Other notes:

- So far, response to our year-end fundraiser has been in the low
double digits ... and we need to average about $150 a day between now
and December 31st to reach our very modest goal. No "Tom needs an
operation and if you don't mortgage your house the newsletter goes
away" hype here -- just a request that those of you who find "the
libertarian movement's daily newspaper" worthwhile return value for
value. For more information, and to see the atrocious "candy cane"
graphic, point your browser at:

- This week's symposium is on "documentation" -- the written
instantiation of libertarian ideas in contracts, constitutions or
other systems for real-world practice. I've been saving this topic up
for Bill of Rights Day, but that's obviously not the only document
worth examining. See some of the others, and weigh in with your
opinion, at:

Back tomorrow with the regular email edition!
