With help from many people we assembled a sampling of some of the items on the warrant this March. We hope you find this list helpful and we hope you will use this page to post a comment on specific items. Three big points:

  • If you post a comment, keep your subject to just one warrant article. You can post as many separate comments as you like; our goal is to keep the online discussion organized in the same way that a town meeting goes through warrant articles one at a time.
  • You can comment on any warrant article whether it is on this short list or not. The goal of this list is just to get the conversation started but you are free to draw attention to any item that you think is important.
  • If you post a comment, please give your full name at the bottom, just as you'd have to state your name at town meeting.

Overmedication Nation

By Laura Knoy on Thursday, February 21, 2008.

Author Charles Barber says that Americans obsessed with the quick fix are abusing antidepressant drugs more than ever - and he has the numbers to back his claim up. Psychotropic drugs from Ritalin to Prozac are now the number one category of dispensed medicine in the country, with the U.S. accounting for two-thirds of the global antidepressant market. We’ll explore how we got here, and the consequences of a nation on antidepressants.
