We have an ax to grind today! R and N discuss the "housing crisis," why it is not really a "housing crisis" and instead is a crisis of capitalism. N discusses housing issues and the local Occupy City Hall in Bellingham. N and R eventually describe internal colonies in the United States, &nbsp;discuss a Chris Hedges clip and end with an excerpt from Franz Fanon's The Wretched of the Earth.&nbsp;
