of us with rifles still get to vote.

Of Kings and Capitalism
by L. Neil Smith
There are two Americas. People who live in other countries and don't know this, need to understand it. People who live in this country are even less likely to be aware of the difference, although, if there is to be a tolerable future—or any future at all—they're going to have to deal with it. And soon.

Motorcycle Madness
by Paul Bonneau
I just got done putting my bike back together from the usual winter maintenance time. This time has become less and less pleasurable over the years. Time for an old fart's rant, I guess.

Neale's Weekly Gun Rant, Volume 7
by Neale Osborn
Gabby Giffords, who was rated good on guns til she was shot by Loughner, has taken the defeat of the gun control (properly speaking, victim disarmament) bills last week is firing back at the Senators who helped to kill it. I'm tossed up over even mentioning this. On the one hand, she took a bullet to the head, with any brain damage that entailed, and you can understand her new-found distaste for guns in general. But personal tragedy does not automatically mean that you should promptly advocate stripping rights from others in reaction. Overall, between her flipping and her husband's idiocy over his AR15 a few weeks ago, I'd call this a fail-fail situation.

Dust off that old Ruger
by Paul Bonneau
I had years ago come into an old Ruger 10/22. It was not a gun that interested me, and it was missing a rear sight anyway; so it sat forlornly in the back of a closet, neglected.

Glenn Greenwald: The Boston Bombing Produces Familiar And Revealing Reactions
Posted by Dave Hummels

Regardless of your views of justification and intent: whatever rage you're feeling toward the perpetrator of this Boston attack, that's the rage in sustained form that people across the world feel toward the US for killing innocent people in their countries. Whatever sadness you feel for yesterday's victims, the same level of sadness is warranted for the innocent people whose lives are ended by American bombs. However profound a loss you recognize the parents and family members of these victims to have suffered, that's the same loss experienced by victims of US violence. It's natural that it won't be felt as intensely when the victims are far away and mostly invisible, but applying these reactions to those acts of US aggression would go a long way toward better understanding what they are and the outcomes they generate.

A note from L. Neil Smith:

William Grigg: "An Explanation and Appeal." Please Help!

I don't often join in appeals like this, but I believe it's important that we help this great writer. I've gone through this very process myself, and would have lost a foot if it hadn't worked. I'm sending him money right now. We'll also run this in _The Libertarian Enterprise_ this weekend.

Even if you can't afford to help financially, please
spread thos message far and wide.
