Have Sex, Save the Rainforest Concert

How Far Would You Go To Save The World? - not safe for work

Controversial Kristopher Schau loves to shock his audience, and few knew what was in store for them as they went to his concert at the Quart music festival. In the middle of the concert, a young couple entered the stage.

"How far are you willing to go to save the world?" asked the young man, and without much ado, the couple pulled off their clothes.

[The band] Cumshots provided the background music as the couple had intercourse right in front of the audience. A banner was raised on stage informing the audience that the couple was having sex to save the rainforest. After completing the intercourse, the couple received applause from the audience and disappeared.

The Sensual Liberation Army also wants to put porn to work for liberal causes.

Is this too much a liberal interest in sex?

Consider our champion of conservative values

George W. Bush Killed Frogs With Fireworks: "Old family friends talk about how Dubya, as a kid, used to stick firecracker up inside frogs, then toss the frog into the air and laugh when it blew into a ball of red and green pieces."

Bush pursed his lips and said in a tiny voice, "Please don't kill me," to make fun of his execution of Karla Faye Tucker.

"...when he was a kid, George W. enjoyed putting firecrackers into frogs, throwing them in the air, and then watching them blow up. Should this be cause for alarm? How relevant is a man's childhood behavior to what he is like as an adult? And in this case, to what he would be like as president.. George's childhood friend, Terry Throckmorton, openly and laughingly admits, "We were terrible to animals."

"They say he's a sociopath because they don't know what else to call him. He has some of the characteristics of what they call a sociopath. He has no remorse or guilt at all. And he had the first and worst sign - sadism to animals as a child." - Thomas Harris, Author of Red Dragon

Most scaring is the fact that between 1 and 4 % of the population is sociopathic in a lesser or larger degree. Of course, most of the persons with SPD are not criminals and are able to control it within the limits of social tolerability. They are considered only "socially obnoxious" or hateful personalities, and every one of us knows of someone who fits the description. Corrupt and callous politicians, social or career fast climbers, authoritarian leaders, abusing and aggressive persons, etc., are among them. A common characteristic is that they engage systematically in deception and manipulation of others for personal gain. In fact, many successful and adapted non-violent sociopaths can be found in our society. An NIMH epidemiologic study reported that only 47% of those who met the SPD criteria had a significant arrest record. The most relevant events for these persons occur in the area of job problems, domestic violence, traffic offenses, and severe marital difficulties. Many people avoid individuals with this personality disorder because they are irritable, argumentative, contentious and intimidating. Their behavior is oftentimes brash, unpredictable and arrogant.

Violent sociopaths show a history of torturing small animals when they were children, firesetting and vandalism, systematic lies (truancy), stealing, aggression to school mates and challenge to the authority of parents and teachers.

The fact that sociopaths have little empathy for the suffering of others has been experimentally demonstrated in many studies which have shown that they display abnormal processing of the emotional aspects of language, and that they have unusually weak physiological responses (in the autonomous nervous system) to images, words and situations of high emotional content. As it happens with predators, sociopaths are able of extremely heightened attention in certain situations.

The sociopathic disorder is also highly associated with the incidence of drug abuse and alcoholism.

Under stressing social situations such as in wars, general poverty and breakdown of the economy, sweeping epidemics or political fighting, etc., sociopaths may acquire the status of regional or national leaders and saviors, such as Adolf Hitler, Stalin, Saddam Hussein, Idi Amin, etc. When they are in positions of power, they can inflict far more damage than as individuals.
