I Like Big Knives:
The Blackhawk Tatang
by L. Neil Smith
It has been my experience, at least so far, that people who live, work, and defend themselves every day with knives tend to prefer them large. I have discussed Bowie knives and kukris. Another case in point is the barong, wielded mostly by the Moros of the Philippines, the small but madly fierce warriors who forced the U.S. Army to throw its puny .38s on the junkheap of firearms history in favor of a return to the old, reliable .45 Colt, and ultimately to the 1911 .45 of song and legend.

by Bob Wallace

Tyranny

A History of Freedom of Thought
Chapter VIII
The Justification of Liberty of Thought
by John Bagnell Bury (1861-1927)
Most men who have been brought up in the free atmosphere of a modern State sympathize with liberty in its long struggle with authority and may find it difficult to see that anything can be said for the tyrannical, and as they think extraordinarily perverse, policy by which communities and governments persistently sought to stifle new ideas and suppress free speculation. The conflict sketched in these pages appears as a war between light and darkness. We exclaim that altar and throne formed a sinister conspiracy against the progress of humanity. We look back with horror at the things which so many champions of reason endured at the hands of blind, if not malignant, bearers of authority.
