..."In this article, I'm going to argue that the US government, in particular, is being overrun by the wrong kind of person. It's a trend that's been in motion for many years but has now reached a point of no return. In other words, a type of moral rot has become so prevalent that it's institutional in nature. There is not going to be, therefore, any serious change in the direction in which the US is headed until a genuine crisis topples the existing order. Until then, the trend will accelerate.
The reason is that a certain class of people – sociopaths – are now fully in control of major American institutions. Their beliefs and attitudes are insinuated throughout the economic, political, intellectual and psychological/spiritual fabric of the US."...
Well, we know that a whole TeaParty movement is made up of sociopaths. I imagine a couple have managed to infiltrate the government, particularly since the 2010 elections. Heck, the House of Representatives is made up of a majority of sociopaths...for now.

Yes, not wanting to saddle future generations with debts an honest man can't pay? That is clearly the ideals of a sociopath. A sociopath wants to run up bills right now, make promises on benefits that he knows he won't have to deliver because he is out of office.

Nope, didn't pen it....BUT wish I had, WISE WORDS to heed.(it's a blessed relief to know there
