25 SepAmerican Fascists: The Christian Right and the War on America
Chris Hedges
Monday, September 25, 2006 at 7:30 PMDue to the overwhelming response for this event, Mr. Hedges will repeat his lecture at 8:45 pm tonight.
One of the main points about this appearance was the fact that it was so well attended. The space holds roughly 200 people when setup for a lecture. The response to this lecture was totally unexpected. At the last minute, late this afternoon, upon hearing that the event was sold out, Chris volunteered to repeat his lecture for the benefit of a second audience. Ultimately, roughly 300 – 350 attended the two lectures. lasarina and I attended both.
Some phrases seem to be universally meaningful
25 Sep“We have met the enemy and he is us.”
lasarina stumbled upon a reference to Pogo and the famous poster by Walt Kelley today. The phrase entered the American lexicon as a result of that 1970 Earth Day poster. It applies in so many other ways now though. Global warming, erosion of civil rights, loss of species and habitat, inadequate medical care system, sanctioned torture. In so many ways, we truly are our own worst enemies. We want to blame our government, but too soon we forget that we are that government.
