 Support Science - VOTE for Change! #182 Tuesday January 31, 2006 | File Type: audio/mpeg | Duration: 00:14:08

Support Science and the free exchange of information! This year there are 33 Senate seats up for re-election. We need to give them all the boot, and institute some term limits because those entrusted to be our stand-ins are not doing their job. Our top Scientists are being threatened and censored, our liberties are under attack and these 'gentlemen and women' are patting each other on the back while our rights are being taken away.

 WAKE UP AMERICA! The Whitehouse is CENSORSING our Scientists! #181 Monday January 30, 2006 | File Type: audio/mpeg | Duration: 00:10:01

Dr. James E. Hansen, the Director of NASA's Goddard Institute for Space Studies in New York has been threatened and is being censored by the Bush Administration. He told a University of Iowa audience 'In my more than three decades in government, I have never seen anything approaching the degree to which information flow from scientists to the public has been screened and controlled as it is now.'

 Enron and the Bush Connection, it is a lot more involved than you think. #180 Wednesday January 25, 2006 | File Type: audio/mpeg | Duration: 00:11:18

George Bush both Junior and Senior have a very close friendship and many mutual business dealings with Enron and Kenneth Lay. Finally, after over 4 years, the Enron trial begins. It will either be a rude awakening to America of the extent of corruption in our government, or it will be swept under the rug by the enormouns money and power of the Bush Dynasty.

 Drones, Unmanned Ultra High Tech Remote Controlled Killing Devices #179 Tuesday January 24, 2006 | File Type: audio/mpeg | Duration: 00:16:29

Predator Drones, Global Hawks, X45A prototype unmanned Remote controlled devices that can take pictures, send them back to Langley Virginia and drop satellite guided bombs on targets. Sometimes we hit specific targets and sometimes there is what the DOD terms as Collateral Damage. That is an antiseptic way of saying we killed innocents. We are sending these drones around the world and really pissing people off. Countries around the world and their people are hating Americans because our administration is behaving really badly with their high tech toys.

 What did our Founding Fathers Seek? Freedom from King George. #177 Tuesday January 18, 2006 | File Type: audio/mpeg | Duration: 00:06:49

Three hundred years ago, the poet Matsuo Basho said Do not seek to follow in the footsteps of the men of old, seek what they sought. What did our Founding Fathers seek? Freedom from King George. Sound familiar? In 1776 our Declaration of Independence explained it like this. Whenever any Form of Government becomes destructive of these ends, it is the Right of the People to alter or to abolish it, and to institute new Government, laying its foundation on such principles and organizing its powers in such form, as to them shall seem most likely to effect their Safety and Happiness.

 What happened to the Fourth Amendment? #178 Monday January 23, 2006 | File Type: audio/mpeg | Duration: 00:10:04

Even though we have specific rights detailed by the Fourth Amendment of the Bill of Rights, this Administration thinks it is OK to eavesdrop on the American Public. The balance of power has become creepy and weird. The government has taken the position that with no meaningful judicial review any American citizen alleged to be an Enemy Combatant could be detained indefinitely without charges or council on the government's say so. First Yahoo, then Google and your international phone calls then your email and local phone calls. Where does it end?

 Ellen Johnson Sirleaf is elected President of Liberia! #176 Tuesday January 17, 2006 | File Type: audio/mpeg | Duration: 00:10:22

Ellen Johnson Sirleaf is the first woman elected President in an African Country! She replaces a brutal war-lord and offers new hope to Liberia and to the African continent. I believe that women will be the change that brings about a more peaceful world, and I am encouraged that even though the United States is lagging behind, other countries are moving forward in a progressive way. This is Wonderful News!

 Friday the 13th - Myth, Murder, Money, Magesty, the Pope and Women. #175 Friday January 13, 2006 | File Type: audio/mpeg | Duration: 00:23:25

Friday the Thirteenth myths include stories about Kings, Popes, Warrior Monks, The Crusades, Women, Spirituality, Worship, The Knights Templar and Ancient Cultures. Is it really an unlucky day? Twenty one million people in the us suffer from an irrational fear of Friday the Thirteenth causing an estimated loss of revenue to business of nearly nine hundred million dollars. It may be more unlucky for women than men.

 Personal Best...Are we getting that from the Senate or Judge Alito? #174 Thursday January 12, 2006 | File Type: audio/mpeg | Duration: 00:16:17

Doing your 'Personal Best' is so important. I am always amazed by how many people are willing to do an adequate job; not a good job, not a bad job just an adequate job. It is frustrating on a personal level but when I see it happening in our government I really get discouraged. We have entrusted our politicians with great power and great responsibility and in such matters as the confirmation of Judge Alito I expect one hundred and ten percent from our representatives!

 Global Connections, Us, Them and most importantly We! #173 Wednesday January 11, 2006 | File Type: audio/mpeg | Duration: 00:10:39

We are flying all over the world, the boundaries and boarders of continents and countries and waters and things are so muddy and smudged. People connect from all over the world. Cultures connect from all over the world. It is such a global community now that some of the dogma and the precepts and the customs and things that were so important at a certain time and a certain place are just so irrelevant today. They don't work now and we need to find a new way to understand and relate to one another.

 Global Connections, Us, Them and most importantly We #172 Tuesday January 10, 2006 | File Type: audio/mpeg | Duration: 00:13:07

Us vs. Them. racism, in all forms is such an ugly manifestation of fear. I often wonder how it became so ingrained in our societies. We all bleed, we all breath air, we all desire love. All over the world people talk about Us and Them as if somehow we are different. History books would have little to talk about if it were not for one group fighting another for the right to be right I guess. When will we get it that Us is Them, and we are all one.

 What is the big deal about Windmills? #171 Monday January 9, 2006 | File Type: audio/mpeg | Duration: 00:12:02

Wind is readily available, it's blowing around all the time, it doesn't hurt the environment and it's practically free. It's kind of a no brainer. The biggest problem is what these will do to our beautiful views. I love nature, I love the beach and I honestly think these wind farms are not that bad looking, not nearly as bad looking at the energy rates map...

 Wake Up Pretty Bird and Remember Who You Are! #170 Friday January 6, 2006 | File Type: audio/mpeg | Duration: 00:07:01

This country is full of "Pretty Birds", people who have been blessed with money and privilege. How is it that the idealistic baby boomers, the Woodstock Generation who once believed that we could make a difference have turned to lifestyles of vanity, excess and ego feeding? America spends 12 billion dollars a year on looking pretty while the world struggles with staying alive. What happened to us?

 Say Cheese! I Love my Digital Camera but where did all my pictures go? #169 Thursday January 5, 2006 | File Type: audio/mpeg | Duration: 00:08:28

I Love technology! I love everything about digital technology, and my digital camera. Over the years I have taken thousands of pictures. The only problem is...where are they? My priceless collection of photographs, the chronology of my family's story is hidden in files and folders with obscure, sometimes cryptic names.

 Haiti, a country built on freedom poor beyond belief. #168 Wednesday January 4, 2006 | File Type: audio/mpeg | Duration: 00:12:20

Haiti is a country built on freedom. Possibly the only country formed by the successful revolution of slaves. An amazing accomplishment yet the country is in shambles. Broken and poor beyond belief, eighty percent of the population lives on less than one dollar a day.
