EDITORIAL MATTERS:

A NOTE FROM THE PUBLISHER

Phoebus Krumm, an exciting new space pirate graphic novel (if I say so myself) begins this week at www.BigHeadPress.com, with new pages appearing every Monday, Wednesday, and Friday. The first five pages, gorgeously rendered by Scott Bieser and the artist known as ~3~ are there for you right now!

There is nothing like this story, anywhere else in the Known Galaxy. A sequel to my text novels Henry Martyn, Bretta Martyn, and The WarDove, it concerns the famous starsailing captain and his desperate mission across the stars for Ceo Lia Woodgate of the Monopolity of Hanover.

Along the way, we'll meet new characters and old, see beautiful girls attending ruthless, powerful men in the pursuit of immortality, and fight our way through space battles, personal combat, and the even greater dangers attendant upon romance!

Two Items of Interest
by L. Neil Smith
I guess this has been my week to reconsider some judgments I've made about a couple of people over the last few years, and to point out work they've done that may ultimately prove to be extremely important in the cause of individual liberty.

Another Subsidy
by Jim Davidson
I very much enjoyed L. Neil Smith's latest essay on the Light of Liberty. He is correct throughout about the nature of the light bulb and its vital importance to free people.

Re: Andrew G. Eggleston Sr. sent you a message on Facebook...
by Brian Singer
Andrew Eggleston is a friend of mine. He recently wrote a quick note to me asking, "You sounded a trifle pissed, you okay bro? I know its probably just SNAFU but you can comm with real people back in The World if you need to vent. -- Andrew" I began to respond, and by the end, I realized that I wanted more people than just my friend Andrew to hear what I had to say. I composed the following:

What Gold Says
by Jim Davidson
What is gold telling us? It just went over $1002 on the Hong Kong market. What does that mean as a practical matter? For one thing, it means the value of the dollar is declining. The dollar is down against many other currencies, such as the Japanese yen.

Strange Bedfellows
A single-minded analysis of Gay marriage

by Justin Thyme
When you see two gay guys standing at an altar about to get hitched, think about it. Would you want anyone's daughter marrying one? I mean I don't mind allowing gays a little fun but think of the children! Or think of two lesbians in a relationship. This is a lot easier for us heterosexual males. After she ends up sleeping with all those women and ends up pregnant and wondering who the father is. It makes you want to support mixed marriages -- a male and a female. Or to accommodate lesbians one man and two women.

The Stockholm Syndrome For States
by Russell D. Longcore
According to Wikipedia, the "Stockholm Syndrome" is a psychological response sometimes seen in abducted hostages, in which the hostage shows signs of loyalty to the hostage-taker, regardless of the danger or risk in which they have been placed. The syndrome is named after a 1973 bank robbery in which the bank robbers held bank employees hostage for six days. In this case, the victims became emotionally attached to their captors, and even defended them after they were freed from their six-day ordeal. This time, the captor is the Federal Government in Washington, and the 50 states are its captives.

Not Enough Guns
by Jim Davidson
Larken Rose was recently quoted on a friend's profile to the effect that 90 million Americans own guns. I find this figure laughable. It is far too low.

I love obscene phone calls!
by phone phreak Don Meinshausen
Nowadays there is no more privacy. So I just might as well admit it. All my other guilty pleasures are illegal or politically incorrect. However this one just might get by, at least by liberals. It releases all types of unhealthy emotions. It's stimulating. It's free. And it's good for everyone. And best of all they ask for it. They actually beg for it. So here I can give them all the abuse they have been giving others. They deserve it and it does give me a sadistic satisfaction even though it's just over the phone.

The Fallacy of Empire
by Jim Davidson
There's a mistaken idea about history that is persisting. The pursuit of this mistaken idea is ruining many things and destroying many millions of lives. This idea has to be put to rest.
