69. Greed is only one of the symptoms of the Anti-Social Personality Disorder called
Edited on Sat Dec-25-10 08:38 AM by Cal33
"Sociopathy" or "Psychopathy." This is often the type of personality
found in criminals. Just imagine Al Capone in a high position -- whether
in a corporation or government position. They are doing what he would
have done. They are better educated, of course, and perhaps more
sophisticated, but at heart they are still Al Capones.

And they can't help being what they are. They are driven to do what they
do. Nor can they change. This is where Obama is wrong about "bipartisanship."
Would you choose to have Al Capone for a business partner? It's suicide!
In order to understand how to deal with them, Obama needs to consult with
expert mental health professionals. Sociopaths don't think and don't feel
in the way most of the people do.

Yes, and some of us even vote for them to rob us of every red cent we own.
