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]

Aeryn SunWhat Farscape Character are you?

…hmmmm. Whilst I do rather ‘admire’ Aeryn Sun (or rather Claudia Black), I’m not so sure I want to be her… I was rather hoping to be ‘Ka D’ Argo’.

Did you come here looking for two particular articles?

· Opinions on liberty

As they are both about to drop off the front page and we are still getting visitors looking for them…

The article mentioned by Kathleen Parker:

…To those suffering anger deficiency, click over to http://www.samizdata.net/blog (linked by Instapundit.com) to jump-start your moral outrage. The Web log features a photo – of a man plunging headfirst from one of the towers – that ought to help us remember exactly what no one deserves…

The article Kathleen refers to is called News from another universe.

And the article mentioned by James Bennett:

…However, after I returned to my office, I began looking at some of the Web logs I like to follow. On one, samizdata.net, there was a modest little posting. Perry de Havilland, one of the site’s contributors, based in the posh London neighborhood of Chelsea, had walked out at lunchtime, and had been stuck by the fact that “shop after shop are displaying signs saying words to the effects of ‘At 1:46 p.m. today, we will be observing two minutes silence in remembrance of the atrocities on September 11th of last year in the United States.’ Others are expressing memorial sentiments, still others just displaying small American flags.”…

The article James refers to is called The real England speaks.

Just another fine service from samizdata.net!
