We are encouraging members to bring a friend this month.
Last month we had about 30 people, but we need to boost attendance back up to 40 again like recent months. So we’re asking you to think of someone you know who is into good discussion, open minded and just plain fun to be around.
Details:
Mafiaoza’s Pizzaria
Drop in anytime after 5:30PM for a little while or hang out until 9 with your pals.
Currently some more liberty oriented speakers are in the works but we always welcome your suggestions!

As usual there is a 2 for 1 special on for our group.
And coming up are some great book studies with our member Gene Wisdom, one I’m keen on is The Law by Frederic Bastiat but first in order are The Conservative Intellectual Movement in America Since 1945 (by George H. Nash) and Ideas Have Consequences (by Richard M. Weaver)

Last night at Mafioza’s, long time Liberty on the Rocks member, Rod Williams, brought along Mr. Bokhari from the limousine service Metro Livery. It was great for Ali to share his story with our group; you may have heard about Metro Livery’s lawsuit against the City of Nashville for a city regulation that is holding up free enterprise in the taxi business and has set up a fixed price arrangement of the sort that we usually expect government officials to keep from happening as a consumer protection matter. The Institute for Justice is helping, unfortunately this isn’t the first time a Nashville business needed their help going up against the city administration. We hope this one will be just as successful and customers in Nashville will be rewarded with lower prices and competitive service!
You can find information about Metro Nashville’s interesting taxi vehicle inspections at Mr. Bokhari’s blog: Selective Enforcements. Until I looked over his blog I wasn’t aware that some horse carriages in the down town district have moved out of town to tourist cities where they can operate without hassle.
Hat’s off to Rod for getting the word out, he’s been posting information about where and when people could attend city meetings on this issue, watch our Facebook group for future notices. We always welcome input from any and all Liberty on the Rocks members. If you know of any situation where the freedom of individuals are being hampered or free enterprise is endangered post it on our page or email us!
Hear from Mr. Bokhari himself:
5:30pm – 9:00pm at Mafiaoza’s
Oh yeah it’s that time again. Come grow with us! Our happy hour has been getting more attendance these past two months. We can add seats as quickly as people show up – but please RSVP if you plan to be there by leaving a comment with your name and number of guests.
More thinkers, more discussion, more fun for all. See you after work Thursday.

Last night we had a great meet up. It was good to see several new faces and a couple others who have been away for a while!
Rod Williams mentioned that a local measure on anti-free market forces is once again in play. Here are several of his posts on the issue and also how anyone can take action on this.
If you use cabs or limos in Nashville this affects you! Please note it is a timely topic with the action coming up in the city council next week.
5:30pm – 9:00pm at Mafiaoza’s

Life After Debt a secret government report from 2000 on the “crisis” that might occur if the US paid off it’s debt.
A very interesting story with comment from a Clinton era economist on the situation after that term had ended.
http://www.npr.org/blogs/money/2011/10/21/141510617/what-if-we-paid-off-the-debt-the-secret-government-report
Could it really be bad to pay off the debt or does this just highlight a problem with economic onion layers?
