	The door opens to a cold, damp day, and in walks Raven.  He looks
around the bar, and realizes that he hardly knows anyone here anymore.  Shad up
in the rafters, Cynic, Kitten, Aahz, DM, and a few others, but the Place has
mostly completely new people. "Wow," he says.  "It's like totally starting over
again, I don't know anybody.  Has it really been that long?"  It has actually,
been about eight months since he was consistently present here.  
	He staggers over to the bar and gets a shot of Jack Daniels, and the
another.  

	"Well," he says addressing anyone who cares to listen.  "I suppose I
better introduce myself all over again."  Raven is about 5'7" tall (or short,
his legs being barely long enough to touch the ground), is wearing black pants,
shirt, and boots, carrying a slightly beat up guitar case with lots of airport
stickers, and his a fairly short blondish ponytail.  He also has very blue
eyes, and pale skin.  "My name, as you might have guessed is Raven, and i used
to patronize this wonderful place, but haven't recently.  First I had no time,
then I fell in love (am still in love but have more time), and just sort of
drifted away. Anyway, I am back now, and it's good to be here."

He wanders over to a shadowy booth with his whisky, and sits there noodling on
his guitar, playing depressing ballads.

     A flimsy paper airplane floats out of a mostly-hidden X-window and lands
on the bar in front of Mike.  He unfolds it and begins to read.

     "Folks
        alt.callahans mysteriously disappeared from my site's newsfeed quite a
     while back.  When I determined that it had *not* dorpped off of the face
     of the planet, der Mouse kindly set up a simple relay which forwarded the
     group's postings to my gatewayed mail account.
        Unfortunately, that gateway was sick recently, and now that it is
     healthy again I find that I am no longer receiving those posts.  I suspect
     that the relay at McGill which had forwarded them to me has been cut off,
     probably due to the flurry of bounced messages while the gateway was ill.
        As you see, I can still intone the appropriate incantations to get
     messages to the group, but I am not currently able to read responses
     unless they are mailed specifically to me at dgil@ipsaint.ipsa.reuter.com.

        "The ideal thing would be for the relay to be reinstated, but I don't
     believe I've seen any postings from der Mouse in quite some time and I
     assume that he's MIA.  I did get the impression from him, though, that
     what he had done was quite trivial, amounting to a line or two of text
     somewhere, and so I hold tight to the faint hope that some other kind
     soul may be persuaded to duplicate his feat.

        "My circumstances will be changing drastically, no later than the end

     date.  Can anyone help me?

     "Well, any takers?" says Mike, and pins the paper to the notice board.

Australian cartoons for bar members. Well I think that there are two to be
considered _Welcome To The Pearly Gates_ by Ian Jones and _Snake Tales_ by
Sols. To justify this I will quote some of the text from these comic strips,
firstly _Welcome To The Pearly Gates_.
The scene is St. Peter (SP) talking to someone out of view (S).

SP: YOU GET INDIGESTION FROM _RUSSIAN_ YOUR MEALS!! (Emphasis is cartoonist's)
S:  BOY! AM I _HUNGARY_!!
S:  CAN I HAVE A _MALTA_ MILK, PLEASE?

SP: GEE...OWNING A RESTAURANT
SP: ...WOULD BE AN INTERESTING _KOREA_!!

WTTPG is like this the whole way through the book I have reprinting a selection
of ones from the ones which were published in some Aust. newspaper.

Now to quote some _Snake Tales_
The scene is Snake (main character) talking to a mouse sitting at a piano.
S:  I DIDN'T KNOW YOU PLAYED THE _PIANO_?
M:  I DON'T!
M:  THIS IS A _MOUSE ORGAN_!! 

The scene is Snake and Kangaroo leaning on a rock each, Snake is wearing a

K:  A BRITISH CIVIL SERPENT?

That is the practical upshot of the libertarian's views, in general.
But (and remember that, as David Friedman says, "There amy be two
libertarians in the world who agree with each other about everything,
but I am not one of them") in general, libertarians believe that the
initiation of force to achive social and political ends is what leads
to the opinion on government.

This is an important point.  If you agree, then governemt is
necessary.  If you disagree, then it is not.

Impossible.  That's why I'm an anarchist.

I think that it is impossible to prevent the creeping featurism from
overwhelming even the freeest society.  Witness our own history over
the past 200 years.  

As Fedric Bastiat said over a hundred years ago, representative
government can only survive until such time as the people discover they
can vote themselves largesse from the Treasury.

Libertarians have the same relationship to the Libertarian party that the
political left has to the Democratic party: a large group of people with a
wide variety of views, and only one party to represent them all.

>>As I understand it, Libertarians believe that less government is better.
 
Well, how about "Libertarians believe in minimal government."
Libertarians don't want to get rid of ALL government, just most of it.
Anarchists believe that less government is better. (ad infinitum)

The reason that no two libertarians agree is that each one has a different
idea of exactly what consists of a proper minimum.

The most common variety seems to believe in a judiciary, a police force, and 
an Army (dedicated to defense) are the proper minimum.  I'm not sure who they
think is going to generate the laws.

There are a number of services that only a centralized government can provide.

The problem with anarchy is that it's inherently unstable.  Well, most     
governments are unstable in the long term, but anarchy isn't likely to last 
more than a few years ...

How about having a fee applied to the loser of each court case, and a smaller
charge to the winner of civil cases?  The system could theoretically pay for 
itself.

That's something I don't really understand.  Why do people hoard books?
I always think that books are to be circulated, so tend to use public
libraries an awful lot.  About the only books I keep are those I know
I'm going to refer to again, and again...

Do you actually read all the books you have?  More than once?
