A Conversation Worth Listening To

I found this Bill Moyers Journal on YouTube, featuring author Henry Gioux talking about his book Zombie Politics and Culture in the Age of Casino Capitalism. Giroux tells it like it is, and I agree with his take on what we've become as a nation. This video is long (43 min.) but well worth it. You'll quickly get the gist in the first few minutes. Important stuff.

I suspect the book is really worth a read. Check it out on Amazon.

About the American Human

The American Human is written by Calvin Ross, a retired teacher who at various points in life has been a musician, woodworker, restaurateur, narrator, English teacher in Japan, novelist, technology journalist, and private tutor to Japanese children here in the U.S.

Happily residing in the wine country of Sonoma County north of San Francisco, Calvin has lived in the Philippines, the Netherlands, and the aforementioned Japan, as well as in Chicago, Colorado, Georgia, and many different towns in California, including, of all places, the Mojave Desert.

Calvin, you may note quickly, is a liberal progressive who doesn't think being called a socialist is all that bad, especially since he sort of would like living in Denmark if it weren't so cold. He blogs because he can.
