Shownotes Transcript

The enemy of the people, is the truth teller! We unearth the truths of Henrik Ibsen's classic 1882 play -- AN ENEMY OF THE PEOPLE -- to discover universal truths about the human condition. We cover up lies! We willfully poison the land! We blame the accuser! How did Ibsen know, 164 years ago, that today, we would be dealing with Fracking, and purposefully poisoned water supplies in Flint, Michigan -- and beyond -- as well as the Lakota Sioux Pipeline? Ibsen knew, because, he understood -- the compact majority of us -- meant stupid people would rule!
