That's why I

Made my own five choice poll... 

 

One loves to posess arms, though they hope to never have occassion for them.

If I Had Created My Own Poll

it would have read like this:

O Mickey Mouse

O Goofy

O Anonymous Larry

O S6

O Norm

 

I like my choices for President more than what my actual choices are!

NOW we are getting somewhere....

Two gun totin' guys and little old me.

The debates will be held in two separate towns via electronic media.

If

You join me as VP we can eliminate the Norm faction from this race.  I am sure your age and experience balancing my passion and firm beliefs will lead to Victory!

something else...

there are plenty of good books about this, plenty of good ideas and few opportunities to test them. i put my money on participatory economics.

for those who don't want to link, Parecon is in short a planned economy with a limited competitive market. simply the best of both worlds. bottom up planning means no monopolies by the state, limited competition means the ability to ascend class lines.

this is the economics of anarchism. i suppose it deserves it's own thread and i don't want to hijack, but if i could vote for something else, this would be it.

Yeah...

I want a "Who Cares" option so you can tell your question is stoopid.

I Never Said Your Question Was "Stoopid"

And I explained my point on that thread.

I believe you owe me an apology and you need to let go & move on.  You're creating drama, acting childish and you're certainly not promoting an atmosphere of community building or one that encourages others to post.

You hit the nail on the head

I've suggested

not having a president several times here on OlyBlog, without much response. Perhaps the concept is too weird. Maybe we are only one mere notch away from those crown worshipping English-- you know, those arrogant guys we had to break away from in order to develop our own special and unique brand of arrogance.

Anyway. Why isn't Mike Gravel on the poll? He is still in the race.

I'm ready to have

 A declaration of rights and no government period.  Let people organize for the common need and then disband.  The problem is people will want to keep the power that comes with a position.  A major social change is needed.  Read Freehold by Michael Williamson.

I'm Sorry Steven

You're right, he should be on the poll, I screwed up.
