27. You know what I think the saddest element of this is?

It used to be that there were "good guys" in very powerful positions. The top tier is now
infested with psychopaths, sociopaths and narcissists.

The elites are not just greedy--they are pathological. There is something wrong with them.

They have absolutely no empathy. They are nothing more than common thug abusers
who lack morals and a conscience. However, they have slowly found each other, amassed
power and galvanized to make destructive, sick policies the way of the world.

It's worth noting that these buffoons use religion to pull along their "base." Ha! That gets me
every time. There's nothing spiritual or God-directed about these people. I'm an atheist, but I know
plenty of decent religious people who just want to do the right thing. So, I understand and respect
that. However, these goons serve only themselves and they bamboozle the religious right
and other church goers into believing that they're on their side.

It's crazy in spades.
