Genetic Codes: Private Property Versus Public Goods
by Ingemar Nordin
The aim of the paper is to make a case for the protection of genetic codes. It is argued that within a property rights (or "libertarian") approach this has to be accomplished through having a copyright to the physical body parts and biological tissues one owns. It is also argued that copyrights can only be upheld if biological material is transferred or exposed to others in a contractual situation. Therefore extra care has to be taken when things like hair and blood is thrown or given away.

How Do You Practice for Self Defense?
by MamaLiberty
So, you've taken the basic pistol or CCW class in your area, bought your gun and visit girl guntalk web sites or discuss with a few friends your choices in gear and the right ammunition.

Things That Make No Sense
by Brad Linaweaver
I always like to celebrate surviving another birthday (9-1) by thinking about something that makes no sense. So, I'm a year older. The year is 2014, and the current example of nonsense has to do with ISIS (or ISIL, or the Islamic State). Not only frantic Republicans, but a fair smattering of Democrats and nervous Brits insist that this latest tentacle of Radical Islam is the whole octopus. It's here at last, an existential threat. Maybe even a metaphysical threat. It is the beginning of the dread Caliphate!!!! The Prime Minister of the UK talks about it as a greater threat than Hitler's Nazis, Stalinist Commies, Imperial Japanese, eternal China, pedophile priests and Injuns on the warpath.

Summer's End: A New Beginning
by Jeff Fullerton
Been a busy week so I have to settle on an update to the events chronicled in other recent articles rather than some of the other subjects promised earlier on and which I have been chomping at the bit to do. And I do occasionally when time and energy permit the opportunity to do them well as they deserve to be done. In the meantime it does make for a nice break from the polemic exegesis on the evils of Big Government which even many capital L Libertarians can grow weary at times. And the wars and rumors of wars rocking the world at large.

Musings
by A.X. Perez
Ever wonder why cats torment their prey before they kill and eat it? Turns out cats fight a lot among themselves and have a reasonably strong inhibition against killing each other. Often this means that they have to "psyche" themselves up to killing their prey by torturing it.
