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]

Possible light blogging… …as many of the Samizatistas are locked in deadly contests with several bottles of excellent Port at a party at Samizdata HQ tonight
Update: (from MJ)
David Carr was particularly cutting at the party in question. (Of course, he could get ten years for this)..

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.

I bought a large kitchen knife at my supermarket recently. When it went through the scanner, a big alert flashed up on the screen saying “Check ID!!” Apparently one should be 18 if wishing to puchase a kitchen knife. The spotty kid behind the counter, who probably had about four years to wait before he could legally buy alcohol and vote, found himself thrust into the role as nanny and sadly didn’t know where to look.
