This is a Sociopath Test:
The Sociopath will understand that the purpose of going to Africa to treat Ebola is the Victory Lap. In order to get the most out of the Victory Lap, it must happen during the incubation stage, so the Heroic Hero does not even know whether he will live or die. It is a narcissist’s dream. It is almost as good as contracting Ebola. Better even, because it does not involve that messy bleeding-from-the-eyeballs business.
The Normal Person will understand that the purpose of going to Africa to treat Ebola is to alleviate suffering and prevent the spread of disease. The Normal Person will accept quarantine, and would be embarrassed to be caught out in public during the incubation period, because protecting the public health is paramount.
So the Sociopath sees mandatory quarantine and an inhumane injustice that will prevent anybody from volunteering to treat the disease, while the Normal Person sees quarantine as a perfectly sensible policy that any reasonable volunteer would not only accept, but insist upon.
Which brings us to the President of the United States...
Quintessentially liberal -
we’re supposed to judge her by her intentions and her good works,
and since she’s such a good person, we’re not to judge anything else about her or make her comply with rules that lesser people have to.
I hate to say it, but I was thinking the same thing.
Cleave her with a sword.
I agree with everything you posted and could not have written it quite so succinctly. Thanks for the post. BTTT.
