Focusing on a radical change of course while in a sea of red, white, and blue,

Join ani and Lyn for a lively discussion of dissident thoughts in advance of the Fourth of July.  As the flags go up, and fireworks are bought, we thought it was an especially important time to think about hyper-patriotism, imperialism, and despotism.  What do you think of when you think of America?  Is it the physical country,  it's people, it's government, or a combination?  

We'll be discussing work by Howard Zinn, Mark Twain, and others. 

How are you coping with the swell of nationalism that grips our country every Independance Day?  

Call and let us know!  The studio line is (503) 231-8187
