    logo_leagueofwomenvotersSedona AZ (July 29, 2017) – So what’s the problem with Alternative Facts? According to philosopher Andrea Christelle, featured speaker at the League of Women Voters Philosophy and Politics Series on August 3, “Alternative Facts” has been a buzzword, (or maybe a “bristleword”) since Kelly Ann Conway used the phrase to describe former Press Secretary Sean Spicer’s report about the size of the crowd at Trump’s inauguration. The idea that there could be such a thing as “alternative facts,” has been widely dismissed. However, this program will explore the plausibility of “alternative facts,” and actually give a charitable account of them. The group will also be invited to think about the distinctions between alternative facts, errors, fibs, and lies. The group will engage in a dialogue to be more precise about just what Conway was doing, and why “alternative facts” caused such an acrimonious fuss all around the world.

    20170729_andrea-hikingThe presentation and discussion will take place at Yavapai College, 4215 Arts Village Dr, Sedona, on Thursday, August 3, 6-7:30PM. The program is free and open to the public and is a partnership with the Osher Lifelong Learning Institute.

    It Takes a Lifetime and Sometimes Even More

    By Amaya  Gayle

    Sedona, AZ — It takes a lifetime (perhaps lifetimes) of stretching and expanding, ripping and tearing, just to move through one’s predispositions, to meet one’s inbred resistance and evolve to the grace of simple tolerance. During this precious part of the journey, it feels like you are taking the steps, are choosing right, left or straight ahead, that you are in the game.
