Bill Quigley: Hate in Arizona, Hope in Haiti
January 12, 2011"We in the U.S. have more people in jail than anywhere else in the world, we spend more on our military than the whole world combined, we have more guns, yet people somehow feel insecure," notes Bill Quigley of the culture in the U.S. Questions about guns aren't the only questi0n to be asked in the wake of the shooting of Gabrielle Giffords, Judge John Roll, and several others in Arizona this weekend. There are many questions to be asked, about priorities, motives, and more.Bill Quigley, Marie St. Cyr, and Caring

April 29, 2010When the WikiLeaks video hit, the video game comparisons came fast and furious, including on this show, where we looked at a report that video games might help overcome people's natural resistance to shooting at one another. Now the Supreme Court is going to look at whether the a ban on sale of violent video games to minors is constitutional. If they support the ban, it would be the first time that the obscenity rule has been applied to violent images rather than sexual ones.Ed Pilkington, Violent Video Games, and Oklahoma
April 28, 2010TV networks and bloggers alike got some mileage out of the comments in a Goldman Sachs email that an investment was a "sh*tty deal," but Ed Pilkington of the British newspaper The Guardian thinks it's about time that U.S. politics got a little rougher, say, how they've been in the U.K. for a while now. But an import from U.S. electoral politics--a televised debate between the three main candidates for Prime Minister--has shaken up politics in the U.K. and rocketed a former Nation magazine intern, Liberal Democrat candidate Nick Clegg, to fame.
