We all have strength enough to endure the misfortunes of others.

Coming up on Tuesday, "Roving Spotlight" will cover a range - Ukraine saturation coverage, resource wars, Tariq Ali's book "Bush in Babylon" on the Middle East - particularly Iraq. There's also an extract by Christopher Hitchens, talking about the sins of the Catholic Church. Also the settlement of "New Italy". That's Tuesday noon-2pm, 2RSR 88.9FM and streaming onwww.radioskidrow.org I've released two previous shows - last week, with Nicky Danesh, talking about the Iranian protests and Rita Mac on surveilance capitalism and the broken promise of the internet. There's Ukraine. I'm disagreeing Peter on Danos' show who thinks the Russians will win. I incorporate a look at the history of NATO and the part of Lithuania. There's also bits on land valuation and a nod to EV utes. The week before, on the place of land in our society & economy, and the obstacles manufacturers put in the way of car repairs. Going way back to 2011, I wrote on how we were dealing with drugs. More recently, I spoke with Professor Alison Ritter about drug policy on a previous program. I've since discovered a film which develops a worthwhile view drug policy, Half a Million Steps from back in 2021.
