We are a nation of salesmen, liars, frauds, cons, cheats, and manipulators.
Lacking civility and integrity, it's every man for themselves... but with a cover story
of the 'great Christian nation' (so long as that will get you somewhere.)
A skewed sense of ego, expectation, nerve, bravado, and privilege;
the worst of the worst getting away with all manner of criminal pursuits
in between Cheshire cat photo ops and charity cover-ups.
The hubris of immoral thieves and dirt bags, loudly demanding and intimidating
with their thuggish tactics coupled with a disconnect from objective reality.
We are spawning sociopaths as our main export, and that's a short-term
'gain' that will definitely come back to bite us in the ass.

You might can imagine several other possible blog names for this site;
By Any Means Unnecessary.
The Beautiful Lie.
Me, Myself, and I.
They Who Know No Other.
Dead Inside.
Liars, Cons, & Users.
The Hollow Reflection.
Human Quicksand.
(and many, many more.)
It seems that narcissists and sociopaths are multiplying.
Maybe it's the times; perhaps after TV and film
fascination with such characters, people are emulating
them in greater numbers. Maybe it's just a matter of
being more openly discussed. Perhaps the media-based
generations have allowed us to access one another
and compare notes on Tricky Bastards where once
we might just have considered these folks "ladies men"
or "good businessmen" or, just as likely, "successful."
Here's where I will reveal the tactics of the sociopath
and do my best to share how to spot them, how to keep
from being used and abused by one, how to strengthen
yourself, and how to recuperate from having known one
already.
