I have become a big fan of Pinkerton as of late. Not only for his views described in this article, which are well-documented and refreshingly logical, but for his views on religion. A lot of my extended family will lament about the days news from time to time, reacting to the eye-catching headlines of death and destruction. Forwarding Pinkerton's book and this article tends to assuage these tendencies quite handedly. I definitely recommend this strategy to those who may relate to my family as well.
