Hey, my Assassination Politics essay   https://cryptome.org/ap.htm was also intended to "make politicians and legislators irrelevant to the future...".
But with a little more 'kick' than Bill Frezza apparently intended, huh?
Here, I should explain that I never resented Bill for apparently banning the AP idea off Digitaliberty just before it arrived on the Cypherpunks list..  Especially in hindsight, and considering what the Feds later did to me.  And I've since found out that he was a respectable businessman at that time (No,I don't mean to imply he's no longer a respectable businessman, BTW), and hosting AP discussions in 1995 was not especially respectable, I suppose.
