It definitely looks like you and I are on the same page, which does
not really surprise me.
The Australia blog entry is fantastic. I'd not seen it before. Some
others are familiar to me, though I hadn't yet put it together in my
mind that you were the author. If there's a particular blog entry (or
even site w/ RSS feed) that I ought to watch, please link me.
If you don't mind me asking, how much do you know about me and my
posting habits? You seem to have been following Anonymous for some
time, and have been in direct contact with Gregg... it's just my own
human desire for input and validation that drives this question. No
obligation to respond, and no response will hurt my feelings. Related
question: has Gregg told you about 'economicturningpoint', our failed
attempt to create a website that would mine the cognitive surplus to
help ameliorate/mitigate the global recession?

P.S. If there is anything at all I can do to help, please don't be shy
about asking.

Having skimmed a bit for now, I would advise you to read some of the op-eds
I've written on the subject, particularly my piece from a year ago,
Anonymous, Australia, and the Nation State as well as my upcoming al-Jazeera
op-ed. At this point I can also tell you that I am in early discussions with
a fellow who wrote the bulk of the constitution for a certain formerly
war-torn nation and that I am putting together a plan that we believe will
set in motion those things that ought to happen over the next decade. Those
who would like to be involved should let me know and also quietly spread the
word.

I composed a post in the 'discussion and debate' forum of
somethingawful.com, where I get most of my news and information. I
ask that you take the time to read it, I welcome any feedback, and -
if you believe pursuing this is in your best interest - to participate
in spreading the word. Here's the link:

Some discussion follows. I am pushing this idea with everyone I have
any connection with, on any forum in which I have regularly
participated. I do not expect success; but cynicism is no reason not
to try. And if I'm going to try, I'm going all-out.
Thanks for your time,
Consensus
