It's only a matter of time before the psychopaths achieve hegemony and they twist even the most unambiguous criticism against them, while praising the authors to the heavens for precepts, which, far from being a central part of their teaching, they, in fact, vehemently opposed.

Adam Smith is a prime example: "All for ourselves, and nothing for other people, seems, in every age of the world, to have been the vile maxim of the masters of mankind."

Take good note of the term, 'the masters of mankind'. Ponder it in general terms; but also ponder it in specific terms. Who are currently the masters of mankind? Who call the shots? Who does Obama have to defer to?

Smith goes right to the heart of the problem: regulate THEM, because they are anarchists who will impose their 'freedoms' on mankind.

In his essay on comparative religion, The Perennial Philosophy, Aldous Huxley addresses man's hubris and the eventual nemesis visited upon him, ascribing some blame to the injunctions in the Judaeo-Christian scriptures for man to assume dominion over creation. However, it is Man's fallen nature which leads him to abuse that power, and part of his quasi divine dignity to exercise such dominion in a humble, respectful, responsible and loving manner.
