[DemBones DemBones]

Dennis Kucinich, Al Sharpton, the Dalai Lama discuss ethics.

And PEACE! :hippie:


LINK TV "Television Without Borders" has some wonderful programs. I know not everyone can get LINK -- it's available on Direct TV and some other limited TV market -- check their site at http://www.linktv.org. Some programs are shown online but I don't see any note that this is. :-(

But you could check the site, which links to a place to download world music ("as heard on LINK TV") , some for free

If you can't get the channel, maybe you have a friend or neighbor who does?


Here's the blurb from LINK's newsletter:

SPEND AN EVENING WITH THE DALAI LAMA

On Sunday, 3/7 @ 5PM ET (2PM PT), Link TV will proudly
present "ETHICS AND THE WORLD CRISIS: A DIALOGUE WITH THE
DALAI LAMA", an exclusive documentary that captures key
highlights of an extraordinary day-long ethics conference
featuring the Dalai Lama in conversation with some of the
nation’s leading activists.

Link TV will present an encore performance later the same
evening at 11PM ET (8PM PT).

A co-production of Tibet House U.S. in New York, and Link
TV, the program brings together for the first time ever,
one of the world’s most important spiritual leaders with
renowned journalists, economists, environmentalists and
politicians to discuss the ethical dilemmas of the new
millennium.

The program shows highlights from four panels:

Ethics and the Environment (with David Crow, Randall Hayes, Paul
Hawken),

Ethics and the Media (with Amy Goodman, Katrina
vanden Heuvel, Susan Sarandon);

Ethics and Economics (with Ben Cohen, Amy Domini, Russell Simmons); and

Ethics and the Politics of Peace (with Dr. Helen Caldicott, Dennis Kucinich, and Rev. Al Sharpton). 

The discussions are intercut with interviews from the
panelists, who provide personal insights into their
impressions of the dialogue and what ethics means to them.

The program was filmed in September, 2003  at New York’s
Town Hall.

1. Locking (regretfully)

Rules to start discussion threads in the General Discussion forum.

1. If you start a thread in the General Discussion forum, you must present your opinion in a manner that is not inflammatory, which respects differences in opinion, and which is likely to lead to respectful discussion rather than flaming. Some examples of things which should generally be avoided are: unnecessarily hot rhetoric, nicknames for prominent Democrats or their supporters, broad-brush statements about groups of people, single-sentence "drive-by" thread topics, etc.

2. The subject line of a discussion thread must accurately reflect the actual content of the message.

3. The subject line of a discussion thread may not include profanity or swear words, even if words or letters are replaced by asterisks, dashes, or abbreviations.

4. The subject line and the entire text of the message which starts the thread may not include excessive capitalization, or excessive punctuation.

5. If you post an article or other published content which is from a conservative source or which expresses a traditionally conservative viewpoint, you must state your opinion about the piece and/or the issues it raises.

6. You may not start a new discussion thread in order to continue a current or recent flame war from another thread. The moderators have the authority to lock threads in order to contain flaming on a particular topic to only one thread at a time.

7. Discussion topics about the Democratic presidential primary are not permitted in the General Discussion forum, and instead must be posted in the General Discussion: 2004 Primary forum. Passing references to the Democratic primary candidates are permitted, provided that the overall topic of discussion is not directly related to the presidential primary or the primary candidates.

Thank you for your understanding and cooperation,
