Psychopaths…we usually only know them from Hollywood movies, as serial killers, rapists or sadists. If they made a movie about the unravelling saga of the Enron collapse, no-one would get killed…but the main characters would still be as chilling and ruthless as any baddie from a B-grade horror flick.

Psychopaths people our nightmares and literature, but we never expect them to enter our real life.

But the psychopath is closer than you think.

Most of them function incognito in high-powered professions like the law, politics, entertainment, the church, the military, trade unions, the media and the arts.

All the way to the very top.

Cring horror, some take logic over sentiment. Didn't Aristotle say that man was the 'rational' animal?

You recognize them by the American flagpin they have stuck on their suit collars. The usually say stuff like, "Make no mistake, America will not retreat from terrorists," or "They are evil-doers." Some of them even think God talks to them.

It's the very soup that was used to exterminate millions of innocents, I must warn you. Weapons of mass production, some call it. Worse yet -after their horrid deaths many of the victims were turned into Brillo Soap pads.

Certain hate-mongers claim that the efficient cleaning ability of the product renders the Brillo pads more valuable than the Human Beings sacrificed for their making. :eek:

Brillo® Hotel Size Soap Pads

The special combination of metal fiber and soap in these BRILLO SOAP PADS dissolves stubborn grease and lifts off sticky food particles leaving a bright new shine.

Not only do these pads work double time, they work quickly and one pad cleans many items, cutting cost by saving labor and time.

From the Brillo FAQ:

Q. Are Brillo® Steel Wool Soap Pads kosher?
A. No, Brillo® pads are not kosher.

For some of us it may be as simple as looking in the mirror.

Yes, I function "incognito". Now that you know, I must kill you. ;)

But seriously, I don't even think there is such a thing as psychopathy, just different kinds of people.

Psychopaths may be among the people who run your country!!!
They could be conspiring to some evil deed!

Now, isn't that a great reason to buy some handguns!!!
