Their premise is simple: we have lost our republic and they are
working on regaining it. Larry has been successful in several areas,
especially Law and Computation. His Code Is Law book nailed much of
what we are struggling with.
Campaign finance is a problem, so I should want the prototypical 1% fat
cat (Koch) to sponsor more tea party candidates?
Frying pan, fire. No thanks. These tea party people are just jealous
that they are not big dog, but they wouldn't know what to do if they
were. I'm certainly no Republican, but it's hard not to feel sorry for
the damage being done to their party.
Sure, I'm all in favor of bounding the power of all organizations
through the use of technology. I don't need to join with the crazies
to see the value in that.
