on a Saturday night. Drinking and discussion had started slowly. In the first segment you can hear the discussion. Our guests are regular people, with different backgrounds, religious views, spirituality, etc. We have been really excited for these sessions, because one of the biggest topics that we hear about is on the topic of information access. Our guests in the RT session expressed concerns over the state of the world. Both guests are people that have contributed to The program from the beginning. Normally, we just throw ethical, philosophical, or spiritual scenarios at them randomly and dissect their brains in private. It is only fair, after months of being our social guinea pigs that we provide a forum for them to go on record about the few things. In this episode, Bam expresses his anger at the whole system, frustration at the lack of control, and struggles with the concept of personal responsibility over the state of the world. During our talk, it becomes apparent that part of the issue is a lack of trusted options. While we can all agree that spirituality is important to societal culture... the consensus with this group is that religion isn't required. Interestingly, church, in the basic, conservative sense, is falling put if favor. At the same time, statistics indicate that tarot and astrology is in the rise. If you're feeling kind of lost, dabbling with ideas but lacking community, contacts, and generally concerned over the direction that "things" are heading... then you're not alone. The bad news.... lots of people seem to be losing their faith... but this means that many of those same people are also scratching their heads and seeking solutions. Opportunities to try something new, or to test ideas of old?
