Kowabunga

Last night was the monthly rendezvous with the Townhall Meetup group.

Since we've been abandoned by the parent organization yet again, and this time, probably for good, we are assuming that we are on our own for coming up with discussion points.

We had several hot-button discussions last night, beginning with the philosophical difference between a Libertarian and a Conservative. Tom, one of the resident Libertarians, took up that part of the discussion. The reason this topic came up is that Tracy, our fearful leader, mentioned being asked or a simple explanation of the difference. This was not an issue by issue discussion, but trying to determine a fundamental difference in philosophy. The discussion also hit on Objectivism and how it fits in.

After that, it was off to recent event in Iraq and Iran, and the question of what to do about Iran's nuclear ambitions and its potential role in nuclear terrorism.

All in all, a good night. As always, if you haven't checked the group out, and are interested, come on down. Although the group is mostly conservatives and Libertarians, we have had a few Liberals show up on occasion.
