We are live now on the Conversations That Matter Podcast. I'm your host John Harris and we're continuing a discussion of this book. Ideas have consequences by Richard Weaver written in 1948 if you can

believe it again you have your copy too same copy we're gonna actually you know I have three. I don't know how many you have I have the audible I have the Kindle and I have the hard copy which I think this might be the only book I have three copies in every format that I can possibly have.
