Gabor Mate has devoted great effort towards his ulterior motive which is to browbeat the world community into actively being co-dependents of addicts. Not only is all of humanity to refrain from being intolerant of addicts but all are to elevate substance abusers to the realm beyond ordinary human inadequacies. All are to willingly adopt the role of enabler to addicts. Of course, Mate's abundant wealth depends upon a continuing supply of addicts. How else would he spend $8000 per month on compact discs? This book should not only be read by all, it should be taught as a special socio-political studies course to teenaged children. This would enable them to learn how propaganda is constructed upon a few facts, some partial truths, and numerous beliefs, myths and biases, all strung together by faulty analysis which results in conclusions that bear of hallmark of self-righteousness and self-serving preaching, with a complete whitewash of truth.
