The growing division between those who support tyranny and those who defy it is becoming very clear. But we seldom stop to ask the question of why people embrace these viewpoints.

If you find yourself feeling demoralized lately, you are certainly not alone. The way out of this swamp of demoralization starts with reclaiming your own life. Allan Stevo has some excellent advice on how to separate yourself from the things that are demoralizing you. 

Medical workers who question or defy the official Covid-19 orthodoxy do so at considerable personal risk. But is medical care really a one-size-fits-all proposition? Barry Brownstein's lastest essay is a gem. He reminds us that good medicine requires second opinions.
