Bryce will be talking on the topic of
'What does it mean to be Leftwing in 2009?'
Originally derived from the seating arrangements
of the French Revolutionary National Assembly of 1789,
do the terms 'leftwing' and 'rightwing' still make sense
more than 200 years later?
Is it more relevant to speak of 'liberal' and 'conservative'?
Is Drinking Liberally misnamed?
All regular attendees and newcomers are invited to come join the discussion,
