Trading Co-ops Network For a long time in Radical Routes we have known that many people who live in housing co-ops also work in workers co-operatives that are not a part of the network. There are many good reason for this. Many workers co-ops would find the work commitment to Radical Routes hard to fulfill; attending gatherings at weekends is difficult for workers co-ops in many industries and the benefits of full membership are less tangible for workers co-operatives than they are for housing co-ops. To redress this the trading co-ops forum and associated working group have been formed. At each gathering people involved in workers co-operatives or other trading organisations and those acting as sole traders get together to discuss issues that affect them and to provide mutual aid. To be a member of the Rad Routes Trading Co-ops Network, co-ops must be full or associate members of Radical Routes.

Radical collaboration To solve the crises we face - especially the pressing issues of climate change, poverty and human trafficking - radical collaboration is essential. This means collaboration between organizations, between individuals, across political lines and between for-profit and non-profit organizations. It means putting aside our self-interests when they stand in the way of a greater good. [edit] How far should we go? Collaboration is a complex matter, and should not be sought just for its own sake. Maintain a focus on the mission, and note Himmelman's stages of working together - move in gradual steps in deepening relationships, look for practical, achievable actions, and find the level appropriate to the relationship and the mission.

"Amusing.." book review Huxley, Orwell & Television Below is the foreword of Neil Postman's Amusing Ourselves To Death: Public Discourse In The Age Of Show Business. His book, written in 1985, warned that entertainment values corrupt the way Americans think about news, politics, education, and religion, and that these values are transmitted and validated by television. "Television," Postman writes, "has little tolerance for argument, hypothesis, or explanation: it demands a performing art."
