Many of them have no idea what they are reading. They are just reading words. They have no meaning. It's embarrassing.

Reading the Constitution? I would have thought every one of them would have done that before they ran for Congress?

11. Yeah, it's across the board. Some are excellent, but many leave a lot to
be desired. This countries difficulties could be worked on aggressively and fixed, but many in congress are in the way of meaningful solutions.

14. This is why they read it like words

Hare conducted a case study involving a man named Al who had 46 criminal convictions. This study appeared as a PBS documentary in 2007. The experiment used a language test that involved a listening device. The study sought to determine whether abnormalities in brain processing are present in individuals with antisocial personality disorder. Results from the experiment revealed language to be processed in both of Al's brain hemispheres, as opposed to the left-brain processing inherent in individuals who don't have this condition. A second experiment with Al sought to explain the robotic emotional expression that appear in individuals with sociopathic characteristics. Emotional response recording showed no change in response when Al was shown emotional words versus being shown neutral words. Hare associates the sociopath's apparent lack of fear with his tendency toward insensitivity, as well as with an inability to learn from experience.
