America is psychopathic, breeds psychopaths....
More like it encourages psychopathic traits of selfishness, individuality, egotism, and worth dependent on results not means. This makes it easy for psychopaths to get ahead and be socially acceptable, since the culture is rewarding them for the very dysfunction they display. Someday this may change, but it's about as bad right now as it's ever been.

Quigley, you describe the sad state of contemporary American culture quite well. Unfortunately, we've been that way for much of our history. Slavery, robber barons, the genocide of the natives, etc.
The Onion produces a map of the U.S. that calls America the "Land of Opportunism:"

"The Land of Opportunism: The United States was founded in 1776 on the principles of life, liberty, and the reckless pursuit of happiness at any cost - even life and liberty."
