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]

The internet just got better If, like me, you avidly devour everything this man ever writes, but get a little impatient trawling the blogosphere seeking out his hitherto-elusive brilliance, then get ready to be happy.
Mark Steyn now has has his own website!
Now that’s what I call progress.

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.

Excellent, I’ve always enjoy his writings in the Spectator and Telegraph now I’ll check out his other work.
On a related them it’s worth poping along to the The Atlantic now and again and doing a search on PJ O’Rourke*. His recent piece on Egypt is excellent.
*I don’t mind paying £2.00 for a sandwich on bucket airlines btw!
Superb! Steyn ranks alongside O’Rourke as a “must-read” guy.
His article exposing Bush’s cozy relations with the Saudi’s despite all the evidence they are up to their necks on terrorism is an excellent piece.
Is it legal for Mr Stein to quote a man who writes that black people (13% of the population of the United States) commit half the murders in the U.S. (and that without them Americans are no more likely to kill each other than Canadians are)?
Surely this comes under “incitment to racial hatred” or some such law?
Funny, site now comes up as a spacereg.com ‘under construction’ page.
Ah. Oops. Not a problem with the site, but with a very annoying proxy server, which is about to get the HAL treatment.
