It wouldn't have saved the world a spot of bother. Hitler was created by what someone has called the money party. He was created to do a certain thing. If not him, they'd have found somebody else. a

My understanding of it is that it's not so easy to diagnose and the symptoms can be misinterpreted. I read a biography of Adolf and he seemed a product of circumstance rather than someone certifiable from birth. I can't remember the title of the book I read about the classification of sociopathy but the author had a sliding scale of severity and he thought those at the top should be locked up immediatetly and permanently! Not sure how that would go down with civil liberties groups but might have saved the world a spot of bother last century. Send instant messages to your online friends http://uk.messenger.yahoo.com
