Episode #183 Special guest Salon blogger, bestselling author, and constitutional lawyer Glenn Greenwald joins Citizen Radio to discuss a wide range of issues.

Topics include: How the Obama administration has continued Bush era policies, why the War on Drugs is similar to the War on Terror, Elena Kagan, cause and effect in the War On Terror, Jon Stewart and false equivalencies, the unconstitutional detention of Guantanamo prisoners, gay teen suicides and the Obama administration’s treatment of the LGBT community, third party candidates, America’s collapsing empire, and of course…puppies.

But first, Allison and Jamie discuss the sad and strange story of Katherine O’Connor, who was denied an inhaler by a CVS pharmacist because she couldn’t pay the $21.50 for her medication (Katherine only had $20). Jamie likens this story to the one about a Tennessee man, who called the fire department when his house caught on fire, but the firefighters let his home burn to the ground because he hadn’t paid a $75 fire protection fee, and the larger trend of privatization sweeping the country.

Finally, it’s time for more of your Listener Mail! Your questions/comments this week include how to be an 13-year-old Canadian activist, the times Citizen Radio has made you cry and/or laugh in public like a crazy person, and why you definitely shouldn’t be an apathetic hipster douche bag, but you also shouldn’t beat yourself up, either.
