I was a little curious why the part about being pragmatic was included though. It seems we must be pragmatic to survive and get along but it also can go against our principals and thus be wrong. Pragmatism is something which bothers and torments me. We must make compromises yet we shouldn't make compromises. I read the platform and it almost all seems great.

Chris, I did it but it begs a question. In the time it took you to post telling me to do it, you could have done it. So why tell me? Just do it. As much as possible, I'd like this movement to be a leaderless Ursula LeGuin style utopic anarchy of equally empowered citizens. Thanks, Ken.

I read your blog but don't listen to your mp3's so I have no idea what you're talking about. The above link explains quite a bit, so if you agree with that, then paste it in ... Sounds great to me! BTW, re the Gibson quote, one of *my* favorite all time quotes (has led my old home page for a decade) is: "The future is stupid." -- Jenny Holzer To thought of in the following context: the education system has collapsed, the concept of striving for understanding via education is under attack, and this will only get worse in the future.
