I can't believe it!  The US has just voted for four more years of Bush
and Rumsfeld Republicanism and the extropian list is going bananas
about less government and gay marriage. There is no chance of any of
that for at least four years.
Come back to the real world sometime. 
Has the list been infected with the Don Quixote virus???
