Well, and Your Humble Blogger has been at this Tohu Bohu for a hundred days now. A hundred days seems like a long time, and it's true that a hundred days ago, for instance, Saddam Hussein ruled in Baghdad, but I'm hoping that I've just well begun.
I think I've learned a little bit about what I'm doing. The addition of comments helped (thanks Jed!), and the Conservative tenets (thanks Clint!), and Chris, and david, metasilk, and irilyth, Dan and all. I have, on a couple of points, changed my views on a few things, and that's a good thing. I'm trying to decide on the proper balance of my own path through things like the tenets, drawing attention to things clever or moronic, talking about books I've read recently, or what all. I'm getting the most out of the tenets right now but I don’t necessarily know what anybody else gets out of the blog (feel free to tell me, or to tell me off).
As for the next hundred days, I'm planning on finishing the tenets, and working my way through the Declaration of Independence, and at some point soon going through the candidates for the Democratic Party's nomination for President of the United States of America. Also, more about Spinoza, as I finish (I hope) the Theological-Political Treatise. Any other ideas or recommendations?
Thank you,
-Vardibidian.
keep on keepin’ on. enjoying it muchly.
“chirp!”
Hm. Just came across the Organisational Platform of the Libertarian Communists as well as the Anarchist Platform. I haven’t read through them in detail yet, but perhaps I’ll add those to the list of Things to Analyse.
Thanks,

I’d never heard of the Libertarian Communists before, but as far as I can tell in thirty seconds, they don’t have anything to do with other libertarians.
The Libertarian Party might be a good place to start if you’re looking for a list of libertarian things to analyze. The statement of principles might be a good starting point. Longer, but still reasonably concise, is the executive summary of the party platform; and then there’s the whole platform if you want lots more detail.
