A European reader writes I think you’re partially wrong here. I don’t know if it’s the same in the US, but over here in the Netherlands, the golden calf is a symbol of blind greed (the […] With penetration, care and moral seriousness, Colby Cosh responds to Michael Fumento’s New Republic article attempting to debunk ADHD skepticism.
