Genius professor says: More people die of hatred than other cause

[The Straight Story]

SPOKANE, Wash., April 5 (UPI) -- More people have died because of human hatred than from any other human cause, a U.S. professor says.

"Yet we still do not know enough about how hatred works and how to prevent and combat it," John Shuford, director of the Gonzaga University Institute for Hate Studies, in Spokane, Wash., said in a statement.

The Gonzaga University Institute for Hate Studies is hosting the Second International Conference on Hate Studies Wednesday through Saturday in Spokane.

The conference purpose is to foster better understanding of the nature of hatred, develop more effective models and approaches for combating it and consider the implications for practice across many fields, Shuford said.
