Many of the great ideas in history had an ‘~ism’ in them: Buddhism, Marxism, Taoism, Creationism, Darwinism and more…

I think clubbing is a breeding ground for a sizeable chunk of society’s problems. And the people who get sucked into the clubbing culture are helping to spread the clubbing disease which is infecting more youths every year. My essay elucidates this potent cultural poison…
