I will be speaking to the CSRA (Augusta, GA – area) Libertarian Party on Sunday, March 10, 2013 at 1 p.m.  The meeting will be held at the Roadrunner Cafe, 2821 Washington Road, Augusta, GA (just off I-20).  My presentation will be on “civilian” encounters with the police, to include information on concealed and open weapons carry.  Given my rambling ways and audience connectivity, the talk is likely to also encompass virtually any subject imaginable. 

To get a preview of what I may say, please watch this video (Don’t Talk to the Police!) on Youtube: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6wXkI4t7nuc.  It’s close to an hour-long, but the speaking law professor is dead on.  My talk will of course vary, being more location specific and dealing with some nuances based on my experience and the type of law covered.  Remember, anything I say should be construed as legal education, rather than case-specific legal advice.  If you have a pending legal problem, please consult with an attorney specifically regarding that issue.

If you would like to attend and are not currently a member, please contact the Party for information; I think everyone is welcome but I will try to post more definitive information soon.  I am also in the process of writing a column regarding my presentation information.  I will try to publish it this week.  If allowed by Party rules and within my technical capabilities I may try to video record the discussion.  Stay tuned!

Also, there may be a column post coming this evening, depending on how I feel (currently tired).  I’ve got some really good stuff in draft mode.  Look out for that too!

A quick thought on current national news: why are we treated to such terrible political theater concerning the budget ever few months?  As it stands now, if Obummer and the RepubliCons in CONgress can’t reach a “deal” by friday, we will all witness the horrors of THE SEQUESTER!!!! [maniacal laughter set to sinister music]  It almost sounds like a 1950’s B horror movie with Vincent Price.  I saw a government “shut down” in the 1990s and it wasn’t bad; heck, I thought it was great!  Given the outrageous national debt and deficit spending, $100 Trillion + in unfunded future liabilities, the pending implosion of the dollar, and the $1 QUADRILLION + funny money, derivative time bomb ticking away, why can’t our idiot politicians spare us the rhetoric about a few billion in cuts which, you know damn well, someone will cave on?  Your thoughts?
