Don't Let It Go

I would be better able to attend Don’t Let It Go…Unheard live if it was held

Every Sunday from 5:00 to 6:00 p.m., PST, I host a webcast devoted to the discussion of politics and news from an Objectivist perspective. If you would like to sign up to attend this Sunday’s webcast live (which includes the ability to participate via written questions/comments, plus via audio if you have a USB headset with microphone), click here.

Topics will include some brief follow-up on topics we discussed last week: the earthquake/tsunami/nuclear reactor problems in Japan and the “Hate Comes to OC” video. The latest on Libya and other pressing foreign policy issues, ObamaCare, the federal budget, and Wisconsin. Plus, the political issue on which Whoopi Goldberg and I (oddly enough) agree. Also, I’ll do my best to answer two philosophical-legal questions: (1) Should victims of a crime be able to collect civil damages from a defendant if the defendant was acquitted in a criminal court of the crime in question? (2) If I am in a public place and get caught in a picture or video being taken by someone’s cell phone/camera when I gave no permission, is that a violation of my right to privacy?

Breaking news events that come to my attention between now and Sunday afternoon may derail my plans, but this is what I have so far. I hope you will join me!

Topics discussed: The earthquake and tsunami in Japan and how technology has affected our experience of it and Japan’s ability to recover from it; what to make of conflicting reports about the danger posed by nuclear reactors in Japan; the so-called economic benefit of these natural disasters; the CAIR-sponsored video, “Hate Comes to Orange County” and the story behind it; Charlie Sheen.
