    NOTE: This document is a pre-publication draft since the publisher does not allow the published article to be stored on Digital Commons. The citation for the publication is: “‘Only You Can Prevent a Forest’: Agent Orange, Ecocide, and Environmental Justice.” Interdisciplinary Studies of Literature and the Environment. 17.1 (2010): 113-132. “Only You Can Prevent a Forest”: Agent Orange, Ecocide, and Environmental Justice [1] The real story of the environmental crisis is one of power and profit and the institutional and bureaucratic arrangements and the cultural conventions that create conditions of environmental destruction. Toxic wastes and oil spills and dying forests, presented in the daily news as the entire environmental story, are symptoms of social arrangements, and especially of social derangements. The environmental crisis, more than the sum of ozone depletion, global warming, and overconsumption, is a crisis of the dominant ideology. ~Joni Seager Nevertheless, by 1971 internal and external political pressures on the US government were so intense that it became necessary to cancel the entire Ranch Hand program. Thus ended a combat organization dedicated solely to the purpose of conducting war upon the environment. [2] ~Paul Frederick Cecil In “Creating a Culture of Destruction: Gender, Militarism, and the Environment,” geographer Joni Seager explores the pathways between the destruction of the environment and the ostentatiously masculine, industrial, and militaristic culture that has long dominated much of the world. In her conclusion, she implores her readers to think about agency: “As progressive environmentalists, we must learn to be more curious about causality and about agency. Grass- roots environmental groups have been the most effective at naming names but perhaps the least effective at exposing the larger linkages, the structures, and the culture behind the agents of environmental destruction.

  • Laughing at American Democracy: Citizenship and the Rhetoric of Stand-Up Satire
    LAUGHING AT AMERICAN DEMOCRACY: CITIZENSHIP AND THE RHETORIC OF STAND-UP SATIRE Matthew R. Meier A Dissertation Submitted to the Graduate College of Bowling Green State University in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY August 2014 Committee: Ellen Gorsevski, Advisor Khani Begum Graduate Faculty Representative Alberto González Michael L. Butterworth, Co-Advisor © 2014 Matthew R. Meier All Rights Reserved iii ABSTRACT Michael L. Butterworth and Ellen Gorsevski, Co-Advisors With the increasing popularity of satirical television programs such as The Daily Show with Jon Stewart and The Colbert Report, it is evident that satirical rhetoric has unique and significant influence on contemporary American culture. The appeal of satirical rhetoric, however, is not new to the American experience, but its preferred rhetorical form has changed over time. In this dissertation, I turn to the development of stand-up comedy in America as an example of an historical iteration of popular satire in order to better understand how the rhetoric of satire manifests in American culture and how such a rhetoric can affect the democratic nature of that culture. The contemporary form of stand-up comedy is, historically speaking, a relatively new phenomenon. Emerging from the post-war context of the late 1950s, the form established itself as an enduring force in American culture in part because it married the public’s desire for entertaining oratory and political satire. In the late 1950s and early 1960s, a generation of stand- up comedians including Mort Sahl, Lenny Bruce, and Dick Gregory laid the foundation for contemporary stand-up comedy by satirizing politics, racism, and social taboos.

  • Cryptography 11
    Privacy on the Line The right of the people to be secure in their persons, houses, papers and effects against unreasonable searches and seizures shall not be violated, and no Warrants shall issue but upon probable cause, supported by Oath or affirmation, and particularly describing the place to be searched, and the persons or things to be seized. Fourth Amendment United States Constitution The evil incident to invasion of privacy of the telephone is far greater than that involved in tampering with the mails. Whenever a telephone line is tapped, the privacy of persons at both ends of the line is invaded, and all conversations between them upon any subject, and although proper, confidential and privileged, may be overheard. Moreover, the tapping of one man’s telephone line involves the tapping of the telephone of every other person whom he may call or who may call him. As a means of espi- onage, writs of assistance and general warrants are but puny instruments of tyranny and oppression when compared with wire-tapping. Justice Louis Brandeis dissenting opinion in Olmstead v. United States (277 US 438, 1928, pp. 475–476) Senator Herman Talmadge: Do you remember when we were in law school, we studied a famous principle of law that came from England and also is well known in this country, that no matter how humble a man’s cottage is, that even the King of England cannot enter without his consent. Witness John Ehrlichman: I am afraid that has been considerably eroded over the years, has it not? Senator Talmadge: Down in my country we still think of it as a pretty legitimate piece of law.
