Psychiatric Medications Provide Relief for "Normal" Americans

Brain Candy for the Caffeine Culture

In fall 2003, I had the privilege of attending a course taught by Dr. Reginald Ray, a Buddhist scholar of some renown and notoriety, and the author of several books on Buddhism. Dr. Ray teaches at Boulder Colorado's Naropa University, a small, Buddhist-based liberal arts college that recently gained accreditation and an aura of prestige and exclusivity. Dr. Ray was no wild-haired revolutionary sixties throwback, in fact he was modestly conservative in his dress manner and grooming, as is customary in his circles. After two or three classes with him however, it became clear to me that his radicalism often exceeded my own, and that his social critiques were often harsh and blunt when directed at the American mainstream.
