im not entirely sure that i parsed your smileys/double negations/insinuations as intended ... the irrational aspect was agreeing with psychopaths , those psychopaths will always exist and will not be kept in check by anything except for community enforced morality. the west honed a beautiful set of morals for thousands of years , then proceeded to throw those morals in the bin because tv said so. id feel bad for the west , however this does bring up the conundrum - is a propagandized (or otherwise hypnotized) populace liable for their own actions ?
