Drugs Are The Health Of The State
by L. Neil Smith
If you’ve been listening to the soon-to-be former Attorney 
General Jeff Sessions’ blather for any length of time at all, 
then you know that he believes that an increasing number of states 
like Colorado and Washington must be brought firmly to heel for 
having legalized marijuana over the past several years without 
federal government permission. It doesn’t matter to him that 
the states created that federal government in the first place, or how 
the people of those states, more than weary of the War On (Some) 
Drugs have voted. He says it’s a matter of federal law and of 
various treaties that the government has signed (without our 
permission, by the way) with other governments. Any way you slice it, 
then it’s all about the law, right?

Review of L. Neil Smith’s Blade of p’Na
by John Walker
This novel is set in the “Elders” 
universe, originally introduced in the 1990 novels Contact and 
Commune and Converse and Conflict, and now collected in an 
omnibus edition with additional material, Forge of the Elders. 
Around four hundred million years ago the Elders, giant mollusc-like 
aquatic creatures with shells the size of automobiles, conquered 
aging, and since then none has died except due to accident or 
violence. And precious few have succumbed to those causes: accident 
because the big squid are famously risk averse, and violence because, 
after a societal adolescence in which they tried and rejected many 
political and economic bad ideas, they settled on p’Na as the 
central doctrine of their civilisation: the principle that nobody has 
the right to initiate physical force against anybody else for any 
reason—much like the Principle of Non-Aggression, don’t you know.

Moneyball Healthcare
by J. Neil Schulman
Remember the book and movie Moneyball, about how Oakland 
Athletics manager Billy Beane used a microbudget (compared to far-better-funded major-league 
baseball teams) to bring his team to the playoffs in 2002?

What’s Wrong With British Conservatism?
by Sean Gabb
On Tuesday the 15th February 2005, I spoke at a 
conference organised by the Royal Society of Arts in London. The 
subject was “What’s Wrong With British 
Conservatism?.” According to the official notification of this 
debate:: While American conservatism is in such apparently rude health, its 
English cousin appears terminally ill. The British Conservative Party 
used to be the biggest political party in the West, but is now a 
shadow of its former self. What happened to the social base of the 
British Conservative party? Can the British Conservative Party learn 
any lessons from America?

Submission
by J. Neil Schulman
Look, I’m a libertarian anarchist who’s been a 
muckraking journalist, a magazine editor, an Op-Ed writer for major 
newspapers, a much-published book author and magazine writer, a 
network television screenwriter, the founder/CEO of two publishing 
companies, a blogger, a tweeter, an indie writer/producer/director of 
two narrative feature films—and that doesn’t begin to 
exhaust my experience and the jobs I’ve done both for pay and 
on my own dime.
