Am I not getting the full extropians mailing list feed? I noticed
one message from Michael S. Lorrey today doing a little Gore bashing,
and maybe another message that celebrated Bush's win the other day,
but that's pretty much it.
Besides, Extropianism seems to wholeheartedly embrace many political
concepts. Notice the participation that David Brin's Libertarian
writings recently generated. Has something changed? Is it beyond
the pale for a couple of political comments to surface during such an
extraordinarily historical episode in this country's (US's) history?

Could I get the list of Corwyn-approved topics and attitudes
regarding those topics?

Bleah. I'm just thrilled to death that I won't be in the crosshairs
of a Gore-targeted tax increase. I'm by no means rich, but I know
that I wasn't up for a Gore-targeted tax break.
