- The Party needs people from every walk of life, every
trade, profession, occupation and background to
contribute their experience, ideas and knowledge to the
project but we have to create an organisation capable of
digesting all this data first or we will just be
overwhelmed. We seem to need committees, scores, perhaps
hundreds, of them to organise the data relating to every
political issue into a manageable form and distil
principles and policies from it, we therefore need
committee members.
- We need researchers to find all sorts of information, ie.
from libraries, government departments, organisations,
the media, foreign countries etc.,etc.
- We need people to donate their unused free web space to
us for read only web sites so that we don't have to pay a
lot of money for commercial sites.
- People are needed to maintain pages of web sites and
develop web sites (somebody with experience of developing
large, interactive, database connected web sites might be
particularly useful).
- To be legitimate and legal the Party needs to be
registered at Company House. Before this can be done
interim Directors with impeccable credentials are needed,
where are they found?
- Local organisers of committees, meetings and social
events are likely to be needed.
- All work is to be voluntary, unpaid initially.
- As part of the Party's effort to de-mystify religion and
loosen it's hold over people, we need volunteers to help
to analyse religious texts methodically to see whether
they contain anything that might qualify as holy or
useful. The task isn't that daunting if enough people are
involved. Each person could deal with one chapter of one
book of the Bible (for example), or more if they were
keen. The idea is to subdivide each chapter into parts (where
this can be done), condense each part into it's essence
in plain, simple English and give it a holiness rating
from 0 to 10. Other ratings such as interest, importance,
wisdom, moral value, believability, etc. could also be
awarded. Some large passages of the Bible, even whole
books, can be dealt with very quickly and simply. For
example, the book of Revelations can almost be dismissed
as the ravings of a lunatic. The book of Job is probably
the world's first shaggy dog story and still the world
record holder for length and boredom, forty two chapters
of it. Job lived like a Saint, apart from being a fat rat
with 7000 sheep, 3000 camels, 500 spans of cattle, 500
she-asses and a very large body of servants. Satan
challenged God to test Job in the belief that Job would
curse God if he suffered misfortune. God visits every
sort of trouble on Job but he continues to have faith.
For most of the book, Job and two of his sympathisers try
to fathom out why God has put him in such an awful
predicament. Eventually God reveals Job's sin to him, he
acknowledges it and afterwards becomes twice as fat a rat
as before. The sin in the eyes of God was that Job
suffered from the conceit of thinking he was free of sin. Some pseuds
appear to think the psalms are the most beautiful prayers ever written, others
dismiss most of them as sycophantic, toadying and nauseating.
- The Party's centre of gravity is currently in Croydon so volunteers from
the South London area would be particularly useful at present.
