The Bill of Rights isn't about us, it's about them.
It isn't a list of things we're permitted to do, it's
a list of things they aren't allowed even to consider.

[BarnesAndNoble.com dead tree and Nook]
The unabridged audio version of my 1983 novel The Nagasaki Vector, brilliantly read by the great libertarian radio host Brian Wilson, is finally available for purchase.

Many feel that this is the funniest book I've written so far—at least intentionally—and features our old friend Win Bear, G. Howell Nahuatl, a sapient coyote, time traveler Bernie Gruenblum, and Georgie, the time machine who loves him.

The price: $12.99.
The place: CD Baby.

I understand that it will soon be available in iTunes, as well.

EDITORIAL MATTERS:

I have several review copies of books to report on. I'll be trying to get to that by this time next week.

Speaking of reading, here are some interesting items:

A project to actually Build the USS Enterprise
buildtheenterprise.org
Seriously. Using today's technology.

And for those cosmology and physics fans:

"Is There a 'Fifth Force' that Alters Gravity at Cosmic Scales?"
at DailyGalaxy.com

Down With Power: Libertarian Policy In A Time Of Crisis (A.k.a. "L. Neil Smith's Little Gold Book") is on the web at down-with-power.com and [Amazon.com dead tree] and [Amazon.com Kindle] and [BarnesAndNoble.com dead tree and Nook]

To Hell With Public Schools
by L. Neil Smith
It is time to end the public schools. I just heard about a little boy -- a six-year-old in First Grade -- who is being treated like a sex criminal by the drooling half-wits who run the Aurora (Colorado) school system because he quoted an M&Ms commercial to a little girl his own age. Something about "I'm sexy and I know it", a concept of which the poor kid can't possibly have any understanding.

Cats and Dogs
by L. Neil Smith
If FaceBook's good for anything, it's unwinding skeins of thought. One thread I got into recently was about dogs as pets, compared to cats. I'm a cat person. I've had cats with me, beside me, and underfoot, all my life, since I was maybe five or six, and I enjoy their company immensely.
