	An Enemy of the People - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		An Enemy of the People (original Norwegian title: En folkefiende) is a 1882 play written by Norwegian playwright Henrik Ibsen.
		An Enemy of the People addresses the irrational tendencies of the masses, and the hypocritical and corrupt nature of the political system that they support.
		He is taunted and denounced as a lunatic, an "Enemy of the People." In a scathing rebuke of both the Victorian notion of community and the principles of democracy, Dr. Stockmann proclaims that in matters of right and wrong, the individual is superior to the multitude, who are easily led by self-advancing demagogues.

		Similarly, in An Enemy of the People, we learn about Dr. Stockmann's earlier investigations into the problems of the water contamination, his indebtedness to his brother for his job, and the dangerous and virtually criminal cutting of corners that occurred when the town's therapeutic spa was built.
		In An Enemy of the People the symbols are the town spa, the toxic wastes from the nearby tanneries, and the concepts of public opinion and the popular majority.
		Thus in An Enemy of the People his principal variations are his emphasis on the characterizations of the Stockmann brothers and also his introduction of three sets of villains confronting Dr. Stockmann in the fifth act (the Mayor, Morten Kiil, and Hovstad and Billing).

		I didn’t know Enemy was an adaptation of a play until I started watching it, but right away--once the opening credits ended--I knew.
		An Enemy of the People is a fairly standard adaptation and, like most adaptations, its problems stem from not going cinematic enough.
		I’m sure An Enemy of the People is a pretty good play--it certainly seems like it from the film--but I expect filmic adaptations of plays to make me consider a stage production irrelevant.

		Credible information confirming the culpability of an elected official would be presented, and frequently corroborated by documentary evidence (such as the May 4, 2004 e-mail detailing the meeting with Jeb), and yet the party faithful would stand by their man out of blind partisanship, at grievous cost to political comity and therefore our democracatic processes.
		Cynical is proposing an amendment to the constitution to ban gay marriage, in full knowledge that it cannot pass, dividing the nation with a vulgar and meretricious appeal to prejudice for nothing more than partisan political gain.

		Truly, Dr. Stockmann is an idealist; else he would not place so much faith in the staff of the People's Messenger, who love the people so well that they constantly feed them with high-sounding phrases of democratic principles and of the noble function of the press, while they pilfer their pockets.
		It is all about a supernatural power that looks after the so-called good people here on earth, and turns all things to their advantage at last, and all the bad people are punished.
		Therefore the People's Messenger drops the "greatest man" in town when it learns that the Burgomaster and the influential citizens are determined that the truth shall be silenced.

		Thomas Paine, the great writer and pamphleteer of the American Revolution, once said that "the honesty of the press is as great an object to society as the freedom of it." Today in this country we have freedom of the press but very little "honesty of the press" when it comes to the mainstream media.
		It is beyond dispute that the mainstream media is controlled almost entirely by liberals and that what passes for news is presented as though it is objective reporting while it is, in fact, infected with liberal bias throughout.
		Some will no doubt argue that to call the mainstream media the enemy of the people is a gross exaggeration.
