Celebrating Ny New Career With a Shared Lunch

I've been keeping it a secret for a long time, but now it's out: I'm officially a columnist for the Free Radical. I was lucky enough to celebrate it with a shared lunch (despite being for my leaving form teacher at the end of the term), but nevertheless it was a joyous event, and I'm also pleased to announce that my form class is surprisingly pro-Capitalist (except for one guy who considers himself a Communist), being in a public school and all. Maybe, to get my class more interested in Libertarian politics and Objectivist philosophy for the smarter ones, I should give out my blog's address-it may be rather interesting!

My one concern though, is that the school may use it as if I was something of their creation; even though teaching is an almost exclusively Socialist career, it's still good publicity for them.

But anyway, so far so good!

Free Radical in Wellington today

I just received the latest copy of the Free Radical, and it's looking sharp. The big topics are environmentalism (sigh) and the attack on Free Speech in New Zealand. From the Front Cover:

"Labour seems to have concluded that political speech is so important that no one else should be allowed to have any...
The Clark government is not nibbling at the edges of free speech, they are engaged in both direct frontal assault and deliberate flanking attacks on free speech.
"

Too true.

The Free Radical can be bought here.
