Post by _Daniel Peterson »

Just a note to invite anybody interested (and blessed with the big bucks required to purchase an admission ticket) to attend this year's FreedomFest in Las Vegas, 14-16 July:

Friday, 15 July, 11:30-12:20 pm, Bronze 1: "Clash of Civilizations: Will the Christian West and Islam Ever Meet?"

Thank you doctor P. for letting me know about this event. I'm sorry to say that I'm stuck in Dallas and won't be able to make it this time.

Hello Dr. Peterson,

What position will you be taking?

Thanks. I'm expecting it to be good fun.

I've met interesting people at this event previously, including John Mackey, Robert Spencer, Christopher Hitchens, Michael Shermer, Dinesh D'Souza, and Steve Forbes.

This event is still upcoming and Dr. Peterson's presentations look like the lone stars shining on a sea of entreprenurial warnings of doom and gloom unless you use our own ideas of "freedom" convention.

You're own views of "freedom" are by now quite well known, Moksha.

George Gilder is one of the best minds and voices in the present movement for liberty as over against the "progressive" tyranny of soft despotism that has overtaken much of the West, including America, at present.

Wealth and Poverty should be a required social studies text in every High School in the nation.
