It's official. Bush is a Sociopath. |

This was in an e-mail I recieved. Sorry I don't have a link.
Antisocial Personality Disorder is chronic, beginning in adolescence and continuing throughout adulthood. There are ten general symptoms:
not learning from experience no sense of responsibility inability to form meaningful relationships inability to control impulses lack of moral sense chronically antisocial behavior no change in behavior after punishment emotional immaturity lack of guilt self-centeredness
People with this disorder may exhibit criminal behavior. They may not work. If they do work, they are frequently absent or may quit suddenly. They do not consider other people's wishes, welfare or rights. They can be manipulative and may lie to gain personal pleasure or profit. They may default on loans, fail to provide child support, or fail to care for their dependents adequately. High risk sexual behavior and substance abuse are common. Impulsiveness, failure to plan ahead, aggressiveness, irritability, irresponsibility, and a reckless disregard for their own safety and the safety of others are traits of the antisocial personality.
There are many theories about the cause of Antisocial Personality Disorder including experiencing neglectful parenting as a child, low levels of certain neurotransmitters in the brain, and belief that antisocial behavior is justified because of difficult circumstances. Psychotherapy, group therapy, and family therapy are common treatments. The effects of medical treatment are inconclusive. Unfortunately, most people with Antisocial Personality Disorder reject treatment. Therefore, recovery rates are low.

There is little question that he is a very sick man, too bad most folks are too freaked to say it out loud.

....maybe a necktie party over at the Hague will fix him up. Well that is just my unprofessional opinion.
:patriot:ALERT:patriot: to everyone reading this: If you have not already done so, help Rep. Conyers get this impeachment process started. Click on the link posted here. If you have already voted then Thank You Very Much. You give me hope, something which has been in short supply lately.

3. I could easily see him as a Central Amer or African dictator |
|
He's been constrained somewhat by our institutions but he'd have no problem emulating a Pinochet or Amin given the right conditions.

4. As I have written many times.. |
|
he is a Silverspoon Sociopath.
Amerika should feel humiliated that it has such a person representing them but around 45 million are not smart enough to figure this out and many that do just flat out don't give a damn.
