Solomon, Norman — Made Love, Got War
Politics may be safely called the medium for the theory and practice of social change. The implementation of social change is the topic of this edition of Radio Curious.
Our guest is Norman Solomon, founder of the Institute for Public Accuracy. He has been its Director since 1999. Norman Solomon is currently a candidate for Congress for the newly formed 2nd Congressional District that includes the coastal counties of northern California from the Golden Gate Bridge 350 miles north to the Oregon border.
In addition to his work at the Institute for Public Accuracy, Norman Solomon has written 12 books on politics, civil disobedience, and war. When Norman Solomon was barely 17 years old, he came to believe that it was possible to do almost anything with enough desire. At that time he also wanted to write a book called “No Compromise.” He visited the studios of Radio Curious on February 2, 2012, and we began our conversation when I asked him if he ever wrote that book.
The website for the Institute for Public Accuracy is www.accuracy.org. The website for Norman Solomon’s congressional campaign is www.solomonforcongress.com.
The book Norman Solomon recommends is “The Grapes of Wrath,” by John Steinbeck.
