• my opinion has always been that the money-blood is pooling at the head of our society – it is making us dizzy.

that’s where the tag-board comes in :)

• My ideas about the what the role of government ought to be are quite different from Stallman’s ideas.
  • I don’t believe we should live in a welfare state.
  • I am against people being coerced into paying for things they don’t want.
  • I’d like to see people take more personal responsibility for their lives.
• I also think that the Federal Income Tax concentrates way too much power in the Federal Government.

Consider this—if we didn’t have a Federal Income Tax, the military-industrial complex would cease to exist, because they’d lose their source of income.

My opinion is that the Federal Income Tax has allowed the US Government to get WAY WAY WAY too big and too powerful. It never should have existed, and even the way the IRS came into existence is suspicious.

It wasn’t that long ago that the US was a country with no federal income tax. Considering how much people (of all political persuasions) hate paying income tax, I find it hard to believe that the creation of the IRS was the will of the people.

As long as I’m not infringing on someone else’s freedom, I want to be able to do anything I want.

There are many problems in the world.

However, if your solution requires coercion, you’ve made a mistake.

You have to keep searching until you can find a solution that doesn’t require coercion.

This is one of my core beliefs.

Coercion and Freedom cannot coexist.

When you coerce someone, you are saying that I am the master and you are the slave.

I refuse to do that to anyone.

• i support crazy people.
• crazy people can make history.
• it’s evil people i’m worried about.
• i don’t doubt Ron Paul is honest in his views.
• also, some of his more popular views are genuinely felt and should be further disseminated through his campaign.
• so I don’t mean to sound mean and dissing about Ron Paul, he seems like a nice enough person, just don’t let us get talking about economics, unless you want me to change his views for you of course :)

Ron Paul

I support Dennis Kucinich for president. I am confident that he would run the country for the benefit of its citizens, not for the benefit of global business. He is the only candidate whose values and goals I fully support. He also champions impeachment of Bush.

Why would I, as a Liberal, have anything favorable to say about a Republican such as Ron Paul?

I have fundamental disagreements with Ron Paul. I support a welfare state and the New Deal. He wants to weaken social security and medicare, in effect throwing the poor back on their own resources. He wants to abolish income tax, which would mean reliance on taxes that fall most heavily on the poor and let the rich off lightly. This would increase concentration of wealth, which is already dangerously excessive, and the poor would pay for it.

In ordinary times I would simply oppose a candidate with such views, but these are not ordinary times. The Bush regime has contempt for human rights, and most of the 2008 candidates are little better than Bush. Most voted for the disgraceful U. S.A.P. A.T. R.I.O.T. Act, which authorized the Bush regime to collect businesses’ (and even libraries’) records about individuals without a court order. Most of them voted to launch a war of aggression in Iraq, accepting Bush’s patent lies with the innocence of a sheltered child. Obama, who was not in the Senate when those were voted on, nonetheless does not convincingly oppose them.

Aside from Dennis Kucinich and Ron Paul, those candidates that criticize the occupation of Iraq do not show a firm will to end it. They dwell on “mismanagement”, as if the worst you could say about Bush’s crime was that “he didn’t plan it well enough.”

The only Democratic or Republican candidate, aside from Kucinich, that clearly stands for human rights, democracy, and an end to torture, secret prisons and the occupation of Iraq is Ron Paul. I urge Republicans to support him for that party’s nomination.

i’m going to get dinner.

Srini—you’ve known me long enough to know that I have a preference for small systems. That aesthetic carries over into my politics, as well. Big government is like bloated code that lacks conciseness, and that’s ugly to me.

and i agree 100% that the source code of government is legacy spaghetti. so stallman and you disagree on ideology, and maybe i am somewhere in the middle. let me also say that i understand that stallman is perhaps a bit ideologically confused and is characterizing Paul as a more black and white character than he really is – perhaps Paul has a more nuanced view which takes some of Stallman’s points into consideration.

Weapons of Mass Distraction

Gravel deserves to be sandwiched between hotties.

The income tax is used to pay back, with interest, the money we borrow from a private bank known as the Federal Reserve. There would be no national debt if we didn’t borrow. So, instead of borrowing, Ron Paul suggests we make our own money. You see, the government doesn’t make the money anymore ever since the Federal Reserve was established in 1913. The bigger question is, how can we AFFORD the IRS and the Federal Reserve? We became a world power without it – not with it.

it’s just that this is a legacy nation and we are responsible for the welfare of less well adjusted people, if only because without a framework they may turn to crime :( poverty -> crime…

i support crazy people who want to start NEW societies. But crazy people who want to remake the existing society… well, that can skew either way.

The US Dollar is in deep trouble….

That’s the way MetaNotes works – you’re going to have ALL THIS SPACE to explore within each document.

Let’s put the WIDE back into the WORLD WIDE WEB :)

One of my favorite things about the new era of the Web is the way people are just jumping onboard and creating cool stuff to entertain me :) I mean seriously, there’s so much out there that who doesn’t feel overwhelmed?

• MetaNotes is how I save my ideas so they don’t whip away in the wind.
• MetaNotes makes me a lot smarter than I was before:
  • Because I can SAVE GAME on what I’m learning for later
  • Because I can BUILD ON YESTERDAY’S WORK
  • Because I can SEE TONS OF DIFFERENT DOCUMENTS ON THE SAME PAGE
  • Because I can SHARE MY NOTESPACES WITH MY FRIENDS
  • Because I can REMEMBER WHAT I READ.

You can click and drag the background to scroll.

...just like Google Maps.

thank you.

we need an integrated chat in here or something.

the icons after the checkbox are supposed to represent:

• who can read
• who can write
• starred by the owner

we can pick different icons—I’m not attached to any of them.

we can do better than the tag board.

• a time log & a space log
• the time log is OVERALL for your account
• the space log is SPECIFIC to the space
• and then we can help people set up twitter circles or something for a walkie-talkie ?

• because we have so many of them.
  • and they’re all really important.
• they need to be taken at any time
  • and probably more often.
• we were TAKING notes haphazardly too.
• nothing else on the Web or in software really worked for us
  • too boring and word-processor-like
• it’s hard to find your notes when you need them.
  • and who has time to organize them properly?
• so we created MetaNotes.
• and we made it FREE. (gratis)
• won’t you join us?

To whom do we owe the national debt?

• hi – we still have some work to do but it’s getting there.
• some quick tips:
  • use asterisk-space at the beginning of each line to create a bulletpointed list.
    • use asterisk-asterisk-space to create a sub-point underneath one of these bulletpoints.
• to put an image, surround its URL by exclamation points.
• to insert a youtube video, just put its embed into a new note.
• have fun !

• your time
• your ideas
• your projects
• your dreams
• your teams
• your activism
• anything you want.

• A PLACE FOR YOUR NOTES.
  • Just like Myspace is a place for friends, this is a place for notes and collaboration.
• it’s a postmodern wiki.
  • it’s a way to compose before you boot up Word.
  • it’s a quick way to jot down information.
  • it’s a way to keep track of current events.
• it’s a notetaking system which lets you drag notes around the screen and share your notes with everybody or nobody, your choice.
• you can quickly create an “online scrapbook” filled with your notes, images, youtube videos and almost anything else on the internet.
• you can brainstorm with it like nobody’s business.
