Conference Wrapup

Long-Term activist Ben Masel has just spoken on 2 topics - the possibility of lowering health-care costs by using natural drugs rather than synthetics, particularly the use of medical marijuana and the passing of the proposed medical marijuanan law in Wisconsin.

He also made an interesting observation that many right-wing radio shows are being largely supported by advertising paid for by government agencies.  This is particularly interesting in view of the declining financial status of Clear Channel radio - so the question here is why is the government supporting the radio shows of people like Rush Limbaugh?

We've now descended into the lunchtime activities of things like awarding of the raffle prizes, thanks, and the other anti-climactic activities  - there has just been a call to close the convention and adjourn for lunch - So it's over. 

More reflections later.
