Unfortunately, you've separated this from what went on
before... we were talking about extremists... people
who do illegal activities (not people who practise
civil disobedience) in the name of their cause...
weirdos, nut cases... eco terrorists and their ilk.
Not the majority of the WTO protesters, but the fools
who looted starbucks... see the difference?
I don't see extropian ideals as attracting those types
of individuals or promoting those types of extreme
actions... in fact they seem to me to be rather un
extropian.
