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]

Samizdata quote of the day We have a free press and this freedom of expression is a vital and indispensable part of our democracy and this is the reason why I cannot control what is published in the media
– Danish Prime Minister Anders Fogh Rasmussen

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.

Nice to see our Foreign Secretary standing up for our principles again… Or should I say, his constituents’?
Hmmm, I don´t see much rallying beneath the banner of free speach tonight….. What is going on? Why are the US and UK foreign secretaries denouncing the cartoons?
Gormie:
because we really don’t believe in freedom of speech in our countries either. Don’t believe? Try checking out the “speech codes” on the average college campus.
What troubles me the most as a dane is that the UK and US governments actually issued statements. We are starting to feel a little isolated around here and if you can´t say anything in support of your allies (be it EU fellow citizens or long-term strategic partners), don´t say anything at all….
