THE CURRENT ISSUE

EDITORIAL MATTERS:

This issue has also been delayed slightly due to this and that. But now here it is. The Special Delayed Yet Again Edition!

There may or may not be an issue next week, due to my wife having heart surgery. Or not having heart surgery — she's developed an infection and things may have to be delayed while that clears up. Just one thing after another, is all.

The Last Test of Democracy: Part Four
The Great Moratorium

What's the True Source of our Right to Bear Arms?
by Paul Bonneau
There are some odd posts being made on gun forums these days. For example, "its people like you that will hand the white house to a commi democrat, who will select the next supreme court justice member.... and they will destroy the 2nd..." This, apparently an attempt to convince us to vote for McCain, that great protector of the 2nd Amendment. Here's another: "The jack booted feds will roll you (and me) up like an old carpet. If you think you can resist then you will join the ranks of the Branch Davidians and the martyrs of Ruby Ridge. All the good sheeple will fall in line or die." This is supposedly what will happen if Obama or Hillary gets elected.

Give Me That Old Time Religion
by A.X. Perez
Libertarians don't like the word sin. Why should we? Would be tyrants use the word quite a bit to try to force us to live life their way instead of our own. There is also the issue that what is sinful for one faith (eating meat on Friday during Lent for Catholics, Anglicans and Lutherans, for example) is not for others (Most Evangelical Protestants). Not to mention that there's always some spoilsport calling everything we like doing a sin. We don't like the word sin applied to or actions.
