In this episode of the Blindspot, we range in topics from Arizona's SB 1070 to prospects for the mid-term elections in November and finally revisit the BP oil spill and the bigger implications for our environment and culture of a continuing addiction to oil.

Seeing Beneath The Surface

The Blindspot Mission Statement:

At Blindspot we plan to bring to our listeners a few of our thoughts on a variety of subjects, and always from the point of view of bringing to light things that are rarely considered.  We explore the cultural and social currents that are less popular, the music and film that is less known and the views that are less considered.  The things you may have missed.  

This is the Blindspot.

While unabashedly liberal, we take the approach of using reasoned, clear thinking, free of hype, sensationalism, or knee-jerk armchair liberalism.  We are progressive, and we know why we are.  We have firm views, but we’re not dogmatic.  We’re no comedians, but we’ve got a sense of humor.  We’re not cynics, but we’re hardly surprised by the influence that big money wields over our lives, shaping our supposedly democratic outcomes, distorting the forms of music, art, literature and film that we love.

We’re not rebels, but we’re going against the grain.  We’re older, but not old-fashioned.

We look forward to the future and our place in it.  We don’t know where it’s all going to lead, but we’re excited by the prospect of the trip itself.  We hope you feel something similar, but in your own way.  Join us for a brief, but fun, ride.
