Pigfest is t'nite. The Pigfest staff at Mr. Dawntreader managed to scrounge up 28 of the sharpest thinkers in Virginia to attend ... from middle school ranks up through grandparents ... from poets to scientists ... from empiricists to romanticists.
There are some challenging topics in store for t'nite. Mr. Dawntreader has seen a preview of the topics to be discussed ... you won't be disappointed.
Bring your worldviews, your ideas and your appetite with you -- but leave your high school diplomas at home. Diplomas are not required for Pigfests.
The table has been set in the basement. The chairs are deployed. The food is being prepared. All we need ... is you.
P.S. Don't forget, apathy is strictly prohibited at all Pigfests.
I'm guessing "Duke Sucks" is not a legitimate Pigfest topic. :)
Seriously, though, I wish I could make it.

"Seriously, though, I wish I could make it."
Me too. I have a funny feeling it will happen at some point. Incidentally, we had an atheist attend last month. He was a very nice guy and interacted beautifully with the group, even though he was "philosophically alone" in our crowd. I was happy about that.
Blending theists and non-theists and talking about religion and politics has its risks, but I think it is a healthy thing to attempt. Warm hospitality (on the part of everyone involved) helps make it possible.

That doesn't make any difference to me.
