Listen to billionaire businessman George Soros, America's biggest philanthropist, talk at the Commonwealth Club in California about the dangerous direction the US has taken, and why he has vowed to use his wealth and influence in helping to get the Bush administration removed from office.
The streaming audio is not online yet, but I expect it will be soon at
http://abc.net.au/rn/bigidea/
If you are in Australia and missed the broadcast tonight, it is repeated at 1pm on Tuesday 20th April on Radio National.
Broadcast time may be a little different for WA, Qld and regional NT, Darwin, and Newcastle & Hunter Valley -- check http://abc.net.au/rn/schedule/

Date: 2004-04-20 05:44 am (UTC)There are more smart people than ever before. The Flynn Effect and the information age have seen to it that intelligence and knowledge are at an all-time high... and yet... there is Bush (and in my country, Howard) and that phoney war... a fair chunk of Islam (and Christianity) seems to want to kill for the sake of an imaginary god... Israelis humiliate and kill the Palestinians and wonder why they send suicide bombers against them... the Palestinians bomb the Israelis and wonder why they are so unremittingly horrible to them... and there is "reality" TV...
I am at a bit of a loss to explain it all.
