Turning a new page… Shawn P. Wilbur, Two-Gun Mutualism & the Golden Rule (2011-01-01). This blog has gone through two previous phases, under two other names: The first was exploratory, a series of rambles “In the Libertarian Labyrinth,” with a primary goal of demonstrating that our tradition is far richer than we are accustomed to think; the second was also exploratory, but, having demonstrated… (Linked Saturday 2011-01-01.)

Somewhere Near Salinas. Jesse Walker, Jesse Walker: Reason Magazine articles and blog posts. (2010-04-02). The editor of The Commoner, a website devoted to "the commons-based society," travels to South America to study the co-ops that dominate the economy of Salinas, Ecuador. He finds an intricate mix of voluntary cooperation and entrepreneurship — not the sort of combination that should befuddle a libertarian, but one… (Linked Friday 2010-04-02.)

Institutional Silencing. cherylcline, der Blaustrumpf (2010-04-03). Bear with me as I take you through my thought process today.  I was directed to a blog post reviewing journalist Lori Gottlieb's controversial but mostly sensible new book, "Marry Him!", which claims that today's young women are too picky and may wind up alone, and certainly with a shorter… (Linked Saturday 2010-04-03.)

The War on Kids, Part...I Lost Count. der Blaustrumpf » Cultural, not Moral, Superiority (2010-04-05). State Government Vs. Entry-Level Employment Opportunities: “Often enough, these individuals were employed at nonprofits which would have promptly gone under had they paid their interns anything resembling a ‘living wage.’ And usually these individuals got ahead at the organization by completing one of these internships. … The book is only being thrown at for-profit companies for now, but it isn't hard to imagine that nonprofits might be next. … Many nonprofits, and small or new for-profits, are only precariously afloat as is, especially with the recession, and even middle-class college kids are feeling pinched. I suppose the usual suspects, the working- and lower-middle-classes, have already been sucked dry and the vampires have to turn to a new class. I doubt many will recognize that this will hurt small businesses and idealistic college kids the most.” (Linked Monday 2010-04-05.)

Chronic Ironic Postergirl of the nineties. Theis S?@c3;b8;ndergaard, Wired Reread (2010-03-12). Scan originally appeared in Wired 03.11, November 1995. What I find truly ironic about the 90’s was that none of us teenagers back then had yet grasped the distinction between irony and sarcasm, thus we coined the phrase Chronic Ironic about our extensive use of sarcasm, unwittingly doing something incredibly… (Linked Wednesday 2010-03-31.)

More Of The Same. Jennifer, Ravings of a Feral Genius (2010-03-22). “Hey, America! You know those wealthy, politically connected corporations who totally trashed our economy? We’ve decided to reward them with more of your money.”That’s what the government did with the bank bailouts, and now they’re doing it with the health insurance companies, too. Frankly, I suspect an outright single-payer program… (Linked Wednesday 2010-03-31.)

Und Now Ze Pig. cherylcline, der Blaustrumpf (2010-03-31). I think we all ought to be suspicious not only of William Golding's novel The Lord of the Flies, but also the timing with which it is assigned in public schools.  I recall being compelled to read the book in early high school.  Along with The Catcher in the Rye,… (Linked Wednesday 2010-03-31.)
