Anybody But George? Anybody But Hillary?
by L. Neil Smith
At this writing, the 2008 election is only 25 months away. America
is getting ready again to play the deadliest game of Ping-Pong in the
universe. This horrifying process was first described to me (although I'd
noticed it myself already) by libertarian lecturer/philosopher Robert
LeFevre. Every time we elect somebody new, Bob explained—usually
because we're fed up with the Old Regime screwing up our lives and
finding ways to limit our freedom—the New Regime soon finds ways of
its own (because it had them in mind all along) to do exactly the same
stuff.

Decisions, Decisions
by Lady Liberty
Last week, I made a decision. I based it on fact and
logic. It was, in fact, the right decision. But as it turned out, it wasn't
the best decision. I spent the entire week regretting what I'd done and
working to reverse it. Fortunately, it was a decision the effects of which
could be reversed. Oh, it wasn't easy (which might be a good thing since
the harder I had to work, the deeper the lesson sunk in), but it got done
in the end.

Your Destiny Is to Make a Better World
by Jim Davidson
Please allow me to offer some thoughts on this topic, which I've spent
rather a lot of time studying since first encountering the term "slave
rebellions" in a book by Michael Flynn. Yes, there are generational
minor peaks in the slave rebellion cycle, and there are inter-generational
major peaks. We happen to be approaching a major peak, which may become
a very major peak.

Not So Shiny Serenity
by Michael Brightbill
After much waiting and a pushed back opening date, the
movie continuation of Joss Whedon's great TV show, Firefly was released
into theaters. If you haven't seen the TV show, where have you been? Go out
immediately and purchase a copy of the DVD set. I had eagerly awaited this
movie for some time, and attended the opening showing with glee.

The Honest Truth About Honest Abe
by Jonathan David Morris
As we speak, the town of Dover, Pennsylvania, is
debating whether intelligent design theory ought to be
mentioned in public school science classes. I find it
somewhat ironic that we're discussing how to teach the
origins of life when we can't even straighten out how
to teach what happened after it began. Forget about
science. Let's talk about the most one-sided,
whitewashed subject in all of education: The War of
Northern Aggression. Or as the kids call it, the
American Civil War.

The Family Gunsmith
by L. Neil Smith
Would you like to become a little more self-sufficient
in these increasingly uncertain times, especially where your means of
self-defense are concerned?

A White Oppressor? Who, Me?
by Wendy McElroy

has well-defined policies prohibiting discrimination on the basis of race.
She decides to attend a campus event. The organizers forbid her entry
because of her skin color: white.
