Merciless pursuit of goal orientation: Karl Rove or BTK (essay)
I'm sure I'm not the first to notice the Christian conservative president of his church council and all-American Boy Scout troup leader SERIAL KILLER has the same sociopathic disconnect from reality and basic human decency that the Bush crime family and their neocon associates have...I think the Moderate Voice is in a subtle way trying to hint at parallels with the essay linked below...

http://www.themoderatevoice.com/posts/1119989145.shtml

"Because when 60-year-old Dennis Rader pleaded guilty in a courtroom in Kansas to 10 murders yesterday, at the judge's prodding the former Scout leader and church president let it all hang out — his psyche, his desire for domination, his thrill at control, his pride in being a craftsman of death — and his merciless pursuit of goal orientation.

Yes, because when Rader talked in chilling, no-holds-barred detail about how he strangled, stabbed and hung men, women and childen one thing became clear. BTK was the ultimate perversion of the only-goal-achievement-matters mentality.

His goal was to feel powerful, exercise that ultimate thrill of control as he felt with his own fingers the lives of his terrified victims end. It didn't matter if it was a doomed mother desperately pleading for her little son's life. Only his goal (the thrill of the kill) mattered; it didn't matter her the woman's son would never experience junior high school, never go to a prom, never know the thrill of getting a driver's license. The kid's living meant part of his goal wouldn't be reached.

Bind Torture and Kill's single minded goal was his fantasy and his desire to feel all-powerful. His desire to target, stalk, surprise, terrorize, dominate and kill."

1. And he wrapped himself in feel-good words he deemed poetic.

2. Don't forget the rule-making. Where both held the others in their lives
to strict meaning of the rules of behaviour as they break the laws All Day Long themselves.
