Psychopaths are quite common. Most are not hands-on killers. They differ from us in their lack of conscience, inability to imagine others' pain, and total lack of remorse for harm they cause. With these advantages, they rise to the top of hierarchies; and hierarchies become top-heavy with psychopaths. Which explains a good deal of U.S. domestic and foreign policy. Drs. SUSAN ROSENTHAL, MICHAEL PARENTI, K. DOWST--& redneck social commentator JOE BAGEANT--explore the implications.
