  1. Saw your article on Prager U. Rationality lives! Thank you, Antonia. Please consider running for high office. Did you know in June we Conservatives in Canada will be nominating a new party leader? We have no primaries, so who is nominated by the party membership will be the party leader for the next election. One of the four candidates is a young black woman lawyer, Leslyn Lewis from Toronto. She is one of only two social conservatives on the ticket. Her chances are not good because we “socons” are less than 1/4 of the party. Like you, she is breaking the stereotype. She is my “man.”

    BTW, I’m a 73-year-old white guy. My life-long politics believe what you and Leslyn are saying is what we desperately need.
