Gide on Molinari

Roderick — Sun, 20 May 2012 05:24:40 +0000

According to Charles Gide’s 1899 review (now posted), the problem with Molinari’s proposed Society of the Future is that it is both too hopelessly utopian – and too similar to the society we’re already living in.

There’s no satisfying some people ….

Trip Pics V: Philosophy East and West

Trip Pics IV: La Isla Bonita

Roderick — Tue, 15 May 2012 08:10:09 +0000

And now some photos (8 pages’ worth) from my April 2011 trip to Roatán, Honduras (for the Future of Free Cities Conference).

As you’ll see, Roatán is kinda purty.

Trip Pics III: Two Libertopias

Roderick — Mon, 14 May 2012 02:41:25 +0000

I’ve just posted photos from both the first Libertopia conference (Hollywood, 2010 – 2 pages) and the second Libertopia conference (San Diego, 2011 – 5 pages). You may recognise some familiar faces.

Isn’t Humphrey’s Half Moon Inn cool? I used to pass by there as a kid and wonder what it was like inside.

Cordial and Sanguine, Part 33: A Choice, Not an Ecch

At BHL I linked to Kevin C.’s response to the Obama campaign’s Life of Julia sleme.*

(*Sleme = slimy meme.)

Cordial and Sanguine, Part 32: Remembering Traditional Marriage

Roderick — Thu, 10 May 2012 05:43:34 +0000

Longtime readers of this blog will recognise my latest BHL post, on same-sex marriage, as a shameless mashup of several of my previous AAE posts on the same topic.

My people believe in using every part of the blog.
