  Justice: What's The Right Thing to Do? [#104]
  Lecture Seven: John Locke is both a supporter and detractor from the theory of Libertarianism. Locke argues that in the 'state of nature', before any political structure has been established, every human has certain natural rights to life, liberty --and property. However, once we agree to enter into society, we are consenting to being governed by a system of laws. And so, Locke argues, even though government is charged with looking after one's individual rights, it is the majority that defines those rights.
  Lecture Eight: John Locke on the issue of taxation and consent. How does John Locke square away the conflict between 1) his belief that individuals have an unalienable right to life, liberty, and property and 2) that government ' through majority rule ' can tax individuals without their consent? Doesn't that amount to taking an individual's property without his/her consent? Locke's answer to that is that we are giving our 'implied consent' to taxation laws, by living in society, therefore taxation is legitimate. And, as long as government doesn't target a particular group for taxation "if it isn't arbitrary" then taxation isn't a violation of the fundamental rights of individuals. duration 56:46   CC STEREO TVPG

  Savage Planet [#101]
  Volcanic Killers
  Volcanoes and water make dangerous bedfellows. Earth's 100 crater lakes - steaming, brightly colored, corrosive, bubbling with gas - are among the most exotic places on our planet. Mysterious and beautiful, they are also deadly, as the dazed survivors of the "exploding" volcanic Lake Nuyos in Cameroon, West Africa, testify. When volcanic debris and water mix together, they create destructive mudflows called lahars. It was lahars that caused New Zealand's worst railway disaster and destroyed 200 homes and swept away bridges in 1980 when Washington state's Mount St. Helens erupted. Unforgettable images and heart- rending stories from the Philippines demonstrate what typhoon rain and volcanic rock can do together. More people have died from lahars that flow each typhoon season than when the Philippines' Mount Pinatubo erupted. It is an ominous warning to those who live near volcanoes - as experts Professor Kelvin Rodolfo in the Philippines and Kevin Scott and David Zimbelman in Washington try to explain - and a threat hanging over one of America's most prosperous cities, Seattle. duration 55:53   CC STEREO TVG
