Hello there. This is Mark Bauerline with another conversation. Before we get to it, a word about one of our sponsors.

Located in the foothills of Wyoming's spectacular wind river range,

Wyoming Catholic College, an accredited four-year Great Books Institution,

and the freedom of the American West.

The college offers its students an immersion in the primary sources of the classical tradition,
