Subject: Re: [LPNY DISCUSS] Steve Malanga & Fabiani Society Date: Wed, 4 Jun 2003 08:50:44 -0400 To: From: Bob Armstrong I went to the Fabiani website an registered the other day and got to the meeting last night . I've posted my notes ( unedited ) at http://cosy.com/current.htm#20030603 . As in his article Steve presented a number of the inane laws= the Council has enacted or is proposing . In the Q&A , I asked what turned out to be the last question . Paraphrasing : I'm with the Manhattan Libertarians and whatever the pros and cons , we appear to have stopped them from outlawing squirt= guns . But my real question is : What causes these Wall Street types= like Weprin , Corrzine , and even Bloomberg become Statist= Socialists ? The question was applauded . Steve hypothesized that it showed= the disconnect between Wall Street and Main Street . [ I think it has more to do with sheer appetite for power over others . ] I got invited to a Cato event which I'll be heading to today . Not sure how Russell Simons Drop the Rock event will go with= all this cold rain , but I'll stop by after the Cato thing . -- On Mon, 02 Jun 2003 00:41:56 +0000, Richard Cooper wrote: >=A0Jim: If you read the invitation you would see that the Fabiani= Society >=A0specifically asks that the invitation not be posted to= lists--it is by >=A0invitation.
