    I haven't been so mad since I saw a program about these telemarketers who prey on lonely old widows in their 80's, getting them to buy all sorts of things and then haranguing them and making them cry when they start running out of money.

    <These guys should be arrested and thrown in jail.>

    Absolutely. And I can't believe after last night's show that some San Diego Co. prosecutor won't go after those guys. I sure hope so.

    I recall reading once that 10%+ of the general population are sociopaths (no conscience). The dumb ones are petty thieves and rob you with a pistol. The smart ones work in Wall St. and rob us with a briefcase.
