	Libertarian Charities
		Libertarians simply believe that it's wrong to take by force money from one group of people and give it to another group of people.
		However, there are some charities that are explicitly libertarian, in that they focus on helping people by protecting their rights or by informing the public of libertarian solutions to problems.
		Although not all of these would describe themselves as libertarian, they are sufficiently pure in their mission to merit listing.

		Currently sponsored by the Libertarian Futurist Society (founded in 1982), this award was established in 1979 by L. Neil Smith to honor those works of fiction past and present that best promote freedom.
		While many people (such as Vernor Vinge) might cite a nonfiction book as a primary influence (and, indeed, I have been told by some individuals that fiction is "a waste of time"), most readers respond more strongly to fiction than to an essay, research report, or academic tome.
		Examine the shelves of science fiction (or other) novels for sale in any major bookstore and you will be struck by the difficulty in plucking the few freedom-friendly works from the indifferent multitudes.

	Libertarian Information by Thomas Smith
		Note here that Gilson uses "Libertarian" with a capital, referring to a party member, not someone who is necessarily a libertarian, the political philosophy, as in "personal application of Libertarianism", whatever that may be according to Gilson.
		The libertarian (not libertarian party) solution to contractual unions is that government should not regulate them, but optionally may be utilized as a trusted third party to adjudicate contract enforcement.
		Indeed, the Libertarian Party now seems to have embraced poor ethics: The Chairman of the Libertarian Party of Florida, Lisa Bullion, did not have proper written notice given to state party members about the October convention, with the result being there were about one half as many voting members there compared to the previous year.

		We are a bunch of sinister and heavily armed libertarian globalist illuminati who seek to infect the entire world with the values of personal liberty and several property.
		Let me state that I do not expect a paleo-conservative like Pat Buchannan to actually agree with libertarian views, but what I do expect is that, if he is going to comment on them, that he actually takes the time to figure out what libertarian views actually are before opening his noise making apparatus.
		So in essence Pat Buchannan's thesis of genius is that "libertarianism leads to statism because non-libertarians have imposed welfare policies that libertarians regard as both immoral and economically unsound".

	Libertarian Samizdata
		That might not sound very libertarian but the way I see it, acts of violence are intolerable and can be reasonably met with acts of violence.
		I actually look to civil society in the United States, for all its many and variegated flaws, as the Anglosphere's beacon of hope and regard it as almost certain to overcome the contrary tides of repressive statist stasis (well, almost certain).
		Selbourne has a valid point in bemoaning the neglect of civil society (Edmund Burke's 'little platoons'), but like most statists misses the obvious point that it has been the growth of the state, such as the monopoly education system, that has wreaked so much havoc.

		As is testified by the fact that the Libertarian Futurist Society's twice giving me their Prometheus award, they (you?) and I are in sympathy on most principles and issues.
		As soon as some begin to amass sufficient wealth, human nature being what it is, they will use it to influence the lawmaking processes of whatever society they live in to advantage themselves and disadvantage their competitors.
		But then I've probably always been more of a socialist in favoring a society that collectively takes care of its sick, elderly, needy, educates its children, and so forth, much in the way an extended family accepts its obligations.

	Heinlein Society: For Us The Living nominated for Prometheus Award
		However, Heinlein is well known to us, having won our Prometheus Hall of Fame award more times than any other author, and having been aware of the Libertarian Futurist Society and giving his blessings to us in the early 1980s, before his death.
		Our 10-person judging committee, which is just getting started after some new judges were approved by the Libertarian Futurist Society's board of directors, narrows down the nominees each year to five finalists, which will be announced in March.
		The Heinlein Society was founded by Virginia Heinlein on behalf of her husband, science fiction author Robert Anson Heinlein, to "pay forward" the legacy of Robert A. Heinlein to future generations of "Heinlein's Children."
