"The first time I went to Haiti, I organized myself into a situation in the countryside where nobody spoke English. It seemed straightforward enough. Somehow I must have been thinking that after a week or two of immersion, I would turn into a chatterbox. ... "

Wrap-up of the past weeks news with Geov Parrish and Maria Tomchick of Eat the State!
July 29, 2012, 9:27 a.m.
They say that opinions are like assholes, and everybody's got one-- well, tonight's got more bloated sphincters than the slideshow at a proctologists' convention! It's the "Preachy Assholes" show, featuring a numbing parade of opinionated asswipes who rave on and on about things that inflamed their rant gland. We'll explore:
Burned-out teevee actors who recorded mawkish pseudo-patriotic/family/ religious shit! The bizarre and numerous rabidly pro-American CANADIAN loons and their immensive body of works--all of them involving the Ur- rant, Canadian Gordon Sinclair's "The Americans"! Skillful parodies of classic opinionated-asshole rants! Hell, even *I* got inspired to do my own foam-flecked, crazy-eyed manifesto of what it means to be an American!
NOTE: I like to fix up the vinyl when I do a show, but these poor records have been through the mill--many of them were abused 45s, and the albums look like they were owned by bitter drunks. (I can tell by the wear.) I spent hours working on the Gabe Kaplan piece alone--then I realized, Screw it. This stuff is meant to be painful--heck, i should put MOAR SKIPS in it!

Hydro power and indigenous rights
July 29, 2012, 8:45 a.m.
The Manitoba government is building new hydroelectricity projects on First Nations territories. The government has promised to conduct fair consultations and involve First Nations as partners.

respond to them.

Three contrasting pieces this week which all hint at the inadequacy of limiting self as the skin-encapsulated ego. Firstly, Ethan Watters on socially defined aspects of madness, including how Glaxo Smith Kline aggressively globalized Western ideas of depression in Japan. Next, I summarize Steve Talbott's essay on problems of the 'man as machine' metaphor. Finally, an hour on Peace Pilgrim, whose 'retirement project' was to walk across USA for over 25 years without using money or asking for food or shelter.
July 29, 2012, 12:40 a.m.
I start my third year this week with an unusually open ended love-it-or-hate-it next episode in the 'Flight From Meaning' series, centered on an essay by philosopher Steve Talbott on how biologists contrive to study life itself as if it were merely a lifeless mechanism. We also hear from Jane Goodall about chimpanzee society and read some of Underground History of American Education on John Taylor Gatto's boyhood.
July 29, 2012, 12:36 a.m.
Although in the 'Flight From Meaning' series, a rather traditional show concludes my second year of making Unwelcome Guests. First, a regular speaker, Alfie Kohn, speaking on why he believes that any competition is too much. We conclude with the end of chapter 9 of David Graeber's Debt, The First 5000 Years, on the introduction of coinage in India, Greece and China.
July 29, 2012, 12:32 a.m.
The first of a two part series, we consider the bigger question of meaning in life. In our first hour we look at a prejudice shared by many people of differing backgrounds and inclinations - the notion that human beings are somehow innately superior to all other life forms - with a radio adaption of the 2012 film The Superior Human. We conclude our second hour by resuming reading from David Graeber's Debt, The First 5000 Years where we left off in episode 597.
