I am so selfish

February 19th, 2013 by PZ Myers

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.

    Can I have your state-funded job?

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

    (No, I’m not normally that nice.)

    I saw this in the sidebar and thought it said “I am so shellfish.” Sigh.

    Chris, you know my state-funded job is about as far from the desert as you can get. I suppose you could switch your interests to wetlands…

    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,

    But… you ain’t a woman.

    No Mary. She has to work for a living.

    jose: do you really think only women could be interested in justice for women?

    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:)
