January Meeting:
Objective Law Game Night
Our next meeting will be a
night of objective law. We will play “Judge for Yourself – The Game of
Real Life Courtroom Dramas” on Saturday, January 20, at 8 p.m.Our meeting will be at the home of Joy & Jeff Kiviat.
Call (314) 469-2723 for directions.
The game involves real life court cases for
which the players, acting as jurors, discuss and debate the cases with
fellow jurors and guess whether the verdict was for or against. We will
then look at the cases and verdicts for possible alternatives from an
objective law perspective.
Join us for an evening of
legal entertainment and plenty of snacks and discussion in our first
meeting of the new year.
…And there goes another millennium
At our last meeting, we
celebrated the year and the millennium with our annual holiday party.
After enjoying a delicious potluck dinner, we shared our choices for the 2nd
Most Influential and/or Important Person of the Millennium, as well as the
reasons why we chose that individual. Our criteria was rather loose:
positive or negative influence, general or specific importance, etc. Our
list included (in no particular order): George Washington, Johann
Gutenberg, Adam Smith, Isaac Newton, Ben Franklin and Homer Simpson.
While we each had trouble
picking our person, we found it much more difficult to decide on the most
overrated individual of the millennium.
We plan to make this a
recurring meeting topic at the end of each millennium.
Camp Indecon in 2001
This summer, Camp Indecon
will be held in beautiful Colorado at the Blue Mountain Ranch surrounded
by the Pikes National Forest. The ranch is in Florissant, just west of
Colorado Springs, near the Garden of the Gods, the Cave of the Winds,
Pikes Peak, and the Florissant Fossil Beds Monument.
Camp Indecon, developed for
adolescents ages 13 to 16 and children ages nine to 12, teaches the
campers how to think independently and be responsible for their decisions
based on their nature as human beings. The camp instills independence and
confidence (hence the name inde-con) through discussions on topics such as
nature’s rules and free will, confidence building activities like high
ropes courses and mountain climbing, as well as traditional camp
recreation.
The 2001 sessions will run
from July 17 to July 24. Visit www.campindecon.org for more information.
We welcome submissions of reviews, articles, columns and commentary.
