We also talked about the Supreme Court's 6-3 decision to allow Indiana to force citizens to show photo ID before they can vote. We discussed whether or not I'd be able to vote in such a circumstance. We talked about the gay and lesbian sailors in the PBS mini-series documentary <cite>Carrier</cite> bravely speaking out about their presence in the U.S. Navy. We talked about a recent finding that human beings nearly went extinct about 70,000 years ago, and I speculated on why that might have happened. Pickles of the North talked about the burgeoning global food crisis that's causing food riots in some places and causing the price of food here to rise dramatically. We talked about Chaos Theory and it's inventor/discoverer who recently passed away. We lamented my digital camera dying and talked about the most recent WBAI LSB meeting. We read through almost all of the mail. http://archive.wbai.org/files/mp3/080428_010001mon1to3am.MP3 http://archive.wbai.org/files/mp3/080428_010001mon1to3am.MP3 Mon, 28 April 2008 05:00:01 GMT Carrier Wave Carrier Wave or Back of the Book http://archive.wbai.org/files/mp3/080421_010001mon1to3am.MP3 http://archive.wbai.org/files/mp3/080421_010001mon1to3am.MP3 Mon, 21 April 2008 05:00:01 GMT Back of the Book Carrier Wave or Back of the Book Of course we talked about the visit of Josef Ratzinger to New York City. We exhibited our disdain for all of the Abrahamic superstitions. We brought back a feature that we've done in the past where we go through a book of factiods from 1898, and compare and contrast the wisdom of the late 19^th Century to today. Pickles talked about the Earth's weather changing due to the Jet Streams migrating farther from the Equator; she also talked about the bumpy re-entry of the Soyuz spacecraft and the possible role that sexism played in that. We announced the good news about the WBAI elections being over (I got reelected again, but that wasn't the only good news). We also got through a lot of listener mail and we're almost caught up in that category. http://archive.wbai.org/files/mp3/080414_010001mon1to3am.MP3 http://archive.wbai.org/files/mp3/080414_010001mon1to3am.MP3 Mon, 14 April 2008 05:00:01 GMT Carrier Wave Carrier Wave or Back of the Book http://archive.wbai.org/files/mp3/080407_010002mon1to3am.MP3 http://archive.wbai.org/files/mp3/080407_010002mon1to3am.MP3 Mon, 07 April 2008 05:00:02 GMT Back of the Book Carrier Wave or Back of the Book We talked about Joey Ratzinger coming to town next week, and my experiences on previous occasions when Popes have visited New York City. I talked about my experiences on the afternoon when Martin Luther King Jr. was assassinated, and the terrible behavior of a drill sergeant on that day. Pickles of the North talked about some environmental issues, including the latest huge raft of sea ice breaking off from Antarctica. We laughed at a lawsuit brought by 2 guys who claim the CERN Large Hadron Collider will destroy the Earth and maybe the universe. I discussed black holes and the recent discovery of the smallest one ever. <strong><font color="#ff0000">Note:</font></strong> This archive is split between two entires and the first one starts an hour into the file.
