I guess it helps some to know that the "selfish perople" syndrome is not new with our generation.

From a post I made yesterday, by Erin Nanasi...

For the past thirty years or so, the party that seems to have attracted the most sociopaths is the GOP.

Sociopaths do not feel empathy. To them, people are simply things to be used for their own pleasure, objects that have no worth. A sociopath will look at a hungry child, or a person with a terminal illness, or the survivor of rape and be unable to comprehend what that person is feeling.
