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]

Sad news Heather “Momma Bear”, who has been an important figure in the early stages of the blog world, has died after a long battle against cancer. She has been a friend to a number of bloggers I know well, including fellow Pimlicoan Andrew Ian Dodge. She was quite a character. RIP.

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.

Important to note is that the British Crime Survey does not include offences against those under 16, or against businesses and commercial property.

Very sad news indeed. A greatly missed wit and a greatly missed mind.
She truly was a Momma Bear to the blog world. I had no idea she was ill. She is a figure none of us from the early days of war blogging will soon forget.
As was her want she only let a few know how very ill she was. We continued to chat via MSN until the final weeks of her life. She would be pleased to hear all the kind words that have been written about her and more than a little embarassed no doubt. I know she would appreciate your piece Jon.
