In-Reply-To: <002101c18ad1$69e1fae0$30f9fea9@oemcomputer> References: <001901c18a94$5ee47d30$5000a8c0@jerry> <002101c18ad1$69e1fae0$30f9fea9@oemcomputer> Message-ID: <20020102013806.GA5633@hell.mine.nu> Dear Bastiat fans, I wish you all a happy new year. During the upcoming year, may we spread further those ideas of liberty and responsibility that we admire Bastiat for explaining so clearly. 2001 might have been the Year of Frederic Bastiat because he was born 200 years ago -- let 2002 be a Year of Frederic Bastiat too, because we will help his spirit revive and be more alive than ever. To clarify a recent exchange on the list -- Bastiat.net and Bastiat.org are different though very close sites (same "little hands" behind them). Bastiat.net is a very nice and structured site brought to you by the Cercle Frederic Bastiat from the Landes - the part of France where Bastiat lived. Although I am the technical expert who does the grunt work, it is mainly designed by Jacques de Guenin. On the other hand, Bastiat.org is a site (hopefully also nice) done in a more informal way by Bastiat lovers around the world (with I doing both the grunt work and the coordination), with the personal sponsorship of Michael Koller. So Bastiat.org and Bastiat.net are backed by very different groups of people, that share one thing in common: respect and admiration for Frederic Bastiat, who wrote so well about Liberty.

Bastiat events? Message-ID: <20020120212834.GA18319@ZhengHe.hell.mine.nu> Dear Bastiat fans, a friend of mine has been asked to make a summary of events that happened for the bicentennial anniversary of Bastiat's birth. I know of 4 events in France (St-Jean-de-Luz, Carcassone, Dax, Aix-en-Provence), one in Italy (where?), one in Lithuania, one in the US (day at the Mises institute). Do you know of any other one? And of course, if you know future events, do not hesitate to announce them here.
