A nationwide research study in the United Kingdom found something pretty amazing.
Seventy percent of people have no psychopathic tendencies.
Also in a podcast interview published on the website of the American Psychological Association, Abigail Marsh, PhD., professor in the department of psychology and the interdisciplinary neuroscience program at Georgetown University, says: “Although severe psychopathy affects just about 1% of people, some research suggests that close to 30% of us have some level of psychopathic traits. And we may even know people who fall under this broad umbrella.”
This means 70% are just good normal people. They are really the meek and the salt of the earth.
However, 30 percent were on the psychopathic spectrum.
One percent were full blown psychos and the rest of the 30% were at some point of the scale.
Perhaps the same percentages apply to people everywhere since most people are good and the rest are troublemakers who make things hard on the meek of the earth.
Why is this interesting? Because arguably without seeking to make itself an empire beyond its coast to coast demarcations and, of course, a border with Canada and Mexico, America wanted freedom to worship God and, also, to democratically govern itself thus becoming a free and prosperous nation.
The United States of America has at least three distinguishing characteristics.
The first is that the vast majority believe in God. In fact, during World War II and from 1944 through the 1960s about 98% of Americans said they believed in God. Today after more than half a century of leftist and Marxist indoctrination in American schools and universities only 81% believe in God.
The second is the citizens of America have a treasured and thus far durable Constitution that embodies the fundamental principles of their self-governance and a Bill of Rights that guarantees them, for example, freedom of speech and the right to bear arms for the preservation of life, liberty, and property, and also to prevent oppression and tyranny should the latter arise.
The third is that every citizen has one vote, but no citizen’s vote counts for less or more than one vote.
An intellectually gifted person such as Elon Musk with all the drive in the world who in 2021 paid $11 billion in taxes has exactly one vote, and, on the other hand, a person who has downs syndrome who can barely function or provide for themselves in society and paid zero in taxes has exactly one vote.
That may seem like a crazy way to run a country but it works well when elections are not corrupt.
Sir Winston Churchill, a former Prime Minister of the United Kingdom in the mid-20th century and a notable historian, said, “Democracy is the worst form of Government except all those other forms that have been tried from time to time.” In other words, when you measure the worth of the American democracy against all the other alternatives that nations have participated in, no other system of government in history compares to the benefits of democracy and its advocacy of human rights.
No matter what political party you favor in America you’re playing with fire if you let your party win any election – even for the position of local dog catcher – by committing fraud to get elected.
Why? Because the common sense of at least seventy percent of the people voting in a fair election outweighs the corruption of the 30% who are self-interested and no matter how much they espouse a concern for the plight of others they could care less about them which is the mark of psychopaths.
