I agree Mark. It is very sad that people aren't getting this, but I have to say that I have learned a lot from these movers and shakers. What frightens me is the unwillingness to be taught and how Trump could be their leader, except that I can see why: "Shame makes narcissists feel insecure and inadequate―vulnerable feelings that they must deny to themselves and others. This is one reason that they can’t take criticism, responsibility, dissent, or negative feedback even when meant to be constructive. Instead, they demand unconditional, positive regard from others, (Lancer)." Our culture, where off-shoring and monetary dislocation, for example, strips men and women of self-esteem, leads to hero worship that reflects the psychosis of such heroes. If you can't love yourself, how can you love others? It takes someone with a backbone to recognize their responsibility, but there is a point, where something also needs to be changed in reality. So many men are completely lost, and that is dangerous.
