real, though that's not as clear to me. But that's not what I resonated with
in his speech. 'm sure Chuck is no extropian, and I was probably being
politically incorrect on this list to post that speech. But darn it, I still
like it. >>

Max,
    I guess your last two sentences reflect what I responded to in Heston's
speech. In an group dedicated to progress must we apologise for considering
all viewpoints? Am I to be constrained by the PC movement any more than I am
by the radical right
