You are so right! I like your recommendation and thanks for introducing me to Stephane Hessel. I wonder whether my local library stocks it or be willing to bring it in. I will ask today and see what they say.
and I quote from your source:
"Time for Outrage!
In October 2010, his essay, Time for Outrage! (original French title: Indignez-vous!), was published in an edition of 6,000 copies (ISBN 978-1455509720 ). It has sold more than 3.5 million copies worldwide[13] and has been translated into Basque, Catalan,[14] Italian,[3] German.[2] Greek, Portuguese,[3] Slovenian,[15] Spanish,[3] Croatian, and Hebrew.[16] Translations into Korean, Japanese, Hungarian, Swedish and other languages are planned. In the United States, The Nation magazine's March 7–14, 2011 issue published the entire essay in English.[3][17]
Hessel's booklet argues that the French need to again become outraged, as were those who participated in the Resistance during World War II. Hessel's reasons for personal outrage include the growing gap between the very rich and the very poor, France's treatment of its illegal immigrants, the need to re-establish a free press, the need to protect the environment, importance of protecting the French welfare system,[3] and the plight of Palestinians, recommending that people read the September 2009 Goldstone Report.[18] He calls for peaceful and non-violent insurrection.[18]
In 2011, one of the names given to the Spanish protests against corruption and bipartisan politics was Los Indignados (the outraged), taken from the title of the book's translation there (¡Indignaos!). These protests, in conjunction with the Arab Spring, later helped to inspire other protests in many countries, including Greece, UK, Chile, Israel, and Occupy Wall Street which began in New York's financial district, but has now spread across the United States and numerous other countries. Ongoing protests in Mexico challenging corruption, drug cartel violence, economic hardship and policies also have been called the Indignados.[19]"
I hope both our "old men" get onto the show, and I think we both agree to be volunteers for "Live audience" we can challenge each other onto a clapping competition - lol, I mean you've got to laugh when terms like "talk show" "chat show" are being used for these interviews but how else do you describe them? coin a new term? I suggest "The talks that change the World" or "Stop and Listen!" or "Action! - Talk" , yes the last one sounds good, anything other than "show".
