  The demise of the Tyrant Hussein with three accomplices makes me reflect on the nativistic and socialization that formed them and their culture. The following is from the file I use when I work on the Irrationalist Presidents site. DETAILED ANALYSIS OF THE PSYCHOPATH Psychopaths cannot be understood in terms of antisocial rearing or development. They are simply morally depraved individuals who represent the "monsters" in our society. They are unstoppable and untreatable predators whose violence is planned, purposeful and emotionless. The violence continues until it reaches a plateau at age 50 or so, then tapers off. Their emotionlessness reflects a detached, fearless, and possibly dissociated state, revealing a lower autonomic nervous system and lack of anxiety. It's difficult to say what motivates them - control and dominance possibly - since their life history will usually show no bonds with others nor much rhyme to their reason (other than the planning of violence). ...

  Gerald Ford was the 38th President of the United States. He was nominated as Vice-President by then President Richard Nixon. Within hours Richard Nixon resigned. No one wishes to see another die. Herein history can witness the role that Gerald Ford has played. He covered the downfall of the benefactor that placed him at the height of stature. He has re-affirmed his decision to pardon Richard Nixon so the country can move forward. It is said that Gerald Ford did not agree with President Bush’s Iraq Policy. It is clear that Gerald Ford has a public opinion of events that shape us all. I am writing from Blythe California east on I-10 of Palm Springs/Rancho Mirage. I have spent the early part of the year near the Salton Sea. Gerald Ford again demonstrates that his role is cover the mistakes of the United States. He has died with no position of the systematic abuse as scorched earth. It is unique to note that June 17, is the date that Watergate broke open. Ford was appointed Vice-Pres...

  Jagannath Temple Priests to Purify Temple following Dalit Worship BY: STAFF CORRESPONDENT Dec 16, KENDRAPADA, ORISSA (HPI) — Following the court ruling declaring their rights to enter the Jagannath temple regardless of the upper caste ban, Dalits on Thursday, with police protection, entered the temple in Keradagarh village and worshipped. A day after the 200 Dalits worshipped, the Jagannath temple's priests said they would perform purification rituals before the temple reopened. The temple's chief priest, Madan Mohan Panda said, "We stopped all the rituals that have been regularly performed since decades after they (Dalits) entered the temple on Thursday. The Dalits have besmirched the religious traditions and made impure the temple. Now as per practice, we need to perform Maha Snana, a bath ritual of the deity. We have already contacted the local royal family members, as the temple was built in the 18th century by their predecessors, to seek their permission to perform ...

  The death of former UN Ambassador Jeane Kirkpatrick brings to closure the fate of another member of President Ronald Reagan’s administration. Kirkpatrick has been accoladed by many figures as George Shulzt and Condoleezza Rice. She was known for being clear minded and straightforward. I remember some of her commentaries to reflect a very logical style of presentation. A liberal Democrat at first she changed parties championing human rights and democracy. She is considered to be a forbearer of the neo-conservative movement. Historically she helped cut off aid to Nicaragua and supported a military junta in El Salvador. She also made distinction between authoritarian regimes and totalitarianism. She stated a preference for the former of which I concur. Never the less Jeane Kirkpatrick exits this world as another ambiguous statement to the abuse of SCORCHED EARTH that her mentor Ronald Reagan initiated. Her praise by the choir sits well only in certain churches. Her true role in TOTA...
