IS SWEDEN AN "OPEN SOCIETY"?
The Swedish police has arrested a 35-year old man as a suspect for the murder of Anna Lindh, Foreign Minister. According to the media, the man has been involved in neo-nazi (wrongly labeled by media as "extremist right-wing") activities.
How will this event affect the Swedish society? Read the NYT article on International Herald Tribune's web site, Violence forces Sweden to confront its dark side.

SEPTEMBER 11, 2001: DON'T FORGET, DON'T FORGIVE...
This evening the Swedish television aired the PBS Frontline documentary, The Man Who Knew. Have you read the book, The Man Who Warned America: The Life and Death of John O'Neill, the FBI's Embattled Counterterror Warrior by Murray Weiss?
I took the above picture on my first trip to New York City in 1996. Financial trader Morry Markovitz arranged so I could visit the commodity exchange at the World Trade Center. It was a great experience to walk around on the trading floor and watch capitalism in action! If you are interested in trading, please check out my old site on "WallStreet/Floor/9951" @ GeoCities.

THE LIBERTARIAN ANTI-WAR MOVEMENT
Signature "JGWillis" has made a comment on my post, SCHWARZENEGGER FOR GOVERNOR? He thinks that the Libertarian movement shouldn't be called "hippies of the right" any longer. He says that he doesn't "know of any libertarians who are anarchists anymore." How about the following bunch then? Here is a small sample from the Net: "Libertarians 4 Peace.net", "Vote Libertarian.US/antiwar", and "AntiWar.com". Please read my post, THE WAR ON TERROR. For a longer analysis, read Andrew Dalton's posts, Libertarian Watch and The Libertarians Strike Back.
"JGWillis" argues that the Libertarian party "is the only party with a platform that is consistently for smaller government." I believe in a limited form of government (military defense, police force, and court of law) and its important role as a protector of the individual's rights. The Libertarian movement is working like an umbrella organization trying to catch as many people as possible who are against the state and for "liberty". The recent project is according to my view another example on how the Libertarian movement is trying to do a pragmatic quick-fix and take the power in a certain state by short-range tactics, instead of fighting for long-range results. Do a search on the Internet and read what happened with the "floating sea city - Oceania." If you want to have one more example, read about "Libertarians For Dean" in Skip Oliva's post, Libertarians Run Amok.
I went the long and hard way via different political associations, until I found an integrated system of ideas. I met some individual libertarians (with a small "l"), who were serious enough and became real champions for individualism, freedom and capitalism. But I also met many libertarians (called neo-liberals in Sweden) who were more interested in pushing a nutty agenda, including supporting "kiddie p0rn", "right to engage in a duel in order to resolve a conflict", "brewing your own liquor at home", and taking property rights out of context by discussing "the Desert Island Problem."
I must admit that I don't know so much about Neal Boortz and his view on government. I haven't listened to his talk show. I have listened a bit on Rush Limbaugh and I must say he his a mixed bag. I would prefer to pick a talk show host like Andrew Lewis (not on the air at the moment) or Prodos instead.

TAIWAN REPUBLIC OF CHINA
I thought that the correct name of the island, formerly called Formosa, has been Taiwan R.O.C. (Republic of China). I thought that the end part of the name - R.O.C. - is going back historically to the legacy of Chiang Kai-shek and his goal to take back the mainland of China. I think it could be a good idea cut the suffix "R.O.C." and shorten the name to Taiwan. The leaders of the nation should at the same time declare total independence from communist China (People's Republic of China).
In the news: Taiwan holds massive war games.
