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]

Liberty in a liberal setting LIBERTY 2002: The European Conference of the Libertarian International and the Libertarian Alliance. This event will take place Saturday/Sunday November 9th/10th 2002 – 10.00am-6.00pm, at the National Liberal Club, Whitehall Place, London SW1A 2HE, England.
It costs £75 for the entire weekend, and if you’ve got that sort of cash to spare and you want to meet a throng of like-minded people including a truly excellent slate of speakers, face-to-face (remember that idea), then it’s a bargain.
It is especially attractive when you consider that the event is taking place in one of London’s most splendid buildings. And it’s our building, for it dates back to the time when liberal meant liberal. We can’t permanently reclaim it, but we can at least occupy it for one weekend. The staircase alone is worth the entrance money.
Follow the link above for booking and payment details, and to see the excellent list of speakers, and to find further links to their websites.

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.

I hope this isn’t a requirement for being Libertarian:
Candidate turned himself blue

But noticing the colo(u)r of choice for your website….
Sandy, that’s right, from now on, non-attendance at major LI/LA events will mean forfeiture of the label “libertarian”.
I knew there was something I’d forgotten to include. What can I say? I’m in a rush to get away on my holiday …
I am greatly looking forward to attending Liberty 2002! Samizdata will be well represented there I suspect.
I might see if I can make it down to London too. Maybe some of the rather decorous Samizdata ladies wllbe there? Then again, I rather doubt my ‘better half’ would let be sneak down to London without her 🙂
