THE ANTI GRAVITY PARTY
To the skies!
http://foo.ca/wp/wp-content/uploads/2008/04/gravity-theory.jpg
For too long gravity has ruled tyrannically over the people of Earth. Countless thousands, if not millions, of innocent people have fallen to their deaths thanks to gravity. Many others have died or been injured by having solid objects fall onto them. And despite these countless murders, gravity goes unpunished!

Not only that, but gravity has been preventing humans from flying for all of recorded history. How many of you have had to pay ridiculous amounts of money to airlines for the privilege of having them lose your luggage and squeeze you into the smallest space possible? How many of you have wasted hours of your life waiting for elevators, or slowly inching up a crowded stairway, or struggling down a crowded street, or sitting in traffic twiddling your thumbs at 1mph? All of these injustices are ultimately the fault of that great bastard gravity!

But now, at long last, the rule of gravity is coming to an end! Join the Anti-Gravity Party in overthrowing gravity and take to the skies!

The goals of the Anti-Gravity Party are:
The overthrow of the tyrant gravity with the power of science.
The defence of humanity against any other force, weak or strong, or any other scientific theory that would seek to replace gravity.
The creation of international Safe Flight laws, to prevent mid-air incidents between newly airborne humans.
The creation and funding of a comprehensive flight school for all humans.
In the long term, the eventual liberation of all celestial bodies from the rule of gravity.

Actually, gravity has never really existed anyway. We've failed to capture the "graviton", it was a stupid theory all along.

What we know as "gravity" is rather the effect of universal acceleration. Earth is moving with a constant acceleration, thus creating force acting on objects upon it. Newton's Third Law, any action creates counteraction.

For too long gravity has ruled tyrannically over the people of Earth. Countless thousands, if not millions, of innocent people have fallen to their deaths thanks to gravity. Many others have died or been injured by having solid objects fall onto them. And despite these countless murders, gravity goes unpunished!

Not only that, but gravity has been preventing humans from flying for all of recorded history. How many of you have had to pay ridiculous amounts of money to airlines for the privilege of having them lose your luggage and squeeze you into the smallest space possible? How many of you have wasted hours of your life waiting for elevators, or slowly inching up a crowded stairway, or struggling down a crowded street, or sitting in traffic twiddling your thumbs at 1mph? All of these injustices are ultimately the fault of that great bastard gravity!

We'll see. I can only see that you're damaging your party's reputation, ultimately losing yourself votes, and meaning that you'll be unable to form a winning coalition because all the other parties will hate you. Plenty of those who sympathise with your party's policies (all quite reasonable) are going to get the impression you are a bunch of immature losers, and want nothing to do with you. In terms of support from respected NSG-ers you had a commanding initial lead, but I think you are at severe risk of destroying it unless you restrain yourself promptly.

What we know as "gravity" is rather the effect of universal acceleration. Earth is moving with a constant acceleration, thus creating force acting on objects upon it. Newton's Third Law, any action creates counteraction.


How's is gravity the effect of universal accelertion? That's like saying that you stick to a cars windscreen when it's hurtling along at 90 mph because it's acceleration. Sure it makes sense but then theres the slight problem that if you are on the "back"windscreen you go flying off.

Note to self, chain myself to my house at around 4 PM tonight.

Everything has gravity, all the objects around you are attracted to you and you to them (see, someone loves you after all folks!), the large rthe object the greater the gravity it exerts. Like the earth.
