Selected Transcript of IRC:

[21:40:45] <kiwano> i just reviewed my taxes today, and notice that the
politicial contributions section is rather, well, blank
[21:40:52] <kiwano> i think i'm going to change that this year
[21:41:07] <Coroner> heh
[21:41:32] <kiwano> i think that every time a politician promotes our
views in the legislature, i'll send his/her campaign a dollar
[21:41:58] <kiwano> and any time one opposs us, i'll send that dollar
to his/her opponents
[21:42:18] <kiwano> with explanatory notes attached to those dollars,
of course
[21:42:59] <kiwano> i have a feeling that certain opposition riding
associations in hamilton are going to be getting some non-trivial
political contributions from me this year :)
[21:43:17] <Coroner> indeed
[21:44:03] <kiwano> maybe we should divide up the task of scanning
hansard for debates on copyright and posting them to the mailing list
[21:44:22] <kiwano> perhaps i'll post this to the list
[21:44:50] <Coroner> well, I'm scanning all of it anyway, although not
just for copyright.  I'd be in favour of something more organized,
though.

End transcript.

Any interest in scanning Hansard? Any interest in putting together a
page where we can "keep score" for given politicians? Anyone interested
in encouraging others to make contributions based on our assessments?
