A caller in to Thom Hartmann, who identified himself as a retired cop spoke to Thom saying that everyday that he went to work, he was dealing with sociopaths and got to know how to spot one very well. He went on to say that George Bush but especially Dick Cheney are sociopaths without a doubt in his estimation. He also went on to say that we really need to rethink what is criminal in this country because sociopathy is a disease and should be treated as such before these people get out on the streets or even worse into public office like Bush and Cheney have.
I have never taken a psychology course so I don't know much about psycopathologies but I think I too can figure out a sociopath if I cross one's path. This is food for thought. How do we screen out these sick people from ever taking part in the political process without violating their constitutional rights? I don't think the world can ever handle another Caligula, Hitler or Bush/Cheney again.
