Yesterday was earth day and today women marched in Washington DC to protest the right wing government's attempt to roll back hard won gains under law. This election season, pollsters ask voters which issue they consider of top importance: the economy, the war, the environment and so on. But the degradation of our bioshpere, a economy of " haves" and "have nots" and resource wars under the guise of high flow ideologies or bogus threats are are part and parcel of a civilization based on hierarchy and commodification. Our featured dpeaker tonight environmentalist and author Derrick Jensen argues that this "civilization" cannot save the envronment or itself, and must be brought down. Also on our program tonight, we conclude our readings from the book Discplined Minds by Jeff Schmidt...but first a brief report from Isreal and Palestine from Grace Ritterr , an Iithaca resident with a peace delegation that was present for the releace of Israeli anti-nuclear activist and whistleblower Mordecai Vanunnu earlier the week.
