EDITORIAL MATTERS:

A big "Thank You!" to those Readers who have donated cash money to help keep TLE "on the air"—we appreciate it! You yourself (yes you!) can donate in various ways via this link right here:

http://www.ncc-1776.org/donate.html

Another way to help out is to buy yourself the stuff you buy by using our affiliate links. For example, a while back my old reliable Logitech trackball I'd had for about 10-years up and died. So I bought a new Logitech trackball from Tiger Direct. I don't think I get a commission on my own purchases from affiliate links, but what the heck, I clicked through that way anyhow, just in case. Fortunately we had a bit of surplus in PayPal at that time. If you have a need for computer stuff (or computers), I'll testify that I've never had a bad experience with Tiger Direct.com.

Thanks also to those who have suggested new affiliate possibilities. I'm checking them out as fast as I can—this has been a bad/busy week for the home-care activities. One thing about home-care, you shore do get experience with the "Three Ps": pee, puke, and poop. Ah well, they never promised a rose garden. Or did they?

And on that note, welcome to Issue 409—"giddy up giddy up giddy up 409..."

A Tragic Death—of Responsibility
by Chris Claypoole
About two weeks ago, in "Libertarian Enterprise at YahooGroups.com", someone wrote: "This story is being passed off as a triumph of the Free Market by socialists. Youth dies of toothache: [link] How would a truly free market have prevented his death or did such a concept ever exist in practice?" This is an expansion on how I answered at the time.

Overreach, Shmoverreach: A Special Note From The White House
by Jonathan David Morris
Hi there from your friends at the White House. As you may know, the worst paper in the history of civilization, The New York Times, recently published an editorial called "The Must-Do List." This editorial called on our friends in the Democratic Congress to undo the last five years of so-called "presidential overreach" and "Congressional collaboration." If the paper gets its way, everything we've worked so hard to accomplish will be overturned. Which would suck.

Beware of False Gods
by Albert Perez
Since the 16th Century wars of religion, many, if not most, supporters of liberty, have been free thinkers, a polite term for atheists and agnostics. This is the consequence of several causes, not the least of which, and most pertinent to this letter, is clerical corruption.

Hope For the Future?
by Scott Kauzlarich
I admit it—from time to time I am pessimistic on the prospects for liberty in America. Sometimes I linger too long over the editorial pages of the mainstream press. Depressing. On a regular basis you can find our basic rights under attack there.

The Truth, So Help Me God
by Lady Liberty
A couple of things that happened this week dovetailed so nicely with some of the news stories I reported this week that it seemed inevitable I'd write more about it. The fact that it has something so integral to do with each and every one of us makes it all that much more pertinent to the matters at hand. I'm talking, of course, about the freedom of religion.
