037: UConn-athon! (Students For Liberty Discussion Part 1)

Summary: Picture: My estimate of the audience members' average political position, based on the World's Smallest Political Quiz. On Wednesday April 14th, I was invited to speak to the UConn Students For Liberty at the University of Connecticut. I had prepared a thirty-minute speech, and planned to devote another 30 minutes to Q&A. However, the audience included several socialists, and the entire event wound up running three hours. I gave some of the speech. Even though the outcome was different from what I anticipated, and I didn't counter their objections as well as I would've liked, I thought the whole experience was great. I have split it into two parts. This first part will include a lot of repeated information, as I planned to speak to a number of people who were unfamiliar with the show. The second part is more of a discussion. NOTE: The first few minutes are clipped off as I was walking around and having the audience fill out Nolan Charts, so I could have a better sense of the political viewpoints. NOTE: Special thanks to Jon Mohrbacher, Ryan Safner and Howie Reith. Please visit schoolsucksproject.com for full show notes, references and links.
