The Smallest Minority on earth is the individual. Those who deny individual rights cannot claim to be defenders of minorities. – Ayn Rand
Quote of the Day.
That’s the great thing about being in the real grassroots, I know that every point I don’t address will get nailed by someone else. – Ahab concluding his post Wintemute is Back
Yup. The biggest problem I’ve got now, after almost five years of gunblogging, is getting something written and posted before six other people have done a better job of it! (Case in point….)
You’ve GOT to Be Kidding Me…
Via Irons in the Fire, go read this while it’s still up.

Sorry About the Lack of Posting…
A combination of my allergies kicking my ass, the arrival of my copy of Battlestar Galactica, Season 3, and my reading (P.J. O’Rourke’s On The Wealth of Nations and Jonah Goldberg’s Liberal Fascism) has kept me away from the computer. Well, that and work. We’re ridiculously busy.

Please bear with me during this slow period.

Actually, I hope they’re serious, but it will take more money than they have to do what they want. It’ll take more than they have plus what Bill Gates has.
I still want to see viable colonies elsewhere in the solar system before I shuffle off this mortal coil, though. Lunar, L5, Martian, even inhabited asteroids in the belt between Mars and Jupiter. Humanity needs a diaspora.
(ETA: For the record, I figure this is a Google April Fool’s Day joke – read the pages they put up. But it’s nice to dream.)
