26. I wonder if it's "human nature" or the way sociopaths normally behave. Calculated lying,

cheating and stealing (and worse) are all part of what they usually do -- as long as
it's beneficial for them. What benefits them is all they care about. So many top
positions in corporations as well as government are filled by such people.

Just Google "Sociopaths Rule The World." You probably will find several
interesting titles in just the first page alone.
