Mitch Kapor might be on to something

Pretty much what i’ve been saying for many years now: we need a new governmental paradigm; one that respects and builds upon the principles of America’s great Constitution and Bill of Rights… but one which is inherently more participatory and, for lack of a better phrase, “open-source.”
Mitch Kapor: A Movement for Fundamental Political Change

I love America, much more so than those idiots who strangle her with her own reigns… but something must be done to improve the whole culture of politics in this nation i live in. Something should be done to build us up past this new millenium, to make us a future-compatible society in which change is seen as good, but is never effected simply for its own sake (or, it goes without saying, for ill). Progress means growth. Lack of progress leads to stagnation, and that is where the greatest civilizations have all tended to fail.

I urge you to read this, and to think about its meaning, and what you can do to further the goal of improving our world.

About jeremy

x jeremy jarratt is a blogger, musician, artist, poet, web developer/designer, armchair philosophizer, and teller of tales. He is currently unemployed, although he has plans. BIG plans. Among the things that he has done for a laugh are minor fractures, cuts, scrapes, and various scabs. Though he's quick to point out that he's no imbecile, we're fairly certain that he thinks the word means some kind of medieval pharmacist. This is his latest home on teh intarwebs.
