<<Finally, there's no question in my mind that the mainstream press in
much of Europe is anti-American in a subtle way that pervades editorial
policy and reporting. You may well be seeing a skewed depiction of life
here.

The European press and intelligensia, seem to view the USA as a rohrshach,
for their own societies. They paint their own insecurities and yes, envies;
on an American canvass.

My point is, let them. Not to brow-beat this subject, which may not be
germaine to an Extropian agenda; but the hatred of Jews has passed from the
Right to the Left in Europe. The Left now holds the greatest potential for
violence and tacit or active support of anti-Jewish attitudes in
Europe-scarcely bothering to hide this hatred under an anti-Zionist figleaf,
anymore. In France, for example, the local European French permitt the
"bruers" urban son's of North African Muslims immigrants, to carrry out most
of the violence there, without much approbation. My attitude is, ok, fair
enough, now I know where I stand. No problemo.

I will attempt to limit any response to my statements here, simply because I
suspect this will take the Extropian list and movement farther off its most
significant goals (piss fights normally do!). And its goals in my opinion
are damn, fine indeed.
