Nate:

: The more I think about it, the more I
: like the general income demand.

I think my response to general income stuff is
mediated by my experience of the dole, which I
could talk about at length, and mostly critically.
But you're right: taking time away from work is
important.  The dole is, whatever else happens
along with it, a writing grant of sorts --
something few academics I know have much time for
these days.

And almost unrelated, but funny -- if you've been
thinking (as I have) of N&H's 'global citizenship'
as a version of humanist, universalist sci fi, see
below.

A Tactical Alert: voting for John Kerry

We, the Crew of the Star Trek Fan project "Living
Trekism", are calling
out a tactical alert in the trekker-fandom around
the globe to
symbolically take part in the US-presidential

John F. Kerry, we vote for the option to make
possible a timeline with a
Federation of the Planet Earth!

Read the whole alert-text on our website at
www.transfictiontrek.net/.

Please forward this transmission to everyone who
might be interested. We
would also appreciate a report about or link to
our Tactical Alert on
your homepage.

Peace and long life,
The LT-Crew
