I'm not going to bite.

No one.  That's the point.  Politics are not futuristic enough to be 
extropic.  Need better means for producing the kinds of ideas that can 
change legislation and protect our rights.  I wrote a little about this in 
my talk a  few months ago.  You can read the PowerPoint at 
http://www.natasha.cc and link to the 
<http://www.natasha.cc/global%20design1.ppt>First Conference of Geoethical 
Nanotechnology 2005 download in the left column.  The blogocracy idea was 
well received, as was the nomothetic and diplomacy-based referendums.  At 
least it has a couple of ideas.
