  1. Who is this ‘Athena Walker’, reeking of arrogance, and normalising the pathology of psycopathy by the use of such expressions as and ‘psychopathy is present from the first breath ‘one’ takes, to the last.’
    Proud to be parasitic? Imagine a community of psycopaths-… there can be no such thing as they are all parasites and predators and therefore, nothing to be proud of. Their existence requires the existence of communities of people, capable of the full range of nurturing emotions rather than just the pathetic psycopath’s self serving, unbridled greed that delights in duping everyone else and causing harm.
