Somewhat Rational Pages

There is some rationality on these pages, but philosophically, they are mixed or non-Objectivist.

* Organizations/People

James's Liberty file Collection

This page contains some great information/resources, though I do NOT agree with all the ideas. The texts of Aristotle, Locke, Darwin, Bastiat, and historical American documents are a nice treat! (The anarcho-capitalism paper is very concrete-bound: it does not consider many principles of individual rights. I do not sanction it.) I may end up just pulling the good texts and putting them in the "discourses" section, to save you the annoyance of the anarchist links. Anyways, it's mixed.
