Experiment

          IRCNow is to make it a network where the users have control, a network of

          the user, by the user, for the user

08:42 < jrmu> I consider this network an experiment in self government. But as we all

          know, democracies are full of chaos and anarchy, and many democratic

          experiments end up in total failure

08:43 < jrmu> Now I have spent quite a lot of time studying the history of different

          political forms from many nations, and my conclusion is that the best

          models for us are Rome and America, those two being the largest and

          strongest republicans in history

08:43 < jrmu> republics*

08:44 < jrmu> If we succeed here, we will have created the first digital self-governing

          community of users -- I am not aware of any other that exists in this

          world
