No Copyrot
Things I wish I wrote (and some I did)
Two related slogans seem apropos the recent style usage kerfuffle that I was (unfortunately, but unavoidably) drawn into by myrmecine minds:
- Humanity will not be happy until the day when the last aristocrat has been hung with the guts of the last priest (18th century radical priest, Jean Meslier)
- Humanity will not be happy until the day when the last bureaucrat has been hung with the guts of the last capitalist (Situationist slogan written on wall in the Sorbonne rectorate in May 1968)
Other little quips
- Keeping medicines from the bloodstreams of the sick; food from the bellies of the hungry; books from the hands of the uneducated; technology from the underdeveloped; and putting advocates of freedom in prisons. Intellectual property is to the 21st century what the slave trade was to the 16th. (yours truly, as an email .signature; quoted around the 'net)
- The specter of free information is haunting the `Net! All the powers of IP- and crypto-tyranny have entered into an unholy alliance...ideas have nothing to lose but their chains. Unite against "intellectual property" and anti-privacy regimes! (ditto, though I may have borrowed just a little in writing it ☺)
- If I seem shortsighted to you, it is only because I have stood on the backs of midgets. (also a .signature of mine, but "stolen" from some dimly remembered source)
- Do not treat bad-faith engagement as if it were in good-faith solely to preserve a superficial cordiality. It is not OK to lie outright, nor to fixatedly cling to your own ignorance; Or in the language of South Park: You have the right to call shennanigans (bullshit).
