As a parent, I've heard about BPA for years. But I have rarely heard anyone address the specific consequences. Are there studies or cases that have proven the negative endocrine effects? and what are those effects?

I think it is important to note that Humphreys, the man who shot a beanbag gun at a 12 year old girl, is the same officer who just last year killed a 27 year old schizophrenic, James Chasse. 

He is still being paid by my tax dollars and this is completely unacceptable. 

Communities need to come together and create their own networks of support free from state oppression.

I think Keith Rosson would be a great topic for Think out loud.

He is an painter, graphic designer, writer and teacher who has very limited eyesight. He went to the Oregon school for the blind as a child and continues to make his living in visual arts, even with a severe visual impairment. He shows art throughout Oregon and the rest of the U.S. and has done album covers/t-shirts/posters for many prominent bands. He also has one of the longest running zines featuring his life and art published through Microcosm publishing. The zine is called "Avow."

info can be found at: keithrosson.com

I think it would be interesting to explore his experience and other visual artists experience with limited and/or degrading eyesight and the artistic process. How is their experience reflected in their work?

Alternatively, I think a show on zines and zine culture would be fascinating since Oregon and specifically Portland has nurtured this area for so long.

Thanks for listening.
