You mean the old Ku Klux Klansman? Wow, last week a post to this list
revealed a doo-doo trail straight to a white supremacist site, and now
Duke's name shows up. What's the connection to extropians? As I wrote

It seems to me there's a thin veneer between many people who call themselves
libertarians, and other not-very-pleasant (my opinion only, of course)
institutions. I know not all libertarians subscribe to all these
institutions, but ... the connections that keep coming up are scary.

P.S. My apologies, if it's not THAT David Duke, and my sneering contempt if
it is.
