Blasphemy laws are still on the books in about a quarter of the world's countries with devastating results. And not all blasphemy relates to conventional religion. Libby talked with filmmaker Martin Himel.ANDThe idea has been around for decades and it spawned two major experiments over the years.

Sheila Regehr is chairperson of the Basic Income Canada Network.
