Just starting the year, or finishing last year?
The same people who have the full control of prescription drugs want to control guns…..uh no thanks.
Stefan, if you’re a reader, checkout The Sociopath Next Door by Martha Stout. It profiled one of my exes perfectly. When I discussed it with him (well after we broke up) he very calmly said, “Well, yes, Bridget – I am. I’ve known what I am for a very long time.” They really are completely devoid of guilt.
Comically – CEO, Lawyer, Media, Salesperson and Civil Servant are all in the Top 10 professions for psychopaths. That’s just about every single reader on this site.
Hi gang.
From the Cherokee Tribune article, I like this:
District 22 Rep. Calvin Hill (R-Hickory Flat) said he plans to again introduce a bill prohibiting anyone owing state, federal or local taxes from seeking any elected office in Georgia.
AND, I didn’t know we had a new female Republican representative. http://www.mandiforhouse.com/meet-mandi/
You get an A+ for the morning reads today, Stefan.
“are psychopaths likely in your profession?”
…You cover a profession in politics that is full of them, do you really even have to ask?
