According to many writers, psychopaths are particulrly good at charming people. Door to door sales is a profession that attracts and suits psychopaths.

How many people today understand that 1% of the population is psychopathic? I dont think most get the whole psycho thing.

Great illustrationsof the point: Hitler was so popular he was elected by the german people.
Presumably some saw or guessed at what he really was, but the majority voted him in, didnt want to hear it.
Psychopaths have a vague reputation for being very dangeous people, and they are, but the ways theyre dangerous are not understood by much of the populace. Rather than being crazed violent scary looking people, they in fact appear to fit in, are good at gaining peoples confidence, and have not the remotest hesitation about committing appalling and destructive crimes, and doing so without any sign of being bothered about them. Their prime danger lies in their ability to mingle among us undetected and unsuspected.
Ask the average person if they know a psychopath, and they will say no. But at 1%, most of us do, we just dont know it.
