Why is it that in the aftermath of a disaster—whether natural or manmade—so many people suddenly become altruistic, resilient, resourceful, and brave, stirred and motivated by a newfound sense of community and purpose? In conversation with Peter Coyote, Rebecca Solnit shows how disaster throws people into a temporary utopia of changed states of mind, and how the social connectedness that subsequently arises can help lead us to a new vision of what society could becomeone that is more collaborative, cooperative, and local.
This conversation took place LIVE at the NYPL on September 24th, 2009.

listened to R. S. on Jan.19.2010 on CBC interview (the current).
In a pretty screwed up crazy world it is some solace to hear someone thoughtful, with both intelligence and humanity. My blog is feastofdragons. Feel free to visit R.S., if you see this.
