No Illusions Live 12102010

For those of you who missed it live, here’s last night’s show (all two-and-a-half hours of it!). Some of the things we talked about:

  • Chrissy’s experience getting her Australian permanent visa
  • How America ended up in Vietnam
  • Daniel Ellsberg “The Most Dangerous Man In America”
  • The Russian Revolution
  • The USA deliberately infecting Guatelamalens with syphilis
  • Cam turning 40
  • Teaching classical music to kids and how it affects their brain development

Dawkins Speaks Out Against The Pope

[youtube http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=q_0kFU7IfPM&fs=1&hl=en_US]

An excellent speech from Richard Dawkins. He explains that the Hitler was a Catholic and a Christian, NOT an atheist as the Pope is trying to claim, and then delves into some of the other stupid ideas this Ratzinger Pope has.

If you consider yourself a Catholic, you should think hard about these issues and ask yourself if you want to be associated with a man and a church with this history behind them.

No Illusions #14 – Riding 4 A Cause

Today I chat with Rob James and Andrew Blanda – two guys who, with their mate Raz Chorev, are trying to do something to raise awareness of male depression.

What are they doing?

They will embark on their first major ride in September 2010, from Sydney to the Glen Helen Resort, NT, (joining Steve Andrews from the Black Dog Ride), in an Australia-wide initiative to educate the community about Male Depression.

Listen in as we chat about depression, something that one-in-five Australians suffers from at some point in their lives.
