$70 ($60 Jung Center members)
Limit: 15 In this class we will discuss the critical issues of our age - the shadows of consumption and exploitation undergirding modern industrial civilization.  Derrick Jensen's enlightening tour-de-force, The Culture of Make Believe, examines the cultural and psychological roots of racism, slavery, colonialism, the indigenous holocaust, and modernity's compulsion for environmental destruction.  His writing is said to break your heart, then heal it.  His page-turning prose, provocative arguments, and compassionate solutions for an ecopsychology of sustainable living will drive our discussion and thinking.  In the final week, we will have a conference call with the author to pose our questions, comments, and concern for the future.

Virginia Tech Gunman Left Note, Ismail Ax written on arm.

Interesting article. 

It's easy to link this with Columbine. I find it interesting that the words Ismail Ax was written on his arm. The press is saying it's linked to a Islamic belief. Kind of down playing it's part in the Judaism.
