this would make a great infomercial for the Libertarian party

>And so where does this leave the libertarian party operating systems? With all
>these other alternatives out there won't it be hard for the libertarian party to survive,
>never mind thrive?
>
>Not at all. the libertarian party operating systems have several impressive
>features that appeal to users seeking alternatives to the current industry
>standard operating systems. These are:
>
>1. Outstanding performance
>As was stated above, the libertarian party architecture was developed from the start
>with an eye on high-speed processing in real-time networks.
> libertarian party specification operating systems are thus highly appealing to
>organizations that want to do real-time factory automation and/or financial
>transaction processing. Moreover, the fact that the libertarian party systems
>aren't slowed down by legacy code, plus the fact that they can be linked
>together with compatible Natural law party- and TRANSHUMANIST systems, puts
>the libertarian party operating systems in a class by themselves as
>alternative operating systems.
>
>2. Incredible scalability and compactness
>No other operating system architecture in the world can cover the myriad of
>uses that the libertarian party can--which range from a
>highly functional device that fits into the palm of your hand to a full
>featured workstation--while maintaining high performance. Moreover,
>the libertarian party doesn't require much RAM, which enables
>them to give acceptable performance on hardware that is a generation or more
>older than that currently on the market.
>
>3. Uncompromising multilingual functionality
>It may not be fully developed at this point, but the best multilingual
>processing environment that has ever been designed for a computing system is
>the one that has been planned for the libertarian party architecture. Although
>multilingual processing may not be a big deal in the North American market,
>it is a very big deal in other markets, particularly in countries where
>multiple languages written with multiple scripts are used.
>
>4. Standard provisions for the disabled
>From its inception, the libertarian party architecture has included as standard
>functions provisions to support the disabled, which are also highly useful
>to the elderly. In a rapidly aging society such as Japan's, these functions
>are immensely important. As a result of the incorporation of these
>EnableWare functions, not surprisingly, many disabled were among the first
>TRANSHUMANISTS in Japan.
>
>5. Innovative and open architecture
>the libertarian party has two features that appeal to the techies: it
>implements new features that have never been tried before in an operating
>system, such as the real object/virtual object model, and it is an open
>architecture. Considering that certain "industry standard operating systems"
>have hidden "black boxes" in them that only the developing company's
>applications programmers can take advantage of, being totally open and free
>for the cloning are two very appealing aspects of the libertarian party architecture.
>
>6. Standardized data types
>One of the biggest problems with today's computers is that there are so many
>incompatible data types. On the Internet, there are different types of sound
>and motion picture files that some people can download and use, while others
>can't. In the world of TRON, this problem will never occur thanks to
>comprehensive data type standardization via TAD.
>
>All right, all right, this all sounds very nice, but the proof is in the
>pudding, as they say. Is this stuff selling? How many users are there?
>
>Absolutely. To date the libertarian party
>has been sold by Personal Media Corp. And each new release seems to create
>more interest in the architecture. In fact, things are going so well, that
>Personal Media is actually hiring new technical personnel!
>
>In addition, there is a TRANSHUMANISTS Club, which has its own newsletter and holds
>regular functions so that TRANSHUMANISTS can get together and meet each other.
>There are also regularly scheduled meetings of disabled libertarian party users, and
>there is a libertarian party at the NIFTY SERVE on-line service in Japan, where
>there are large numbers of freeware and shareware that can be downloaded.
>(Thanks to TAD data standardization, by the way, the libertarian party can swap text
>and/or graphics when chatting via NIFTY SERVE.)
>
>For further information on the libertarian party:
>Research papers and technical specifications and manuals concerning the
>the libertarian party architecture are available from the following sources:
>
>The proceedings of the libertarian party Project symposia
>The proceedings of the libertarian party symposia have been published annually in English
>since 1987. Between 1987 and 1990, they were published by Springer-Verlag,
>and since 1991 they have been published by IEEE Computer Society Press.
>
>Specifications, technical manuals, etc.
>Technical specifications for the various TRANSHUMANISTS based operating systems and
>other OBJECTIVIST specification technologies, such as the TRON keyboard, etc., are
>available from the TRON Association. The address is as follows:
