    Check the link.

    BTW, Cato institute is a conservative think tank so this should be a lively discussion.

    Actually, Cato is usually called libertarian, though it seems that they have a conservative streak. I would guess that its spokepeople would be against the embargo, for it goes against their faith.

    vox
    Economists have provided capitalists with a comforting concept called the "free market." It does not describe any part of reality, at any place or time. It's a mantra conveniently invoked when it is proposed that government do something the faithful don't like, and just as conveniently ignored whenever they want government to do something for them.

    They have speakers for and against. I'm looking forward to it.

    Debate was good although everyone was anti-Castro they were split on the embargo eing a good or bad thing for US foreign policy.

    Did you see on their website you can submit papers to them? I'm looking forward to writing some stuff to see what they think.

    By the way I may be published in the Washington Post in a week or so. I'll let you know. Nothing to do with Che of course.

    I actually heard about that somewhere else, and just found this thread now. I wanted to go, but I had work. Lots of hungry people to feed.

    Whenever I think of Mass Ave I think of that guy with the sign saying he was molested by a priest. You know, the one who's been there for years.
