Concern About Police Secrecy = “Tilting at Windmills”? Radley Balko, Hit & Run (2010-09-01). My column this week was about the continuing secrecy of Virginia’s largest police departments and the way the state’s law enforcement community is opposing efforts to make the departments even marginally more transparent. The journalist sounding the alarm about all of this is Michael Pope, who writes for Northern Virginia’s… (Linked Wednesday 2010-09-01.)

Can Preschoolers Think? cherylcline, der Blaustrumpf (2010-09-02). As I've said before, the NYT often shows up The Onion in terms of laughs.  This week, the NYT featured an unintentionally funny article about preschool depression accompanied by even funnier photos: Kiran didn't seem like the type of kid parents should worry about. "He was the easy one," his… (Linked Thursday 2010-09-02.)

Social Individualism and Solidarity. Darian Worden, Center for a Stateless Society (2010-08-26). A functional libertarian political order will rise the strongest from fertile ground.

Anarchism and the Platformist Tradition is a new archive with a nice collection of platformist texts, starting, naturally, with the 1926 Organisational Platform of the General Union of Anarchists (Draft), but including both prior and subsequent contributions to the platformist tradition.

E. Armand, "The Gulf" Shawn P. Wilbur, Out of the Libertarian Labyrinth (2010-08-08). This short piece by Emile Armand appeared in Horace Traubel’s The Conservator in 1910.

Some Hard Facts on Copyright. Kevin Carson, Center for a Stateless Society (2010-09-02). I've referred to Nina Paley quite a bit in recent columns.  Her song "Copying is Not Theft" and her Mimi and Eunice cartoons skewer the moral pretensions of the Copyright Nazis more effectively than just about anything I've seen. In a more serious vein, I just ran onto her interview… (Linked Thursday 2010-09-02.)

The Ruling Class. Jesse Walker, Jesse Walker: Reason Magazine articles and blog posts. (2010-09-02).

Written by Angelo Codevilla of the Claremont Institute and first published in The American Spectator, this… (Linked Friday 2010-09-03.)

Breaking the Walled Garden of Childhood. David Friedman, Ideas (2010-07-05).

More Watching of the Watchers. Radley Balko, Hit & Run (2010-07-05). Last week I interviewed a law enforcement official for a forthcoming article on recording the police.
