"Politicians are more likely than people in the general population to be sociopaths. I think you would find no expert in the field of sociopathy/ psychopathy/ antisocial personality disorder who would dispute [that] a small minority of human beings literally have no conscience -- but it does explain a great many things, shamelessly deceitful political behavior being one." -- Dr. Martha Stout, clinical psychologist and former instructor at Harvard Medical School
