Decisions

My long term goal is to be in office as a Pirate. I do not plan to be Captain for more than a year, but will hold the post as long as it is asked of me and I know that I can be useful to it. I had chosen this party because they are not Republicans nor Democrats. Pirates are not left nor right. The goals could better be likened to that of the love child of the anarchist and constitutionalist. We do not ask for transparency, we demand it. That is why I had no objection to Liz’s demand to keep all dialog public for all to see. That is why I speak to you here and now. That is why I am a Pirate. I have long studied different systems by which we have ruled ourselves and how each one has failed in turn. The only system that has ever worked is when those that have authority are accountable and never hold that authority for long. We need to end the secret councils, we need to end the corporate wall. That is why I am a Pirate. I know that we each have some ideal that is true for each one of us. Each one of us matters in a way that is very difficult to articulate but very easy to feel. Each one of us has to recognize the importance of individual autonomy. All laws should not take away that which I choose for myself. Laws should be off my body. That is why I am a Pirate. We are the ones whom have worked pulling people together and I will be honored to continue to work to streamline, innovate and make everyplace we go a better place for all. I am proud to be a Pirate.

[9:12pm] kusanagi: I mean, the majority of this was brought up from stuff the alleged webmaster brought up. I still have not seen any changes to the bylaws in regard to the positions, which is concerning.
[9:13pm] jokeefe: that’s my fault

[9:13pm] jokeefe: I haven’t added it due to technical issues
[9:14pm] kusanagi: jokeefe, it's.. pretty lengthy. I saw a number of things in a proposal by Johan that was brought up in May, and while the entire document is troubling, there are several things that stood out.

[9:14pm] jokeefe: will post link
[9:14pm] kusanagi: Okay, that's a major problem right there.

[9:15pm] kusanagi: Ther document that was at email #0 of the thread that I wound up called for VoNC in has a shift of Pirate Policy to being "left-centrist." We have NEVER been that.

[9:17pm] sayyida: Pirate_Joe: has spoken to me and explained his view and I think we should hear it

[9:17pm] kusanagi: Then let's hear it.
[9:18pm] Pirate_Joe: This has been a long and challenging week but I hope to address some concerns brought forth. There has been much stated but I would like to touch upon my motivations for why I am here.
