[GPSCC-chat] Fwd: June 19 Humanist Forum: Cars and Capitalism

[Gerry Gras]

Forum about cars this Sunday at 11:00 AM.

I have not read the book yet, I am planning on
buying it at the forum.  But two people I know
have found it excellent / enjoyable.

In North America, human beings have become enthralled by the automobile:
A quarter of our working lives are spent paying for them; communities
fight each other for the right to build more of them; our cities have
been torn down, remade and planned with their needs as the overriding
concern; wars are fought to keep their fuel tanks filled; songs are
written to praise them; cathedrals are built to worship them. Yves
Engler and Bianca Mugyenyi will discuss their new book: Stop Signs: Cars
and Capitalism on the Road to Economic, Social and Ecological Decay. See
http://stopsigns.fairtrademedia.com
-----------
The following Sunday Bruce Boston will lead a discussion on "Personal
Morality and Group Ethics."
-----------
The Humanist Community Forum meets at 11am at our new location, Palo
Alto High School at the corner of El Camino and Embarcadero Rd. (50
Embarcadero Rd) in Palo Alto. The forum will be in the Student Center
and the family program in rm 1732 in the Science Bldg. Construction is
now going on at the high school so parking is restricted. A  map of the
campus is at http://www.humanists.org/PAHS1.htm .
