IMAGINATION. Interweaving culture, science, technology, and history, Franklin shows how and why the American pursuit of the ultimate defensive weapon—guaranteed to end all war and bring universal triumph to American ideals—has led our nation and the world into an epoch of terror and endless war.

The Rape or Sexual Assault of One of Every Three Women Who Enter Military Service; the Cover-up, and a Congress and Mainstream Media Who Don't Give a Damn. A note of caution: The show will discuss some horrific examples of military rape and grotesque murder in investigative detail, to illustrate the kind of brutal and obvious tactics the perpetrators have gone to cover their tracks, with the arrogant impunity of only those who are certain they will not be investigated.

Equal Time for Freethought
A Victory for Vengeance? America’s Methods of Domination; Part 1
For more than 30 years now, the United States has taken a turn to the Right in how we organize our society. Prison populations have skyrocketed, prison sentences and anti-crime laws are draconian, torture has been used at home and abroad in the name of security, and the state has tightened its noose around those of us not in the upper classes… especially non-whites and the poor. Why has this occurred? What role has the rise in political Christianity played in the push for far right policies? Are there underlying reasons for this sad state of affairs beyond religion and the conservative politics of the Reagan/Bush era that are not even being talked about? And what can we do to make America more democratic, egalitarian and humanistic? | Sunday, August 3, 2008 6:30 pm Public Affairs |
