It can be very easy for people who have never professionally sat with people (and their families) who experience the devastation of mental illness to pontificate about its existence and treatment from an armchair.

Anyone being fair & impartial would welcome any challenge to their integrity, if not invite it.

Mistress Maxwell isn't the only dominatrix in the mix.

I've been wondering this about reporting on so called developing & 3rd world countries for years, let alone this perpetual shit show.

People also argue: “Look at the disagreement — surely that means no truths.” But deep disagreement also exists in physics, history, climate science. Truth does not vanish when humans argue; it only means truth can be hard to know.

Except perhaps if you keep falling on your face when you go for a walk.

Morality is a universal position.

Citizens 'Rights' are simply an exception to the position if it's any privilege to the contrary.

Ditto any cultural or religious practice found to be wanting.

To deny any person moral consideration is to deny your own humanity, let alone your primate family.
