Those hilarious 19-percenters!
Check out the QuickVote at CNN.COM

Do you belive the economy is:

Getting better? 19%
Getting worse? 81%

7. Hey! Matches up almost exactly with the figures in this terrific article.
Is George Bush a Psycopath?

One of the main factors to consider in terms of how a society can be taken over by a group of pathological deviants is that the psychopaths' only limitation is the participation of susceptible individuals within that given society. Lobaczewski gives an average figure for the most active deviants of approximately 6% of a given population. (1% essential psychopaths and up to 5% other psychopathies and characteropathies.) The essential psychopath is at the center of the web. The others form the first tier of the psychopath's control system.

The next tier of such a system is composed of individuals who were born normal, but are either already warped by long-term exposure to psychopathic material via familial or social influences, or who, through psychic weakness have chosen to meet the demands of psychopathy for their own selfish ends. Numerically, according to Lobaczewski, this group is about 12% of a given population under normal conditions.

So approximately 18% of any given population is active in the creation and imposition of a Pathocracy. The 6% group constitutes the Pathocratic nobility and the 12% group forms the new bourgeoisie, whose economic situation is the most advantageous.

10. 5 hours later, still the same .. 19%
That is the perfect figure for the Bu$h base. For almost eight years, that 19% has strutted about .. acting like they own the world. The Bu$h base. It is all that is left. 19% and dwindling. We all knew this would happen .. we DUers from the Get-go. We predicted it in 2001.
