We are developing the social individualist meta-context for the future. From the very serious to the extremely frivolous... lets see what is on the mind of the Samizdata people.
Samizdata, derived from Samizdat /n. - a system of clandestine publication of banned literature in the USSR [Russ.,= self-publishing house]

Enviroloons .vs. Femiloons With the whole world apparently in a state of flux and a preponderance of gloomy prognoses, it gives me joy to be able to report just a smidgeon of good news:
Feminists and environmentalists, social pressure groups which usually see eye to eye, have clashed over a shock poster campaign on the streets of Paris and other French cities.
The poster shows a woman’s breast dribbling a dirty, oily fluid. There is no caption or explanation, other than the name of a private, ecological foundation, run by a celebrated television journalist and green campaigner, Nicolas Hulot.
No show-trials or North Korean-style denouncements yet but give it time.
More please and faster.

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.

“Large, battered-looking breast.”
I’ve long hoped that the hyper-eclecticism of the anti-freedom Left would eventually cause serious ruptures in its ranks. Enough to start some vicious cross-denunciations, destructive internal competition, and the dissolution of its preternaturally firm coalitions. Perhaps we’ll start to see that now.
Pity it had to begin in France, though.
Ummmm…no, thanks. I don’t believe I’ll have any coffee this morning.
Its not what you imagine… it’s really testing the water for a new waitressing gimmick… to combat the “freedom fries”: The full picture shows HP Sauce (brown) on the left and Tomato Ketchup on the right… and a happy drooling customer somewhere in the middle 😉
“The full picture shows HP Sauce (brown) on the left and Tomato Ketchup on the right… ”
But where’s the batter? The menu promised battered breast.

Inside the happy customer 😉
David Carr:
…Uhhhh…David…Just between us guys…Is there something you want to talk about? Have you been “preoccupied” with “other matters”? It seems to me there has been a commom theme in your recent postings (as well as this post look here and here)…Does anyone else see a “trend” here?
😉
MayDay72,
Oh my word, you’re right. And it was subliminal which makes it worse!!
I’ve got Freudian thing going down!!!!
Kinda works for every loonie left cause…
like ‘lift the Iraqi sanctions so mothers milk can make it to children’ ( but I guess now that the French oil fields are pumping to make money for Iraqi’s instead of the UN or France that’s kinda dated ) or
maybe this should be a caption contest?

Non-assistance à planète en danger
Du sein de la mère nourricière, symbole de la pureté, s’écoule un lait pollué. Cette image, qui sans doute vous choquera, c’est le constat de l’état d’urgence de notre planète où l’essence même de la vie est en danger. Elle n’a qu’un objectif : faire réfléchir chacun sur son rôle et sa capacité à agir de façon individuelle et collective pour inverser une tendance destructrice
