"The disposition of all power is to abuses, nor does it at all mend the matter that its possessors are a majority. Unrestrained political authority, though it be confided to masses, cannot be trusted without positive limitations, men in bodies being but an aggregation of the passions, weaknesses and interests of men as individuals." ~ James Fenimore Cooper

"If violent offenders are psychopathic, they are able to assault, rape, and murder without concern for legal, moral, or social consequences. This allows them to do what they want, whenever they want.

" ~ Harrison Koehli, Ponerology[1] 101: The Political Psychopath

"...Similarly, he believes evolution now selects for other traits--namely, the most healthy and the most immune, not the most intelligent..."
Highly educated ignoramuses are incapable of determining the roll of environment (the example you and I set) in the promotion of intelligence.
But hope is on the way.

Thank you, Sam! Twilight of the Psychopaths was like a tiny ray of sunshine, in what appears to be an otherwise dark future for mankind.
Greetings Sam.
The Barrett piece was genius of a phrophet. Having read this I now even grow more fearful of the "ponerologist" resting on the seat of power of the U.S. Brillian piece. It is as close to the truth that one could possibly get.
