Some bits and pieces from here and there:
- Sheldon Richman has written a very good overview of left-wing libertarianism for The American Conservative.
- Sylvia Boyes has been sentenced to prison for refusing to pay a fine. She was fined for her part in civil disobedience actions against the military and armaments establishments in Scotland. “As a responsible person I must act to bring about disarmament,” Boyes said. “A necessary part of that campaign is to carry out non-violent direct actions at military bases. No government can continue policies without the active or silent acceptance of its people. This includes the police and judiciary. So while I accept responsibility for my actions, I am refusing to pay fines as a further act of civil disobedience and am fully aware of the consequences.”
