The last overnight stay on our trip will be at Lake Havasu City, AZ, where we'll meet with the local FReepers and tour the world headquarters of VetsCoR (Veterans for Constitutional Restoration).
Looking forward to a great trip and seeing old friends again and meeting lots of new ones!
Sounds like that's an interesting meeting you are attending. I'd like to hear more about it.
May the wind(s) be at your back....you'll make record time, Jim.
Well, since you asked :)
The University offers a distance education/ short semester Masters of Arts in Bioethics. 3 hours of credit are offered in conjunction with the CMDA National Convention each year. Then there are 10 days in Illinois at the National Bioethics Conference run by the Center for Bioethics and Human Dignity. The instructors are some of the best ethicists in the US. Francis Beckwith is one of the advisors and J Budziszewski is one of the lecturers in July.

On my way to being over educated.
Alligators may not be kept in bathtubs.
Well just where is a normal person supposed to keep his alligator then?
Why, down at the crick of course.
Have a safe and wonderful trip! :-)
I had the pleasure shaking your hand on January 20,2001 at The Count The Silverware affair in D.C. The Houston Freepers led by Flyer are the greatest.
I am honored to know them, and we are all looking forward to our get together in West University , one of the most conservative (except for the trial lawyers) areas in America.
Thanks for the ping!
But what about those of us who don't have a crick? Are we to be denied the "right" to own an alligator?
You wanna talk about your guard dog. Imagine breaking into an abode(W/O a crick) and staring down the business end of a 12 foot alligator! That'll make a person reconsider their career choice.
I guess you just have to get a pool.
Thanks for the ping. I've let Ms. Antifeminazi know that I'll be at the Dallas meeting and am looking forward to meeting you there.
Howdy everyone from beautiful Cedar City Utah!! We've just had a late supper and are now settling into our room. Off to a bit later of a start this morning than I was hoping for, but we're here. Tomorrow it's off for Ft Collins.
Thank you !
Oh, that's great pinging Arkansas now. Thanks!
See you in Houston
Eric
I look forward to meeting you, too !
Stop in to see the CAF and I will buy you'll a Texas BBQ dinner.
We'll see you at Johnson's Corner!
Regards,
TS
What a cool ride!
The intinerary doesn't take them by our parts yet. But it does take them by Budge's place. And I couldn't be happier! Happy for everyone who to gets to get together! :o)
Have a ball everyone!
FREEP ON!
Thank you. I'm looking forward to the wing-ding June 8th.
