They’re going to have a Breakthrough Dialogue<\/a><\/p>\n

Breakthrough Institute is hosting its Breakthrough Dialogue to discuss the challenge of modernizing liberalism in the wider context of human development and new risks. Breakthrough is hosting this small, private gathering of intellectuals with the purpose of gaining clarity and building community among important thought leaders.<\/p>\n

……………….<\/p>\n

The Dialogue will take place at the spectacular Cavallo Point resort near Sausalito, California. Our dining and meeting rooms overlook the Golden Gate Bridge and San Francisco. The resort consists of a horseshoe of former Army officer houses, the insides of which were recently remodeled. There is a spa and massage center on-site, and the resort’s restaurant, Murray Circle, won a Michelin star last year. We are encouraging participants and speakers to bring their families to enjoy this special place.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

I suggest that if the conference planners really want participants to see the fruit of liberalism, they should hold it in a public school auditorium in East Los Angeles, or Oakland, or maybe South Los Angeles, with lodging at nearby motels. That would be an object lesson in the results of the domination of public policy by liberals in California, and in California cities.<\/p>\n

Bring your spouse for a romantic evening walk in the neighborhood.<\/p>\n

Liberalism needs a breakthrough alright.\u00a0\u00a0 But it needs to be the sort of breakthrough experienced by drug addicts who finally hit bottom and renounce everything that got them there.<\/p>\n
