Does ExI or Foresight want to send Clinton an official thank-you
letter? I've already sent him one in my capacity as a private citizen
and voter. I encourage other Extropian readers to do likewise.
I mean, I hate the guy on general principles, but if we want to hear
transhumanist statements from politicians ever again, let's make it
clear that we liked hearing it the first time. God knows what kind of
flak he's going to receive from technophobery, so let's get the
counterflak started NOW.
