Policing and Incarceration in America: What's Broken and Where are the Solutions?
Former Seattle Chief of Police Norm Stamper and award-wining independent journalist Silja J. A. Talvi will be reading from their books (Breaking Rank and Women Behind Bars) on Thurs. 2/14/08, 5:30pm,Rainier Valley Cultural Center. (5117 Rainier Ave. S Seattle 98118). Suggested donation of $5 benefits the work of Real Change

Political fear: bringing us climate disaster, economic disaster, the Iraq mess, the theft of our civil liberties, the trampling of our Constitution, oh, and the destruction of lives, families, communities.

Political fear: we can't pin it on the elected officials. It's the American people as a whole.

This clip gets my vote for the best YouTube video of all time.
