    logo_olli2Sedona AZ (January 23, 2016) – The Osher Lifelong Learning Institute of Yavapai College presents National Issues Forums – a program that is free and open to the public.  The program begins on January 27th at 2:30pm in room 34 of the Yavapai College Sedona Center.

    National Issues Forums (NIF) is a nonpartisan, nationwide network of locally sponsored public forums for the consideration of public policy issues. It is rooted in the simple notion that people need to come together to reason and talk—to deliberate about common problems. These forums, organized by a variety of organizations, groups, and individuals, offer citizens the opportunity to join together to deliberate, to make choices with others about ways to approach difficult issues and to work toward creating reasoned public judgment.

    photo_andreahouchardAndrea Houchard will conduct four NIF forums on issues that have to do with our national economy:

    • America’s Future: What Should Our Budget Priorities Be? (January 27)
    • Social Security: How Can We Afford It? (February 3)
    • Health Care Costs? (February 10)
    • Economic Security (February 17)

    Community members are invited to come together to voice their views about these critical economic issues, and to learn what others in Sedona and surrounding communities think. Informational handouts about each of these issues will be available on the Philosophy in the Public Interest website one week prior to the forum at www.nau.edu/ppi.

    The Sad Lesson of Tyre Nichols
    By Tommy Acosta
    Having grown up in the mean streets of the Bronx there is one lesson we learn early on, and that’s don’t mess with the cops when they got you down, and outnumbered. The beating of Tyre Nichols at the hands of the police preceding his death at the hospital could have been avoided if only he had the sense to not resist them. People fail to understand that on the streets, cops are basically “God.” You can’t fight them. If it takes one, two, five, ten or twenty officers they will eventually put you down and hurt you if they have to in the process of detaining or arresting you. In the Bronx we would fight amongst ourselves but when the cops came it was “Yes, officer. No, officer,” and do our best to look as innocent as possible. People need to understand that cops on the street represent the full power of the state and government. Read more→
