Comments on: We have some suggestions http://shianux.jiyuuu.org/2005/08/17/we_have_some_suggestions/ The truth, the whole truth, and nothing but the truth.

As to whether I want to be a politician or not... hahaha.... well, given my views on state power, shouldn't the answer be obvious? My dream to help society is to be as successful a businessperson as I can be, and then using the money I've earned to do good in this world. Something along the lines of the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation. As much as I do not like Microsoft's business tactics, I believe Bill Gates is using his wealth to do good in this world. The millions he has spent on health care in Africa alone is worth more than all the aid ever given to them, as he takes a personal interest in his aid-giving, and actually actively directs the way the aid is used and distributed. Much more efficient and effective than giving aid to the corrupt regimes governing the African countries. Hence, I believe private action can do more to alleviate the world's problems than government action can. BL:

I totally support the idea of writing a wiki on alternative policies that illustrating different points of view to the current establishment and perhaps it will be useful at some point. I don't know whether it is in your ambition to be a politician. So, I just drop by and give my support to this movement. My view is that it's better to govern by necessity than to govern by ideology, particularly when it comes to formulating economic policies.

If the wiki does take off, you could ask for donations to register a domain and buy some web hosting space. If the policy discussion generated was salient and seemed to have the potential to enact some real changes, I'd be glad to donate some money to the cause.
