Russell J. Ramsland, Jr.

TOPIC:
"Connecting the Dots"

"A recent survey of people ages 18 to 29 revealed Freedom, Prosperity and Certainty as their 3 greatest priorities. Yet half of them said Socialism was the best form of government to realize these, and half of those claimed to be Christians. I’ll be connecting the dots between Prosperity, Freedom and Certainty going back 1.5 million years in order to make clear the fallacy of such thinking, and arm people to talk with their neighbors, children and even grandchildren in clear, concise and simple to explain concepts to debunk such misguided thinking."
