<hr size="2" width="100%">April 6 at 10 am: “Forces of Destruction"<br>
FRITZ WILLIAMS, Leader Emeritus, Baltimore Ethical Society <br>
People are generally unhappy with the Bush administration. Liberals
decry the belligerent go-it-alone foreign policy, the invasion of Iraq
on false pretenses, the tax reductions that benefit mostly the rich,
the erosion of personal privacy. Conservatives complain about the inept
conduct of the war and overall fiscal irresponsibility. But it’s a
mistake to focus almost exclusively on George W. Bush and the neo-cons.
Bush is the culmination of a movement driven by powerful business
interests which has been restructuring American society for about 40
years. Fritz Williams examines this movement and the disastrous
consequences of the policies it has promoted. <br>
<br>
Fritz Williams serves as primary speaker, teacher, and pastor. Fritz
also performs weddings and commitment ceremonies. He has worked as a
parish priest in the Episcopal church, and as a writer and producer at
public TV stations in Harrisburg, PA, and Detroit, MI. <br>
