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]

Samizdata quote of the day 
Oh never talk again to me
Of northern climes and British ladies;
It has not been your lot to see,
Like me, the lovely girl of Cadiz
Although her eye be not of blue,
Nor fair her locks, like English lasses,
How far its own expressive hue
The languid azure eye surpasses !
– George Gordon, Lord Byron

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.

Lasses and surpasses? Dear oh dear!
Pay no attention, Byron would shag anything.
You mean he was an equal-opportunity shagger?
The lass in the black dress looks distinctly Brit to me.
It is nice to get away from post-modern Anglo-Saxon death despair. To where dreams can fill the air with delight, laughter and music. Where poetry and grace can seem natural. If soccer culture and socialism have not caught up and wrought their soul-death.
Please tell me this was a joke. John B – the one in the black dress also looks distinctly British to me. Fat. Benefits. Flying on employed people’s money, aka “benefits”.
That’s what I said, Verity. She looks distinctly Brit.
However, on reflection I think I am wrong. They both have the flirty innocence unlikely to be found with British girls.
But the attitude is somewhat corrupted though. It’s the universal norms spread by that dread disease propagator: Television and associated media.
Cadiz is a gracious but crumbling city. The oldest in Europe, I think.
It’s dockers can get mega vicious on strike though. All of Andalucia has a strong communist influence.
What a sad mixed bag it all is.
“There was a young girl from Logroño…”
I prefer my heathen Chinee babe!
