Last night I had built a number of child profiles for the recent TV series I had received. I checked the TV schedule, everything on that I would watch, I rather wait for it on dvd. So back to working on my db. That resulted in my buying 5 more soon to be released TV series. By then it was after 3 am, with all these changes, I needed to back up my db. I wasn't tired, so I turned the TV. The PBS station had discussion on consciousness. I had recently watched series of lectures on consciousness and I had read a book by one of interviewees. I found discussion so interesting that I googled the site. The episode playing was How Vast is the Universe.And I have been randomly watching various episodes and have yet to go to bed yet. The site is Closer to Truth.And an episode that this pertinent to this forum: 110 - Whatever Happened to Ethics & Civility?Many blame the feverish pace of modern society and the intensity and ferocity of competition for today's lack of morals and common courtesy. Yet, many more believe that society is impoverished without ethics and civility. Today's expert panelists discuss the waning ethics and civility in American society and debate what, if anything, can be done about it. Joining host Robert Kuhn are the founder and president of the Discovery Institute Bruce Chapman; Yale Law School student Saru Jayaraman; linguist John McWhorter; social architect Barbara Marx Hubbard; and theologian Richard Mouw. |
