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 January 29th Meeting #721
Corporate Greed, Public Harm
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 in previous speeches, he covered the actions of Donald Trump, who broke the law - seemingly without suffering any consequences. He was impeached but wriggled out of it. However, many people died because of his presidential actions, often driven by the desire for power and personal greed. John argues that corporate greed is well known, but "cutting corners" cheats the public. He concludes that “corporate greed” has caused physical harm to our whole society.
