MPI encourages everyone to take part in the important grassroots work of promoting freedom through film. And one of the best ways to spread the word about MPI's films--and about the important issues they raise--is to host showings in your community. That's what computer programmer and novelist John J. Enright did last weekend; Enright was moved to host a showing after his wife returned from Freedom Fest raving about Mine Your Own Business.
It sounds like the event went very well:
We had a good crowd for the Mine Your Own Business DVD-viewing party. People enjoyed watching it and it generated a lot of discussion.My favorite line was from some British academic. He said that progressives have stopped believing in progress.
I stopped and thought about that one. Like most broad generalizations of big ideological movements, it's easy to find exceptions. But it's true that Progress with a capital P is no longer the ideal it once was in liberal circles.
Move forward with a will.
Forget about standing still.Try stopping in your tracks,
And you'll soon start drifting back.
