Hello ladies and gentlemen. This is David Grizzly Smith. You probably guessed that, of course. I normally wouldn't do what I'm going to do tonight. This is rather unusual for Grizzly's Growls -- though Grizzly's Growls doesn't have a strict format, and besides it's mine, I can do what I want. As you know, I've been getting a few episodes ahead in my recording of the Federalist Papers. Tonight I recorded Federalist #14, the whole of which you'll hear when it drops on February 1st. Every time I've recorded a book, it seems, there's that one part I have to record two or three times. It gets me right in the heart, and I break down a bit trying to get the words out. So I do it over till I can finish it intelligibly, more or less. This time, so far at least, it was Federalist #14. It purports to have been written by James Madison, and I can believe that, it seems the most heartfelt essays came from Madison. Some sources'd say Hamilton really wrote them. I'd go with Madison, even so. The first part of the essay is along the workmanlike likes of those just prior. And then I got to the last part. And I could hear in the words the voice of a warrior for American independence, and American innovation, at a time when Kings and Queens were the order of the day for much of the world. And at a time when some in this country were arguing for dividing us up into fragments, rather than preserving the Union which made the American revolution possible. Seems to me there are those forces and those voices today who likewise would like to divide us. And we need words that express those fundamental values and that fundamental unity in which almost all of us believe. We are quarreling amongst ourselves, as families do sometimes. And there are certainly those who'd like to encourage those quarrels, to weaken us and strengthen their own grasp on their wealth and power over us. I think James Madison said it well, so I'm going to let him say his piece. If you're interested, the background music is Johann Sebastian Bach's "Prelude in C Major" played by Kevin MacLeod, the theme music for the whole series. Enjoy. And I hope you take it to heart, as I did. The original text from Congress.gov Book Theme: "Prelude in C Major" from Kevin MacLeod Show Theme "Hot Swing" from Kevin MacLeod of Incompetech.com.

"The Symbol and the Saint," from "Christmas Tales and Christmas Verse," by Eugene Field, published in 1912. A very pretty story I found, and recorded on this date back in 2008, as Hiber-Nation 45. Still makes a good audio Christmas card, not perfect, but heartfelt. Best wishes for a joyous holiday season, whatever holiday you celebrate! And here's to better times in the coming year.

Chapter 5, The final (hour-long) Chapter. Mill provides some sample applications for the principles from previous chapters. And points out that though society could restrict liberty when others experience loss, that doesn't mean they always should. Some losses aren't as important as preserving Liberty.

Chapter 3 Part 2 - It's important to be an individual, and to allow others to be individuals in thought and act. And it's important to preserve that liberty, even for individuals you don't like. Because they come up with good new ways of doing things. Bad new ways, too -- and then you learn what doesn't work... Something like that. Mill explains it better, just listen!

Followup to Episode 126. Now we know what Second Life is, what is it you do there? Just about anything and everything, I suppose. Second Life as Social Media.

Leo LaPorte said on "This Week in Tech" that he abandoned Second Life because "it's all about sex." Made my jaw drop to the floor. After I picked it up, this is what I wanted to tell you about Second Life, what it's not "all about," and what it is, at least from my viewpoint. Used a tune called "Day Job" from Chris Kirby's album "Vampire Hotel" on the show. Back when I interviewed him on The IDSL he said I could use his music on my show. He may even vaguely remember who I am. I encourage you to buy and check out the rest of the album, too -- I think the title tune from "Vampire Hotel" reminds me of almost all the clubs in Second Life where I've DJed late into the night. Except of course we take vampires a lot more seriously in Second Life. ;-) Oh, it turns out Chris Kirby has a brand new album, "Wonderizer."
