I read a number of very good blogs, both left and right, on politics. I have not seen in the time I have been lurking, anything here that was worth responding to on politics, or related to the scope of the maillist. The matter is complicated because this list has an international audience, and they often may not comprehend the intricacies of USA stuff and feel intensely about it.

<br>
The pest can be summed up as "parochial party politics". It is easy to
spot - the names 'Bush', 'Republican', 'Democrat' etc make unwelcome
appearances in almost all instances.<br>
If people want to talk about politics let's keep it to either specific
instances that affect Transhumanist aims directly, or to principles and
practices op the wider stage..<br>
Am I alone in this view?<br><span class="sg">
