1. Sociopaths?

We had TWO of them vying for office here in California this year. Both WOMEN too? Heh - what about their "maternal" instincts? Oh - that's right, in the sub-human world, mom kicks out one hatchling so the other one can survive on limited resources.

2. It's ironic

that corporations are legal pathological institutions in a society that touts it's ethical values. There is, however, no irony in the fact that psychopaths would be the natural choices to operate such entities.

3. I don't see this as much different from Myers - Briggs

The feeling dimension as opposed to the calculating/scientific proof dimension (my own words).

4. Empathy or sociopath

All our institutions are failing us because they are all run by sociopaths.

If all our powerful leaders respected the moral principals of the bible, America would be enjoying prosperity for all, universal health care, a shrinking military industrial complex, and aggressive war against global climate change. And the entire George W. Bush White House would be tried in Nuremberg for war crimes, murder, and crimes against humanity.

Look at the income disparity between the top 1 or 2% vs those of uss losers in the bottom 98%. Real income has been constant for the bottom 98% for the last 30 years, but the top 2% has seen their incomes rise drastically at the same time. (Forgot the numbers, and that info is important. Hope somebody enhances the info here in my post)

5. I agree with your post except for the part about bible principals.

I think society should be able to do better then the principals espoused in an outdated fiction.
