Northern Californiaâs now infamous Camp Fire was not only the largest, longest, and deadliest wildfire in the stateâs history, it also produced record amounts of smoke. Schools closed, there was a run on protective masks, and people were fashioning do-it-yourself air purifiers because there were none left in stores. And it looks like we will only see an acceleration of wildfires in the future. This grim forecast has brought a surge in traffic to websites that monitor air quality like AirNow, Weather Underground, and PurpleAir. This week on Sea Change Radio, we speak with the founder and CEO of PurpleAir, a company that sells laser air quality sensors for home use at a reasonable price, and posts all the results in real-time on its site. We discuss PurpleAirâs business model, its unique brand of crowd-sourcing technology, and examine the ways that it casts the world in a different, and sometimes frightening, light.

Plus: we discuss the gilets jaunes in France, a movement thatâs been widely reported as being anti-green taxes, but is in fact born from wider desperation for their âlet them eat cakeâ President Macron to reverse a series of policies that have worsened inequality in the country. We give Monsieur le President a lesson in how not to implement an environmental taxâ¦

In school we heard so much of the Federalist Papers. What of the Anti-Federalists, who were far more prolific - and prescient?
Eric reads from the book "The Anti-Federalists," edited by Bruce Frohnen, and forwarded by Joseph Sobran.
Cato, believed by many to be New York Governor George Clinton, a prominent Anti-Federalist, wrote letters that appeared in the New York Journal in late 1787 through early 1788. His pseudonym was borrowed from Marcus Portius Cato, a Roman statesman, speaker, and defender of the Roman Republic.
Cato's letters, although not considered by historians to be the most eloquently argued or logically presented Anti-Federalist missives, capture well the sentiments of those warning against the new Constitution.
Cato warns that that same Constitution will allow avarice to grow unchecked; that it will provide unbridled opportunities for the moneyed elites to deceive and subjugate the people. Cato avers that the gritty, painful struggle to loosen Britain's hold on the Colonies was very costly and should be prized.
In his brief Letter No. 1, Cato urges his fellow citizens to keep fresh their memories of their bloody conflict. He implores them to not hurry their decisions regarding a new government. He asks them: Will they act cautiously and ensure a safe and secure future for themselves?

Eric the Blacksmith discusses the Antifederalists in this first of a series.
How much do we know about the debate between the Federalist Founders and the Antifederalists? How did Rhode Island fare when it said No to adopting the Constitution?
Eric talks about his background and an email exchange.
He refers to the book, "Hologram of Liberty" by Kenneth Royce, and mentions researchers James Montgomery and The Informer.
George Carlin and Mark Twain are compared. Twain's "Elements of Satire" is reviewed. What is the nature of government? What did Christ teach about politics?
North Carolina, like Rhode Island, was resistant to the Constitution. Eric reads a powerful 28 January, 1788 poem "On The New Constitution" published in the State Gazette of South Carolina. The poem leveled serious charges against the Founders and their tactics.
What were some of the circumstances surrounding the Hamilton-Burr Duel? A scene from "The Way We Were" reminds us of today's political discourse.
The show concludes with a scene from "Life is Worth Losing" by George Carlin.

Summary: Summary: Health and life are man's most precious possessions; and anxiety to preserve them is natural. It is not surprising, therefore, that they have been exploited since time immemorial. Every age has had its charlatans, quacks and medicine men.
Much in the same measure as social organization has attained its highest pitch in the present era, the exploitation of health and life today has reached its zenith. Never before in history has there arisen such an extensive conspiracy about the problem of public health of entire nations, involving well-organized, opposing political and commercial groups.
The consequence of this welter of exploitation is the sacrifice of human comfort, happiness, health and life.
--Emanuel Josephson, 1941, "Your Life is Their Toy."
