Hi Michel, all,

Would you work with the Ku Klux Klan if it could help foster your goals?
Where do you draw the line?

good question, I would draw the line with explicitely 'anti-p2p' forces such as racism, genderism, etc ..

a question for you: if you are working on a piece of free software, and you discover your co-developer is KKK, would you stop working with her?

these are by no means easy questions, FLOSS is full of libertarians, whose values I object to ...

Isn't dismantling the remainders of the social safety net one of the main
goals of the Tea Party?

yes, and that should be fought tooth and nail; I personally would not ally myself with any 'groups' that advocate this, but what about individuals, who have a partial Tea party identity, say Devin and Natalie on our list, and are 100% pro-freesoftware and pro-ows?

what do you think of nader's alliance with ron paul, around the 3 priorities of ending the war, ending the war on drugs and 3 ??

Best regards
Christian

What is it [...] that separates human beings from the so-called lower
animals? Well, as I see it, it's exactly one half-dozen significant things:
Humor, Imagination, Eroticism--as opposed to the mindless, instinctive
mating of glowworms or raccoons--Spirituality, Rebelliousness, and
Aesthetics, an appreciation of beauty for its own sake.
