"Now, I'm not saying there aren't some certifiable militia-ready technolibertarian assholes out there among my peers -- there may be some who even claim Charlton Heston as their prez. But too many of the swing votes, the ones that could really turn technolibertarianism into an epidemic, are my sort of "make the world a better place for all" guilty yuppie bohos. We weren't actually born with silver spoons in our mouths, and we'll come around." The sooner the better. I swear to god, I may have punch the next internet-weenie I see spouting benevolent fatalist dom.com marketing gospel to anyone who will listen.

"Une des choses qui a toujours séparé les Canadiens des Américains, c'est notre foi envers les institutions. Pour les Américains, le gouvernement est une menace, qui étouffe l'individu; alors que pour nous, c'est un filet de sécurité, qui protège le citoyen. Ils conjuguent l'Histoire au «Moi», alors que nous la conjuguons au «Nous». Vous voulez savoir où nous mène le cynisme envers la politique? Regardez Charlton Heston dans les yeux. Vous y verrez l'homme revenu à l'état sauvage. L'homme-singe."

Scott Thomason : RSSLite.pm

Parse XML newsfeeds with well-formedness (my mouth is full of potatoes) errors; XML::Parser and expat aren't very forgiving of mistakes. Handles the rss.*, rdf.*, scriptingnews.* and weblog.* formats. Neat! via More Like This tangentially related : Browser XML Display Support Chart.

So, apparently the States

is going to open source (after a fashion) the SDI, in case that makes you feel any better about it.
