Hmm. I hope the percentage isn't that high, but maybe it is. Not every sociopath is in a legislature.

P.S.: This book is worth reading, though I find it somewhat breathless.

Sociopaths disgust me. In the best of all possible worlds, it would be legal to shoot them, maybe on Feb. 29.

I'm sure a lot of the "characters" of the old West were sociopaths. The frontier gave them anonymity and mobility.

Also, during and after the War Between the States, quite a bit of antisocial behavior became acceptable.

Outgoing New Mexico Governor Bill Richardson announced today that he would not pardon Billy the Kid.

Billy the Kid had been convicted of murder and then promised a pardon if he testified against another criminal. Billy testified but did not receive a pardon. He continued his life of crime until Pat Garrett stopped him in 1881.

Pardoning Billy the Kid has been a cause célèbre for decades among people whom he never shot at or robbed. Descendants of his victims think differently.
