More Information
- A Liberal Democrat’s Lament
- “My background is atypical for a somewhat high-profile supporter of the right to keep and bear arms. I am black and grew up in Manhattan’s East Harlem. I remain a 1960s Humphrey Democrat concerned with the plight of those most vulnerable in American society—minorities, the poor, the elderly, and single women—groups whose day-to-day realities are often overlooked in our public policy debates.”
- ACT-Up DC I-59 Information
- In a bizarre move in a democratic country, Congress first made it illegal for Washington, DC, to spend any money tallying votes on Initiative 59, the medical marijuana initiative. Then, when the Board of Elections joined in the ACLU trying to have themselves forced by the courts to release the results, Congress again passed a law, making it illegal for the Board to ask the Courts to do this. This archives the text of and debate on the Barr Amendment.
- About.Com Guide to Civil Liberties
- Wow! The “Guide to Civil Liberties” covers free speech, gun control, asset forfeiture, privacy, sex, and drugs. The only thing missing is rock and roll, and I probably haven’t looked hard enough. Each article includes the primary sources as well as media sources which are available on the web. Great place to go for information and editorials.
- Better Than Sex
- “Confessions of a Political Junkie”. The world ain’t what it used to be, and before this thing is over, you’ll wish you weren’t either.

- Generation of Swine
- The “Tales of Shame and Degradation” are mostly the Bush-Dukakis presidential race (from the primaries to the bitter end) of 1988, not a good platform for gonzo journalism.

Includes legislative information. It makes sense that the web page would be the first useful thing named after Thomas Jefferson. It’s sporadic, free-wheeling, foments revolution, and dishonest politicians hate it.

- The Libertarian Enterprise
