The state evolved to finance war. (Thank you Napoleon.) But a city is a market. A market is a community of common interest. Beyond that, languages each imply metaphysical reality, and manners, ethics and morals imply the rules of human coordination.
Small is better. More peaceful. More prosperous. More egalitarian. If you want a ‘community’. It has to be small.

Americans hate each other. There is no ‘community’ of common interest any longer. I’ve been writing on that theme a bit lately. Even if people can agree upon ends, they can never agree upon means. But if a people cannot agree upon ends, then they can create no community of common interest whatsoever. I know where this ends, and I know that we are fifty years past doing anything about it.

I love Germans. The people. The culture. Everything.

OK. So now “Milk and Cream” go on the allergy list. Even milk in coffee is out. Damn. Thank god for soy milk or Alpen cereal with berries would be off the menu too.
What sins are left to enjoy? No alcohol, chocolate, and Milk or Milk products – including cheesecake, means desserts are almost always out. No preservatives – including fruit that’s been exposed to sulfur gas. Nothing that comes from a grape, including vinegar. Lemon juice from a bottle is out. Basalmic vinegar.
Basically If I can’t raise it in the back yard, fish it out of a river, or grow it in a garden, I can’t eat it. Probiotics are a gift from heaven. Why did I have to be 50 to figure all this out? Why isn’t it more public knowledge that white people simply should not eat dairy products?
Sigh.

Welcome To The New World Order: We now have a Christian version of Al Queda — Andrew Berwick’s document is a Guerrilla Manual, much like it’s predecessors the IRA Green Book and Marighella’s Marxist Manual – albeit a much more sophisticated one. It’s long, lucidly written, prescriptive, includes history, philosophy, strategic and tactical advice. – and as such it will produce followers.

Sam Hughes posted a bit of humor on G+: Seattle’s Summer is a failed installation. The whole country is frying, and it’s the middle of July, and it’s in the low 60’s right now.

The people I would love to talk to four an hour over dinner? It’s a very small number: The Queen. Maggie Thatcher. Henry Kissinger. Don Rumsfeld. Larry Summers. I’m lucky enough that I already know Hans Hoppe. I missed out on Hayek, Lachmann and Huntington. If I had to pick one, it’d be a tossup between the Queen and Kissinger. … How about you?
