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.

Substitute bear spray for the fart spray and I’m getting one!
Mark Rober has managed to turn nerdy pursuits into a YouTube empire – talk about a self-made man. Watch some of his ‘elephant’s toothpaste’ videos, I defy you not to smile.
If ever we get a ‘porch pirate’ out here in the boondocks, as bobby b. suggests, they’re leaving soaked in bear spray. After all – who they gonna call to complain? I did hear tell of a ‘porch pirate’ in Detroit who was caught and took a serious beating in consequence – not condoning it but I bet the incidence of porch piracy dropped as a result.
Merry Christmas, one and all.

Elsewhere, on the interwebs it has been put forward that ‘Peace and goodwill to all men’, may not actually be Catholic doctrine. The latin text, “…gloria in altissimis Deo et in terra pax hominibus bonae voluntatis”.
Translates to; “Glory to God in the highest; and on earth peace to men of good will.”
Which, has a subtle and somewhat different meaning.
Merry Christmas and a happy new year!
Interesting point APL.
Still – goodwill to all people here.
Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year.

1. That they still have porches in Detroit is heartening.
2. That a thief was caught is heartening. The moral code is universal.
Mr Ed agreed – on both points.
