    For some reason, the traits described seem to make for the perfect political candidate. We love self confidence, we tolerate lying if the person at least pretends to care for our needs, and we like the excitement that the psychopath brings to our lives -- even if vicariously as in the care of politicians.
    Then again, can we blame the psychopath for naturally going into politics and the corporate world? He/she desires power and is selfish, but then again we seem to like that as a culture.

    I think fear is the wrong word. Aware is what we need to be of them.
