Contingent upon my productivity this weekend, the level of content next week should remain pretty normal, but moderation of comments that are caught by the spam filter will be sporadic, infrequent, or non-existent... probably non-existent until the following week.
I know, I know: I won't be here for the 10 year anniversary of the 9-11 terrorist attacks. Exactly. I'll enjoy the sights around me and be glad that I'm not back in America glued to my laptop and television listening to the incoherent ramblings of 9-11 Truthers, whose arguments are rivaled in their vapidity only by the pretended patriotism of warfare statist agitators who would bleed this great nation dry of its wealth and its most able young people to satisfy their own thirst for blood, glory, and profit.
Besides, a fellow adventurer offered me an opportunity to wander overseas again that I just could not refuse.

Why have I been so stuck with wanderlust this year? Because when you travel to foreign places, you learn anything you're trying to learn ten times faster. Your food tastes ten times better. The idea of doing the hard parts of the work you love sounds so much sweeter. You grow and reexamine yourself in a way that is impossible at home. You are faced with new situations that teach you things you might have never learned otherwise.
We libertarians are part of a global movement to capture the hearts and minds of the entire world. It's worth getting out there to see and understand it, especially since getting out there helps us see and understand ourselves differently. And also... you get to ride plaster sphinxes on imperial palace grounds.
