someone has called the money party.  He was created to do a certain thing.  If 
not him, they'd have found somebody else.  a

 Good point, but was Hitler actually a sociopath? 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.
