This Month: Caldo Gallego

…everyone now loves Spanish smoked paprika or (meat eater’s) chorizo now, but here’s the wonderfully flexible dish from the Libertarian homeland where free communes held out in an oasis of culture, free trade, democracy… and participation by women, Jews and minorities–and bathed becoming all but plague-free–as Europe trudged through the theocratic abuses of the Dark Ages…and whose sons, led by the de Lemos clans, spread out to bring republics, learning co-operatives  and free communes to the suffering Earth… Use white beans, paprika, greens, and whatever guests bring for another great flexible Lib co-op dish!

OK, Libertarians: The Assault Rifle They Want To Ban

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ruger_10/22 

It’s…the Hippie teen hunting weapon they once brought to school.

Don’t laugh. They’re already telling you the real agenda: An East Coast mayor appeared on MSNBC claiming all firearms were “Weapons of Mass Destruction” that should be banned ( except for officials, natch, thus creating an exclusively armed aristocracy–the definition of feudalism…) while many extreme conservative pundits wax apoplectic and demand ‘violent’ shows be forbidden to boot. So find what many Libertarians know in this  informative article on a great weapon in many US homes, and additional links below…NEVERMIND hysterical officials that are ignoring that:

Patronage Refund! *or* Why Everyone in Burlington Should Be a Member of City Market.

Reblogged from American Socialism for the Rich:

Many of the folks I know who live in Burlington, Vermont have a mixed perception of our co-operative grocery store, City Market. Though they appreciate the convenience of the downtown location, it's often perceived as an overpriced natural foods store which might be nice for specialty items, but would break the bank if you did the bulk of your grocery shopping there.

This concept of a highly-proactively designed voluntary action/libertarian-based governmentless city of a highly humane and educated population so fascinated planners and futurists  it attracted favorable attention by the US Government, 3M and the University of Minnesota, which in the ’60′s contemplated helping fund a model for study–the US Federal Government studied abolishing itself, said Fuller, except as a more guideline oriented educational entity.
