"The psychologist Carl Jung estimated that in every 'society' could be found a 'psychopathic' thirty percent. It's sobering to think that over 60 percent of every society --even those we think most cultured --may be largely 'ruled' by about thirty percent who are utterly lacking the restraints that most of us associate with personal maturity, social cohesion, civilization itself. A recent article by Dr. Kevin Barrett explores the dysfunctional underbelly of civilization which he says is "... largely the creation of psychopaths: all civilizations, he claims, are built upon 'slavery and mass murder'.

As I have written of Rome: it was in the death business having outsourced the more odious tasks to its 'Military/Industrial Complex' --the Praetorian Guard. Psychopaths, Dr. Barrett claims, are 'hard-wired to lie, kill, cheat, steal, torture, manipulate, and generally inflict great suffering on other humans without feeling any remorse, in order to establish their own sense of security through domination.'"

it wouldn't surprise me at all if this were true.

i actually was listening to talk radio today, and thinkin that the host (Jay Severin) and a ton of his callers are nothing short of psychopathic.

and by the way, you can be psychopathic and still be a functioning citizen - that's the whole problem i guess.

well it makes sense really. People who are willing to do anything to get what they want are probably going to get more than those who won't do anything. cruel world.

While helping my son study his history for school lately I realized that the "robber barons" in industry were psychopaths because they were willing to sacrifice the lives of their employees and the land to make their fortunes. To them, it was just the way to get themselves ahead. They didn't have a barrier to hurting lots of people the way someone with a conscience would.

People can do things no one else would dream of doing if they don't care about the consequences to others.
