Some of the biggest men in the United States, in the field of commerce and manufacture, are afraid of somebody, are afraid of something.

Judge sentences Texas Salon Owner to jail and fines her because she refused to apologize for reopening. True. This is kind of the definition of Authoritarianism, what in Transactional Analysis would be called the Parent-Child dynamic.

This was originally posted for a small group of friends on Facebook, and I was unsure I would post it here. I do so now after some deliberation. I believe this is something that should be thought about on a broader scale, asking why we glorify ‘thugness’ – whether it was James Cagney during the …
