Morris and I spoke during President Obama's visit to Columbus on Sept 13. Most of the protestors who had been there to tell Obama to not approve the Keystone XL Pipeline project had left. Keystone XL would carry tar sands oil from Canada to Texas where it would be refined and shipped to other countries.

There were no people of color in the protest, though a Black elder sat nearby on a lawn chair so as to stay in the shade during the hot September day.

Morris said the under-representation of people of color in the environmental movement is a case in point on the importance of education.

"We're not educated on those facts...When you go into lower economic areas, there's no one standing there giving us information about a pipeline."

Morris said white middle class, environmental activists should spend time in Black and low-income parts of town.

"Go into those communities and talk to people. There are people who aren't too busy to listen. But the information isn't there. Do you go into these communities and speak w/ people about these things that you're protesting ? I'm talking about urban communities."

Morris said standing in the streets holding signs won't necessarily engage people who aren't currently involved with environmental and other causes.

So........ We recorded this and forgot to post it in time to get it on the air. Real bonehead move on our part. The reason why is we have been working furiously this week on our comedy album, which you will be purchasing from us shortly.

This episode had some groans towards the kickoff of election season more than a year in advance but the second half of the show is an interesting interview with Tim Lockerby, the lottery loser suing his workmates.

You can find everything we do at murderrebelraidio.com, including our uncensored show, and Murder Rebel Radio. Our full blown abstract comedy endeavor that got us into radio in the first place.

Thanks for all your support and for downloading the show, you guys are the best.
