First hour: Trump and the Boy Scouts
Second hour: Is war inevitable to the human condition?
Things got weird when President Trump spoke to the Boy Scouts. He veered into stories about friends making millions, buying yachts, and hosting wild parties. That put the organization into the awkward position of having to respond. In this hour, we discuss values: decorum, honor, and what it means to be a scout in 2017. Our guests:
Stephen Hoitt, scout executive and CEO of Seneca Waterways Council
Charles Brady, former scout and Scout leader
Joel Helfrich, local historian and former Eagle Scout
In our second hour: Is war simply part of the human condition? In other words, is world peace - true world peace - possible? Iraq War veteran Paul Chappell says yes. He speaks to crowds about peace literacy, and he says the idea that human beings are naturally violent is a myth. Chappell is in Rochester as a guest of the Gandhi Institute, but first, he's on Connections.
