In my time I have known at least my share of psychopathic personalities. Since the general estimate is that about 6% of all people everywhere carry genes that deprive them all genuine emotion, you've probably run into your share, as well. I'm not going to claim to have anything on the high side of average when it comes to empathy -- if anything my love of logic and pure reason tend to rein in my native emotionalism. I'll admit right here that I used to cry when I struck out in Little League, and caught a lot of crap for it, not least from my step-father, may he rest in Peace. And I struck out a lot because I was small, and had a condition called Lazy Eye which he managed not to notice, nor have surgically repaired, like almost all but the poorest parents will do. Though he yearned in a strange way for me to be a successful jock, it must not have occurred to him that my condition resulted in virtually no depth perception. Needless to say, my success at any and all of the ball sports was ruthlessly compromised.
I make this digression mainly to illustrate that one's emotional life can be tempered by learning and analysis to better adapt to the hyper-competitive society in which we live. I believe it is that experience of controlling my emotions which has given me to ability to spot the psychopathic personality, from whom I steer clear as soon as the signs begin to show.
My awareness of larger-than-life psychopaths began with an instinctive dislike of Richard Nixon based on the first-ever televised Presidential debates ahead of the 1960 elections. I was only 11, and I hadn't learned the word, but instinctively I saw that he was ultimately cold, calculating, and the consummate example of a denizen of the Military-Industrial Complex Eisenhower warned us about. Then came the Guns of November in Dallas, and the psychopathic wing of US politics took over -- for good. First the clearly psychopathic Lyndon Johnson, perhaps the ultimate poster boy for the condition, then Nixon got his revenge. Along with another PB for psychopathy, the dreaded Henry Kissinger, he showed to world what modern evil is all about.
So I will attempt to spread the word about this condition, and today's link is to the invaluable web site, Signs Of The Times. Start with the video they have posted at:

Then get either the book "Political Ponerology, The Science Study of Evil Adjusted for Political Purposes" or "911, The Ultimate Truth." The former is a bit deep, but the latter uses extensive quotes from it to illuminate the ultimate Psychopathic Event. They counted on normals buying completely into the Crazed Arab Story simply because most of us can't imagine evil so black that men in power would condone and at least passively facilitate such a colossal Psy-Op to achieve political ends which dictate All War -- All The Time in as many places as possible.
I'd say that's enough homework for today.
