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 October 15th Meeting #749
Are Witches Real in 2026?
Dr. Daniel Herlihy. A Catholic Physician, trained to evaluate claims of demonic influence. will discuss the history, psychology, religion, and culture of modern witchcraft. He asks: “When you hear the word “witch”, what comes to mind? “Wicked witch, spellcaster, healer, or modern spiritual practitioner?” Daniel argues that we need to understand how the concept of witches developed historically, how to distinguish myth from reality, how to examine modern witchcraft movements, and how to evaluate claims of supernatural powers critically. He concludes on whether witches still exist in todays’ society.
