Okay, great. I sent you a message off list, saying that your reply
to me was very well stated. <br><br>
<blockquote type=cite class=cite cite="">> let me say that you [Perry]

Well yes, when stated calmly. I think I got the phrase from
Samantha in "Sex In the City" where she says: "No,
no and no." about something that she does not agree
with. It's just factual, not emotional.<br><br>
<blockquote type=cite class=cite cite="">Do you mean mistaken in

Mistaken in inferring my position (Max can speak for himself). I am
proud of some early extropians and their passionate views, and those
views were/are the views of individuals not ExI or the magazine.

"or in construing the meaning of the ominous phrase "global
regulatory framework";"<br><br>
Global regulatory framework was written by someone and I do not know what
she really truly means by it. I tend to think that the Proactionary
Principle is a pretty darn good means for addressing global issues.

"mistaken in believing (e.g.) that the laws of economics are
knowable, broadly known, and not subject to repeal; morally wrong in
opposing the well-meaning schemes of our betters; or some other kind(s)
of wrong?"<br><br>
Economics is not my subject, although I rather like the views of
Shapiorand Varian. I'm thinking toward a networked
economy.<br><br>

Aww, did the poor wittle Progressive ox get gored in spite of all its
good intentions?</blockquote><br>
Oxen don't have enough testosterone to be progressive.<br><br>
