There are a lot of you guys out there and I never fail to wonder if you don't understand your blind spot, or if it's not blind at all and you whistle past it for ideological reasons.

Without saying leftist you take a bunch of swings at what is perceived as the left. In fact, of course, narcissism has many forms.

Somehow you write an entire article without mentioning the man (or his movement) who would serve as the picture dictionary definitition of narcissism. Which is weird. He's just as orange as ever.

That leads to this: I'd argue that narcissism and sociopathy have a wide overlap - obsession with self can be hard to distinguish from/is essentially the same as disdain for others.

You want to pick on people who are trying, however clumsily, to bring about a more egalitarian world. Yes, they make me cringe sometimes, too. The world is in flux, and in times of flux many new species and forms of current ones rise and fall as evolution prunes the hedges.

We've blundered along as a country without ever fully admitting the truth: White people built the country on the back of Black slave labor; men have treated women apallingly, as have the rich to the poor, the straight to the gay, etc.

The first of those is ended, the latter ones carry on. But in any event, the repercussions echo on. For example, one of the reasons Black people are on average poorer is they have been excluded from the traditional forms of building wealth. Slavery may be gone, but its effects on relative socioeconomic disparity lives on.

So let's don't let off the hook those people who are working hard to maintain the current non-egalitarian one, the political right. Most especially the Christian right.

Because let's face, nobody on God's green Earth is as narcissistic as a devout follower of God.
