The only reason to try to set up another government is if your current
government's basic principles or constitution are against your own
basic principles.   Unless you want to be a dictator, this is likely
not the case (at least in the U.S.).   Consider this carefully.  A lot
of people have invested a lot of science of political thought over the
past 3000+ years.

"By the people, of the people, for the people".  This is what the U.S.
prides itself upon.  If it isn't happening and you feel the existing
(standard) procedures are too slow or corrupt to make a change,
*force* the issue and *take it to court*.  Argue your f*cking case.

Here's one:  make a freedombox that would create an awesome mesh
network operating in ranges currently disallowed by the F.C.C.  But
don't be another failure like Napster:  be prepared, do your research,
have the economic and social-policitical cases ready when you get a 1
million nodes and start popping up on their radar....

Otherwise, it's best not to re-invent the wheel, because it's very
likely you're going to run into the same issue in your "new
government" that the old government had.

You might check out the pangaia manifesto and pangaia.sf.net.  There
is it argued that the basic problem affecting most everybody right now
is the assumption of "right to property".  As it currently stands in
most so-called "developed" countries it it placed well above the
"right to sleep"  -- something that no human can do without.  Good
luck in any case....
