If Mike Lorry, mark@unicorn.com and the other pro-guns-to-
children-convicted-violent-criminals-and-the-certifiably-insane
absolutist extremists esconced herein are allowed to continue to
propagandistically promulgate their illogical, irrational,
unreasonable and emotionally-based position and I am not granted
the right of reply, then there is no fairness or justice on the
extropian list. If it cannot deal equitably with the present, it is a
useless forum for the self-aware evolution of our common future.
