Bakersfield Business Conference back in 2010 — Who should speak? Where?
Haven't heard? The Bakersfield Business Conference will be back in 2010, organizer George Martin confirmed Monday. He plans to ask folks where they'd like the conference to be held later. Over the years, the event that draws internationally known leaders, politicans, newsmakers and entertainers has been held at Stockdale Country Club, Cal State Bakersfield and what's now Rabobank Arena downtown. But being impatient news types, we're curious (now) where you'd like to see the conference held in 2010. What's a good venue? And who would you like to hear speak?

I think we should start out with Noam Chomsky and then tie the whole thing up with Michael Moore. ---virgil posted by

Virgil - "I think we should start out with Noam Chomsky...." How appropriate, Noam Chomsky, an anarchist. Does anyone have a pic of Chomsky as the Joker? posted by

From Wiki, the source most quoted by liberals: "Since the 1960s, he has become known more widely as a political dissident, an anarchist,[9] and a libertarian socialist intellectual." I didn't put him in a box, the beloved Wiki did. Now, AT EASE Virgil! posted by

Pike, I've reviewed some of Chomsky's stuff and watched interviews on C-Span because I'm interested in cognitive linguistics. Gotta go, the bugle calls. posted by

He is considered the expert in the field of linguistics. I find his politics a little too radical but I like reading him because he makes a good case for radicalism. Need to see the other side. There is a difference between "reviewing" and "reading" as I am sure you are aware. posted by

Yep, Pike. Unfortunately I don't have time to do much in-depth reading these days and must be satisfied with reviewing and C-Span. posted by

Agreed, pike, too radical. A theoretical idealist. After all, we're still only upper paleolithic hunter gatherers. posted by

Way too radical, elinem, might say some things to make folks think, like grads at a commncement address. They only want to hear that the world is their oyster, waiting to reward them for being so smart. Don't want to scare them. posted by

No thanks ~Virgil~....I think we've been screwed enough without giving others fresh and new ideas on how to give it to us in a more efficient way....
