A second Molinari Society symposium, on “Police Abuse: Solutions Beyond the State,” originally scheduled for Friday evening, has unfortunately been cancelled (or, inshallah, postponed to next year).
Wild Justice
I have another Libertarianism.org post on ancient Greece up; this one’s on Aeschylus’s Eumenides.

Rocky Mountain, Hi
I’m back from the Denver Regional, which was fun; here are the powerpoints from my prison- abolition talk.
It was nice seeing a western skyline again – mountains on the horizon, different kinds of weather visible in different directions. Eastern skylines are generally so claustrophobic.
Tomorrow at 9 Eastern, C4SS comrade Cory Massimino is interviewing me; catch it live.
This coming weekend: the Oklahoma Regional, with an anarchy focus and a large Molinari/C4SS presence.
From the Golfo to Faxaflói
The conference schedule for the upcoming Alabama Philosophical Society (Oct. 2-3) is now online.
This’ll be the first year I haven’t been to the APS since I came to Auburn in 1998. But this coming weekend I’ll be in Reykjavík, Iceland (first time!), to do my left-libertarian lambada at a European Students for Liberty Regional Conference there.
