[atlarge-discuss] Re: FW: Provisional Membership Committee -Verified

As for Joe Bordo's previous attempt at a veification committee, may I just add that the mailing list name
http://groups.yahoo.com/group/InternetAtLarge_ByteMe_Cafe_N_Playground that was apparently used as a closed mailing list for his aforementioned effort is quite offesive. "Byte Me" may (on the surface)seem like simply a cute play on words, but it is indicative of a frivolous, indeed contemptuous attitude which offends me, and that I find particularly distasteful. Not to mention that it reminds me of a circus act (as already mentioned by another member) and it belittles the entire verification idea. I cannot, in good conscience, allow somebody who's here for a joyride (and self-admittedly so!) to run the most important committee of this organization. I am appalled to see that certain others don't seem to mind... indeed, that they wish to encourage it.

"The science of jurisprudence regards the state and power as the
ancients regarded fire- namely, as something existing absolutely.
But for history, the state and power are merely phenomena, just as for
modern physics fire is not an element but a phenomenon.

>From this fundamental difference between the view held by history
and that held by jurisprudence, it follows that jurisprudence can tell
minutely how in its opinion power should be constituted and what
power- existing immutably outside time- is, but to history's questions
about the meaning of the mutations of power in time it can answer
nothing."
--Leo Tolstoy, "War and Peace"
