Covered and Bound

Today on "Covered and Bound" we continued the lecture "Reefer Madness" by Eric Schlosser, this was after we paid a small musical tribute to Canadian Jazz GREAT Oscar Peterson. We discussed Family Literacy Day being sponsored by ABC Canada and we discussed our book for the Month, "The Road of Excess." It is a literary study of Writers on Drugs by Professor Marcus Boon of York University. We, Jacky and I liked that Eric Schlosser ended his lecture on a religious note, we all have a responsibility, regardless of faith to help those who need it. Eric Schlosser is trying to bring awareness to the plight of the immigrant workers in America whom are mostly Mexicans, and he tells us that they are treated no better than the slaves were. They are just that, modern day slaves as fellow human beings there is a responsibility that we all have to help the poor, no matter what faith we profess.
