Huffduffed by iamdanw on December 23rd, 2009

The Kauia uprising against the SuperFerry - a "civilian" prototype for a fleet of high-speed shallow-water vessels sized to transport military vehicles, slicing through whale breeding grounds. Jerry Mander and Koohan Paik write about the collusion and deception, and how 1500 citizens and surfers took direct action to stop the oncoming colossus.

Includes the poem "A Message from Space" by William Stafford. Talks about the Portland multilingual orchestra, Pink Martini, and plays "Hang On Little Tomato" and "Song of the Black Swan." Mentions an antiwar video set to "Somewhere Over the Rainbow." Dedicates "We Walk the Same Line" from Everything But the Girl.

Thursdays, we focus on economics and community sovereignty, and the Sunday edition puts religion in bed with politics. m your host, Tereza Coraggio, broadcasting from Free Radio Santa Cruz.
