George Lakoff. If you can get your hands on the DVD
"How Democrats and Progressives Can Win: Solutions from George Lakoff" try to see it.

You have to set aside Republican control of voting and counting mechanisms, but he makes excellent points about language and argument frames.

1. This is also broadcast rather regularly on Free Speech TV.
(#9415 on DISH satellite).

I watched it, and got quite a bit out of it.

2. I have just discovered my Dish
'under the local stations listings' & am pleasantly surprised to find Amy Goodman & a few other progressive treats.

Thanks! I'll look for it.

3. You'll love FSTV (9415) and LinkTV (9410)
also check out UCTV (9412) they will have some speeches, lectures or symposiums that are extremely enlightening. I'd recommend the Robert Reich speech and anything Jared Diamond speaks on.

6. Yes ..
I saw those two, and I saw Robert Kennedy Jr. on #9412.

I really enjoy having those channels beside each other.

I think that someone here had to tell me about it also.

7. Also read "Don't Think of an Elephant" by Lakoff...
...easy to read, about $10, and totally enlightening.
