Dan's got a firm grasp on the failings of the current methods of politics and on the potential of anarchy. It's been a while since the last issue (almost a year) but it was certainly worth the wait. Dan expanded *SO* from a small digest to a big tabloid. An impressive move. I enjoyed the non-PC rant about the double standards that people about flimsy judicial actions. The piece about NAFTA exposed it as legislation that will result in serious loosening of environmental restrictions. Also a historical look at the plight of Leonard Peltier. Resources and reviews too. I'm impressed, then factor in that he just finished his master's thesis and is still sane. $1 Each to Dan Gatewood, 3432 S. 45th Street, Milwaukee, WI 53219-4819 (16 Pages/T/RSF) back issues/no ads. <DT> The Anumeralist: Fighting the SSN-ation of our Liberty!

Things that just haven't existed in Mexico for 60 years -- and will have less chance now that the Mexican government is in control of NAFTA.

There's further evidence, supported by a leaked report from British Intelligence (well, as if *they* could be trusted) that Bill Clinton might be on the edge of a psychotic episode. Exerpts from _Spy_ and _Reason_ on a slew of atrocities commited by the BATF, a list of political phrases that inevitably lead to a tax hike, and L. Neil Smith's eloquent warning of coming *middle-class* revolution. If you did some digging for history class, you'd know that most successful revolutions were initiated by the middle class.
