   I had only been in Mexico once before:  I spent about 6 hours in Juarez
   in about 1972 with my father and grandfather, while we were on our way
   from Kansas to California.  Back when Juarez was generally safe to go
   to.
   I didn't get enough data to determine the "libertarian-ness" of the
   typical attendee.
   It was an excellent hotel.  I don't know how many "stars" it rated, but
   it was called the Mundo Imperial.

   I found out that I have groupies!  I got recognized at taxi pickups and
   on buses.  More of them seem to be male, however.  <sigh>

   Unfortunately, I was busy preparing my speech, and missed out on her
   presentation.  I will definitely be watching her, and other,
   presentations when they become available on the Internet in a few days.
   I did meet, and then later saw the presentation of, Roger Ver,
   nicknamed "Bitcoin Jesus" for his promotion of Bitcoin and digital
   currencies in general.   I had previously read a lot about him.
   Amazing work.  At the end of his last-day presentation, he called my
   presentation "the best" at that convention.  Naturally, I am very
   grateful.
   >Also, what'd you talk about?
   The obvious:  My AP essay, 22 years later.

   is all about, the fact that nobody seems to have found a flaw after all
   this time.  Explained that I fixed David Friedman's "Hard Problem", and
   that he hasn't yet acknowledged this fact, even with the 2014 published
   third edition of his The Machinery of Freedom book.

   I really needed about 20 more minutes:  They gave each speaker 40
   minutes.  They should give them 55.  There was a suggestion at the end
   of the conference that they increase the time from 9am to 9 pm, which
   would allow the extra time.
