We gotta take the power back!” “We'll settle for nothing now, and we'll settle for nothing later!” It all feels good, but it doesn't do good. I still love it with all my heart, but it's futile to scream at everyone to wake up, if you have no clue what they're supposed to do when they're woke. —Craig Jenkins Next week: Dr.&nbsp;David Gorski!
