The meeting, on Saturday, October 16 at 7:00 p.m., will be at
Lorie Bugby's house in West St. Louis County.
**Location change** -- the meeting will now be at Wendi & Carl's house in Glen Carbon.

The Rational Optimist: How Prosperity Evolves on BookTV
In case you missed it on C-SPAN2, Matt Ridley's The Rational Optimist: How Prosperity Evolves is now available on booktv.org. In the talk, based on his latest book by the same name, Ridley discusses how humans progress, arguing "that we progress when we trade and we only really trade productively when we trust each other." He shows that the world is getting better, contrary to what you hear from environmentalists, politicians, and the mainstream media.
