SUMMARY:Karl Hess Club Presentation: Atlas Shrugged\, Liberty Loves
DESCRIPTION:Company by Paul Gibbons and Terry Lee Brussel.\nDinah’s Family Restaurant\n6521 S. Sepulveda Blvd. (at Centinela Ave.) \n*not a Live the Dream event \nThe difference between those of us who are comfortable with the status quo and those who truly love liberty is the willingness to share the freedom we want for ourselves with the rest of the world—whether politically or in our love lives. Ayn Rand herself lived an alternative lifestyle\, though perhaps in a way which would not be considered ethical polyamory today—how would it have affected the story if her characters were poly? Liberty advocates who want the freedom to act in their own best interest while maintaining the desire to see others restricted in their ability to do the same (short of actual harm) because those others might do something the “liberty advocates” disapprove of are not really serving the cause of liberty. Is it true that liberty best serves the needs of humanity? We will discuss whether Rand’s characters embraced this position as well as examine whether she herself held that view in Atlas Shrugged and her other writings. \nDon’t miss it! \nFounded on April 30\, 1994 by Samuel Edward Konkin III\, J. Kent Hastings\, Brad Linaweaver and Mike Everling. If you wish to learn more about Karl Hess\, please consult his autobiography. “In a laissez – faire society\, there could exist no public institution with the power to forcefully protect people from themselves. From other people (criminals)\, yes. From one’s own self\, no.” — Karl Hess The Karl Hess Club is a Los Angeles based libertarian supper club that meets each month on the third Monday at Dinah’s Family Restaurant.  \n For more info on the Karl Hess Club go to www.karlhessclub.org/

SUMMARY:A Course on Moral Philosophy: Liberty in our Politics and Our Lifestyles
DESCRIPTION:Led by Paul Gibbons\, Libertarian activist. \nHeinlein was a champion of a largely self-sufficient society\, encouraging people to learn the basics of survival and self reliance. Principles of respect for persons and property and commitment to duty and honoring the dignity of competence were described at length in many of his books\, including Starship Troopers\, The Moon is a Harsh Mistress and Stranger in a Strange Land. \nMany people believe Stranger in a Strange Land and Starship Troopers are complete opposites. Heinlein himself stated that if a reader did not get it that both of these books are about the same thing\, they have completely missed the point of all of his writings. Both these books and Moon is a Harsh Mistress are about personal responsibility for the state of your own life\, the happiness of those you care for\, and the safety and freedom of the village (or the planet) in which you live. This includes the government we choose and the lifestyles we live. \nScience fiction has been consistently pointing the way to the future in science\, technology\, and politics. Heinlein and others made considerable inroads into other areas of life and philosophy. What inferences can we make from the questions posed in these works of fiction that can serve us today and into the future? Come discuss these issues as we unpack the great ideas we have admired in our favorite stories and work back to the first principles that would make these worlds and ours more successful. \n1 pm Pot Luck Lunch Bring something healthy and delicious to share\n2-4 pm Group discussions or hot tub\nPaul may share some video’s relating to the Free State Project \nLibertarian-themed Filk sing follows at 7pm (6pm for pot luck dinner)
