IN THIS ISSUE: we beat the heck out of a rising college freshman, a
bunch of starving third-worlders, certain stupid women, and, most
lovingly of all ... as usual ... each other.

Libertarian Politics: An Oxymoron
by John Lopez
Libertarians recognize as self-evident the rights of life, liberty,
and property. No one who calls himself a libertarian can advocate

Changing The Rules
by Carl Bussjaeger
Okay, you Constitutionalists out there, let's talk about how well that
