THE LAST DITCH

Link: Association Of Rocket Mavericks.

The presenter here is Steve Jurvetson, the venture capitalist who brought us hotmail.com. I have to agree with the quote from Paul Allen, the co-founder of Microsoft, on the Mavericks website. "In terms of sheer coolness, few things beat rocketry." What Freud would have made of it all is another matter.

Tom is a retired international lawyer. He was a partner in a City of London law firm and spent almost twenty years abroad serving clients from all over the world.

Returning to London on retirement in 2011, he was dismayed to discover how much liberty had been lost in the UK while he was away.

He’s a classical liberal (libertarian, if you must) who, like his illustrious namesake, considers that

“…government even in its best state is but a necessary evil; in its worst state an intolerable one.”
