Statement on Free Speech
Our constitution and laws encourage the freest possible exchange of opinions, ideas, and information. In part, that recognizes our worth and dignity as human beings. To forbid us to speak our minds demeans us and makes us more like slaves or robots than citizens of a free country. But as important as freedom of expression is for us as individuals, it is perhaps more important to society at large.

Thursday November 21st Meeting #671
Economic Lessons Unlearned in the Past 30 Years
Dr John Beesley, English Born Author, retired after a long career with Xerox, (Educated at London’s Imperial College and the University of Dallas, BSc, MBA, PhD), will discuss how the U.S. has experienced 30 years of neo-liberal economic policies, otherwise known as “trickle down”, where the workers derive a meager living from the largess of a ruling class. He also points out that 30 years ago, when Ronald Regan’s second term in the White house was ending, it was Donald Trump who floated the idea that Gorge Bush might want him as his running mate in the looming presidential election, an overture Bush described as “strange and unbelievable”. John argues that it is now “strange and unbelievable” that a man with zero business acumen (a six times bankrupt) should be in charge of America in a dis-United States – a disunity caused by Trump himself.
