Do you think drugs should be legal?  Tune in tonight at 6pm to hear Jack Cole, the executive director of LEAP (Law Enforcement Against Prohibition) for some provocative discussion on the subject.      Is sugar a drug?  Tune into Eco-Radio at noon tomorrow (Tuesday) as Reenie Carmack explores Sweet Death and looks at all the diseases caused by sugar.  There will be a town hall meeting on Wednesday night at St Thomas Moore Catholic Church to discuss health issues of people who had worked at the Kansas City Plant (aka Allied Signal aka Bendix)  Tom Klammer will be talking to former plant worker Maurice Copeland about this on Tell Somebody at 6pm on Tuesday.      If you're up early on Wednesday at 5, Pacifica Radio Archive' From the Vault series brings us its earliest recordings of Noam Chomsky from a 1968 Draft Resistance teach in held in New York City and recorded by Pacifica Station WBAI.  Noam Chomsky would continue to offer his opinion on many social and political issues since that first 1968 recording. Professor Chomsky's uncanny ability to trace the root causes and layered and nuanced underpinnings of a complicated subject made him a favorite analyst over the years for Pacifica Producers. Chomsky could exhaust a listener with detail and back information on topics that ranged from the Middle East issues to U.S. involvement in Latin America, to US Media as outlets for Propoganda.  In 1982 Noam Chomsky sat down with KPFA Berkeley host Phillip Maldari to make sense of the Camp David Peace Accords signed by Anwar Sadat of Egypt and Menachem Begin of Israel and witnessed by President Jimmy Carter.  In this March 1992 recording, Noam Chomsky participated in a Creeping Fascism Forum produced by Pacifica Station WBAI in New York.  And finally we'll here Noam Chomsky from his June 2009 Address commenting on what he feels is the greatest threat to Humans to date: Global Warming.  I'll be playing moe holiday music that morning as well as more music in reflect of the climate talks going on in Copenhagen.  At 7am, I'll welcome classical guitarist Chris Hudson in anticipation of his upcoming performance at the Kansas City Central Library  on December 19th.  Democracy Now will be broadcasting from the climate talks in Copenhagen, Wednesday and every day this week at 8am.  Did you catch the People's History special last night on the History Channel?  Author Howard Zinn will be on Alternative Radio at 9am discussing Three Holy Wars.  If you like last week's Electric Dialect on From Ark to Microchip, check out Phenomenological Telephone this Wednesday at 12:30pm.    On GRIT Radio on Thursday morning at 9am, Kansas City's own, Thomas Frank, author of What's the Matter with Kansas and The Wrecking Crew will be discussing the conservative effort to dismantle government.  On the Heartland Labor Forum at 6pm,Should CEO Pay Be Capped? and Revisiting the Greensboro Massacre: Could It Happen Again?  Then at 7pm, check out The Secret Map or If you Can' Have a Mellow Christmas, You Can at Least Have a Melodrama, an exciting, locally produced live radio play.
