Since many Extropian ideas have yet to come of age, how about we concentate
on the more pratical things - Critical Thinking as a part of basic education,
more freedom for researchers, de-legalisation of drugs (that'll get us a few
letter bombs), funding of AI research and building a global information
network.  Just the fact that we acknowlege there are going to be changes in
the future should put us ahead of the rest!  Any other ideas ?
