I have no problem with people hearing their lectures (though with the price tag for entry, most are going to hear it over the net.). I do have a problem with how the POV of a wealthy, techie, ruling-class segment monopolizes discussion, one that has already demonstrated it will roll over any person or group that stands in the way of it getting what it wants and will push for its objectives through subterfuge, propaganda, manipulation of the press, infiltration and bribery and shutting down of dissenting voices.
BTW, I didn't need your resume. I judge DU posters by their posts, not their credentials.
