    Defensive much? I just heard your reply to the criticism you received on the Republican “opinion“ peace you carried on the July 19 show.

    I listen to you for facts. Are you now becoming an opinion show?

    I don’t want to have to spend hours fact checking your show. I listen to your show for you to do the fact checking.

    Please don’t lose the credibility that this show has earned over the years by slipping into the “we’re just covering opinions.”

    One of the most beautiful and meaningful contributions I’ve heard from LOE. The essence of existence is the “interconnectedness and interdependence” of all things on earth - this incredible spaceship we inhabit. We can reimagine and power a different way of living. Whether we can overcome the forces of “modernity” that are leading us to self-destruction is an open question.
