A side trip to a symposium! – March 27th, 2018

I had to drive into Seminole County for some client business which fit nicely with a nearby symposium at the University of Central Florida. My pal Robert Bauerle joined me there.
The event featured two speakers of different political parties and still different views of issues both speaking about government. They are so different the cable channels don’t know what to do with them so they don’t put them on. 😀
I LOVE discussion of issues from all kinds of viewpoints. It’s why I enjoy getting together Wednesday mornings with two friends from the opposite political party as myself who also don’t agree with each other. We get to discuss ideas, viewpoints and learn from each other. I sure know I have!
The UCF symposium brought YouTube favorite Dave Rubin and Yaron Brook of the Ayn Rand Institute together. It was a terrific discussion and lots of great questions from an audience of mostly students.
If any of you know of symposiums like this in Central Florida, please let me know. If I can work it in, I’d love to attend more. It’s the working it in that is the tough part. 🙂
The toughest part of the event was the massive show of security and security wands. It helped s bunch of them are with the security group that handled an event I used to be really involved with, Spring Fiesta in the Park coming to Orlando’s Lake Eola Park this April 7th and 8th. I thanked them for their help each year and hope to see some of them when I visit my Fiesta friends next week.
After the event, Mr. Bauerle and I slid over to a nearby Steak ‘n Shake
to have our own discussion of what we heard at the event. 🙂
