Same thing we do every night....
So, I can no longer support the Libertarian party. It was a good ride, but in the ideal Libertarian world, we would have Liberties, yes, but Wal Mart would run the world. No thank you.

I cannot find a third party that describes my political view. So I am thinking of starting my own. It would be some kind of Libertarian-Socialism with a big helping of techno-love, and free information. I was dreaming of a politcal party based on the hacker ethic. I thought it could be called "The Hacker Party" but I don't think its the best name, and I would have to spend too much time explaining my definition of Hacker, that its just not worth it. The Geek Party would be to limited in scope. Then I came up with the name:

The Liberty And Networking Party


Ofcourse most of the time we would just shorten "Liberty And Networking" into an acronym...

Platform details to follow....

Hmm. 'Networking Party' brings to mind sessions where people hook up their computers and laptops for massive multiplayer shooting games. But then, that fits in with the overall gestalt, eh?

Hah, sounds like it maps to my views far better than any of the extant parties. Throw in a side of environmentalism and I'm all there.

/me signs up for the LAN party ^_^

This will be party with a HALO around it.
All worthy leaders will receive a MEDAL OF HONOR
All policies will be transperant, in BLACK AND WHITE
We promise not to COUNTERSTRIKE unnecessarily against any sovereign nation.

As for Wal Mart, I'm pretty sure they already run a good part of our lives. They pretty much dictate what soap we use. What brand of shampoo we buy. What notebook we buy...
