I accept your position in this matter. I am quarreling because I want to start 
the forming of an opinion. Where is the discussion which is needed? Most of 
the readers even don't know what anarchy means. It is hard to accept a 
decision on this level of information. If we are not an anarchist movement 
then why should we be a democratic movement? We shouldn't pretend to be one 
just because we are told, democracy is the best social system. Pirates 
question authority. If you don't want to vote for my amendtment I suggest to 
vote for Jens Seipenbusch's and remove the 1st paragraph of Preamble 
entirely.

A nice motto.
