In the UK it is almost sacrilege to suggest that the 1997 Hand-Gun ban was anything less than a triumphant step towards a utopian peace. Over here comedians, pundits, papers and television routinely mock the USA for it’s gun culture; we are more enlightened, more “progressive” is the underlying sentiment.
But as anybody with any common sense could [...]
I know Molyneux is a bit of a polarising figure amongst libertarians of various stripes but boy can he hold a crowd. The speech deals with a topic that is very important but not often talked about and that’s the Euphemisms the state uses and what it says about the people who are inventing these [...]
Awesome post by Snowflake over at the Mises boards that I think needs wider spreading:

It seems there are several levels to the immigration debate, each seemingly slightly more rational and libertarian than the last:
Level 1: Hi, I’m an authoritarian racist and I believe that Immigrants are destroying the country! We fought a war so we wouldn’t have to speak German, and now these foreigners are coming over here, stealing our [...]
Over at the Telegraph:
The Conservatives would cut up to £2 billion from the public sector payroll, according to their key efficiency adviser, in a move which could lead to the loss of 40,000 jobs.
Now I don’t believe for a moment than 40,000 public sector jobs will be cut under a Tory government. In fact I [...]
Nice little talk from Roderick Long which addresses a bunch of common objections to the anarcho-capitalist philosophy. Hosted by mises.org:

N.B. I am not Davy.
I want to talk briefly about the Tory homosexual rights debacle that’s been floating around in the mainstream news today. I’m not one to rehash over the same points made by other libertarian bloggers, so instead I’ll approach it from a different angle. An angle that is more emotive, but that [...]
