Where Do We Go From Here?*
by L. Neil Smith
The October, 2003 issue of Discover contains one of
the saddest letters I’ve ever read. Gil Bell, of Duluth, Georgia, writes “
… one would have to conclude that travel out of our solar system is
impossible. The fusion, fission, and antimatter engines require too much
fuel … The laser sail is doomed by the fact that building a
6,600-mile-wide collecting mirror is simply not feasible, and … a
600-mile-wide sail would be torn apart by cosmic debris on a daily basis.
And why build a fusion ramjet when there’s no fuel in space to run it, and
its design would not allow it to attain the speed it needs?

This Little Light of Mine
by Sarah A. Hoyt
The time has come to speak of many things, none of them as
romantic as wax seals and kings, let alone dodos, but all of them things
that must be talked about. And I don’t mean just on this blog, or just by
me.

An Agenda for Boris Johnson
by Sean Gabb
In February 20095, I was invited to speak to a meeting
of Conservative Future. In this, I explained what a government of
conservatives would need to do if it wanted to take and keep power. At the
time, I was shouted down in horror. The Conservative Government, formed a
year later, paid no attention to my advice. I doubt if the Johnson
Government will pay any attention. However, I send the speech out just in case.

Mothering Millenials Book Review
by Jim Davidson
Your adult child is living at home. Why is that? There are
many reasons for the situation, but one of the key reasons is: you have not
committed to your child's independence. It certainly is not your fault, but
if you perceive that it is a problem, there is a good book to read.

Healthy Patriotism
by Sean Gangol
I know that there are libertarians who frown upon the
concepts of patriotism and nationalism because they consider these traits to
be nothing more than an unhealthy worship of the state. I don’t necessarily
agree with this stance, since I don’t believe that there is anything wrong
with loving your country and the values that made it great. I am also not
afraid to call this country exceptional. While I have never ventured outside
the United States, I have heard accounts from many who regularly travel
overseas that there are first-world countries who haven’t quite mastered the
art of good plumbing, good toilet paper and in some cases good hygiene. As
Penn Jillette once put it, “Nothing will make you love America more than
overseas travel.”

The Bright Side of a Situation That Never Had One
by Harding McFadden
I’m in the early stages of a new story (book? Not sure.
We’ll see), and part of that research is looking into early Soviet history.
This has led me to consider a number of books (note: if you happen to know
of any particularly good, though not too cumbersome, volumes, let me know:
I’m on Facebook and Mewe), each one of which I did a bit of looking into.
More the writers than the books at first. I didn’t want to saddle myself up
with some kind of Communist apologist monologue that in any way attempts to
make the Reds look like anything other than they were: an evil menace. When
the late Ronald Reagan called them “The Evil Empire,” he spoke arguably the
greatest truth even uttered by a President, and a breath of fresh air after
the placating, “Please don’t nuke us” ridiculousness of his immediate
predecessor. To try to make this Evil Empire look like anti-heroes or,
worse, protagonists in the story of civilization, is unforgivable.
