OK, I give. I've been talking about Crime and Punishment, and the mind of Dostoyevsky in relation to psychiatric maladies such as sociopathy.. . . . .
well, not here but with someone who has a MSW and works in a prison with these types. . . . .
she thought there was a good story in Psychology Today about a Mormon self-confessed "sociopath" who has written a book about herself. Talk about over-diagnosis as trending today. . . . .

I think it is "normal" for people. . . . for most people for sure. . . .for such a large majority of folks, to be once in a while manipulative, self-absorbed, and conscienceless about the effects of their deeds, or even compulsive about some aspects of these sorts of things. Lying is a matter of simple "street smarts" for most of us. You just don't say "the wrong things". It's such a normal thing we might think someone who doesn't is the one with the deviation from normalcy. . . .
And sure, the smarter you are, the better you can do these things. I could debate whether Napoleon was a sociopath or just a shrewd politician and general. . . . . he did what he had to do to win. . . . . he did it with the uttermost in self-discipline, planning, and determined follow-through with his plans.
Nope. To be a clinical case of a psychiatric disorder, I think we have to eliminate obviously functional and rational instances resembling the diagnostic criteria. . . .. or else we'll have to start calling Obama and Reid and Pelosi "sociopaths" for passing Obamacare while cooing
"We've got to pass this so we can see what it is"
while setting up 196 new government bureaucracies with the power to do invasive evaluations of every aspect of individual lives, and empowering them to dictate to folks what the circumstances of their lives, and the length of their lives. . . is going to be.

What's wrong with urine and stool?
If it was so bad there wouldn't be so many words for both.
Should I list them for you babe?
I'm not one to gossip
But I must dispel the rumor
That art cannot be well portrayed
Through graphic potty humor
We find a kind of solace
In the witty observation
Of the day to day minutia
That defines our mortal station
There are other types of functions
That we could talk about
But everybody does these
(And takes pictures, if they're Trout)
So join with me and celebrate
The yellow and the brown
And give them both a fine salute
Before you flush them down
But I must dispel the rumor
That art cannot be well portrayed
Through graphic potty humor

Of the day to day minutia
