What Alcoholics, Democratic Leaders & Catholic Hierarchy Have in Common\
The ability to accept reality is fading in the US. Freedom is failing as minorities insist on their rights like a piece of pie from the middle. “A house divided against itself cannot stand”, Abraham Lincoln.
As a young medical intern 50 years ago, I had a patient in the emergency room who had succumbed to the stresses of running a half-way house for alcoholics. As he mended, I went to an Alcoholic Anonymous meeting with him and appreciated two pamphlets I was given: “Alcoholism is a Merry-Go-Round Named Denial,” and “How to Help an Alcoholic Who Insists He Doesn’t Need Any Help.”
