DARWIN PSYCHOPATHS

You have to hand it to Late Night Live presenter Phillip Adams for constantly producing interesting shows. Take the March 24 broadcast on psychopaths. It arose out of the documentary film by Ian Walker about a psychopath called Sam . It included comment by Professor Robert Hare , Emeritus Professor of Psychology , University of British Columbia, creator of the 14 point psychopathy checklist .

Covered in the discussion were corporate psychopaths in the corridors of power which was undoubtedly of interest to Darwin listeners as there are obviously some of these weirdos prancing about on the carpets . Also mentioned were criminal psychopaths and narcissists . Exposing oneself to the professor ‘s checklist revealed this writer is troppo , obsessive, outraged by the numerous cases of injustices and bullying in the Top End and undergoing an hormonal change, in other words - your typical cranky (BUT LOVABLE) old bugger.
