I was thinking about how Psychopaths dominate normals, and yet even when it's obvious that, say Dick Cheney, is guilty of mass murder, just for starters, he's proud of it and rubs it in your face with sheer pleasure, and gets away Scot-free. It's because he's an Untouchable, who can commit serial crimes against humanity in virtually every country in the world and he continues to be at large, fomenting mayhem unrelentingly. Us members of the "People," however, can be incarcerated indefinitely without a trial on the say-so of any of thousands of Psychopaths that control the security forces — referring of course to that of the State. Is it a coincidence Cheney had a strong hand in vastly limiting the reach of the Constitution at our expense?
One of my favorite writers is a Chilean named Gonzalo Lira, whom, like all others, has usually just technical positions which I do not endorse. But between his powerful compositional style, his underlying breadth of observation and his equally coherent logic, I read every post; which is most Wednesdays. The latest post is a gem, and it takes up the question presented at the outset. You've seen the MUST READ! shout — this one should be read repeatedly until fully absorbed. After a few re-readings I know I've got a long way to go to ring that bell.
