Stirring the Pot
Diary for a small planet.
Harry Browne was twice a presidential candidate for the Libertarian party. The first time was in the 1996 election and the second as part of the 2000 election; however, he never achieved an elected office.
This Wikipedia bit on Libertarians says that in general the movment advocates the right of individuals to be free to do whatever they wish with their persons or property as long as they allow others the same liberty, by not initiating physical force, the threat of it, or fraud against others. The criticisim section of that Wikipedia bit offers something of a counter: critics from the Left tend to focus on the economic consequences, claiming that perfectly free markets, or laissez-faire capitalism, undermines individual freedom for many people by creating social inequality, poverty, and lack of accountability for the most powerful. Chew on that for awhile.
And our slice of the news includes two archeologists: Machteld Mellink and
Andrew Sherratt. Mellink was an expert regarding the region known as Anatolia while Sherratt was an Old World prehistorian.
Here is a bit about Anatolia and a map of the place for your working reference.
If it happens that you are scratching your head about prehistory we read that this subject is the history of humankind in the period before recorded history as per Answers.com. Not fair really using the term history to define prehistory now is it?
And we found this in our Need To Know box: helpful hints for the fashion challenged from Posh Spice. Um, yea right.
