Canadian Mobile Blogging

I’m in the (much delayed) van from Buffalo Airport to Niagara-on-the-Lake in Canada for the Atlas Economic Research Foundation. The Verizon mobile broadband works just fine! (An odd coincidence; while sitting with Leonard Liggio and Marsha Enwright waiting for the van to arrive, I spotted Ralph Raico, historian and former editor of Inquiry magazine, who was getting back to Buffalo from someplace. We all had a nice chat. It’s a small world.)

Oh, you mean this Ralph Raico?

Yes. That one.

It's also the same Ralph Raico Tom called "an outstanding scholar and a fine writer" in the reply essay to the one you linked (incidentally, although I think Raico is still kind of off the deep end at times, I agree that he's among the least offensive of the Rockwell crew).

Come on, Robin. Have we become so contentious and ugly that folks who disagree with one another can't be polite and civil when they meet?

Hope you enjoyed yourself! Niagra-on-the-Lake is beautiful.

I was too busy to step outside of the hotel; there was some "free time" for the conference, but I had writing and editing to take care of, so all I saw was the inside of the hotel. But I can say that it was a very nice hotel, indeed!

I hope that you're well. We will be gearing up for another action in November for Kareem (www.freekareem.org) to commemorate his first year in prison, so please put it on your calendar.
