Government is the religion of the sociopath.

the population in general. naturally they gravitate toward power-occupations.

Perhaps proportional to the ascendance of sociopaths in society at large.

If 16 Saudis fly planes into buildings, they attack Afghanistan.

Catch the sneak attack on the War and Bush?

Osama's organization was in Afghanistan at that time. There was no evidence that the Saudi regime had anything to do with the attack on our Homeland.

With the logic of this statement, our response would have been on the wrong place with the wrong people achieving terrible results.

It betrays typical liberal/progressive thinking.

[Hugin]

He discredited the concept. He made Boobus americanus think it only existed in a distant axis, in places like North Korea, Iraq and Iran – which were and still are irrelevant backwaters and arbitrarily chosen enemies...If 16 Saudis fly planes into buildings, they attack Afghanistan.

Typical PaulPod screed. Blame America for the fact that evil people want to kill us.

Do sociopaths have agendas other than themselves? My real point is some of these people are far worse than sociopaths. They’re narcissistic idealogues with agendas.

[Sherman Logan]

Sociopaths consider themselves superior to everyone else, because they aren't burdened by the emotions and ethics others have – they're above all that. They're arrogant. Although they pretend the opposite.

Not a good description of sociopaths. They don't consider themselves better than other people. They don't think of others as people at all.

To a sociopath there exists only himself and objects. He feels no regret or concern whatsoever regardless of how he treats objects that others refer to as people. How can morality or ethics be involved in how you treat objects?

Some sociopaths are able to effectively feign empathy for others, as they have learned it is an effective way to manipulate some of those objects to get what they want. But they never actually feel the empathy.

Pages, pages, and more pages, then, “It’s quite simpe, really.” Mr. Casey could perhaps slice his (oxymoron) “mini tome” into three or four good short essays. This could make his work valuable.

[PGalt]

These are totalitarian psychopaths in government...

The speculation online is that Doug Casey may be a Scientologist.

If true, would that make him a sociopath as well?
