Thank you, GUEST for initiating a thread on the ideas of Chris Hedges. I don't watch TV much but I do listen to radio and I recently listened to Chris Hedges on Alternative Radio.org He is a brilliant mind and a fine orator. I was unaware that such a voice of reason was ringing bright against the Christian fascist right. Chris's ideas seem to have been obscured here by a small minded argument about GUEST. Please, folkies, listen more carefully to Chris Hodges radio lectures.
