really good question. I do not have an answer for it. Just hope we do our
best and be able to get the most of any good idea we find in our way.

Obviously!!
But trying to understand the diverse aborigen logic (we have several
different aborigen cultures here in Argentina) is important too.
Because helps us understand what they ask, what they need and how to search
for solutions that will be in benefit for us all.
Obviously is important too understand the logic of the people that have the
actual control of the world or sections of the world too.

I really do not see the contradiction. All I`ve read carries for me the
same lenses.
Are you sure you are understanding me?
Perhaps he, if is reading this email should tell me why my pirate lenses
are so far away.
Until that moment, and considering I agree with almost all is said in that
book, I really do not see the necesity to revisit my pirate lenses.

when I say the share issue, I was meaning the lack of free sharing.

Like the idea of using the word caring!!
I`ll start using it more often and trying to add it on the argentine pp
news, comments, etc..
Perhaps something like having a "sharing is caring" slogan. I really like
it.

I really do not know exactly all the other pirates parties thinking, but we
added the human rights into our principles. We though it was important.
Not sure what else humanism involves to you.

Do you not believe in horizontal movements?
I do believe in them. I do not think all horizontal ways of working are
excellent just because they are horizontal.
For example I do not like much the liquid one, and reading several examples
on this list where it didn´t work, made me liking it even less.

I believe we must find what kind of horizontal movements works and beging
building from there.
Right now, the method we are using in Argentina is working great. Not sure
what will happen when we grow up. But we are continuously thinking what
things could go wrong and try to avoid them.
We have hope the way we are doing things will work.

I invite you to read our carta orgánica.  I really recomend the reading of
it. It shows the way we think we can achieve horizontality.
I do not have the link right here.. but in www.partidopirata.com.ar should
be a link to it. If you do not find it, ask me and later I`ll send it to
you.
(Note for other pirates: It still needs adding some little things. That`s
why there isn`t an English translation yet.)


> There is NO democratic way out of an IDIOCRACY. Do not become one.

Hope not.
We are trying to use the horizontallity to hear and understand all the
voices, try to obtain consensus and build from there whenever we can.
 Voting is the last thing we do. Perhaps is slow, but it teaches us all
before we decide, and that, I hope will obliterate Idiocracy or at least
diminish it.
It maybe slow in some cases, but  we find a way to accelerate  simple
decisions so I believe that could make us not stay paralized waiting for
concensus on simple decisions.
