Yesterday's Mashed Potatoes
by L. Neil Smith
As I have said and written on many occasions, I don't mind so much
that relative newcomers to the Libertarian Party and movement insist on reinventing the
wheel, as much as that they keep reinventing it square. Regrettably, ours is a
community with absolutely no provision for recording its own history or for educating its latest initiates.

On Opposing the Investigatory Powers Bill: A Waste of Effort?
by Sean Gabb
Here in Britain, the main effect of the Brussels bombings will be to
speed passage of the Investigatory Powers Bill. This will require communications service
providers to store all our Internet activity for a year, and to make it available to the
authorities in circumstances that will not always require a warrant. I will say, for the
avoidance of doubt, that I regard this as a very bad Bill, and I will briefly outline my objections to it.

The Truth Is Out
by A.X. Perez
Caetano v. Massachusetts settles one issue. SCOTUS will not
tolerate what can best be described as fantasy based challenges to the Second Amendment.
They are throwing out the "Not invented before 1794" argument and the too weird argument
as well as the not suitable for militia service argument.

A Modified Kalam Cosmological Argument for the Existence of God
by Don Templeton
The nature of science is empirical. “Scientific materialism makes the
epistemological assumption that the empirical method of science is the only reliable procedure
for obtaining knowledge as well as the metaphysical assumption that physical stuff (i.e., matter
and energy) is the ultimate reality of the universe.” (1) Religion, on the other hand, deals
with questions that cannot readily be tested for truth using empirical devices. “Since
religion, metaphysics, and even ethics refer to non-empirical or nonsensory realities, the
statements within these disciplines are considered pseudo-statements with no cognitive meaning.”
(2) While Ian Barbour has identified four ways in which to try and assign a relationship between
religion and science (conflict, independence, dialogue, and integration), the divide detailed above is the most fundamental.

History Lesson
by L. Neil Smith
As you are probably aware, the War Between the States was not a
civil war, and had little or nothing to do with slavery, which only became a propaganda
side-issue well into the war. It was fought at the behest of a northeastern industrial
establishment that wanted to tax the South to support its control of the nation, that
wanted to consolidate that control over the South and the West, and was unwilling to
pay world prices for the raw materials supplied by the South.

Chris R. Tame: Ten Years After
by Sean Gabb
When Samuel Johnson died, his friend William Hamilton commented: “He
has made a chasm, which not only nothing can fill up, but which nothing has a tendency to fill
up. Johnson is dead. Let us go to the next best:—there is nobody; no man can be said to put
you in mind of Johnson.” It is now ten years since the death of Chris R. Tame, Founder and
first Director of the Libertarian Alliance. I can think of nothing more fitting that to repeat those words.

It Cometh from the Pit: And Hath a Knout
Posted on March 23, 2016 by Fred Reed
Once upon a time there was a fairy kingdom that lived inside
a place called The Beltway, and was surrounded on all four
sides by a land called America. The Beltway was aligned with
another kingdom called Manhattan, inhabited by disembodied
heads that spoke from the walls of bars, and with with yet
another closed kingdom called Hollywood, the abode of half-
educated narcissists. These kingdoms were in eternal
political syzygy, and spoke not with the people of the
surrounding lands, of whom they knew nothing. The following
is a chronicle of what befell them, and why.
