A Citizen's View: Essays on American Politics and Culture

"An often well-reasoned, if sometimes speculative, challenge to American political orthodoxy." Kirkus Review June 2021This book is an effort to bring some measure of conciliation, and common ground to the bitterly opposed camps of political opinion that currently divides the nation. These essays address the most contentious issues that face Americans with the aim of finding common ground to diminish the acrimony and personal vitriol that presently animates our national politics. The economy, energy policy, education, abortion, gun control, health care, and international relations are examined through a non-partisan viewpoint and carefully considered within the changing maelstrom of American politics and culture.This book also offers a different and promising approach to dealing with the ongoing scourge of opioid addiction that employs a proven and effective mode of therapy first used in Canada in the 1950s. This unconventional treatment was shown to be immensely successful in treating alcoholism with a very low rate of recidivism. The therapeutic agent that achieved a permanent success rate of seventy percent was LSD. This subject is controversial and bears a fresh new look at its proven potential to treat conditions like opioid and heroin addiction, PTSD, depression, rape trauma, and alcoholism. Lastly, this work looks at America and its place in the world and considers those historical precedents that brought America to its current position of prominence. These essays offer more hope and encouragement than criticism and provide tangible strategies for realizing a better future for our nation. Michael MckinneyRead more
