Welcome to our Fifth Carnival of Liberty. I'd like to thanks Eric of Eric's Grumbles Before the Grave for working so hard at getting this together. Carnival of Liberty VI will be hosted by Stephen Littau of Fearless Philosophy for Free Minds.
I've made some categories that seemed to fit. If anyone wants their post in a different category, or has other suggestions, let me know [owlishmutterings at yahoo.com]. In particular, I'm unhappy with such a large miscellaneous category.
