Here’s what I said while in Chicago last week. Some personal stuff here, some history, and some laughs. Hope you like it.

Unlearn the Propaganda!

    Great job. LOL about the hacking/FBI visit to the guy who thinks angels are running his computer. I can relate to that though.

    Tom, I am SO bummed I missed you in Chicago! I was in a wedding in Mexico. I realize you are a busy man, and Chicago isn’t exactly the freedom Capitol of the U.S., but you have to come visit us again.

    Great speech.

    Great talk, Tom! Your summary of the revisionist view of Shay’s Rebellion is among the most interesting things I’ve heard in a while. Thank you!
