Rick Steeves


I went to see Rick Steves speak at a local bookstore. He host a travel show on PBS that Ive watched for years. It was great to watch him speak, he is very political when he is off camera.

He just finished a show about Iran. He said the reason he did this show is to try and show the west what the people of Iran are really like. The corporate media has been so busy dehumanizing Iran, that he wanted a chance to show how they (the people of Iran) are just people, like us, just trying to live their life. We shouldn't confuse the people with the policies of their government.
