Timing Our Choices for a Safer and Better Airport: Proceed Now, or Pause and Learn? A forum providing new and independent public information from Amory Lovins, Tom Keough, and Dick Arnold. Recorded 22 October 2020. Amory Lovins wishes to correct his references to the Board of County Commissioners meeting on “Thursday 16 October” 2020: it was on Friday 16 Oct. At 1:25:35, he also misspoke “500” when he meant “55"; at 1:37:13, he said “78” when he meant “78%”; and at 1:43:15, he said “non-construction” when he meant “non-airside”, since some of the projects involve landside construction while others don’t involve construction. Finally, on p 11, bottom bullet, line 6, and on p 12, top bullet, line 13, for “16 Oct” read “15 Sep.” Tom Keough, at 1:03:21, said “deHaviland” when he meant to say “deHaviland, Bombardier, and Canadair.” GrassRoots TV is the country’s first and oldest community cable television station.

This week on the summer series finale of The Local's Show host Erik Skarvan chats with Aspen local musician Dan Sheridan. This a a great one one folks! Here 's a little bit about Dan that is taken from his website http://www.dansheridanaspen.com When an artist truly has something to say, others easily recognize it. This is the case with the most recent collection of songs by Dan Sheridan on his new release, Recycle. Beyond the strong melodies and the effortless flow of words is a simple feeling that these songs may have always existed, and Sheridan's deft touch as a songwriter merely uncovered them. This is the magic of Sheridan's work, and what has made him one of today's most artistic singer-songwriters. Never resorting to shock value or falling back on time worn cliches, the beauty of Sheridan's work lies in the longing and detachment of his characters in these pastoral landscapes. And here are some of Dan's accomplishments: 2002 First Place Rocky Mountain Folk Festival Songwriter Showcase 2001 First Place Swallow Hill Songwriting Competition 1993 First Place Telluride Troubadour Contest Check him out all over the Roaring Fork Valley and if you're lucky maybe he'll swing by your neck of the woods, wherever you happen to be in this world. Again, his webpage is: http://www.dansheridanaspen.com The Local's Show and GrassRoots TV would like to thank the generous underwriters of this program.

In 2017 and 2018, as a part of a whistleblowing effort, James Lindsay, Peter Boghossian, and Helen Pluckrose wrote ideologically-driven, morally horrific papers and submitted them to leading peer-reviewed academic journals. Seven of these were published, and seven more were under review before their project was uncovered and subsequently revealed by the Wall Street Journal. The trio’s intention was to expose a kind of academic corruption (idea laundering) that puts radical social and political agendas ahead of scholarship and a dispassionate search for truth. Aspen attendees had the opportunity to hear from all three whistleblowers who discussed what, in their opinion, is going on behind the scenes in universities today, and how activist "scholarship" is making its way into many aspects of our increasingly fraught civic culture. They explained what they dubbed "grievance studies," described how certain university departments are indoctrinating college students into a perpetual "grievance" mindset, and illustrated how "applied postmodernism" seeks to "remake society."
