LCROSS Mission Special or "A Missile to the Moon?!"

Here is a special program for September 11th, 2009, discussing NASA mission, "LCROSS", produced by Sean Ongley and Kelly Slusher. The panel features psychologist and author, Allison Bradley, plus artist and activist, Jarret Mitchell. Kaia Wilson joined us with an original protest song, plus controversial writer, Alfred Webre joined us at the end of the program for some unusual perspectives.

Many topics of concern are introduced, including international space law, physics, politics, the psychology of human expansion, technology, and spirituality. 

With one hour it seemed that the ideas behind this were only touched and not delved in to. If you are interested in a follow up program, please email amnews@kboo.org.

RE: Youth Domestic Violence

One big factor in domestic violence is our culture of militarism. The US military devotes huge sums marketing militarism to youth. Their root assumption is that violence is the ultimate problem solver. Once recruited, youth are taught specific violent techniques. Statistics show that domestic violence is worse in areas that have military bases.

One solution to this violence is tax resistance. Refuse to pay federal taxes until military spending is dramatically cut.
