Topics of discussion include freedom of speech and expression and the suppression thereof, particularly on college campuses; prisons, treatment of prisoners, the perceived rising crime rate, and the use of police forces as tools of oppression and/or repression; the Arizona branch of the ACLU, including how they decide what cases to take, which cases they are currently working on, and public perception of the ACLU’s effectiveness; social movements in the United States and the need for mass movements to counter injustice and authoritarianism; the Morris Starsky case; the Vietnam War; and the freedom, intimidation, and manipulation of the press.
