You can donate me money using PayPal: http://www.shlomifish.org/meta/donate/ Even a little will be appreciated, but so far I received very little in PayPal donations (and PayPal limits the PayPal donate button to .us-accepted non-profits due to American Law braindamage[France]). So do me a favour and donate now. I should note that if one company is the sponsor, it has more effect than just thousands of contributors, but I'm open to suggestions. [France] - from what I understood French laws allows commercial companies to accept donations, like it should be. Bandcamp ( https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bandcamp ) circumvents this problem by allowing people to pay as much as they want beyond a certain price for a download. Like the film https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jurassic_Park_%28film%29 says «Life will always find a way». I do think American Law and the law systems of most other countries are too complicated and political and they can be simplified to a large extent. Nevertheless, I'm no longer a fanatical libertarian, and think that welfare laws may be a good thing in moderation, and that the government can often encourage industry and enterpreneurship (e.g: the defense industry). I still would like to see a low and flat income tax (e.g: 30% of the earned money above the minimum wage), full drugs, prostitution, and gambling legalisation, abolishing the Israeli constitutional discrimination, and gradually making the Israeli Defence Force (IDF) completely voluntary. But I'm going to try to convince people, including the lawmakers and the religious leaders of what I think, rather than be a rebel without a clue. A certain anti-Israeli person told me on IRC that he can solve the problems of the Middle East in 20 minutes - by dropping an atomic bomb on Israel. I don't support dropping an atomic bomb anywhere in Iran, because I'm almost sure that the Iranian bubble is very quickly expanding and that their religious leaders are both more rational and moral/ethical now, and less willing to get themselves in trouble by trying to drop an atomic bomb anywhere in Israel. We shouldn't rest on our laurels naturally, but if we continue to struggle, I think that Israel and most of the Middle East can survive and prosper. > And please update us on the progress. > I will, sure.
