Gender is too important an issue to be left to people who think it’s more important than anything else.

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.

There’s coincidence, for you! I just read the passage on Lileks’ Bleat page, and the Christmas Screed which he was defending in the statement, and my very next click was to Samizdata, where I read this post. I can tell you, it gave me a delectable frisson of synchronicity.
Lileks’ Christmas Screed had me howling. I have sworn to memorize his paragraph on insincerity (referring to the Christmas party jackass) and, with minor edits, thoroughly intend to plagiarize it, with vigor akimbo, the next time I encounter one of these purveyors of miserablism.
I noticed Lileks hasn’t gotten around to permalinking this Screed in the archive yet, but you can link to it directly here:
Lileks’ Christmas Screed
And a very Merry Christmas to you!
