And now, having seen it, a substantial percentage of Extropians seem to 
want to plug their fingers firmly in their ears, cry "LA LA LA" at the 
top of their lungs, and pretend that politics deserves to be shunted 
aside to some ghetto of an email list because it is "boring" or 
somesuch. Yeah, THAT'S effective.

Then again, over in the WTA, we see the majority hostile to the party in 
power in the U.S. to the point where they won't even work with 
Republicans on issues where they share common ground, simply on the 
basis that they're Republicans and must therefore be the embodiment of 
evil by virtue of having voted for George Bush. Yeah, THAT'S practical.

The libertarians are going comatose, the liberals are going into denial. 
Where's a poor realist-- I want the Posthuman Future to HAPPEN, DAMNIT, 
and I don't care how it does!-- supposed to go?
