My interest in the Pirate Party has been growing too. I was following what happened in the recent German elections. I want to get involved and I've been looking into joining my local Australian chapter. Even if they can get some traction for copyright, patent reform and fair use - it would be a great thing.

I remember you had a blog about government disappearing for web-like, open source community stuff (I might be mis-remembering the exact situation). But the PIRATE PARTY seems to be pushing this idea of the best of open source methodology with "API" for dealing with government, and government dealing with itself. Seemed pretty interesting, though, I haven't done any reading to see how different it would really be from a system of "laws" vs "API", perhaps just a paradigm shift in the way we think of governments. I like the shift of thinking of government as a tool instead of us as the pawns of its whimsy.

Thanks for the quality!

I haven't seen it! Though the book was pretty awesome, even translated. I'll have to put it on my list though.

I saw this and couldn't stop laughing.

I never ever said you were right wing. & You didn't stipulate that you were talking about sales tax, there was no way I could have known you meant sales tax.

@<a rel="nofollow" href="http://videosift.com/member/Peroxide" title="member since February 17th, 2007" class="profilelink">Peroxide I am hardly right wing, and many state use something other than income tax. Usually sales tax, which is at a flat rate. So, it is already there to be seen really. The US government used to subside nearly completely on tariffs as well, which is also flat. Long tradition of flat, sales taxes around the world, so I don't know exactly what you mean by your comment. Consumption taxes seem more fair as it taxes people who do and use things as they do and use them. Which I think was one of the arguments that was being thrown around as to the level of fairness. If you drive a gas hog of a car, you pay more consumption tax....makes sense to me! If you wanted to make it progressive, you could change the rate on certain things, or offer food stampish things to people that are low income, basically forfeiting their tax back to them in the way of rebates. Lots of different ways to handle it. I just know that now, I can't file my taxes without the help of a computer. And even then, I don't know if it is right. At any time the government could audit me and really, I wouldn't know how valid their claim would be. How many of you are sure that you aren't guilty of tax fraud? Have you read the X million lines of tax codes?

Glad you liked it, I quite enjoyed it as well. You should sift the french toast one, I watched the first bit of it but didn't have time to finish it earlier.

I haven't laughed so hard in while (in reference to your forever alone cooking). Awesome find. I laughed even harder at the french toast one.
