...I'll have to read the book.

I can't imagine any change happening--especially to the P's with so much power. They
have no incentive to change.

They run the candy store. There's nothing in it for them to have a personal epiphany.
Most of these people are beyond middle age, and I view change as impossible. Their
entrenched in their pathology--and their denial seems impenetrable.

As you know...people don't give up their denial easily because it's a protective
mechanism. Victims take a long time to give up denial. These people have denial
related to their victim-status, but they also have denial related to their perpetrator
status.

My therapist has told me that he counsels these types and it often takes two years
just to get these people to see that possibly something is abnormal about them. When
there is videotape evidence or multiple witnesses to their crimes---they still remain
inside a fortress of denial for years.

It exhausts me to ponder that these people are in charge of our country.
