  •  Your question to Cass about the origin of rights last Thursday still lingers in my mind. It can seem to be simple but it is actually very complex.

  •  Me too John. I've been wanting to come. I have a 11:00 appt. in Boulder, so we'll see.

  •  John is a great facilitator. His meetup is well organized and on point. Do yourself a favor and make time to get to his meetups.
