Statement on Free Speech
Our constitution and laws encourage the freest possible exchange of opinions, ideas, and information. In part, that recognizes our worth and dignity as human beings. To forbid us to speak our minds demeans us and makes us more like slaves or robots than citizens of a free country. But as important as freedom of expression is for us as individuals, it is perhaps more important to society at large.

Thursday April 30th Meeting #731
The King's Visit
Dr. John Beesley, English Born Author, retired after a long career with Xerox (Educated at London’s Imperial College and the University of Dallas, BSc, MBA, PhD), will discuss how Donald Trump was officially hosted for a state visit at Buckingham Palace by Queen Elizabeth II from June 3-5, 2019. This week Donald Trump was invited to Buckingham Palace and met Charles III, as both were "heads of state" of the respective countries. The meeting was a set piece of diplomacy to reinforce the Anglo-American "special relationship". Behind all the glad-handing, there were several topics that the King wanted to explore - most often by reference to past events when the two nations were acting "shoulder to shoulder". John will cover both aspects of the relationship.
