President's
Corner |
Dear
friends,
This issue marks a milestone for the Liberator Online --
James W. Harris has stepped down as editor. He wants to spend more
time on other writing projects.
Jimmy (as he is know to friends) has been with the Liberator
Online since the very first issue on July 25, 1996. In fact,
with Paul Schmidt, he created the publication. Thanks largely to
Jimmy's hard work and dedication, the Liberator Online
has grown from 200 subscribers to more than 65,000 readers in more
than 100 countries. Along the way, it became the world's largest
circulation libertarian publication!
Jimmy has edited, by my count, 210 issues of the Liberator Online.
And he's written uncounted hundreds of items for his popular "Good
News, Bad News, Unbelievable News" column, covering every political
topic imaginable -- taxes, civil liberties, Drug Prohibition, asset
forfeiture, foreign policy, and more. No matter what the issue,
Jimmy approached it with his trademark clarity, humor, accuracy,
and dedication to liberty. He's skewered power-hungry politicians,
saluted freedom fighters, exposed scandals, and spotlighted libertarian
celebrities.
No wonder readers eagerly looked forward to their biweekly dose
of "Good News, Bad News, Unbelievable News." Over the
years, the column probably generated more email than any other department
in the Liberator Online. It's also been cited in numerous
newsletters, Web sites, and even in books -- most recently in Inspecting
Jews: American Jewish Detective Stories. (The book mentioned
Jimmy's article about libertarian mystery writer Stuart M. Kaminsky.)
Jimmy, thanks! You've made the Liberator Online what it
is today -- one of the world's premier libertarian publications.
Your work has educated, enlightened, and entertained. Most importantly,
it has touched -- and changed -- people's lives. For an
editor and writer, there can be no higher praise.
Jimmy will remain involved a while longer with the Liberator Online
in an advisory role, and he'll also remain active with the Advocates
in other ways.
Taking over for Jimmy as of this issue is Bill Winter, the Advocates'
director of communications. Bill has an extensive track record as
a writer and editor. He is past editor of LP News and The
Libertarian Volunteer, and his op-eds has been printed in newspapers
around the country. I'm confident that he'll pick right up where
Jimmy left off.
Bill tells me that his goal as editor is to maintain the character,
tone, and quality of the Liberator Online. However, he
does promise some changes. He wants to "streamline" the
publication and make it a bit faster-moving in today's busy world.
He's added a "Quick Shots" section to the "Good News,
Bad News, Unbelievable News" column, featuring a quick roundup
of news items and commentary. And he's expanded the "Soundbites
for Liberty" section to include a wider range of inspiring
and thought-provoking quotations.
In this issue, Bill has also debuted an HTML option. Click on the
link at the beginning of this issue, and you can read a Web-based
version of the newsletter, with more extensive formatting, colors,
and photos. It's just one more way to enjoy the Liberator Online.
Yes, this issue marks a milestone. One chapter of the Liberator
Online ends, another begins. I look forward to seeing what
that future brings!

What's
Happening With The Advocates
*
January 24, 2006: Hear DAVID BERGLAND
talk about the new edition of his classic book, Libertarianism
In One Lesson (recently reissued by the Advocates)! He'll be
live on the radio at 9:10 pm EST on WTAN (1340-AM) and WZHR (1400-AM)
in Tampa Bay, Florida. The libertarian hosts of the show are Paul
Molloy, Eileen Heishman, and Michael Gilson. The show can also be
heard live on the Web: http://www.tantalk1340.com/.
* January 28, 2006, San Diego: Advocates President
SHARON HARRIS will speak at the 2006 San Diego
Libertarian Party Convention. The San Diego LP is one of the most
active and successful local libertarian organizations in the nation.
Other speakers include Jim Babka of DownsizeDC and popular motivational
speaker Bob Burg. For more info: http://live.SDLP.org/index.php/2005/12/06/the-2006-san-diego-libertarian-party-convention.
* Did you know that the World's Smallest Political Quiz is a resource
for a Boy Scout merit badge? An independent Web
site dedicated to "Helping Scouts Advance" lists the Quiz
as one of its Topical Links for Scouts working on their "Citizenship
In the Nation" merit badge. The badge is given to Scouts who
have learned "what it takes to be a good citizen of this country."
This surprised us -- until we realized that, just like the Boy Scouts,
the Quiz is trustworthy, helpful, and friendly!
* California Governor Arnold Schwarzenegger wants to raise the minimum
wage in that state. Is that a good idea? To find out, read
Minimum Wage, Maximum Damage by Jim Cox (available from
the Advocates). This short but idea-packed book explains in clear,
compelling prose how the minimum wage destroys jobs; why politicians
only raise the minimum wage a small amount at a time; why racists
love the minimum wage; and much more. Check it out at: http://www.theadvocates.org/mw.html.

Good
News, Bad News,
Unbelievable News
|
By
Bill Winter
Send
an annoying email -- and go to jail
You
know that guy whose blog you hate? Well, don't post an anonymous
comment telling him what a blockhead he is. If you do, you'll face
a stiff fine and two years in prison.
That's because a new law signed by President George W. Bush makes
it a crime to post annoying Web messages or send annoying emails
without disclosing your identity, according to Declan McCullagh
of CNET News.com.
In a January 9 article, McCullagh says the "felony annoyance"
provision is part of the Violence Against Women and Department of
Justice Reauthorization Act. It was signed into law by Bush on January
5. Section 113 of the bill expands existing telephone harassment
law to make it a crime for someone to use the Internet "without
disclosing his identity and with intent to annoy."
The law, which could make criminals out of millions of Americans
next time their finger hits the send button, apparently does not
define "annoy," or specify when mild irritation becomes
criminal annoyance.
McCullagh quotes San Francisco resident Clinton Fein, who asks:
"Who decides what's annoying? That's the ultimate question."
(Fein has reason to be worried. He runs a Web site that allows people
to send "obnoxious and profane" postcards via email. It's
called Annoy.com. He might as well turn himself in now.)
McCullagh notes that anonymous speech has long been protected under
law, especially in political matters. In 1995, the U.S. Supreme
Court upheld the right of an Ohio woman to distribute anonymous
political pamphlets. Even Ben Franklin used a pseudonym to criticize
the British government.
"Our esteemed politicians can't seem to grasp this simple point,
but the First Amendment protects our right to write something that
annoys someone else," writes McCullagh.

Immigrants:
America's crime-busters?
Want to reduce crime? Invite more immigrants to move to America.
So suggests an article by Drake Bennett that appeared in the Boston
Globe (January 1, 2006).
Contrary to the common belief that poor immigrants are more likely
to commit violent crimes than native-born Americans, Bennett writes
that there is a growing "agreement among several leading criminologists
that immigration does not cause crime -- and may even reduce it."
In fact, the surge of immigration in the 1990s may be part of the
reason why violent crime in major American cities declined dramatically
over the past decade, he writes.
As evidence, Bennett cites a new study by Robert J. Sampson, a sociologist
at Harvard University. Sampson and his colleagues tracked 3,000
youths in Chicago from 1995 to 2002. Over that time, "immigrant
kids were less likely than peers of similar socioeconomic backgrounds
to participate in everything from gang fights to arson to purse
snatchings," reports Bennett.
Why? Samson suggests that young immigrants, while less prosperous
than typical Americans, are more likely to be part of stable, two-parent
families. John Hagan, a sociologist at Northwestern University,
has another theory. '"New immigrants tend to be a self-selected
group who are highly ambitious, energetic, [and] innovative,"
he says. As a result, they are more likely to have jobs, and less
willing to ruin their lives by committing crimes.
Other studies report similar findings. Ramiro Martinez, a sociologist
at Florida International University, found that immigrants were
"heavily underrepresented" among convicted murderers in
cities like Miami, El Paso, San Antonio, San Diego, and Chicago.
Martinez also noted that cities most identified in the public eye
with large Hispanic immigrant populations -- such as San Diego and
El Paso -- have the country's lowest murder rates.
There are a few caveats to the studies cited in Bennett's article:
They looked at violent crime rather than the more prevalent property
crime, they examined only urban areas, and they focused on legal
rather than illegal immigrants.
Still, these studies should surprise the "close-our-borders"
crowd, who have long argued that more immigrants invariably equal
more crime. Bennett quotes government professor George W. Grayson,
who wrote in the Washington Post: "The evidence is
overwhelming that an influx of poor immigrants -- whether Italians,
Irish, or Poles in the 19th and early 20th centuries or Hispanics
in the late 20th and early 21st centuries -- does bring crime, unruly
drinking, public urination, unemployment, overcrowded dwellings,
and property damage."
Well, Bennett didn't address the heretofore unrecognized crisis
of public urination; unruly drinking is hardly confined to immigrants;
and overcrowded dwellings are a common (and transitory) strategy
for cash-strapped immigrants struggling to build a life in a new
country. Previous waves of immigrants -- Italians, Irish, and Poles
-- quickly moved out of crowded tenements and into the suburbs.
But Bennett's article does suggest that libertarians -- who support
the right of peaceful people to travel freely across borders --
have it right when they argue that highly ambitious, energetic,
and innovative immigrants are a net plus for the nation. Like previous
generations of immigrants, new immigrants come to America seeking
nothing but opportunity and freedom. In return, they contribute
vitality, a richer culture, wonderful restaurants, economic growth
-- and, surprisingly, lower crime rates.

PS:
I plan to ignore this law
When is a law not a law? When the president says it isn't. At least,
that's what President George W. Bush is now claiming.
In the latest White House power grab, Bush says he has the power
to ignore any bill he signs into law. He made that claim most recently
in early January, when he issued a "signing statement"
about a law that bans the U.S. government from torturing suspected
terrorists. Congress passed the law and Bush signed it -- but he
then issued a "signing statement" saying he reserves the
right to ignore the law whenever he chooses.
In his statement, Bush said he would interpret the law "in
a manner consistent with the constitutional authority of the president,"
according to a Knight Ridder Newspapers story (January 6). Bush
has claimed expansive powers as the nation's commander-in-chief
to wage war against terrorism. Previously, he said he has the power
to ignore existing laws that restrict domestic wiretapping without
a warrant.
Critics say Bush's signing statements upset the balance of power
between the three branches of the federal government.
"It's nothing short of breathtaking," said Portland State
University professor Phillip Cooper. "In every case, the White
House has interpreted presidential authority as broadly as possible,
interpreted legislative authority as narrowly as possible, and pre-empted
the judiciary."
Other presidents have issued signing statements, but Bush has issued
more (500+ and counting) and has claimed more expansive powers with
them.
Critics note that if a president doesn't like a bill, he has the
power to veto it. But why issue a veto -- which might be overridden
by Congress -- when a president can just arbitrarily declare any
law null and void?
"So much for the ability of Congress to legislate, if the President
can simply declare anything it passes whatever he decides it should
be," wrote Tom Engelhardt and Nick Turse on LewRockwell.com.

QUICK
SHOTS...
Good news from the Ivy league: Over 250 Harvard
students list "libertarian" as their political affiliation
on their Facebook.com profiles, reports Alexander N. Harris in the
Harvard Crimson (January 10).
Free enterprise scores again: Four months after
Hurricane Katrina hit New Orleans, 103 public schools in Orleans
Parish have yet to reopen, according to the Fort Worth Star-Telegram
(January 13). By contrast, the first New Orleans strip club reopened
for business in just 20 days, says Harpers magazine (December
2005).
Maybe those closed schools are a blessing? According
to a study from the National Center of Education Statistics, only
4.6% of American high school graduates are "proficient"
at basic reading tasks -- such as figuring out the cost per ounce
of food, understanding prescription drug labels, or comparing the
differing viewpoints of two editorials. "This is hardly a ringing
endorsement of government schooling," notes the Future of Freedom
Foundation's Sheldon Richman in the Baltimore Chronicle
(January 12).
Don't scare my horse: Entertainment Weekly
(January 20) criticizes Howard Stern replacement David Lee Roth
for being a "scolding libertarian ideologue." To the best
of our knowledge, the former Van Halen frontman, who took over Stern's
radio show in New York, Boston, Philadelphia, and three other markets,
has never claimed to be a libertarian. But during his first few
weeks on the air, Roth said he opposes gun control and favors parental
oversight instead of FCC regulations. His "guidelines"
for adult behavior even sound libertarian. "Do whatever you
want," Diamond Dave says, "do it three times, but don't
do it in the street and scare my horses."
Do Holland's tolerant drug laws encourage people to smoke
marijuana? No, says a Knight Ridder article (January 7).
Dutch law allows the sale of small amounts of marijuana in coffee
shops, but only about 3% of the population use marijuana in a given
year, compared with 8.6% of Americans.
Basic instinct: England's Daily Telegraph
(January 10) reminds us that the new leader of the British Conservative
Party, David Cameron, is a self-declared libertarian. Cameron says,
"I am an instinctive libertarian who abhors state prohibitions
and tends to be skeptical of most government action..." Jolly
good!

Persuasion
Power
Point
#194 |
Do You Want to Impress -- or
Persuade?
By Michael Cloud
Advertising that wins awards usually loses customers.
It impresses, but it doesn't persuade. Impressive advertising sells
itself. Persuasive advertising sells the product.
So, too, with persuasive communication.
Cicero was reputed to be the greatest orator in the Roman Empire.
He was celebrated for his impressive speeches. Yet he was dissatisfied.
"When I speak," said Cicero, "people praise me. But
when Demosthenes speaks, the people march."
Everyone wanted to be like Cicero. No one wanted to be like Demosthenes.
Cicero impressed, but Demosthenes persuaded.
Too many libertarians emulate and imitate the example of Cicero.
We try to impress. In our conversations, our speeches, and our talk
radio and TV interviews.
We try to prove we're smarter than the other person. We try to demonstrate
we're more knowledgeable. We try to show that we have better evidence
and arguments.
We may impress our audience with our brains, our knowledge, and
our evidence and arguments.
But we will not persuade them.
As our Zen friends teach, "When you point your finger at the
moon, you want others to look at the moon, not your finger."
When we talk about libertarianism, we want to draw and direct attention
to libertarianism, not ourselves.
We want our listeners to be captivated and intrigued by freedom,
not ourselves.
We want them to become libertarians, not fans or groupies.
We want our listeners to be persuaded, not impressed.

Ask
Dr.
Ruwart |
Dr.
Mary Ruwart is a leading expert in libertarian communication. In
this column she offers short answers to real questions about libertarianism.
To submit questions to Dr. Ruwart, see end of column.
What about city housing
codes and fire safety laws?
QUESTION:
"How does a libertarian address the issue of city
housing code ordinances and fire safety laws, considering the fact
that one's negligent neighbor may pose a very real threat to the
safety of one's family and possessions?"
MY SHORT ANSWER: In a libertarian society (and
today in many locales), insurance companies would charge higher
rates in neighborhoods where houses were poorly maintained. When
people can lower their rates substantially by making electrical
and other repairs, they often will do so.
Today, most insurance companies assume that the city housing codes
take care of such essentials and don't bother to check them, as
they would in a libertarian society. Thus, the city housing codes
give people a false sense of security, since in real life, inspections
are usually restricted to rental property. Even when owner-occupied
buildings are covered by inspections, these usually occur only when
buildings change hands.
Do
customers have the "right" to breathe clean air?
QUESTION:
"Where would a libertarian fall with respect to laws outlawing
smoking in bars? People have the right to smoke. Bar owners should
be able to set the rules for their establishment. But customers
should have the right to breathe clean air, too."
MY SHORT ANSWER: In a libertarian society, the
smoking policy would be set by the bar or restaurant owner. Customers
would patronize the establishments that had the policy they preferred,
much as they do today.
For example, I avoid places that are smoke-filled, and opt for restaurants
that are smoke-free or have separate accommodations for smokers
and non-smokers. As a customer, I have no right to dictate smoking
policy any more than I have a right to dictate the color schemes
for clothing manufacturers.
However, I let both know my preferences by voting with my dollars
to do business with them or their competitors.

Soundbites
for
Liberty
|
Note:
As of this issue, we're expanding our "Soundbites"
column to include a wider variety of insightful quotations. We'll
continue to feature soundbite maestro Harry Browne, but we'll also
offer an historical quote and one from a contemporary libertarian
thinker. Enjoy!
"The whole aim of practical politics is to keep the populace
alarmed -- and hence clamorous to be led to safety -- by menacing
it with an endless series of hobgoblins, all of them imaginary."
-- H.L. Mencken (1880-1956)
On free trade: "We have only two choices. Either you are free
to buy whatever you want from whomever you want, wherever that seller
is in the U.S., or the world or we turn over to the politicians
the power to decide what you can buy. If we do the latter, you know
from all experience that what you can buy will then be decided by
those who have the most political influence." -- Harry
Browne, Liberty A to Z: 872 Libertarian Soundbites
You Can Use Right Now
"He that would make his own liberty secure must guard even
his enemy from oppression; for if he violates this duty he establishes
a precedent that will reach to himself." -- Thomas
Paine (1737-1809)
