Patrick Stewart was not my favorite Star Trek captain, but he is beyond any doubt the best actor of the group. In the video below, you’ll see a series of clips about torture and what it does to the brain. This is embedded in some news clips about real life torture. I’d just like to throw out an additional idea for you to think about as you watch this. Domestic violence is torture. Everything that is sad about torture in war time also applies to the victims of DV. Remember this clip before you judge. Happy birthday, Patrick Stewart, and thank you to you and STNG for bringing this information about torture and abuse to light.
