He actually let college get in the way of hacking? Next candidate!
By the way back then he wrote an article on how a world without money would work: http://textfiles.com/groups/CDC/cDc-0031.txt

A Feature on MONEY - Today's Monster

_______________________________________________________________________________



Money has been a part of your life since the day you were born. It
has been in everyone's life for thousands of years. In fact, you have to go
back to the ancient Chinese and Greeks to find the origins of money. Since
it has been a part of your life for so long, you probably never thought about
life with out it. Well, here's your chance. Think, a free society with no
high, middle, or low classification of it's people. Think, no more money
related murders, suicides, divorces, or theft. Think, no more families living
below a set poverty line or children starving to death because of a lack of
money. You're probably telling yourself, "sure, this sounds great, but how
would we ever accomplish this?" Well, in this short file, I will explain for
you the virtues of a money-less society and the paths we must take to
reach them.


To achieve a money-less society (or have a society where money is
heavily de-emphasized) a lot of things would have to change, including
government as we know it. This is where the anti-money group and the disciples
of Anarchy meet. Anarchists profess that under Anarchy (or limited Anarchy),
free trade would be established, with no governing body to interfere. Free
trade to me, means that we would no longer use a system of money, but I fear we
will always have a system of government, one way or another, so we would have
to use other means other than totally toppling the government (I don't think
the masses would support such a radical move at this time).


We (as a people) would have to do it more or less non-violently, for if
we use violence, we would never have the support of the masses of people that
make up our society. Some ways of doing this, would be to slowly take the
United States off the world market, and then slowly phase out our own money
markets (including Wall Street). This would slowly bring the upper and middle
classes of people in America together. By the time money is de-emphasized
enough that it is used only for trading with foreign nations, almost all the
classes of people in America would be (for all intended purposes) even.


Of course this would be extremely hard to accomplish, and it will
probably never happen in our lifetime, or in our far-off descendents life time
unless we do something about it ourselves, while we still can. At least we
could get the movement started and keep it going in future generations.



If you're interested in the idea of a money-free society, and would
like to participate in active conversations on the subject, call:

Remember, we are the next generation, and will soon rule the world.

Cult of the Dead Cow. God, I haven't heard that name in a long time.
I missed out on the whole BBS thing because my high school (in 1972-75 mind you) had a computer lab with a mainframe. Then my college had a computer center and campus network, and Boeing, when I went to work for them, had a computer lab, and eventually I could dial in to the work computers from home. So all my hackish urges were satiated.

I have no problem with the thought of Beto O'Rourke being president of the U.S. in about 20 or 30 years, after he's served in Congress or as a governor.

Meanwhile, I don't find a celebrity president any more appealing than Donald Trump just because he's a Democrat instead of a Republican.

A native of El Paso, Texas, O'Rourke served on the El Paso City Council from 2005 to 2011. O'Rourke was elected to the U.S. House of Representatives in 2012 after defeating incumbent Silvestre Reyes in a Democratic primary. Instead of seeking re-election in 2018, he ran for U.S. Senate and was narrowly defeated by Republican incumbent Senator Ted Cruz.
So, he has served in Congress, and as long or longer. Doesn't mean I support him; I've not yet decided and I'm leaning towards Warren or maybe even Sanders, but I feel we should give credit to someone for what they have done.

I consider a few years in the House a weak record for jumping straight to the presidency. I wish he'd won the Senate race and served at least a few additional terms as a senator. I get that he's charismatic, and I was wildly enthusiastic about him when he ran against Cruz, but I really resent that he's become the media darling compared to so many highly qualified candidates already in the race.

I proudly present: The song of cow by Psychedelic Warlord aka Beto Rourke (ca. 1988)

I need a butt-shine,
Right now
You are holy
Oh, sacred Cow
I thirst for you,
Provide Milk.

Buff my balls,
Love the Cow,
Good fortune for those that do.
Love me, breathe my feet,
The Cow has risen.

Wax my ass,
Scrub my balls.
The Cow has risen,
Provide Milk.

Oh, Milky Wonder, sing for us once more,
Live your life, everlusting joy.
Thrust your hooves up my analytic passage,
Enjoy my fruits.

Provider of Cheese and other wonderful dairy products,
We will cleanse your inner intestines.
We will bathe in your Pungent Odor,
Gather cotton.

Count my eyes,
Smell my skin,
Love the Scarecrow and the Milkman.
I live only for eternity,
Thirst for the undrinkable.
Hold the heat,
Praise the dough boy at the pizza shop.
Love the Oxen dung!

Expect 2020 to be a continuation of 2016, with those who have spent the all of their time in press and social media bashing Democrats to continue where they left off, while deleting Twitter histories as if they weren't running the personal campaigns no one could miss.
Sanders campaign adds Sirota as speech writer and senior advisor, Briahna Joy as press secretary.
