~Doug Casey, The Ascendance of Sociopaths in U.S. Governance
Are you quoting casey at face value or as an example of hollow libertarian rhetoric? I think the latter may be closer to the truth.
(though the bit about the US government being corrupt to the point of no return is correct)
Casey is supposed to be some kind of anarchist, yet the idea that a government(american or other) has been taken over by 'bad' people instead of being originally created by bad people, and being ineherently bad, is hardly in line with anarchist political analysis.

I'd like to think his point is the sociological balance is past the tipping point, 'crossed the rubicon' so to speak, where it's no longer possible to repair the society to some globally normal state, or get the sociopaths out of power, if one thinks a capitalist society can be free of psychopaths and sociopaths in the first place. Ps. I'm not anal about sources. ANYONE can feel free to note and analyse the intrinsic problems of society and have their own solutions which I don't have to accept. In other words, punch holes in his premise, not his politics. -- RR "You might want to ask an expert about that - I just fiddled around with mine until it worked..."
