“The fact that we live at the bottom of a deep gravity well, on the surface of a gas covered planet going around a nuclear fireball 90 million miles away and think this to be normal is obviously some indication of how skewed our perspective tends to be.” Dougas Adams.

Well after a week of medium illness we headed out to a Solstice party containing many people from the Libertarian / Atheist group and friends of the host.

So party games:
Define god, using agreed upon terms with the theists. ( mental twister) always a fun one, usually by the time it’s concluding there’s no time left advance further. God = X X being the number of people using the term god to represent anything from the laws of the universe as currently understood to the old heavenly father whose your best pal and just wants to be loved.

Bait the lawyer:
That by making the state work to prove their clients guilt using up the resources available to them doesn’t advance the cause of freedom: It’s mainly theoritical in the end. The idea that the state would say, wow, we have x people in jail now thanks to the attorney’s stipulating that yeah those pills the client had are really ecstacy , so should we reduce our budget.. Or… put more people away for consensual crimes?

Making the state efficient is not a goal I’d want to see realised. If you need a reason check out this book

Tax:
Just how much tax will one nation take before its pitchforks in the city square? All depends on how distracted we are, we’re very very distracted.

Away to cough up a lung ….
