"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.

A question mark, because I wonder if there might be such a thing. I know there’s no single libertarian theory on anything, but I’m quite curious about this and so thought I’d start with the most deontological bunch of libertarians that I know. So can anyone tell me what the (or at least a) libertarian theory would be on law enforcement?  As a bit of background, I’ve recently been going through the work of H.H. Hoppe and Bruce Benson who make some pretty interesting cases for a market sector judiciary. I have no argument with this. It makes perfect sense to me. And anything we can take away from the state, the better. However, plausibly good outcomes from this approach require that the involved parties all have an interest in an amicable resolution.

I prefer to be in South Africa right now where the World Cup is being held because ironically I reckon they’d be less jino nationalism then there’s going to be here in England.

Its funny but 20 years ago it wasn’t as nad as it is now if you aren’t English living in England when the England football team qualify for the World Cup or the European Championships.

I’m already seeing the bumper stickers, the chavs wearing England garb & people flying England banners outside their homes, you know the World Cup is almost about to begin & there will be the reek of nationalism bearing upon all.

If law abiding citizens were allowed to bear arms then they'd need not have to cower in their homes they'd be able to protect themselves from whatever mad bastard who's perpetrated this.

but to say this in this country I'm counted as a kook

Walter Williams recently not so libertarian. He starts to attack so called illegal immigrants. http://ow.ly/1QRY7

http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/uk/8708115.stm A woman has refused to undergo cancer treatment is now being forced to undergo cancer treatment because supposedly she doesn’t have the intellectual capacity to make to make a valued judgement as to what’s best for her. Of course what is being meant by a valued judgement is a valued judgement in opinion of others & not her own opinion, in fact the means of her reaching a decision on what’s best for her is now being used against her. Its her body, her health, her lier life, her decision to make on what’s best for her 7 nobody else’s.

This one quote pretty much sums up all that anybody needs to know about anarchy

Anarchism... stands for liberation of the human mind from the dominion of religion; the liberation of the human body from the dominion of property; liberation from shackles and restraint of government. It stands for social order based on the free grouping of individuals.- Emma Goldman

When it comes to the issues of immigration  I hear many libertarians accuse opponents of free migration of being racists.  They usually use the quip, "you don't like brown people".  And when it comes to the issue of foreign interventionism, they likewise use the quip "bombing brown people".  These quips are cute and communicate to others that we're not racists, but they are counterproductive.

The Lib Dems a party whom I’ve been a member of & supported for over 15 years have now agreed to go into coalition government.

Other then the national coalition governments during the depression & the Second World War, this is the first time the liberals have been in power since the 1920s when there last was a Liberal/Conservative coalition led by David Lloyd George, who in himself was known as a radical liberal in his time.

I’m excited & apprehensive at the same time.

I guess many of the reforms that I’ve campaigned for will now be implemented but I’m sure in time I’ll have criticisms that those reforms won’t go far enough.

I know you guys will have criticisms well you can blame me.

Having listened to folks like Ziggy and Gard discuss and consider geolibertarianism, I've been considering the health care debate in the US. Here's two forms of alternative health-care models, therefore, that I could get behind:

Here's the picture I mentioned in the May 3rd podcast.
