If you’re reading this via the LeftLibertarian.org aggregator, then you’ve missed four of my posts because my RSS feed wasn’t validated. Now it is and so they’re back, but buried below; there’s one on the alleged genetic basis of racial differences, one on Benjamin Tucker and Francis Tandy, and a couple on Randian views of intellectual property.
If you’re just reading my blog the regular way, ignore the above.
So if you were watching the Tonight Show yesternight, you got to hear Ron Paul talking about Austrian economics, followed by Johnny Rotten singing “I am the Antichrist, I am the Anarchist …. Hi, Mr. Paul!” and the two shaking hands. Surreal! Hoping to see a pic of the handshake showing up online – a great symbol of the libertarian/counterculture convergence.
Okay, so Paul isn’t my ideal libertarian, and Rotten – as an admirer of Reagan and Thatcher – isn’t my ideal counterculture dude. But it’s still cool.
Addendum:
I was wrong about Rotten being a Reagan/Thatcher fan; see the comments section.
