Topics for Tomorrow’s Live Webcast

Every Sunday I conduct a live webcast in which I discuss news and politics from the perspective of Ayn Rand’s philosophy, Objectivism. This Sunday the webcast returns to its regular time, 5:00 p.m. to 6:00 p.m., PST.

If you would like to join in live, which includes the ability to participate via text chat and also via audio either by using a USB mic connected to your computer (VoIP) or by phone, then click here to register.

So far the topics I plan to discuss are: (1) The budget compromise: what do you think of it, morally and practically? A significant step in the right direction, given today’s context? Or an indication that the House GOP offers us no significant improvement over the Democrats? (2) Donald Trump: Serious candidate with promise, or arrogant grandstander with no real principles? What do we make of his use of eminent domain? What significance should we attach to the things for which his “apprentices” are rewarded on his T.V. show? (3) The media’s, politicians’, and military leaders’ comments on Terry Jones’s burning the Koran and the violent reaction to it in Afghanistan. The good, the bad, and the ugly.

Join in live if you can; otherwise check back here or in iTunes to listen to the recorded podcast later. And, if you are enjoying the podcast in iTunes, please write a review there if you get a chance! Thanks!

You can use this thread to suggest topics or ask questions you’d like to hear discussed. As you can tell from my recent posts, I’ve already been interested in the latest GOP budget proposal, as well as politicians’ and the media’s reaction to Terry Jones burning the Koran. What’s been foremost on your mind this week so far?
