While others are working to send deserving people, I am selfishly sending only one person to the Women in Secularism conference: ME. I just registered. My greedy self-interest worries me…maybe I’m turning into a libertarian now.

I am so selfish

Don’t worry PZ, I’m sure everyone will view your offer of your own presence as supremely generous.

You’re safe, PZ. In order to be a true Libertarian, you’d have to get your trip subsidized and then actively work to keep other people from going because the Constitution doesn’t mention conferences or something.

I’ll be going due to the generosity of Marcus Ranum and Stephanie Zvan. This is gonna be, well, uh, dare I say “awesome”? I’d be dating myself to say it was groovy…
See ya’ there, eh?
Your friend in grooviness,

No Mary. She has to work for a living.

Not at all, just figured it would be like a convention for women. They do a couple a year here, just at a local level. I need to keep myself better informed. 0:)
