Do we have psychopaths in out mist?

[Angrboda]

Psychopaths with keyboards don't worry me 1/4 as much as psychopaths with guns.

I'm more worried about the psychopaths in board rooms or in congress. The only reason the religious psychopaths scare me at all is because they use their pulpit to influence other facets of our lives.

I think you'll find the oft touted degree of psychopathy in such people to be an exaggeration caused by a poorly designed initial study combined with a media titillation at the appeal of the related headlines. Later studies were much less dramatic and depended on better measures of psychopathy and better controls.
