Criminal Profiling....

This made me laugh.  Im not at all surprised though, I have always thought that people in positions of ultimate power have had to do all manner of evil things to get there - this just proves that theory correct!

"Using his law enforcement experience and data drawn from the FBI's behavioral analysis unit, Jim Kouri has collected a series of personality traits common to a couple of professions.

Kouri, who's a vice president of the National Assn. of Chiefs of Police, has assembled traits such as superficial charm, an exaggerated sense of self-worth, glibness, lying, lack of remorse and manipulation of others.

These traits, Kouri points out in his analysis, are common to psychopathic serial killers.

But -- and here's the part that may spark some controversy and defensive discussion -- these traits are also common to American politicians."

I found this quotation from Lord Acton:

"Power tends to corrupt, absolute power corrupts absolutely. Great men are almost always bad men."

I rest my case.....
