Excellent. The problem is that little or nothing you describe is being
done. ExI, Pro-Act, and this list are conspicuously anti-action,
anti-initiative, with many claiming that any action of any kind, to any
degree, is an offense against their allegedly libertarian sensibilities,
while at the same time hyperbolizing those who propose any action at all
as proponents of assasination and terrorism. I'm beginning to wonder
just who is in the majority on this list, Extropians or Luddites.
