   Good Alternet post. You knew Sam Zell was  a sociopath the first time you saw him “talk” to his employees. And everytime he’s on tv, much of which is on YouTube. If you’re a decent human being, you find him hard to watch, reflexively repugnant. Ugly and hateful just oozes from him.  The only remarkable thing is how this is normalized by the people sitting around interviewing him. They just take it without blinking, many nodding their heads. Ted Nugent is another example. He’s pure sociopathy and, again, it’s difficult to imagine anyone not seeing it the instant he opens his mouth on tv. This leads you to thinking about why it’s become so accepted. It took three or four decades of propagandizing to get us to this point.

   Well said.

   Afterthought: As I realized years ago, in Republican World, wealth is the sole indicator of virtue.
