L. Neil Smith's
THE LIBERTARIAN ENTERPRISE
Number 173, May 13, 2002
YOU'RE ON MY LIST

"A libertarian is a person who believes that no one has the right, under any circumstances, to initiate force against another human being, or to advocate or delegate its initiation. Those who act consistently with this principle are libertarians, whether they realize it or not. Those who fail to act consistently with it are not libertarians, regardless of what they may claim." -- L. Neil Smith

Before reading the articles in this week's Enterprise, why not throw a few coins into the hat? It will help keep the weekly issues coming (you'd hate it if you came here one day and it was gone, wouldn't you?). Remember: "There Ain't No Such Thing As A Free Lunch�TANSTAAFL!".
