Over the next few weeks, Your Mighty Editor and I, your friendly neighborhood cyberpublisher, are planning a number of themed issues of The Libertarian Enterprise.

Viruses, Tapeworms, and Trojans, Oh My!

The first issue arises from the fact that my lovely and talented wife Cathy managed to pick up one of the nastiest computer pathogens I've ever heard of. It has cost her a month of evenings tinkering and she's still not entirely sure she's rid of it. Somebody has made her very angry.

This, I can tell you from my own experience, is a mistake.

So for our first themed issue, I'd like to see non-technical articles and letters on this peculiar phenomenon. Who writes the damn things and why? In libertarian terms, precisely what ethical breach are they guilty of? What is an appropriate way to deal with such individuals?

I wish it were possible to rewrite their nasty little pets so that they'd crawl back home somehow and utterly destroy their creators' computers.

But that's just me.

Get a rope.

Airport Crimes Against the Constitution

Having just heard about a wonderful new color-coding system that the Transportation Slavery Administration is trying out on their cattle in Salt Lake City and Denver (one wonders why they don't just tattoo numbers on the forearms of frequent flyers), I think a themed issue that could be called "Free America's Airports" is more than appropriate.

Enough is enough. It isn't bad enough that 99 percent of American history is a lie, everything most people believe about 9/11 and the years after is false, especially the potential role of armed airline passengers.

Anybody with an IQ larger than his shoe size knows that a single individual on each plane armed with a .22 pistol or revolver would have put an immediate end to the 9/11 hijackings before they ever began. Anybody with more sense than an eggplant understands that the "security" measures being imposed today are a dirty and destructive joke.

Please send us your articles and letters about radically reforming airline travel in America. If you've read my novels The Probability Broach or The Venus Belt, you'll know exactly what I mean. If you have ideas on boycotting the airlines or on any other way to end the fascist airport farce, we want to see them—and show them to the world.

My Little Pony

That's what I'm going to call my contribution to our third themed issue—it'll be more fun than the other two—what's your favorite firearm?

I'm primarily a handgun guy—a handgun, after all, is the weapon that you actually have with you when you need it—and that's what I'd like to see the most of in this issue, although I won't rule out rifles and shotguns altogether. Tell us what you like about yours, what you don't like about it, regale us with any adventures you may have had with it—provided the statute of limitations has run out. If you have a photo, we'll try to run some of those, too. I personally find that the best way to photograph most handguns is on a flatbed scanner.

Please send what you produce to Ken Holder (editor@ncc-1776.org) and be sure to copy our new copy editor, the also lovely and talented Curt Howland (Howland@Priss.com). You know, it'll be kind of like a party!

I'm looking forward to it!
