    Because Word is not a page layout program.

    It’s a document program, so functions via the concepts of document management, not page layout.

    Go see the tools that publishing houses use. They’re page layout systems, not document systems.

    Sociopaths are everywhere - I suspect there’s a certain percentage born every year.

    Ghengis Khan for example. Napoleon, the leaders of the Chinese tribes that united China (memory is failing me on this one).

    I’m sure people can be taught this too, but to think the US has anywhere close to a monopoly on this is just bias. I’d venture that pretty much every politician above town level has some sociopathy in them, everywhere.

    Look at how the House of Lords came to be? Ya think the king wasn’t being a sociopath, and the landed gentry were only protecting the interests of everyone who want king when they essentially blackmailed the king into agreeing with the Magna Carta (yet more sociopathy)?

    Only someone lacking in empathy can make decisions that are major no-win, all the time. Not saying I agree with them, just I don’t see how one could survive if one’s empathy is developed, at all.

    Sociopathy may be exception among the population as a whole, but clearly it exists pre-socialzation (I have a family member who was diagnosed as a kid), and it certainly has been a mainstay of leaders since the beginning of humanity

    They only disagreement I have is they don’t get together and agree on how to fuck everyone over(and I’d called it sociopathy):

    1. They don’t need to

    2. They’re sociopaths, they see the other sociopaths the same way as they see everyone else
