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]

Putting the boot in… The British commander of troops in the Gulf admitted yesterday that he had been forced to borrow a pair of American desert boots because of a foot injury. Air Marshal Brian Burridge, asked how he had come by the injury, replied: “Kicking a journalist.”

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.

By God, get his name and I’ll send him a pair myself. If it was Dan Rather, he’s getting the whole ensemble.
I speak for many Americans when I say that I’m proud one of our service people was so gracious with their footware … God knows there’s likely no more noble cause than helping a fellow soldier who sees the wisdom in booting a member of the press.
It’s a sad commentary on the status of “the press” in modern day life that we often consider them the enemy of the people, and the friend of every rinky-dink dictator around the world.
The correct terminology is not “consider them”, rather ‘we KNOW they are’ the enemy of the people.
I hope the journalist was down at the time. 😉
