It's about an idea of an "Open NPO" (which is basically an NPO with shares, 
a democratic decision-making head, and open information about pretty much 
everything) idea that some of my buddies and I have. If you want the Spec 
Sheet for it, just ask.
No, I usually don't concern myself about US politics or economic issues, 
because they generally strike me as bad legislation/business, and often 
bother me as a result. They were merely examples of a system that fails so 
scale in a timely manner. One of the problems with politics today is: 
Businesses are international, government is national. Business as a whole 
can be a very powerful force, and are often-times behind legislation by 2 of 
the 3 branches of the government (due to button-holing, Political Action 
Groups, etc (if you don't believe me, pick up any book covering US 
government and read it)). That's the way the system is _supposed_ to work, 
and it's a great system for that. But the business isn't the same anymore; 
It's ridiculously huge and powerful, and it's going to continue getting 
bigger. If you don't believe me on that one, either, 
google.com/search?q=globalization+economy.

The idea is: an Open NPO will scale very well with huge economies. It's 
merely an early idea, but I think it's going to be a success.

Now how does this tie into Zynot? Well, I'd like to work on it, and see if I 
can get the idea passed through the Securities and Exchanges Committee, 
which I'll need to pay some lawyers for (which is why I want to get it done 
right the first time; I don't have loads of cash to waste =). Once it's 
do-able, and it has a 501(c)-type NPO registration(so it actually has a 
classification, and you can _register_ it as an Open NPO), I'd like to see 
if the Zynot people would like to change to that system. Hopefully, it would 
offer the same tax-benefits as a 501(c)(3), which is what Zynot is right 
now. Perhaps it'll offer even more, depending on what the people in power 
think of it.

So long as large-corporation bigwigs don't find out about its passing, they 
won't try to "protect their interests" through briberies and such.

That's the story, and how it ties into Zynot. I think I'll probably make 
some entries on the TikiWiki later on about it, so I don't have to repeat 
myself all the time =) Sorry for the confusion, Daniel.
