Dear friends, I'd like to share a podcast of an April platform address at BES titled "The War on Drugs -- Unintended Consequences" delivered by retired Baltimore City Police Major Neill Franklin:
http://bmorethical.org/Documents/Neill_Franklin_War_On_Drugs_20110403.mp3 http://bmorethical.org/Documents/Neill_Franklin_War_On_Drugs_20110403.ogg Maj. Franklin argues that the regulation and control of drugs offers a positive alternative to criminalization by decreasing incarceration rates and deaths due to overdoses and drug-related violence. This Sunday we are fortunate to have Fritz Williams, the society's ethical leader emeritus, present a platform address "Turbo Capitalism and Ethical Culture", followed by a workshop at 1:00 pm titled "Corporate Power Revisited". Here's a flyer that you can print out and share with your friends and neighbors: http://bmorethical.org/wp-content/uploads/2011/05/FritzMay8Flyer.pdf We'll be hosting a potluck lunch from 12 to 1. Please sign up to bring something. You can email me or write it in this Google Doc: https://docs.google.com/document/d/16aYSsBYMFXYPESf7GAQziC_TtHH79oN8erCaXu4t3YU/edit?hl=en&authkey=CIjJk98J Hope to see you there.
