(SOAPBOX #65) - Cindy interviews ELaine Brower of World Can't Wait and Sustainable Orphanages for Haitian Youth, Matthis Chiroux of Iraq Vets Against the War, and Bobby Whittenberg of Under the Hood Cafe in Killeen, Tx. Cindy sez: "Hope you enjoy this week's show as I chat with Elaine, Matthis and Bobby about how to make a difference - one person at a time, if we have to." Today the latest Wikileaks revelation fades into ho-hum obscurity, accepted and passively ignored by what was once an anti-war community - back before our national empire's war crimes were enshrined by our Nobel Peace-Prize laureate, who became a progressive darling simply by virtue of NOT being George W. Bush. Of course, the murder of civilians hasn't stopped, the looting of our nation's wealth by corporate arms-merchants hasn't stopped, and the criminalization of dissent proceeds apace. But what do you want in a democracy, anyway? Come on folks: Democracy is what we have when the masters tell us what's right and we do it. Only fools would think it has something to do with what we the people want. Today's discussion examines the power of NO and how to say it.
