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]

What? A National Weapons Service?

I just want to say that I am deeply annoyed by the remarks made in the letter from Peter Barker below. This man actually expects to be subsidised to enable him to buy his weapons of choice. Well, I have just one message for your, Mr.Barker: if you want a state-of-the-art fighter-bomber then you just jolly-well get a job, save up your money and buy it yourself. Sponger!!

[Editor: in the crazed Mr. Barker’s defence, he was only appealing for private sector investors, not state aid, in the matter of financing his purchase of the required armoured vehicle and (single) tactical nuclear device. Peter, my cheque is in the mail. Is this going to be a time-share kind of deal: I get the play with the nuke while you drive the tank?]
