More news of interest: Patriots for the Defense of America issued "America's Failing War Effort: A Report Card," girl of 12 settles with RIAA for $2,000, and faced with losing their precious pools, Germans are turning to (God forbid!) private enterprise to save their badekultur.
Also:Tim's article appears in today's Mises Daily Article. It's a decent story, but I don't get his obsession with capitalizing the word “State.” Like using too many exclamation marks, it rapidly loses effectiveness with overuse!

Pithy?

It was mentioned 3 times, two of which are used with hyphens.

Lemme guess, you would rather prefer: state-based than State-based? Or state-sanctioned instead of State-sanctioned?

Whew, and all this time I was worried you'd be upset with the content! After all, I'm bashing your beloved State : )

I have the tendency of writing the "Left" instead of "left". Besides, the Mises guys love calling it "Statism". Nice job on the article, Tim, although next time you should go for Ideas on Liberty, where at least you'll get paid.

As for the exclamation points, aren't you stealing your material from 'Seinfeld', Dave?
