News flash: We *all* have our own "isms" (yes, even you). You seem
oblivious to the irony which saturates your post. You blithely call for the
extermination of all politicians, religious people, and seemingly anybody
with an intolerant world-view which does not correspond with your own.
Judging by your post, you are at least as intolerant as those whom you'd be
happy to "sterilize." So if the AI turns out to be as fascist as you sound,
you'll be among the first to go! ;)
