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. --Daijoubu >From: Daniel Armyr <[email protected]> >To: "Cliff Radtke" <[email protected]> >Subject: Re: [zynaut] Oops >Date: Sat, 9 Aug 2003 21:56:52 +0200 >MIME-Version: 1.0 >Received: from smtp2.home.se ([213.214.194.102]) by >mc6-f18.law1.hotmail.com with Microsoft SMTPSVC(5.0.2195.5600); Sat, 9 Aug >2003 13:06:35 -0700 >Received: from quad [email protected] [81.225.8.69]by smtp2.home.se with >NetMail SMTP Agent $Revision: 3.22.1.3 $ on Novell NetWare;Sat, 09 Aug >2003 22:05:13 +0200 >X-Message-Info: JGTYoYF78jEHjJx36Oi8+YDSEg8qKPPD >Message-Id: <[email protected]> >In-Reply-To: <[email protected]> >References: <[email protected]> >Organization: Irrbloss Productios >X-Mailer: Sylpheed version 0.9.0claws (GTK+ 1.2.10; i686-pc-linux-gnu) >Return-Path: [email protected] >X-OriginalArrivalTime: 09 Aug 2003 20:06:36.0108 (UTC) >FILETIME=[BC7DA8C0:01C35EB1] > >Am I missing a few mails from the list, or are you just plain flaming USA >on the zynaut list?
