[FRIAM] satire collapse

[Steve Smith]

I'm not very up on Dexter, the show nor character but I have the general 
outline.  I often think that my awareness of lying (with words, actions, 
affect) as a *choice* put me on the edge between being a sociopath and 
being "far from it"...  had I felt that lying was a necessity or in some 
way ends/means justified I could easily have put whatever talents I 
might have for persuasion or misdirection in acutely 
anti/a/mis/dys-social modes.

Or maybe I do and am in denial...  and those who I haven't drawn into my 
web of lies simply don't see it either.  Being human is tricky...
