BBC REITH LECTURES

This years lectures by Prof. Jeffrey Sachs are quite shocking but also timely. You can listen or read online at: http://www.bbc.co.uk/radio4/reith2007/
While his thoughts and research are very good, It would really be nice to have a bit of diversity in the speakers. The western culture is the cause of many of the problems of modernity and eastern wisdom has many of ths solutions - especially the ones about simplicity, charity, integrity and non-violence to all living beings. I am surprised that the BBC does not invite these voices.
