Is there any place free of bullying?

By Carolyn Currie - posted Thursday, 25 August 2011


Is it not time to enact laws to enforce freedom of speech and expression? Those who are bullies always pick a soft target such as women. This time bullying has eroded the wealth of nations and impoverished the poor even more, leading to civil disturbances. Let's put a stop to it now, by any mechanism possible.

We could start by examining the suppression of research findings in universities, which are meant to be the fount of all wisdom.

We must ensure promotion on merit, by demanding that external members be appointed to committees allocating funds and considering promotion. Then the public may start receiving advice that is truly unbiased and informed.

Perhaps then, bullying may be understood for what it really is: A means by inferior moral beings to secure power and wealth using the laws of the jungle.
