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]

Capitalism oppresses women… Not There’s a market for “date rape” drugs and now a market for “anti-date rape drug” devices. Drink Safe Technology is producing ‘smart coasters’ which sniff chemical interference with drinks.
“You can carry this in your purse, take your drink to the bathroom with you, test it out, and if it comes out positive, you know something’s wrong with that guy you were talking to,” said Janita Patrick, a San Jose State University student. “Keep walking and get away.”

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.

Yeah, right, like I am going to take the drink with me to the bathroom. I’ll stick to my strategy of drinking fine wine only and keeping an eye on the bottle.
Except that a test of this and similar devices on Radio 4 a couple of days ago showed that they failed to detect a third of spiked drinks…
The May 30, 2002 issue of The Economist has an article about a company using beer mats or paper coasters impregnated with chemicals to test for drugs. Just dip your finger into your drink and touch it to the paper.
With respect,
CAPITALISM has never existed. It is an passive ISM
invented by SOCIALISTS, to signify a society not
governed by SOCIALISTS.

And, because it does not exist, it cannot oppress
any body.
