    Of course, you should enjoy as many puppies as you wish.

    Is that the same Tom Woods that wrote "Nullification: How to Resist Federal Tyranny in the 21st Century"?

    Good book.

    A great seminar (and funny, too).
    So just as Brown University has created "academic safe rooms" (complete with calming music, play-doh, coloring books, pillows, blankets and videos of frolicking puppies) to be retreated to in the event a conservative speaks on campus, Galt's Gulch is an academic "safe room" from the widely disseminated liberal nonsense being pushed everywhere.
    Liberals should have their own crapp thrown back at them.

    I am a professor at Florida Tech, a private, non-tenure-granting university. Unlike Hillsdale, some of our faculty do feed from the government trough, unfortunately. I cannot control them, only myself.
    See the ad in the Marketplace on Florida Tech's Nanotechnology Minor Program.

    Ah hell go for it we're big boys and girls. If it was Hillary or Obeyme they will try to claim common every day language and trying to connect with the common people....what could be more scary than that Soros? Yoda?
    Biden? Barbara or Jane? Whoopee or Rosie?

    I know a couple of the speakers, but I'm not sure that everyone here will like the last name of the first speaker.
