Have the psychopaths taken over America?

So In the aftermath of Troy Davis's execution - it's time for the United States to do some soul searching. Every nation is in constant change - as Grace Slick said, "Life is change" - and our culture changed for the more compassionate and better with the New Deal, and changed again for the more brutal and selfish with the Reagan Revolution. So what's next? Will we become a nation of people who genuinely care for each other, and builds institutions to respect and help each other - or a brutal, libertarian nation where it's "every man for himself," the country is run by psychopaths, and as Ron Paul implied, we're all free to die like dogs in the gutter? The choice is ours - and the coming election will have a lot to do with determining that future.
