Radical Moral Reform

Our guest on this program was Patrick Newman, longtime Chico activist, a frequent contributor to the letters page of our local papers, and a man dedicated to solving homeless issues in Chico in humane, progressive ways. As part of our Radical Change series we invited Patrick to speak out on the issues that he sees most important for our time.  He opened with a blockbuster question, “Has civilization ever had a functional moral compass?” He offered a detailed, philosophical explanation of putting an end to unnecessary suffering as the key to a “deep moral/reform and awaking.”
