Global civil unrest over skyrocketing food prices gives us an unpleasant glimpse at what human nature can do.

Watching civil unrest and riots spread

Watching civil unrest and riots spreading nation to nation like a communicable disease raises some important questions. We do ourselves no favors by ignoring them.

Last fall, a diverse group of high school students representing
countries such as Vietnam, Liberia, Cuba, and Afghanistan chose to
delve into issues of prejudice, racism and oppression, topics which
are very pertinent in their lives and in the city of St. Louis as a
whole, particularly in its public schools. The result of this
exploration is an original show that will be performed :

You are cordially invited to the CAMP CAFE. The CAFE is the
"Capitalist Art and Food Experience." No friends ... we're not really
interested in supporting capitalist exploitation, but our first winter
open has brought on sizable heating bills, along with very large,
unexpected building expenses running into the $thousands.

Featured Performers:
Na-do's Delight, performances @ 7:30 and 8:30
Fireflies, acro yoga performance troupe
Michael Franklin, spoken word
