Yes, we did what Howard Dean, John Edwards, Dennis Kucinich, Thom Hartmann  and this fall, Barack Obama, told us to do.  We got off the couch and got active.  Back in 2004, We went out and got ourselves three hours of alternative independent very lefty labor oriented talk radio on the same channel as Rush and Sean.  In our area we have 63 hours of right wing Ayn Rand loving talk radio to our 3 hours.

Each week on "Democracy's Edge" (named after Francis Moore Lappe's book by the same name) the Feral Cats of Freedom with co-hosts Diane and Dave call on their listeners to help them cough up fur balls of truth from the baloney that we've all digested throughout the week from the Fat Cat News, the Corpulent Corporate Press and the Bloviators of Blather. 

We have had on voices that were in the wilderness but now seem to be getting heard.  We had on Dean Baker almost 2 years ago.  We've had Glen Ford (blackagendareport.com) on a year ago telling us about the 150 trillion "mother of all bubbles" caused by "the banksters."   Francis Moore Lappe, Sam Pizzigati, Ari Berman and Katha Pollitt of "The Nation", Melvin Goodman "Failure of Intelligence" , Rick Perlstein "Nixonland",  General Robert Gard, NY Times Foreign Correspondent Stephen Kinzer, Harvey Wasserman, Stephen Zunes.

This week we've asked Stephen Zarlenga of the American Monetary Institute return to talk about the "lost science of money".
"Should there be such thing as a moral economy or moral and just money?"  He thinks so.  How do we get there?  One of the ways is to take back control of our money.  As Dennis Kucinich said "The Federal Reserve is about as federal as Federal Express."  Dennis continued and quoted Stephen last week on the floor of the house.

We'll discuss the difference between money and debt.  Is money a commodity and therefore a creature of merchants and bankers?  Or is it an abstract social institution embodied by law- a legal institution and therefore a creature of governments?  Are people capable of governing themselves and their own needs or do they need to be ruled by authority or elites.
"Aristocrats or democrats?", said Thomas Jefferson of the choice  that always happens in who should be the "deciders". 

Last time Stephen debunked the idea that the Continental dollars circulated during our Revolution did not work.  They did until the British started to counterfeit them. 

Stephen speaks in a very down to earth way about this seemingly complicated mess of money.  It's not really complicated.  The banksters just want to makeit seem that way.

Join us every Saturday from 2-5PM Mountain Time (2 hours earlier than in New York City and one hour ahead of California).  Stephen will be on at 3PM Mountain Time; 4PM Chicago time and 5PM East Coast Time).  You can live stream at  http://www.kmmsam.com

This week's book of the week is "Unjust Deserts" by Gar Alperovitz and Lew Daly. 
This week's quotes of the week are:
"It ain't what you don't know that gets you into trouble. It's what you
know for sure that just ain't so."
-Mark Twain
In the beginner's mind there are many possibilities, in the expert's mind there are few. In order to study Zen, one must preserve their "beginner's mind".

Yes there's a lot of misinformation out there regarding health care reform, our banking system, foreign policy, and labor unions.  These are some of the topics we discuss every week as we try and root out the truth.
Warning:  Gallatin  and Park County, Montana like most of Montana is a pretty conservative place with a good helping of Libertarian.  So our callers veer right.  Always a challenge.
