As is so frequently the case, The Star's Rick Salutin has written a thoughtful and original piece, this time on some of the factors involved in our increasingly dynamic resistance to traditional sources of authority. Thanks to the arrogance of the financial world, even after receiving massive taxpayer bailouts for their incompetence, coupled with the vast array of information afforded by the Internet, people now have a much greater opportunity to effectively challenge the status quo, as evidenced by the Arab Spring, the Occupy Movement, and even in the give-and-take of readers' forums on media sites.
It is an article that provides a framework for the changes we are seeing all around us.
Don't worry, I'm sure the new DSM V will have psychiatrists providing new diagnoses to these insane people so they can be drugged back to compliance. DSM IV has done a good job of it so far, but it seems there's still more work to be done and profit to be made.
