I wrote: "I sometimes wonder about Jeffrey Dahmer. I think he had depression, so he was just sick, not really a sociopath, but what made him sick? What combination of wiring and environment?" Needless to say, bad sentence. I think I originally started out to delete the whole thing and didn't quite get there. Having started it though, let's try it again, maybe come closer this time. I think he had depression, which affects nearly everybody at some point. Depression has been called the common cold of the mind. Depression explains nothing at all. Dahmer clearly had issues with abandonment too, which also explains nothing. I'd love to see an FBI profile on him. If they have a profile on him. I don't know if he crossed state lines or not. Corporate sociopaths are much more interesting and relevant. Non-sociopaths, like Bush II, are more interesting. He was an alcoholic, so chances are he was self medicating. His disdain for the little people fits the profile of splitting off the hurt part of himself. Unfortunately he was running the country. Andy
