Peter Seebach wrote a nice entry about value systems, and what happens when there is an impedance mismatch between two people. Hint: it generates indistinct buzzing noises.

It reads a lot like the definition of a sociopath.
“…”morals” are just buzzing sounds, to be disregarded while one focuses on meeting a sales quota.”
Sales quota? Maybe true in some cases. More to the point would be;
“…”Rights” and “Constitution” are just buzzing sounds, to be disregarded while one focuses on meeting a tax revenue goal or promoting the next item on the legislative agenda.”
(there’s a world of difference between “meeting a sales quota” through peaceable, voluntary exchange, and using the coercive power of government to advance your personal interests at the expense of others. But that, too, I suppose is a mere buzzing sound to most Americans)
