>Are you suggesting that we should prevent anyone with a medical condition from taking office?

NO NO NO.

I am saying we should prevent people with ONE SPECIFIC medical condition from holding office for the reason that people with that specific medical condition are unable to empathize with other human beings in a normal manner.

Such failure to empathize is the one thing most likely to lead to the horrible things which it sounds like you are thinking about.

If you would like to discuss this I would be happy to communicate with you in mail. I have done a lot of reading on totalitarianisms intersection with health care and I can document what i say. I am specifically hoping to prevent the same thing you are.

I believe very strongly in freedom of THOUGHT. thats not what we are talking about here.

Are you familiar with what NPD is? its caused by early childhood anxiety, it seems. At a specific time in life.

If in the past we could have prevented people with NPD from holding office, some very bad things would have been prevented.
