Never before has a group of citizens with such global awareness, depth of experience, media sophistication, and healthy skepticism been handed such a massive opportunity. Without any official proclamations, we're already in the information age. We're no longer at war, and we live in a networked economy. The left-wing is dead. The right-wing is dead.
Ideology is dead.
Take, for instance, DigitaLiberty. Still building momentum, DigitaLiberty attacks Clipper as a last ditch IRS assault on cybercommerce. Think about it. George Gilder, Esther Dyson, Alvin Toffler, and dozens of others are trying to craft a platform for the politics of post-industrial society. Barbra Streisand wasn't invited to comment.
