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]

An excellent way to limit government… Snakes.
A chance encounter? Perhaps not.
We need to try this in the UK as well. Releasing rabid pit bulls in Parliament (and then locking the doors with everyone inside) might be more culturally appropriate however.

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.

A few years ago the Governor of South Carolina tried something a little more tame. It didn’t work all that well. I think snakes are a much better idea.
Here’s the headline: “Snakes in a Trough”.
Releasing a mature, 20lb King Cobra in our legislatures…the poor thing would stand a chance with those serpents in suits.
“Snakes in the Immigration and Nationality Directorate”. I would certainly pay to see that. Then, come to think of it I would pay a great deal more to see “Snakes in the Identity and Passport Service”. Hell, I can imagine ten sequels before we have even left the Home Office.
I prefer the solution in Flynn’s book ‘Term Limits’, where Congressvarmits with big mouths, which lead to the death of several SEALS, are killed by ex-SEALS. A good book, but maybe the solution is impracticable for most.
tribbles + duck tape + phaser = some assembly required.

I do believe we already have rabid pitbull terriers in the UK parliament. One of them certainly masquerades under the name “Peter Mandelson”.
Note to pitbull terrier owners: please do not be offended by my comment.
It’s the bloody greens, again, caring more about snakes than people. Although I do wonder what “provided an alternative source of livelihood” means.
Wasn’t there supposed to be a ban on rickshaws in India in the name of modernisation? I wonder what became of that.
An ancient Celtic form of execution was to be thrown into a pit of poisonous snakes.
For obvious reasons, it would be impossible to punish Congresscritters using this method.
What have you got against rabid pit bulls? Don’t poison them on politicians! The dogs, after all, can’t help their natures, but politicians have some choice of career!
