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]

Justice above all Another important advance was made today in the War Against Terror:
Three men have been found guilty of masterminding a dissident republican bombing campaign in England two years ago which injured several people and caused millions of pounds worth of damage.
Guilty as charged! Whatever the length of their sentence it will not be long enough. Throw them to the dogs, I say. We must give no quarter when dealing with these murderous terrorist scumbags.
Among the targets were the BBC Television Centre in White City, west London.
On the other hand, we should never lose sight of the fact that among the most important characteristics of our civilisation is the quality of mercy and the capacity to forgive.

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.

Apologies for hitting post when I meant to hit preview… and yes it *is* dilemma.. and I *did* mean to say: Six months bound over to keep the peace, maybe?
Naughty, naughty, David! You made me spray coffee on the monitor again!
That’s the kind of situation for which the word “ambivalence” was created !
