Hall-Pass Nation
by L. Neil Smith
“We have to regulate every aspect of people’s lives.”
—Councilman Jesse Dominguez
Santa Barbara City Council
I went out to a bar the other night to listen
to karaoke. Yeah, I do that. For some perverted reason, a young
lady near the entrance demanded that I produce identification.
Since I am plainly a 72-year-old man in a wheelchair, I felt that
this was peculiar and uncalled-for—especially since no other place
I go like this makes a similar demand—and if they couldn’t tell
that I was over 21, they didn’t really deserve my custom. The
people with me were upset—that I was upset—not that we were
all being treated unreasonably.

Hate Speech
by Sarah A. Hoyt
What is hate speech? A lot of places in
Europe—and Canada, our very own stray piece of Europe in the
Americas—have anti-hate speech laws, our tech giants are
desperately scrambling to enact anti-hate-speech here, and everyone
is very concerned about it. But what is hate speech?

Death to America?
by Sean Gabb
Talking about the future is often a sure
recipe for looking like a fool. However obvious it may seem to
us, nearly everything that happened in the past was unexpected at
the time. I am not aware of anyone in 1639 who believed the
Stuart State was about to collapse. Nor do I think anyone in 1788
predicted the occurrence and course of the French Revolution. The
course of the Great War repeatedly took all the clever men by
surprise. The difficulty with looking ahead is partly that most
of the facts are unknown, but partly that the facts already
established will be seen out of focus. We always tend to see the
world through the twin lenses of unreasonable fear and of wishful
thinking. For the world as it is, facts already established
provide some correction. For the world as it may be, the only
correction is to wait and see.

Fiscal Bliss*
by Jim Carter
“What difference does an increase in the
National Debt make? We owe it to ourselves. ” our typical
congress-critter has declared. Such a paraphrased statement,
reflecting on the exoskeleton structure of the Federal Reserve,
ignores the inner historic mechanisms of Rothschild banking, the
intense subterfuge and arm-twisting of the Fed’s creation, and the
proven destructive forces inherent but hidden therein.

The Fox Realization
by Harding McFadden
I’m not a hunter. It’s not that I have some
moral objection to hunting. That’s not it at all. It’s mostly
because I prefer hamburgers to steak, don’t like venison, and
prefer animals to most people. Don’t misunderstand: I’m not one
of those amoral freaks who’d rather see a landfill overflowing
with the corpses of their fellow humans than see one trophy head
mounted on someone’s den wall. I just don’t have the heart for
it. Makes me kind of a rarity where I live, let me tell you.

Anarchists Versus Anarchy
by J. Neil Schulman
Back in my salad days as a libertarian
activist, in Fall 1974, I organized the first-ever conference on
countereconomics—CounterCon I—featuring Samuel Edward Konkin III as
keynote speaker. In May, 1975, Sam, who supplemented his income as
a graduate student in theoretical chemistry at NYU by doing
commercial typesetting, typeset for me a full-page ad for
Countercon II—featuring both Sam and Robert LeFevre—that I wanted
to buy, advertising the second conference in the newsletter of
Laissez-Faire Books, then a brick-and-mortar bookstore on Mercer
Street in Greenwich Village, founded by Sharon Presley and John
Muller.

@Pamela Anderson: Animals Are Property
by L. Neil Smith
AUTHOR’S NOTE: a few days ago, I watched an
interview on FOX with media personality Pamela Anderson. Ordinarily I
wouldn’t have been interested in a woman famous mostly for her bra
size (well, almost wouldn’t), but she is a close personal
friend to Julian Assange, who is a big hero to me and my family. We
believe Donald Trump would not be President today, without the
whistle-blowing revolution Assange started. Given what happened to
him afterward—six years of exile and near solitary confinement in the
Ecuadorian embassy in London—he is also a persecuted martyr to the cause of liberty.
