Fat rises to the top of the pot because of its physical makeup, sociopaths rise to positions of power/influence because of their genetic need to control and be on display.

Normal folks are often perplexed and even marvel about the extent of corrupt behavior by those who they thought were at least somewhat honorable before they became elected/appointed/hired to positions of influence. Normals have a hard time, sometimes nearly impossible comprehending the extent of amoral (at best) conduct of those usually beguiling individuals who often get away with a lifetime of parasitism in the name of “public service” and “giving back” (When did you ever see any politicrat give the money back to the taxpayer from whom it was stolen?)

With these thoughts in mind perhaps the pattern is easier to discern.  Certainly not all, but many if not most seeking government jobs, especially those of influence/power will and do display behavior ranging from entitlement, arrogance, lying, cheating, stealing, rough-shodding, deception, narcissism, manipulation, cruelty, perversion, murder, and treason.
Once in power the Sociopaths hang-on like wolverines to their “destiny” to lead and to control, no matter how disastrous for the country, how suicidal for their constituents (you know, the ones they promised to “serve”).

Ensconced in their government position the training really begins.  The workshops, task forcing, study groups, seminars, retreats, etc. where they are usually taught by other opportunists (private or governmental) about how to take advantage of the myriads of programs which enhance their own, either in control or in funding.  Meanwhile they laugh all the way to the bank with our money.

The rare honest person who is elected/hired/appointed finds themselves ignored if not ostracized or downright smeared.  They have no voice since there is no one, especially in the media, to listen, care, or truthfully report.

Perhaps the greatest Oxymoron of all is the “Bill Clinton School for Public Service”. 

We all know FAT is not good for us, in fact can kill us, therefore we skim it off the top of our cooking pot, but when our behemoth system is crammed with so many sociopaths that it is impossible to skim them out of our diet, how on earth do we save our lives and the lives of our productive taxpaying friends & families?
