Who Are We?The Samizdata people are a bunch of sinister and heavily armed globalist illuminati who seek to infect the entire world with the values of personal liberty and several property. Amongst our many crimes is a sense of humour and the intermittent use of British spelling. We are also a varied group made up of social individualists, classical liberals, whigs, libertarians, extropians, futurists, ‘Porcupines’, Karl Popper fetishists, recovering neo-conservatives, crazed Ayn Rand worshipers, over-caffeinated Virginia Postrel devotees, witty Frédéric Bastiat wannabes, cypherpunks, minarchists, kritarchists and wild-eyed anarcho-capitalists from Britain, North America, Australia and Europe.

Isn’t this just Ethics 101?
“When conducting oneself individually, follow a code of ethics….internationaly, there is no code of ethics.”
How about?: Peace – in international affairs, a period during which wars are fought, but not televised.
For the 2002 edition.
I think Brian is right. The U.S. seems bent on creating a multitude of wars the people don’t want, and conveniently forgetting to tell the people that they’re fighting them. The DoD is beat out only by social security for stealing taxpayer’s money. Can you imagine what kind of a boon to the economy an extra $400,000,000,000 not stolen from the people every year would create?
Perhaps I’m in the minority here, but it seems to me that any libertarian should respect the right of others not to be killed by our government.
Or how about this: “A time when academics blame the previous war on those nations that were invaded, distracting attention from the would-be invaders’ preparations for a rematch.”
