Hey everyone!
Huge thanks to V.P. Scrimshaw yesterday for leading what I think was our best Junto yet!
As we discussed, we want to read a book over the break and discuss it for our first Junto meeting in January. If you've read an awesome book on liberty or economics that you think would fit well for a Junto discussion, please post it as soon as possible as a comment! We need to get one chosen soon so that we can have enough time to read it before January.
Email me at colin22182@gmail.com if you have any questions.

Junto 11/18/10
Big thanks to Matt Huff for doing a great job on the last discussion.
Next Junto's discussion is going to be on an interesting topic called Anarcho-Capitalism. Our reading is going to be much more manageable than last week's and can be found at: http://mises.org/journals/jls/3_1/3_1_2.pdf .
We are still looking into who will lead this discussion but feel free to ago ahead and post some discussion points as comments.

Junto 11/4/2010
A big thanks to Eric Hull for leading our last Junto discussion!
We are still looking for a discussion leader for next time but we already have decided on the topic. It is will be Murray Rothbard's "The Case for a 100% Gold Standard". This can be found here: http://mises.org/daily/1829
There is a small preface at the beginning of the webpage and you'll need to scroll down a ways to get to the start of the book. We are getting this up so early since it is a somewhat longer read than we have had in the past (comparable to The Law by Bastiat). Feel free to post some discussion questions as comments to this post.
Thanks everyone!

Junto 10/21/2010
Next Junto will be 10/21/2010, 2:00pm @ Craigo's pizza.
Our next discussion will be on some select reading of Ayn Rand's "Atlas Shrugged" and will be lead by Eric Hull. Eric will be posting some prep materials as a comment on this post.
Sean and myself (Colin) are working on some exciting ideas to present at the beginning of Junto on the 21st, so get pumped!
Feel free invite any and all friends to Junto. Keep in mind the primary focus of these meetings is to increase our knowledge of important fundamentals, economic and philosophical, to be better able to defend freedom and liberty to all.

Next meeting Thursday 10/08/2010
Thanks to all who posted some topic ideas for Junto! We've put them all in the hopper and plan to get to them in due course.
This week's topic is going to be on the Commerce Clause as a enumerated power listed in the Constitution. Misinterpretations of this clause have lead to an explosion in power used by the Federal Government. Reading for this meeting will be a talk given by Dallin H. Oaks at the University of Utah and the Wikipedia article on the Commerce Clause.
Ryan Johnson will be leading the discussion, so feel free to post possible discussion questions as comments to this thread to better prepare for Thursday.

Junto is back!
Thursday September 16th 2:00pm at Craigo's Pizza will be our first Junto back from break.
As is traditional with the first Junto back, we will be revisiting The Law by Frederic Bastiat which can be viewed here: http://www.fee.org/pdf/books/The_Law.pdf
The discussion will be lead by Ryan Kristjanson who will have some insights prepared for a great liberty power hour!
One main goal of this blog is to invite everyone to post discussion questions below as comments. By posting these questions everyone should get a feel for what direction the conversation will go, helping us to know what concepts we can dive deeper into and which ones to possibly stay away from.
See you all there!
