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]

    That’s got to be somewhere in Japan.

    Is that a woman wearing an islamic head scarf? If so, the composition of the photo is just awesome considering The Donald’s stated aversion to Muzzies! 😀

    I hear the tread of the approaching Stay-Puft Marshmallow Man.

    Yup. I agree with Prog.

    I can’t guess the destination, but I’m thinking, for some reason I can’t quite fathom, that the purpose of the trip is something to do with a poetry recital.

    Phelps – in that case, Byzantium. Anything but the version sanctified my must have a camel at a trot, the well known chain-smoking animal fancier.

    I’m wondering what percentage of Americans don’t know where Trump is from.

    On second thought, I don’t want to know, I might become depressed.

    From Wiki,

    “In June 2016, Turkish President Erdogan has been reported to call for the removal of the Trump name from the towers, saying “[Trump] has no tolerance for Muslims living in the US.”

    My question is, why does anyone non-Islamic owe respect and tolerance towards Islam when Islam tolerates and respects nothing non-Islamic?

    BTW, I heard a rumor today. (Joke)
    Hillary was working at a bank. The bank was robbed. It was an inside job, and she robbed the bank. Investigators interviewed her on video, and she repeatedly said she didn’t rob the bank. She lied about robbing the bank. Her lawyers intentionally deleted the camera footage that would prove she robbed the bank. No charges were filed, even though there is evidence that she robbed the bank. Why? They couldn’t prove that she knew was wrong to rob banks. They couldn’t prove that she intended to commit a crime when she robbed the bank, destroyed evidence that would prove she robbed the bank and lied about it later repeatedly.

    Another rumor.
    She was piss-drunk and ran over a 5yr old girl, lied about it and went home.
    No charges were filed because investigators can’t prove that she intended to murder 5yr old children.

    Did she break the law?
    Yes,
    Was she negligent?
    At minimum…yes.
    Will she be charged with criminal negligence?
    Of course not.
