"2,019,234 sociopath Americans out of the gene pool (excluding of course currently non-imprisoned democrats and the lawyer industry)"
Many of these people are far from sociopaths. We should all stop and realize that if there were some way that everyone who ever broke a law were to be caught, convicted, and given the punishment prescribed by law we would be forced to simply declare the entire country a prison because we would all be going inside and the last judge would be forced to sentence himself and slam the door behind his own rear end.
If you think I am exaggerating you simply are not aware of the true situation in "the land of the free"!

I visit people in jail 4 to 6 times per year. You have to work at getting in jail by doing really bad things, with all the diversion programs and soft judges.

In response to your comment, I will correct myself and say that many of the people in jail are sociopaths.

I stand firm however on the sociopathic nature of democrats and especially lawyers!

The U.S. Attorney General Robert H. Jackson, later a Justice of the US Supreme Court, delivered a speech in 1940 in which he said:

"With the law books filled with a great assortment of crimes, a prosecutor stands a fair chance of finding at least a technical violation of some sort on the part of almost anyone," declared Jackson, who later became a Supreme Court justice. "In such a case, it is not a question of discovering the commission of a crime and then looking for the man who committed it, it is a question of picking the man, and then searching the law books, or putting investigators to work, to pin some offense on him."
