Pirate Party

In the US our two major political parties are like two small children fighting. They call each other names, they push each other, they tattle on each other, and when they get caught doing something wrong the other one gleefully exaggerates the offense. And like small children they’re self centered and don’t really care for the rights others.

One area where this is obvious is copyright issues. The rights of the recording and movie industries have taken precedence over the rights of individuals. Someone has decided to create a political party to address this issue. It’s called The Pirate Party of the United States.

I’ll probably wait to see the details of their plans before determining whether or not I support them. However it’s good to see somebody doing something.
