Poll question: The Diagnose Dick Cheney Game

Dick Cheney:

[NC_Nurse]

1. Bitter old man.

[provis99]

2. a textbook case of the banality of evil

Not crazy, not confused, not demented, just an evil piece of shit.

[saltpoint]

3. Whether the next edition of the DSM is likely going to have to accommodate

your Choice #4 remains to be seen, but I think a letter addressing the consideration should be undertaken.

When power alone is the only thing that motivates someone, and all empathy has been burned out of the mind and heart and neurology, all they can give off is darkness --

"like squids who are confused,
Sending out beams of black light to the open sea..."

--in Robert Bly's memorable phrase.

If we mammals are far from perfect we are also far from neuro-burned mechanical evil. When someone like Dick Cheney achieves that state, he stands out.

I cast shame on Dick Cheney like a kid trespassing in the junkyard, tossing rocks at the rusted hulk of car.
