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........ Because there's way too little for us to agree on outside of Internet issues; it's like forming the Pro- or Anti- Abortion Party, or the Womens' Party or whatever.
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?"
For a write-in candidate, you don't _need_ a second. Just put it in your .signature file and see what happens. On the other hand, John's a Republican, and they desparately need _somebody_ as a candidate :-) #-- # Thanks; Bill # Bill Stewart, stewarts@ix.netcom.com / billstewart@attmail.com +1-415-442-2215 # http://www.idiom.com/~wcs Pager +1-408-787-1281 !
