To End War, Prepare For Peace
by L. Neil Smith
On the other side of the economic, geopolitical, and military
mess we find ourselves in right now (provided, of course, that we survive
it), certain things that we have done routinely as a civilization—or
that have been done to all of us—must be changed, radically and
permanently.

Getting It
by A.X. Perez
For those of you who are too young to remember, Brown v.
Board of Education shocked the segregationist South in ways unimaginable
today. They went into denial and didn't think the Feds would enforce desegregation
until the 101st Airborne showed up at Little Rock, Arkansas.

Party Like It's 1773
by Jim Davidson
This week the Boston Tea Party began endorsing candidates who
accept our smaller government platform. Since our party is not yet on the ballot

terrorist assemblies. Peace protesters, anti-death penalty activists, and
property rights advocates, for example. This time, it's the Maryland State
Police.

good question: "Okay, do we want freedom, or do we want politics?

Personal Judgement
by A.X. Perez
If you make enough midnight runs to the store or ATM you
are inviting trouble. That still doesn't change the need to run these errands.
Some risks, like drunk or sleepy drivers only require alertness and the judgement
to know whether to speed up, slow down, or swerve right or left. Hopefully you
are awake enough (and sober enough) to have these qualities.
