The Internet Party

If I see one more ad for some dumb ass politician running for
president I'm going to puke.

<bright idea!>

Say, why not pick our own candidate?

Why not form our own Party?

The Internet party........

It would be the ultimate write in campaign.

Now all we need is a candidate who stands for free speech, personal
privacy and the right to encrypt.......

"I nominate John Perry Barlow. Who will second the nomination?"

No, I'm not kidding.....

Brian

"Communicate globally, Censor locally."
"Only a fool would let children play alone on a superhighway."

I say we elect Jim Bell, then kill him.

More seriously (or maybe I was serious), an "Internet party" just makes 
no sense to me. There's far too much diversity of views for the Internet 
to be a "party." Perhaps the "Internet party" could take shape as a 
corporatist pressure group, but hte record of corporatist systems is not 
great. 

I'm happy with the EFF and such remaining special interest groups with no 
partisan political baggage. "No entangling alliances," as Washington 
said, and no compromises.
