Featured Articles & Commentaries

The last 21 months we've become all too familiar with COVID-19 and the consequences of governmental responses around the world, from the local level to the national level.

The following article, reviewing the latest book by world-renowned psychiatrist Dr. Peter Breggin, challenges us to think long and hard about what's really going on here.

A key point Breggin states - “We can’t bear to think that there are people out to harm us, and manipulate us. We can’t bear to think there are people different from us—people who actually take pleasure in injury and domination—literally pleasure from it, the way we might [take pleasure] from a hug.”

The article is a bit long - it may stretch your thinking, it may reaffirm what you've already suspected. But it will make you take pause.

“I do not believe that the solution to our problem is simply to elect the right people. The important thing is to establish a political climate of opinion which will make it politically profitable for the wrong people to do the right thing. Unless it is politically profitable for the wrong people to do the right thing, the right people will not do the right thing either, or if they try, they will shortly be out of office.” - Milton Friedman
