Good for you, babe. Everyone should experience the delight that is a Taco Bell chalupa.

Didn't the chalupa appear right after the Taco Bell chihuahua disappeared? I'm not sure that was actually beef, babe.
I haven't followed seriously followed Taco Bell, bro. It's always been a wolf raid on a tee pee or shack along the road. I eat and run with rarely a second thought. My chief complaint about the Chalupa yesterday was there were some places where the wrapping paper was wet and torn, and some slop fell out on my lap. . . .. and I was in my wife's immaculate car. I had to resort to placing the bag under the Chalupa. Not much beef I admit.
I differ in fact from your willingness to consider Obama and Pelosi "sociopaths". Scale has nothing to do with the disease process that affects an individual brain. We like to imagine that "human" brains are naturally endowed with certain affections and virtues beneficial to social interactions. Experience in social relations is a conditioning history. The lack of conditioning is what the psychiatrists are calling a mental disorder. The "science" behind such "clinical pathologies" is really just a collective will to see things in such a way, a "conditioning history" shared by professionals who use the same handbook.
Christian theology might be a comparable "conditioning history" for those who believe it, which differs from the socialist educational regime of our "professional psychiatrists". Christian theology sets forth a view that an alienation event (the Fall of Adam) has separated us from God, and given us a natural tendency towards "sin" of all kinds, and that it takes a choice on our part to accept the Atonement and invite God back into our souls. Some Christians pray "Come into my heart, Lord Jesus" with the sense that Jesus will heal and restore us to the good potential of "humanity".
You have the choice, God has the power to heal.
The real salvation of any nation is the willingness of its people to be healed.
so, if I set aside the bit about Christian Theology for a while, I would still not consider Napleon, ( or. . . Mao, Stalin, Hitler, Lenin or a hundred other more petty but equally atrocious modern dictators whether socialist or more blatant conspicuous consumers with a penchant for accumulating personal perogatives who have succeeded in gaining dictatorial powers over some people in some places for a space of some time), to be sociopaths or psychopaths of any kind. They are normal people. Their chief problem in the whole sphere of public perceptions is simply the scale of notice. Not very many people know about, or can discuss, the behavior of the neighbor down the road a piece who is in every aspect just as willing to abuse others for personal convenience or gain.
Obama, Pelosi, and Reid are clearly acting within a social context. . . . call it a "social contract". . . . that depends on significant social acceptance or social justification of their pet projects. We have a massive institutional mainstream media whose supporting propaganda is vital to their plans. The fact that the ownership of our mainstream media, and the cartels in other areas of our economy, sorta dovetail into a relatively small number of actual decision-makers, simply reduces the equation.
Most of the publicly visible "leaders" we have are fairly impotent players. . . puppets with strings attached. . . . .
Obama is a "plantation manager" with the smile and manners of the average shoeshine boy. Pelosi and Reid are just as eager to please. Nope, no sociopaths on this list.
In the higher circles of power today, there is still a "culture" that prevails and governs among the more "elite". These people have manners, friends, and know how to get along with one another. They just share a common view in some major respects about the things that need to be done.
So, as I am boiling it all down, what we have is a "professional" gang of psychiatrists who have agreed on the terms to be used in classifying the little people, and who have agreed to experiment upon them the use of various treatments and pharmaceutical "treatments", in the attempt to manipulate the poor little normal people they are empowered to "treat".
The "science" behind the clinical diagnostic criteria is not objective, but subjective and arising from the socialist perspective the "scientists" have been trained to accept.

I didn't get this post at all until just now.
Well, I'm used to dog being peddled like beef. I've eaten in many a rustic rural Philippine eatery in my day.
One day on an excursion into one of the more remote locales, there was a fairly casual stark naked man sauntering down the "road" with a fine looking cur slung over his back, obviously happy with the prospect of an actual meal.
cover what.
I'm still contemplating your cryptic posting, which I conceive as circumscribing cosmic comprehension.
I take it you're referring to the whole Mormon godhead development.....
hmmmm. . . . is it Sunday. . . . . I guess it's time for Sunday School.
There's an excellent essay on the Trinity in the Book of Mormon. Anyone care to comment on how some aborigines in the Americas anticipated Constantine's difficulties in composing an all-embracing theory on God?

So this isn't the LDS lesson manual, but it appears to be fairly valid/factual on most general points. . . .

In my reading of the Bible I see no clear statement of the idea of God actually being a human person like all the rest of us. The idea is generally that God is something else/someone else not to be taken lightly because of having absolute authority over man.
The Book of Mormon, in my eyes, appears to assume the Biblical God including the later doctrinal development of the Trinity. . . . In Mosiah 15 there is a specific attempt to logically present the Trinity in a simplified way. . . . .

I heard dem gold plates are buryyed over in dem hills yonder
seriously, the Angel Moroni took them and kept them, possibly in the gold vaults of the city paved with gold.
Equally probable propositions deserve to be closely associated in theology.
