"The Maine House and Senate voted nearly unanimously late last week to approve a joint resolution urging President Bush and the U.S. Congress to repeal the Real ID Act of 2005. During floor debate in both legislative chambers, lawmakers observed that the Real ID Act could cost state taxpayers upwards of $185 million to put in place."

"Liberty is won and preserved not primarily with guns, but with ideas. Spreading freedom requires that we spread an understanding of the benefits freedom brings, that we explain to whoever will listen how freedom is really in everyone’s best interest. In the course of trying to foster a greater appreciation of our ideas, however, we will inevitably come up against a wide array of mistaken beliefs that keep others from embracing our vision of a better world. If we wish to succeed in our efforts, we cannot leave these beliefs unchallenged."

"The issue of the Iraq war – and the question of whether imperialism is the proper foreign policy for a constitutional republic – is fast redrawing the political map and rearranging the political spectrum in ways that defy the traditional concepts of 'Left' and 'Right'."

"Saturday's demonstration in Washington was just one of more than 50 held around the country this weekend. In San Francisco, a protest against President Bush's plan to send 21,500 additional troops to Iraq turned out 5,000 demonstrators. In Los Angeles, thousands took to the streets, with many carrying signs that said 'Impeach Bush'."

"Fred Baille, a [boilerplate]-spewing spokesdrone for the DLA's Distribution Realization Policy Directorate (a suitably Soviet title for a police state agency), explains that through the LESO program, 'local' law enforcement agencies can receive 'excess' military gear of practically any description 'as if they were a DoD organization.' What this means, in practical and tangible terms, is that your local police has the same access to military hardware as any branch of the armed services. In everything but brand name, they're domestic appendages of the Pentagon."

"Not all public manias are acceptable. This one is. After a terror scare, the scared -- in this case Boston Mayor Thomas 'Mumbles' Menino, some Bostonians, and the national media -- don't ask whether they overreacted. This is impossible; you can never overreact to terrorism. Those terrified mayoral statements to cameras are defensible, not uninformed. Those bright, red, clanging news alerts are informing the public, not exploiting viewers' basest fears. Does the hyping of bomb threats make urbanites more skittish and more likely to report a souped-up lite brite as a 'suspicious device'? It doesn't matter."

"When I was growing up somewhere in the swamps of Jersey, I had a friend who would sometimes ask the following when things were blown out of proportion: 'Do you have to make a federal issue out of it?' I was reminded of this when I read that the US Supreme Court has agreed to hear the case of Morse and the Juneau School Board et al. v. Frederick."

"[T]his comes from somebody who as far as I can tell is a minarchist hack. But, in any event, it was quite fitting that such a comment was made, because I had been recently thinking that it’s logical that radical libertarianism – especially of the anarchist sort – will by necessity seem to would-be detractors as holding a substantial 'counter-cultural' coloring. What is clear is that this knee-jerk glorification of all things 'Middle America' – this 'Mainstream Libertarianism' – is a curious bauble indeed."

"If states make wars, it seems logical that negotiations among states are the natural pathway to peace among states. Talking and settling matters seems the opposite of warring over them, and besides, what else is there? But since war merely carries policy and political conflicts into another realm, negotiations and war are not opposites. They are not substitutes. As Clausewitz realized, they lie along the same continuum; and that continuum has to do with states trying to gain influence, advantages, and domination over one another. ... We need to look elsewhere than to states negotiating with one another to find pathways to peace. We need to get outside the continuum of domination. We need to get outside the box of states."

"My copy of Ed Stringham’s anthology Anarchy and the Law just arrived in the mail. (Amazon insists that the paperback isn’t available yet, but they’re wrong.) This nearly 700-page book is quite simply the definitive collection on free-market anarchism. Its forty chapters include contributions from Randy Barnett, Bruce Benson, Bryan Caplan, Roy Childs, Anthony de Jasay, David Friedman, John Hasnas, Hans Hoppe, Jeff Hummel, Don Lavoie, Murray Rothbard, the Tannehills, and many more, including even your humble correspondent."

"Beginning here in 2007, due to a prior congressional mandate, 'Daylight Saving Time' will end roughly a month earlier (the second Sunday in March), and begin later (the first Sunday in November). While this keeps this 'spring forward, fall back' foolishness out of our hair for eight months at a stretch, it's not good enough. It needs to end, period."

"[A] self-managed work unit has a lot more bargaining strength: it's considerably harder to replace your workforce with unskilled labor in the event of a walkout when production is planned by blue collar workers on the shop floor. This was one of the central attractions of automated control systems, like numeric control technology in the machine tool industry. It shifted control of production from master machinists on the shop floor to white-collar engineers in the managerial hierarchy."

"Secession is the separation of a large political unit into smaller political units. At first, it would seem that the libertarian should have nothing to do in terms of supporting a particular political group over another. Indeed, all politics implies the existence of a state, and the state is the institution of aggression. Why then should we favor secession? For one, secession puts local interests above those of faraway politicians. "

"Less reliance on others for enjoying the right to life. ... Because governments 'of the people' might decide that you are not one of the people." [Quite a good list of reasons.]

"The right to keep and bear arms is shaping up to be a potentially important point of mutual coalescence. I predict we will see the most onerous gun owner persecution coming from the authoritarian right in years to come, as a movement in reaction to voters of moderately libertarian sentiments fleeing to the moderate left. "

"As a form of government, imperialism does not seek or require the consent of the governed. It is a pure form of tyranny. The US attempt to combine domestic democracy with such tyrannical control over foreigners is hopelessly contradictory and hypocritical. A country can be democratic or it can be imperialistic, but it cannot be both. ... Whatever future developments may prove to be, my best guess is that the US will continue to maintain a facade of constitutional government and drift along until financial bankruptcy overtakes it."

"It's reasonable to believe that, absent such intervention – along with mandated bilingualism and other policies designed to trap immigrants in cultural and linguistic ghettos – our culture would be able to absorb new immigrants with much less difficulty. And it's likewise reasonable to believe that if our economy were freed from the burden of a huge and metastasizing welfare/warfare state, it could easily produce jobs at suitable wages for both immigrant and native-born workers. The central problem here, as in practically everything else, is the fact that the State (institutionalized coercion in the hands of self-serving people) is at war with society."

"The Bush administration counters that these U.S. attorneys were fired because their priorities were out of line with administration policy. Specifically, the DOJ told the New York Times that the prosecutors were being replaced 'based on a review of their performance in carrying out [Attorney General Alberto] Gonzales's violent crime priorities.' According to the DOJ, one U.S. attorney was fired specifically for her poor record in prosecuting violations of federal weapons laws."

"The internet truly amazes me, and never so much as when we find formerly dry, relatively obscure (and obscuring) power-elite organizations with websites and a public persona. Take, for example, the website of the Council on Foreign Relations (www.cfr.org)."

"The invasion of Iraq under false pretenses comprises solid grounds for impeaching both Bush and Cheney and for turning them over to the War Crimes Tribunal at the Hague. Under the Nuremberg standard, to commit unprovoked aggression is a war crime. Among the consequences of Bush's monstrous war crime are the deaths of tens or hundreds of thousands of Iraqi civilians, the destruction of Iraqi civilian infrastructure, the outbreak of civil war between Iraqi Sunnis and Shi'ites, the spreading of this sectarian conflict throughout the Middle East, and the consequent destabilization of the region. Try to imagine all the lives, careers, hopes, and families that Bush has destroyed. Try to imagine the fate of the hundreds of thousands of Iraqi refugees, the departure of educated and skilled Iraqis from Iraq, the ultimate horror of civil war that is only beginning."

"They have the legitimate power and the legal right -- and the popular support -- to end the bloody war crime in Iraq right now, if they had the courage of the American people's convictions. But they don't. ... The Democrats cannot even bring themselves to stand up against a criminal war that has been clearly rejected by the American people, a war bringing nothing but ruin, dishonor and ever-increasing danger to the United States. If they will not act in these entirely favorable circumstances, who in their right mind can expect them to oppose the coming war with Iran -- especially, as we have noted here over and over, the Democrats have been even more bellicose in their warmongering rhetoric about Iran than the Bush gang?"

"In addition to most expert opinion, based on bin Laden’s original writings, and Pape’s empirical research, repeated public opinion polls in the Arab/Islamic world discredit D’Souza’s unsubstantiated musings. Those polls indicate that people in Islamic countries like U.S. technology, political and economic freedom, and even culture (which polls high even in Iran)."

"After Fox outlets, Insight magazine and the Roger Ailes morning vehicle Fox and Friends erroneously reported that a source in 'Hillary Clinton's camp' had uncovered that Barack Obama had been schooled in a 'madrassa' in his youth in Indonesia, CNN dispatched a reporter to the school in question and found that the tale was totally false, that there were religion classes only once a week at the school and that the school had not even a hint of Wahabbite influence. Moreover, Hillary Clinton's camp denied having anything to do with the story. 'They made it up,' Clinton spokesman Howard Wolfson said."

"NuMetra's total solution, while technically complex, is easy to understand. They want networks and users alike to adopt ISTP in all servers, routers, and browsers. An end-to-end ISTP network is called the InterStream Media Grid and ought to make supremely efficient use of current network bandwidth and hardware to speed video from server to client with minimal hassle and completely avoiding the burbles and eddies of TCP/IP. It is brilliant and ought to work fine, but requires the cooperation of ISPs. The folks at NuMetra think ISPs will join their consortium and adopt ISTP out of self-interest since it will speed their network. But it will also REVEAL their network, showing for the first time exactly how fast or slow it really is. "

"With Wikipedia, there is no single gatekeeper, so the federal government and most for-profit corporations find it frustrating to try to get Wikipedia to say what they want it to say. That's usually a good thing for everyone else; it means freedom of information and decentralization of censorship and content control. "

"Wind energy is the most promising carbon-free, nonnuclear alternative to fossil-fueled grid power. But regions with enough space and breeze for land-based wind farms—mostly in the Midwest—are far from coastal population centers; the cost of running transmission lines between generators and users is a major disincentive. That’s why wind-power entrepreneurs have set their sights on coastal waters."

"Horizontal gene transfer (HGT) is a cross-species form of genetic transfer. It occurs when the DNA from one species is introduced into another. The idea was ridiculed when first proposed more than 50 years ago, but the advent of drug-resistant bacteria and subsequent discoveries, including the identification of a specialized protein that bacteria use to swap genes, has led to wide acceptance in recent years."

"How could growing economic inequality not matter? I might understand that position if the American economy were not saturated with government actions that serve privileged interests. ... In a market context one shouldn't judge one's material position relative to others. What's the point? Envy hardly seems an efficient route to happiness. But we live in an economy that is far from a free market. The hand of government is pervasive -- and not just in the obvious ways. There is an invisible political hand, which is different from the invisible hand Adam Smith famously wrote about. "

"America’s healthcare system has long been a twisted hybrid between free enterprise and fascism. The fascist part – the part that destroys individual choice and empowers Big Pharma and the medical establishment – should be the part that leftists decry, but instead they have for the most part focused on our remaining medical freedom as the supposed ill.

"Zoning laws are the epitome of central planning. A politburo of local politicians bang their heads together to decide how many homes should be built in their district, how big the homes can be, how tall they can be, how much land must be used, whether a business is allowed to operate there, and whether industrial activity is allowed to take place. What results is the pattern that everyone is familiar with: the traditional residential, commercial, and industrial zones."

"But if the tax bureaucrats didn’t make sure that you pay for your once-in-a-lifetime chance a trip to the stars, at a rate assessed according to the current, prohibitively expensive cash value of that trip, then who would? Best to keep the rabble away from a chance at being astronauts anyway; hopes and dreams can be dangerous things."

"As the American disaster in Iraq deepens and domestic and foreign opposition grows, 'neocon' fanatics such as Vice President Cheney believe their opportunity to control Iran's oil will pass unless they act no later than the spring. For public consumption, there are potent myths. In concert with Israel and Washington's Zionist and fundamentalist Christian lobbies, the Bushites say their 'strategy' is to end Iran's nuclear threat. In fact, Iran possesses not a single nuclear weapon nor has it ever threatened to build one; the CIA estimates that, even given the political will, Iran is incapable of building a nuclear weapon before 2017, at the earliest."

"But again, none of this matters. Iran's 'WMD programs,' its political repression, its religious fanaticism, its 'links to terrorists,' even its 'interference' in Iraq have absolutely nothing to do with why the Bush Faction and their Israeli outriders want to attack Iran. ... [T]he gilded gangsters of the Bush Faction – as they have demonstrated in every possible way at every possible opportunity, over and over and over again for the past six years – are not interested in the common good. They are interested only in policies that they believe will enhance the power and privilege of their own elitist clique."

"America is not fighting a war in Iraq. That war was not declared by the people of the 'united States in Congress assembled.' It was ordered by the Grand and Glorious Decider, with the connivance of corrupted and cowardly elected representatives who yielded to his demands. It is the State served by those people that is fighting in Iraq, not America. And it is a moral imperative for those people to lose – not only in Iraq, but everywhere their malign ambition takes tangible form at the expense of freedom, decency, and happiness."

"Just as the wars of 1914–18 and 1939–45 created Bolsheviks, the U.S.’ repeated grave errors, however different the context or times, have produced their own abnormal, negative reactions. The twenty-first century has begun very badly because of America’s continued aggressive policies. These are far more dangerous than those of the preceding century."

"Throughout the nation’s history, the failure of government to deliver justice has led to the establishment of grassroots organizations, often ad hoc, dissolving after their purpose was fulfilled. For instance, after passage of the Fugitive Slave Act, knowing that the national government could not be counted on to repeal the act, black and white anti-slavery groups organized to nullify the law by acts of civil disobedience. They held meetings, made plans, and set about rescuing escaped slaves who were in danger of being returned to their masters."

"The ease with which security fears can generate 'moral panics and folk devils' was recently highlighted at a conference organised by London mayor Ken Livingstone to debate the neoconservatives' insistence that we now face a new clash of civilisation versus barbarism. In London's past, the East End British Brothers' League carefully framed its objections using terms such as aliens, anarchists and Bolsheviks rather than Jews."

"The notion that a Shiite-Kurdish-dominated government would tolerate Iraq becoming a safe haven for al Qaeda is improbable on its face. Even if U.S. troops left Iraq, the successor government would continue to be dominated by Kurds and Shiites, since they make up more than 80 percent of Iraq's population. And, in marked contrast to the situation under Saddam Hussein, they now control the military and police."

"Sentiment to get us out of Iraq and prevent the next war is building, and the antiwar forces have the momentum. If a national movement can be mobilized around the narrow issue of the Feingold option, then the weak Reids of this world can be shown to be wrong, not only morally but strategically as well. For every moment the Democratic congressional majority continues to vote funds for this war – and future wars to come – they buy into a failed policy and make it their own. Once they begin to realize the political difficulties of such a tenuous position – and that day of enlightenment is not far off – they can be pushed (kicking and screaming) into taking their opposition to the war out of the symbolic realm and into the world of the actual."

"The Bush administration is fond of favoring tough measures against terrorists. With the Bush team cheer-leading all the way, Israel reinvaded Lebanon in July in response to Hezbollah’s seizure of two Israeli soldiers. Israel and Hezbollah had been exchanging bombs and missiles for months — actually, years — prior to Israel’s launching a bombing campaign that soon expanded to include much of Lebanon. Unfortunately, neither the Israeli government nor its friends in the U.S. government appear to have learned anything from the prior Israeli invasion and occupation of Lebanon. As with the last time, there is a danger that U.S. military forces will be sent to Lebanon to try to assuage the chaos. "

"Darting in for a try at the alternative landing site, Darkboy felt a presence over him. He played on, zigzagging through an aerial mine-field around the territorial capital. A mine-field could be pretty good territory for a tiny, maneuverable craft smuggling modest things. 'Agility is the underdog's Overmind,' a voice spoke softly. Not sure the comment was meant for him — or what it meant — Darkboy dodged onward. He used his tailwind to whip two of the mines together behind him. They exploded with a satisfying boom. 'And stealth is the power of the powerless. Darkboy shapes darkness into advantage'."

There was one very warm summer, in 2003, but the other nine years aren't unusual at all."
