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]

It seems that ‘People For the Ethical Treatment of Animals’ (PETA) feel that to be a good Christian, one must refrain from eating meat. There is even a Christian Vegetarian website.
Now as a libertarian, I regard vegetarianism as a totally acceptable life style choice for other people and I am not knocking it…however it is not something I choose to follow myself. I shall stick to my omnivorous ways.
I just have one question… if vegetarianism matters one jot to Christianity, then why did Christ perform the miracle of turning five loaves and two fishes into many in order to feed the multitude (Matthew 14)? Why not five loaves and two tofu cubes?
Wired magazine reports that the nuclear bomb documents found by Times journalists in an abandoned Al Qaeda house in Kabul might be spoof plans published by some gonzo pranksters several years ago.
This is indeed hilarious and it should now be clear to all that Al Qaeda are downloading everything on the Internet with the word ‘thermonuclear’ in it because they too are just misunderstood pranksters. We must stop bombing Afghanistan forthwith as it must now be clear that flying airliners into the WTC was just a good natured jape that got a little out of hand.
Similarly, the only reason they have been sending anthrax through the post is a simple linguistic misunderstanding: they were told to send Andrex (a brand of toilet tissue) but as English is not their first language, they got a little confused…hey, anyone can make a mistake!
Any day now, intelligence sources report we will soon hear that Osama will be calling on Bert from Sesame Street to replace slain Al Qaeda number two, Muhammed Atef, as Chief Deputy Prankster.
Beyond its entertainment value, Baywatch has enriched and, in many cases, helped save lives. I’m looking forward to the opportunity to continue with a project which has has such a significance for so many.

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.
