Minor template alteration
In case you may have noticed (which is probably not very likely), the color has changed slightly for the text signifying the date of my posts, along with a few other things. I changed the color from a more standard green to a shade of sea green. Why? Click here to learn why.

Good reason for the change ... but that green is a bit jarring against your lovely red -- at least, it is on my monitor and to my delicate eyeballs. ;-)
I don't remember where I read it, but in the UK the color for classical liberalism is orange.
i find that statement disgusting to the core (and not primarily for the tired spelling of "color")
I don't understand. Is it that he's attempting to speak for all libertarians in declaring one specific color to be libertarian, as if other colors can't be libertarian or other peoples' preferences are excluded?
Sunni - I haven't read anywhere about orange being associated with classical liberalism, although I did come across a site once that sold orange Ludwig von Mises shirts.
I like the fact that there is some historical significance at least to the sea green color, but I guess it really doesn't matter what colors people associate with.
heh... i take it that you don't want to see Roderick Long's new libertarian symbol, eh? It even incorporates some sea green!
You certainly make good points. I can definitely see the collectivist undertones with such practices, and I certainly wouldn't want various liberposers co-opting things that associate myself with.
Freeman, I don't recall where I read that about the orange, or I'd toss you a link. But I'd say the t-shirts you mention are evidence in support of my assertion. :-)
I don't read the Mises blog, so that wasn't where I came across it ... most likely it was from a blog across the pond that I follow via RSS (which would explain the lack of a bookmark for it too). And I already have orange underthings, thanks.
