Why the Liberty Learning Exchange?
The Liberty Learning Exchange was formed by active Libertarians to promote a better understanding of libertarianism: a logically consistent & ethically justifiable approach to political, economic, and social structure . It seeks to introduce people to the philosophy of liberty, and deepen the knowledge of people already subscribing to the philosophy of liberty. What is the Liberty Learning
Exchange? The Liberty Learning Exchange is a group that meets every Thursday night in the western suburbs of Chicago to study libertarian thought, and discuss current events and issues from a libertarian perspective. The Liberty Learning Exchange operates under these general guidelines, suggested by Richard Latimer (a long-time admirer of Objectivism and hopeful, charter member of the Libertarian Party):
The third Thursday of each month is dedicated to a discussion of a current issue or event from a libertarian perspective. The remaining Thursdays are devoted to listening to, or reading, about a philosphical aspect of libertarianism, and discussing it. Tentative Liberty Learning Exchange Schedule

Who attends Libertarian Learning
Exchange meetings? The Liberty Learning Exchange attendees include people who where introduced to Objectivism in the 1950's, who are charter members of the Libertarian Party, who have come to understand libertarianism more recently, and who are just curious about libertarianism. The Liberty Learning Exhange is not an outlet for direct political activism or self-help: it is an educational forum. Where does the Liberty Learning
Exchange meet? The Libertarian Learning Exchange meets every Thursday night at a home near the intersection of I355 and I88 in the western suburbs of Chicago. If you would like to attend a Liberty Learning Exchange meeting, please email the Liberty Learning Exchange at lle@mythofsisyphus.net. |

Links "There are two sides to every issue: one side is right and the other is wrong, but the middle is always evil. The man who is wrong still retains some respect for truth, if only by accepting the responsibility of choice. But the man in the middle is the knave who blanks out the truth in order to pretend that no choice or values exist, who is willing to sit out the course of any battle, willing to cash in on the blood of the innocent or to crawl on his belly to the guilty, who dispenses justice by condemning both the robber and the robbed to jail, who solves conflicts by ordering the thinker and the fool to meet each other halfway. In any compromise between food and poison, it is only death that can win. In any compromise between good and evil, it is only evil that can profit." The Lecture Series the LLE is studying now:
