Read your history. I've been frequenting this list for over 6 years, and it goes *way*
beyond two list members. We are now past the time to start pointing fingers at specific
people. After six years of relative silence on this issue, I'm taking a public stand on
where I stand - that free-market ideas have a long way to grow before they are equipped
to adequately handle thorny issues of civil rights and individual liberty to the
satisfaction of the general public. The fact that I'm consistently met with hostility by
people unwilling to admit their is a problem let alone a specific free-market solution
only furthers my desire to make a clean break from this particular transhumanist movement.
