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 slogan of the day I found while driving in Wyoming that wearing a stetson and driving a beat-up pickup meant you could go as fast as you like, while the police picked up Californian winnebagos that went one mph over 55. After all, they wanted to bring money into the state, not merely circulate it.
-Terry Pratchett

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.

Yippie-ki-yay!
HAHAHAHAHA!!!
I hear that the winnebagos were solar powered and were going down-hill.
Think of the environmental damage if the hotel-on-wheels hit the pick-up!
Where are you getting all these wonderful Pratchett quotes from?
Sounds about like Wyoming. Sounds like most of the Western U.S. actually. I live in Arizona, and if there is one thing you do not do in Arizona, it is speed with Cali plates on your car. But hey, when your speed limit is 75 MPH on the interstate, there isn’t all that much need to go much faster. (You Germans with your autobahn can pooh-pooh me all you like, 80 – 85 MPH is plenty fast enough to get me where I’m going in the land of tumbleweeds and saguaros.
As a Wyoming resident I fully support allowing all California Winnebagos to speed, provided that they are headed OUT of Wyoming.
Besides, since Wyoming is home to the annual Wind Festival (held from Jan 1 to Dec. 31 each year) any Winnebago driver would be smart to speed, so as to make it quickly through the state before he gets blown off the road.
