Free Market Movie Nights
Do you find yourself frequently at home on date nights? Is your mother worried that you no longer come upstairs to enjoy meatloaf on meatloaf night? Do you often have to listen to Captain and Tennille records to fall asleep? If so, we’ve got the solution for you. We are proud to reintroduce Free Market Movie Night, presented by the fine folks at the Independence Institute. Coming up this Sunday, instead of sitting at home watching another Cheers rerun with a pint of Double Fudge Rocky Road for company, come on out to the Harkins Theater in Denver and watch a movie with some other human beings – that are not your family. We will be premiering the Al Gore approved, anti-climate hysteria flick “Not Evil, Just Wrong.” For a taste, check out the trailer:
We are nearly sold out of tickets, so if you plan on going email Mary@i2i.org or call us 303.279.6536.
Then, on Wednesday November 4th, we will be showing Begging for Billionaires at Jacksons Sports Grill downtown. In this movie, the filmmakers take eminent domain to task. Check out the trailer:
Again, if you plan on going email Mary@i2i.org or call us 303.279.6536. Seating is limited.
Global Warm… Er, I Mean “Climate Change” Debate
You may remember Mr. Fire and Rain himself, James Taylor, from his devastating critiques of global warming (aka climate change) science, and smooth styling on the ol’ 6 strings. The man from the Heartland Institute made some crushing arguments here, here, and here – along with a great event at the Independence Institute last year. Well, it looks like James is back at it. He will be taking part in a global warming debate at Colorado Christian University, October 20th at 7pm. I’m kind of confused how we could have a global warming debate at this juncture in time…. as the planet has not warmed since 1998 (and this BBC article too), and if you’re old enough you’d remember the ice age alarmism of the 70’s. Last week a Rockies playoff game got snowed out for cryin’ out loud! Rossputin has a nice global warming alarmist wrap-up in this letter to Lindsey Graham.

Let’s Cut Through Obama’s “Green” Rhetoric
The Independence Institute is pleased to host an evening with Terry Anderson, Executive Director of the Property & Environment Research Center (PERC). Through the lens of a free market approach to economics and environmental policy, Terry will examine the Obama administration’s environmental policies, specifically exploring whether those policies are really “green”; the implications of the carbon cap-and-trade proposal and the global warming debate; and the pros and cons of green jobs and green energy policies. Please join us as we slice through the rhetoric from both sides and get to heart of what is at stake for our environment and our economy.
The event will be held on Wednesday, April 8th here at the Independence Institute in Golden. Reception at 5:30, presentation at 6pm. Click here to RSVP, or give us a ring at 303.279.6536.
Fire and Rain: Environment and the Economy
Will the current economic situation put the big chill on global warming alarmism or will the reality of science? Can a promise of 5 million green jobs rescue the American economy? Those are just a couple of the questions climate and environmental expert James Taylor (not the singer) from the Heartland Institute will address when he visits the Independence Institute. And just to whet your appetites, we dabbled a bit on a couple of those issues in our latest ivoices.org podcast.
Join us for our Fire and Rain: Environment and Economy event on Thursday, November 20, at our offices. Reception with James Taylor will begin at 5:30 p.m. followed by a 10-minute video on the demise of the Vikings of Greenland and Mr. Taylor’s presentation. For more information call 303-279-6536 or visit our website. To RSVP contact rsvp@i2i.org.
Maybe we can get sweet baby James to break out his guitar!
Fire and Rain: Environment and the Economy
Did global cooling have a fatal effect on the Vikings of Greenland? What does it have to do with the current hysteria about global warming and how will “climate change” affect our economy? Those are just a few of the questions climate and environmental expert James Taylor (not the singer) from the Heartland Institute will address when he visits the Independence Institute.
