</div>The only reason to try to set up another government is if your current<br>
government's basic principles or constitution are against your own<br>
basic principles. Unless you want to be a dictator, this is likely<br>
not the case (at least in the U.S.). Consider this carefully. A lot<br>
of people have invested a lot of science of political thought over the<br>
past 3000+ years.<br>
<br>
"By the people, of the people, for the people". This is what the U.S.<br>
prides itself upon. If it isn't happening and you feel the existing<br>
(standard) procedures are too slow or corrupt to make a change,<br>
*force* the issue and *take it to court*. Argue your f*cking case.<br>
<br>
Here's one: make a freedombox that would create an awesome mesh<br>
network operating in ranges currently disallowed by the F.C.C. But<br>
don't be another failure like Napster: be prepared, do your research,<br>
have the economic and social-policitical cases ready when you get a 1<br>
million nodes and start popping up on their radar....<br>
<br>
Otherwise, it's best not to re-invent the wheel, because it's very<br>
likely you're going to run into the same issue in your "new<br>
government" that the old government had.<br>
<br>
You might check out the pangaia manifesto and <a href="http://pangaia.sf.net" target="_blank">pangaia.sf.net</a>. There<br>
is it argued that the basic problem affecting most everybody right now<br>
is the assumption of "right to property". As it currently stands in<br>
most so-called "developed" countries it it placed well above the<br>
"right to sleep" -- something that no human can do without. Good<br>
luck in any case....<br>
