Today’s hail of bullets: libertarian sermonising from RR

• Another feather in Carter’s cap.
• On state blowhards and bullies.
• Answering LRC’s Gatto, who makes good points but... on good teachers. In my special interests I’m mostly self-taught (score one for Gatto; schools hate that) but teachers broadened my horizons so I learnt of the plight of 19th-century American Indians for example... and introduced me to seriously learning languages (Spanish, a good non-threatening starter foreign language; then they and I taught me Latin, Spanish’s mother on which I’d already made a big down payment by learning Spanish; I learnt Russian on my own). They taught me many of the basics of European history, which is to learn Catholicism. As for the gaps in my knowledge, either sloth, mea culpa, or if I don’t like it, I didn’t retain it and/or it dragged down my average.
• The Dems deserve to lose. So do the Republicans.
• The anarchist insight.
• Know-Nothing labour myths.
• Welcome to America: you’ve been lied to.
• Libertarians are politically homeless.
• Debating America’s surveillance state.
• The fool’s errand in Afghanistan.
• The deficit is a sympton; spending the disease.
• Obama and stem-cell research. I knew he was a ghoul on abortion.
