The members of the Fathering Forum do not pretend to be experts; we are a growing grassroots team of men from all walks of life, with different backgrounds, opinions, beliefs, re …

Windrafting is a new sport (see www.windrafting.com). Imagine sledding on water, prone, facing the waves. The Windraft uses a foot-operated rudder and has an outrigger fitted with pontoons for hiking out against the forces of the wind. That puts you face-forward leaning out over the water in higher winds. The Windraft is also easy to learn. In fact it is the most intuitive way to learn sailing, because your body naturally leans with the wind into your steer. I am the originator of the Windraft a …

This meetup is for people who are enthusiastic about capitalism as a system. Libertarians, market-oriented Democrats, Republicans, and Independents are welcome. This is not a Tea-Party meetup. We do not support "starve the beast" as a political strategy, and feel that should significant tax cuts come, they should be after we have been running a budget surplus for years, sufficient to pay down the national debt to less than 70% of GDP. Tax increases should not be off the table. This meetup is abo …
