Notes from The Sceptred Isle

Jerry Pournelle's sojourn in England bids well to provide a wealth of interesting observations Here's one such: "Now that fox hunting is outlawed they poison the foxes as vermin. This is known as humanitarianism." Yep. The so-called "Liberals" who got fox hunting outlawed did it for the poor dear foxes, all right. "Liberal" sounds more and more like Nathaniel Hawthorne's slanderous definition of Puritanism: the haunting fear that someone, somewhere, may be having a good time.
