   1. Always leave one or two people behind at the spacecraft to open the hatch for you.
   2. If you can’t leave one or two people behind, take a remote with you with which to open the hatch.
   3. They can figure out the general location of the hatches from the landing pad imprints in the grass.

   Issue 1,187 of L. Neil Smith’s THE LIBERTARIAN ENTERPRISE is now up

   Issue 1,187, December 18, 2022

   THIS ISSUE’S MOTTO: Fascism and communism are two sides of the same cheap, devalued zinc penny of a coin. — Sam Hall

   THE WEEKLY CARTOON: What do Americans really celebrate on Independence Day?

   Note: There will be no December 25th issue. Publication will resume on January 1. TLE wishes its readers and contributors a happy holiday.

   A Request for Help

   Jim Davidson, a long-time contributor to TLE, is currently awaiting trial on extended traffic related charges. See his early October article on the status of his case, [Due Process of Law] (https://ncc-1776.org/tle2022/tle1176-20221002-05.html). Since then he has retained an attorney. The attorney usually charges $2,000 to start; there may be more, possibly $10,000.

   Jim maintains his innocence with respect to the charges, and while the Libertarian Enterprise will not comment on the particulars of the situation, we do believe that everyone is owed a fair trial and the ability to retain a lawyer. To that end, we have set up a GiveSendGo page. Jim, and we, would be extremely grateful for any help our readers would be able to kindly provide.

   Jim offers a free copy of his new book in consideration of donations of $25 or more.

   https://givesendgo.com/G3DA3

   Donations will show up as “Rule of Law,” and will be directed to an account in Cathy’s name which will then be provided to counsel.

   Thank you

   Yours in Liberty,

   Rylla and Cathy Smith

   You let the Taliban (people who chant “death to America”) take custody of 300,000-plus assault rifles, but insist that 20,000,000 Americans who own neutered copies of those rifles hand them in so you can get your warm fuzzy du jour that you “got something done.”

   This is Mike from last night.

   My suggestion is that we run the county affiliate as we see fit, with the idea of being an example for others, and let the chips fall where they may.

   No one is saying we shouldn’t (yet), but Frank is starting to get on my nerves with the micromanaging. I’d like to get ahead of it somehow.

   Any damages awarded in this case should be paid out from the personal funds of Michelle Lujan-Grisham and Peter Wirth.

   There is absolutely NO reason taxpayers should be on the hook to pay for their misconduct.

   Have you forgotten that Sinema has to actually accept that cabinet position?

   You and @KamalaHarris can also both resign, effective immediately.

   Do that instead, please and thank you!

   Unless the right in question is the right of #selfdefense and the right to keep and bear self-defense tools. Then you’ll stomp out that right with extreme prejudice.
