'i dont want to be associated with some of the views
posted on extropians'
 
'What, exactly, is that supposed to mean?'

'It is bad to be oppressed by a minority,
but it is worse to be oppressed by a majority.
For there is a reserve of latent power in the masses
which, if it is called into play,
the minority can seldom resist.
But from the absolute will of an entire people
there is no appeal, no redemption,
no refuge but reason.'
(Lord Acton: 1834-1902)
