Fantastic!  For the record, the GMS does not come to these events with an 
agenda, as it were, we're not interested in espousing a particular groups 
ideas, we're interested in the debate - more or less, and the fact that
its a grand chance to put the notion of a market place of ideas to the
test.

Granted, I have my own opinions as to the ideas presented by the people
we invite - but those are not the goals of the GMS.

So, the more "controversary", if you will, the better.  I think we need
healthy open debate of the issues that travail us, rather than less
because we might think or feel the ideas are hard to discuss.   The more
the merrier!
