[Peace-discuss] [Discuss] Cancellation of Socialism Event

[Gus Wood]

I'm saddened it was cancelled as it is a critical discussion.  I appreciate
David's hard work in trying to put together a diverse panel.  I do hope
that we can do this panel in the future though.  Hopefully this is just a
postponement.
