Yes it’s barbaric but other then those who participate (by choice) who is it harming?

I tell you that it will harm those whose livelihood depend upon bull fighting

More then two people have asked me about the podcast where Gard interviewed Ed Joyce & myself on geolibertarianism.

I think as we put over the concept over pretty concisely it would be a good listen for people

Hopefully if Gard is willing a roundtable discussion via Skype could be arranged in the near future.

Considering that there are an awful lot of libertarians who seem to think anybody of a different mindset is a socialist, I guess the question to libertarians should be care they able to empathize with those who have a different political mindset then their own?

I’m sorry to say that there are libertarians who slap somebody down as a socialist or statist without really trying to understand as to why that somebody might not be a libertarian.

I doubt anybody across the pond will know of Alex Higgins but I've no doubts that Wayne does

Anyways here is my tribute to the man

Citizen X,

Good job on Freedom Watch.  I only wish the Judge hadn't had the vile statist Ann Coulter on.  He could have given you the extra time and not asked you such softball questions.

The invasion of Iraq "substantially" increased the terrorist threat to the UK, the former head of MI5 has said.

I hope those who supported the war can sleep easy at night when thinking about the victims of 7/7.

Bolt the 100m record holder was due to attend an athletics meeting next month at Crystal Palace but due to new tax laws he’s backed out.

Basically he would have been taxed on the money he of won for winning whatever race, but now the government has changed the tax laws so that he’d have to pay 50% of his total earnings depending on the number of days he’s in the country.

I don’t see how that is fair he doesn’t live here, he doesn’t use the NHS, he doesn’t send any kids to state schools, any car he would ride in would of paid road tax.

I wonder if any FIJA activists have made the list...

"I already belong to a health club, a church, and the Kiwanis Club," Tammy Golden of Los Angeles wrote. "I'm a member of the Von's Grocery Super Savers, which gets me a discount on certain groceries. These are all well-managed organizations with real benefits. None of them send me a confusing bill once a year and make me work it out myself, then throw me in jail if I get it wrong."

I don't doubt that spies still exist cause most governments would love to get an advantage over each other when they are not getting an advantage on their own people. Why is this happening now I'm asking myself because it is a bit odd. This serves as a good distraction to the situation in the Gulf of Mexico, Iraq and Afghanistan. Here's a link to one of the local articles about the spy ring case. http://www.lohud.com/article/20100628/NEWS/6280375/10-arrested-on-charge-of-spying-for-Russia?obref=obinsite

Hey all!

I know I may be in the minority, on this board, when I say that I believe in man-made climate change. However, for those open to all sides of the debate (which I know ye conspirators to be!) here's a wonderful article from my publisher, Snowbooks, which perfectly captures my thoughts on the matter:

A while back I tried explaining geolibertarianism to the FTL boys, Mark kind of got it but Ian definitely didn’t get it. It was a thought of my mate Ed Joyce that though geolibertarianism is a concept born in the US, because its more applicable here in Britain due to the specific history of this country.

But it appears that the Free State Project have heard of geolibertarianism, but whether the likes of Ian Freeman & others would welcome geolibertarians is another question.

Have your news outlets been reporting on the situation in Kyrgyzstan? I think I only found out about the ongoing riots through Russia Today on youtube and one of the Lew Rockwell.
