Start of policy guide with goals and descriptions. Are these the three most important?

New page

==Policy Goals==
===Avoid Creating Conflicts Within the Caucus===
*If taking a side on an issue would create division within the Radical Caucus, do not take such a position.

===Avoid Needless Conflicts Within the LP===
*If taking a side on an issue would create division within the Libertarian Party, do not take such a position unless it's unambiguous to Radical Libertarians what stand to take and be abundantly clear that a stand within the party must be taken.

===Have Handy, Pre-Made Decisions to Refer To===
How do we handle adding this to the layout? What ads to we accept? What do we publish in response to something?

+==Rules and References==
-This is probably just standard but iterated here, as many of our articles will be based on outside (stored) sources, hopefully as close to primary as practical.
+AP has two guides, but if we were going to just go along with whatever, we wouldn't be in the Radical Caucus.  Rules here override those from other references, because we've concluded that the AP's rules aren't designed for our exact use case and don't always make sense.
-==References==
+===Structure and Grammar===
-* We need a dictionary.  A GOOD one that doesn't legitimize Journalese and other erosions of English.  Public domain options are available -- they'll be missing a few important words, but won't be legitimizing misuse.  Maybe one of these+ https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Webster's_Dictionary#1913_edition or http://edl.byu.edu/webster ?
+*Always use Oxford/Serial Comma
 * Possibly use the AP Style Guide, but with our own list of item-specific overrides, which may get lengthy.  https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/1541672380/antiwarbookstore
 *'''Internet''' -- this is a proper noun.  Capitalize it.  People who assert that it isn't still proceed to demonstrate by their usage that it is.
 *'''Solar System''' -- Only one star is named Sol, therefore there's only one of these and it's a proper noun and should use the definitive article.  Should we find ourselves needing to describe other places use star system.  ''One way to get away from governments is to colonize other parts of the Solar System.''
