Delaware Libertarian exceeds 300,000 visitors. Thank you.

Published with both regularity and some unfortunate periods of hiatus, Delaware Libertarian has nonetheless achieved the milestone (about two days ago--I was watching but I missed it) of recording its 300,000th unique visitor.

I realize that, as Delaware political blogs go, the "big dog" over at Delawareliberal passed 2 million sometime last year, but I am still moderately pleased to have had well over a quarter-million folks stop by during the past six years.

Even if a lot of them [nearly 14,000] were only diverted here briefly via their porn searches for Brian's post on Thai Ladyboy marriage, that is still (I blush) our most popular post ever.

[At least the second most popular post ever is my own Just South of Queen Street, Thoughts on a Gay Agenda ...]

To the small, hardy band of regulars who cruise by to agree, criticize, or just lurk, my sincere thanks for your ongoing patronage and support.

As mood and opportunity strikes, with occasional help from Tyler [when he emerges] and with thanks to the two Brians [both of whom have gone their own ways a few years back], I will continue.

Aren't you secretly glad you didn't stop? It's kinda fun just being able to say what you want with no agenda, isn't it?

Comment Rescue (?) and child-related gun violence in Delaware

In my post about the idiotic over-reaction to a New Jersey 10-year-old posing with his new squirrel rifle , Dana Garrett left me this response: One waits, apparently in vain, for you to post the annual rates of children who either shoot themselves or someone else with a gun. But then you Libertarians are notoriously ambivalent to and silent about data and facts and would rather talk abstract principles and fear monger (like the government will confiscate your guns). It doesn't require any degree of subtlety to see why you are data and fact adverse. The facts indicate we have a crisis with gun violence and accidents in the USA, and Libertarians offer nothing credible to address it. Lives, even the lives of children, get sacrificed to the fetishism of liberty. That's intellectual cowardice. OK, Dana, let's talk facts. According to the Children's Defense Fund , which is itself only querying the CDCP data base, fewer than 10 children/teens were killed per year in Delaw

The Obligatory Libertarian Tax Day Post

The most disturbing factoid that I learned on Tax Day was that the average American must now spend a full twenty-four hours filling out tax forms. That's three work days. Or, think of it this way: if you had to put in two hours per night after dinner to finish your taxes, that's two weeks (with Sundays off). I saw a talking head economics professor on some Philly TV channel pontificating about how Americans procrastinate. He was laughing. The IRS guy they interviewed actually said, "Tick, tick, tick." You have to wonder if Governor Ruth Ann Minner and her cohorts put in twenty-four hours pondering whether or not to give Kraft Foods $708,000 of our State taxes while demanding that school districts return $8-10 million each?

New Warfare: I started my posts with a discussion.....

.....on Unrestricted warfare . The US Air force Institute for National Security Studies have developed a reasonable systems approach to deter non-state violent actors who they label as NSVA's. It is an exceptionally important report if we want to deter violent extremism and other potential violent actors that could threaten this nation and its security. It is THE report our political officials should be listening to to shape policy so that we do not become excessive in using force against those who do not agree with policy and dispute it with reason and normal non-violent civil disobedience. This report, should be carefully read by everyone really concerned with protecting civil liberties while deterring violent terrorism and I recommend if you are a professional you send your recommendations via e-mail at the link above so that either 1.) additional safeguards to civil liberties are included, or 2.) additional viable strategies can be used. Finally, one can only hope that politici
