I am somewhere in the libertarian/anarcho-capitalist range, with a big
emphasis on self determination, self empowerment, self defense, among
other
selfisms. I ascribe to Heinlein's definition of a capable person, and
especially like the 'rational anarchist' philosophy of his character,
Bernardo de la Paz in The Moon is a Harsh Mistress: you are perfectly
welcome to institute whatever government and legal system so long as you
don't mind if I ignore it as I see fit.
I consider L Neil Smith, S Andrew Swann, Larry Niven, Jerry Pournelle,
Greg Egan and Damien Broderick to be my primary contemporary literary
influences, with T Jefferson, Locke, Paine, among others to be my
political influences of the past.
For those new to this list, I also run the exi-freedom mail list which
is inhabited by many people of similar bent....
