			[13:32] <jokeefe> BTW: you all want to march with us as part of Boston Pride?
			[13:32] <jokeefe> Is Occupy going to be marching?
			[13:32] <[bsod]> possibly
			[13:32] <brandonj> I'm sure there will be an Occupy group there
			[13:33] <[bsod]> occupy the gays
			[13:33] <[bsod]> are you guys everywhere basically?
			[13:33] <brandonj> queer/trans da will probably try to show up and disrupt the shit out of it
			[13:34] <brandonj> [bsod]: we try
			[13:34] * passstab reminds everyone we are a political party being logged
			[13:35] <jokeefe> logging ourselves, yes, thanks for the reminder passstab
			[13:35] <[bsod]> im sure you can find people crazier than us at any political meeting
			[13:35] <jokeefe> aye!
			[13:35] <passstab> but they aren't being recorded
			[13:35] <passstab> always
			[13:35] <[bsod]> tell that to ron paul
			[13:35] <[bsod]> heh, nvm
			[13:36] <[bsod]> im pretty sure the fbi atleast sits in on political things of significance, with is not a good sign for us that they havent even bothered to say hi
			[13:37] <passstab> fbi?
			[13:37] <brandonj> we know that everything in #occupyboston and #occupybostonit has been compromised
			[13:37] <[bsod]> do you guys use irc also ?
			[13:37] <brandonj> yeah
			[13:38] <[bsod]> yea, feds all over
			[13:38] <brandonj> we're on irc.indymedia.org
			[13:38] <[bsod]> i might say hi sometime
			[13:38] <[bsod]> or how about now
			[13:40] <jokeefe> any how, so neither erixoltan or i have written the call for possible 2012 public policy questions for the november ballot. I should have better news by next meeting.
			[13:41] <[bsod]> we should be able to figure out what our taxes pay for
			[13:41] <[bsod]> property tax goes to the school and fire department ect... sales tax goes to the.... no one knows
			[13:43] <[bsod]> something speciffic to piracy and something specific to massachusetts, might be tricky to line up
			[13:44] <jokeefe> on ma spending check out - http://opencheckbook.itd.state.ma.us/analytics/saw.dll?Dashboard
			[13:45] <[bsod]> cool
			[13:46] <[bsod]> http://opencheckbook.itd.state.ma.us/analytics/saw.dll?Dashboard&PortalPath=%2Fshared%2FTransparency%2F_portal%2FHome&Page=State%20Spending
			[13:47] <[bsod]> independants 13%
			[13:47] <[bsod]> hmm
			[13:50] <[bsod]> jokeefe, what first intrested you in pirate party politics?
			[13:51] <jokeefe> victory in Sweden brought my attention to it
			[13:52] <jokeefe> but it just felt right, being a tech geek and all for 20+ years
			[13:52] <[bsod]> do you see it as a change from the green rainbow party or do the same issues continue throughout both
			[13:58] <jokeefe> the best way I can characterize it came from a Swedish professor who interviewed me. Greens and Pirates are yin & yang to each other. Greens try to conserve our limited resources (i.e. the environment), Pirates try to expand our unlimited resources (human imagination).
			[13:58] <jokeefe> Both have an anti-authoritarian, pro-civil liberties focus as well.
			[13:59] <jokeefe> you?
			[13:59] <passstab> interesting
			[13:59] <[bsod]> me? well, the full story isnt for public channels
			[13:59] <jokeefe> The Swedish researcher got the idea from a European Pirate, IIRC
			[13:59] <jokeefe> fair enough
			[14:00] <[bsod]> and SplendidSpoon is a computer geek
			[14:00] <SplendidSpoon> Indeed :D
			[14:00] <[bsod]> lol
			[14:00] <[bsod]> how did you end up here?
			[14:01] <SplendidSpoon> I read something about the Pirate Party in Sweden or Germany
			[14:01] <SplendidSpoon> Wanted to see if we had one here
			[14:01] <SplendidSpoon> and voila, Mass Pirates existed
			[14:01] <SplendidSpoon> But I was always into the issues we cared about, which is why I was interested in the European Pirates
			[14:01] <[bsod]> i thought it was funny that i had had so much involvment with the swedes and all of a sudden there was a local party
			[14:02] * passstab hopes to have a similar experience
			[14:02] <[bsod]> i knew back when ktetch was working with the national party before the initial breakup, he would tell us stuff once in awhile and at the time nothing exciting was happening to drag me in
			[14:03] <[bsod]> he recently quit, too much time consumption in politics
			[14:04] <[bsod]> i posted this in ppuk's chat just now http://194.71.107.80 and its alternative piratebay ip thats being setup that for now circumvents the block, people can put domains that point to that ip
			[14:05] <[bsod]> but i couldnt have picked a worse time, thepiratebay is down
			[14:07] <[bsod]> speaking of mass people, why isnt this guy in here http://arstechnica.com/tech-policy/2012/05/admitted-file-swapper-begs-supreme-court-for-help/
			[14:07] <[bsod]> we need to gobble up some of the celebrities in our local area
			[14:10] <[bsod]> well folks, that's all the time I have for today... meeting adjourned?
			[14:10] <jokeefe> pretty much. will check the ars articles. thanks!
			[14:11] <[bsod]> cya'll next week
			[14:13] <passstab> by all
			[14:14] <jokeefe> take care
