[Peace] [Peace-discuss] 'Consistent ethic of life'

[bjornsona at ameritech.net]

Dear Carl: I just found this podcast: "Future Left" and thought you might find some of the topics and voices represented here interesting. Torie Bosch & Roy Scranton are on this  Nov. 17, 2017 edition discussing an anthology of stories they edited which imagines our future. It starts slow- gets much better halfway through.   I am a Roy Scranton fan since his essays were published in the NYT, and now collected in his short, frank, says-what-very-few-others-wiil-say book: Learning to Die in the Anthropocene. (Which possibly should have been titled Learning to Live in the Anthropocene!)

A number of our friends and colleagues on these lists seem to have been disturbed recently by my defense of what has been called a ‘consistent ethic of life’:

That reminds me, tangentially, of a dinner party we gave for our late friend Nat Hentoff in 1992: our dozen guests were all good liberals, but Nat and I were the only ones who said we wouldn't vote for Bill Clinton. I think we were right. —CGE
