My life has begun to enter into the busyness of the semester as of this week. On Monday, my supervisors gave me the project of making sure the voting members of the Tax and Fiscal Policy Task Force had updated information in our data banks. The project consists of me comparing what info we have to what they each have on their government websites. It's sort of tedious.
Yesterday at Koch was sweet. We talked about Bastiat's The Law for a good two hours. If you haven't read that book, read it. He'll most likely get you stoked on Life, Liberty and Property. The conversation at my table even turned into where does morality come from? Is there Truth? Rockin stuff. Various speakers came and spoke about originalism and their efforts to spread property rights in Africa. Spending time at Koch has been great so far. What makes it crazy is the fac that I had no idea about it before I had applied at ALEC. God was just like Here, have this free education. That night, I went on over to the Heritage Foundation and saw a pre-screening of their new film on America's failing education system. The film is called Flunked. It was good, not all doom mongering, but also told the stories of teachers, principles and administrators who were having success within the system.
Today was more data entry and then a meeting over lunch with a bunch of tax policy think tanks in DC. They exchanged information with other, policy successes, etc. It's a meeting that goes on about once a month. I then booked it on back for class where one of Obama's campaign members involved in faith based projects spoke about his approach to faith and politics. A McCain rep was suppossed to come, but didn't make it. Oh well. For dinner, there was a picnic on the mall. Good times.
