Prager 20110321 -1 Disaster Averted
Prager H1: The worse fears about the nuclear power plant disaster in Japan appear to have been averted. What’s the mission in Libya? Does anybody know? Who’s in charge?
Prager H1: The worse fears about the nuclear power plant disaster in Japan appear to have been averted. What’s the mission in Libya? Does anybody know? Who’s in charge?
Prager H2: The Arab League which begged us to intervene is now unhappy we’ve intervened. Are we going to depose Kaddafi? Let him stick around? This confusion can’t be helpful to anyone.
Prager H3: Dennis talks to Max Boot, senior fellow at the Council for Foreign Relations about the Libya situation. Why do mothers (and fathers) let their daughters leave the house dressed like that?.. Hit seventy, get sick and you’re pretty much on your own in the UK. Here’s a possible solution in the US — let the states take care of the problem and find their own fixes.
Prager H1: Even after the Arab states called for intervention in Libya, Pres. Obama still would not intervene. Now that Kaddafi fears military intervention he has begun talking about a cease fire. Dennis also discusses the radiation threat from Japan, and the “Bullying” summit at the White House; why is the federal government involved stopping school bullies?
Prager H2: A new study says the experience of pleasure or positive feeling is far less important to long term happiness than engaging in meaningful activity. Dennis could have saved them the money; he wrote a whole chapter called “Fun v Happiness” in his happiness book.
Prager H3: Per usual, callers set the agenda. Issues raised include: do you think Willie Mays was the best baseball player of all time; a caller from Japan asks why doesn’t the Left find anti-Jewish rhetoric in the Muslim world appalling; do you feel that most people are selfish; do you like what you are good at, or are you good at what like doing; do you think that God punishes one for the sins of their father.
Prager H2: Dennis talks to James Mahaffey, former senior research scientist at the Georgia Tech Research Institute about the situation at Japan’s endangered nuclear plant. There has rightly been a great deal of attention placed on the potential nuclear disaster, something which may or may not happen, but let’s not forget about the real disaster – the death and suffering of thousands of people.
Prager H3: The Left has even ruined our washing machines. Obama’s high speed rail schemes would be laughable if it didn’t cost billions of taxpayer money…
Prager H1: Have we been getting the best information from Japanese government regarding their endangered nuke plant? US officials suggest that we haven’t. Is there such a thing as “internationalism” or is there just the US intervening where and when it feels necessary? Do want to wait for the UN to give us permission to enter conflicts?
