*We just don't have a slot in the calendar to rewrite Nepal's constitution. Maybe after SXSW is over. This is busytime for us.

I want you both then. Come on, man. We're going to proceed at the same time with framework for virtual cantons. The time is right. I called all this shit and so did you. I'm talking to Radon again tomorrow. Please consider calling me tomorrow night. I don't have the same skills you have and you know perfectly well what it means to be a sci fi author.

I would be giving you people. Or having you find another sci-fi
author to take them. Either way, I am in discussions with Jenik
Radon, who wrote bulk of Nepal's consituttion, to write some new
ones - for Tunisia, other countries, and then for the virtual
republic we will establish within next few years. I'd like you
involved. Call me?

So that's where it came from. Some of my people in project pm are
working on openmesh along with anon. I'm not tech by any means so
I've had to recruit lots of IT and encryption fanatics. But I don't
even use encryption myself as I have an eccentric policy on personal
transparency.

can't afford to maintain one as I work mostly pro-bono these days,

bunch of lawyers but they're busy with stuff. My GF has a car though
and works as art consultant so can probably come down whenever,

Actually just got my application for SXSW credentials turned down
two days ago because Michael Hastings of Rolling Stone is in
Peshewar or some shit and I guess my letter of assignment from Sam
Apple at Faster Times didn't cut it. How many federal agencies do I
need after me before I get to report on Interactive? Do we need to
knock over the House of Saud? Shadowrun the Pentagon? Institutions
are nonsense.
I lived in Austin for seven years. Am currently hiding in Dallas,
not very well. Will be in Austin soon, maybe even this weekend, and
would love to meet. Lived in East Africa and Mexico through portions
of my formative years, and in unusual circumstances. Yes, that will
make one cyberpunk. I use Briticisms out of contempt for all of
man's works.
I've got a lot I need to tell someone and don't have anyone to which
I can tell it all so you've just volunteered.

*Hmmm. So, how come you use Briticisms like "horrid," "keen on,"
and "one may retort"? And for that matter, why do you write for the
Grauniad? Not that I have any
problem with Anglophile Texans, being one myself. You spent some
formative years overseas, maybe? I sure did.

PS. I have to give a big speech at the end of SXSW Interactive in a
few weeks,
and I wonder if you have any revolutionary manifestos I could
length from the podium. Something to make the hippie web designers
sit up straight in their stackable chairs. Like maybe five minutes'
worth.

Seriously, though, do you just think the linguistic structure is
