Anyone here ever wonder how they'd react if they were involved in the Milgram Experiments?

I like to think I'm a pretty smart cookie, but the results of that test scared the shit outta me, sometimes I wonder what I'd have done in that situation, and I'd like to think without a doubt that i'd run the fuck outta there as soon as possible and call the police, but after looking at the results, who really knows what a person would do. Very scary stuff.

1. Yes, I've wondered about that too.

I'd like to think I'd object and refuse to inflict any more pain, but would I? I forget all the details but I remember the results were very disturbing. Statistically, most of us would follow orders and inflict pain if told to do so. Creepy, very creepy.
