    Wooohooooo! Im with ya there Olga. We really
    need to lighten up if we are hoping to live for
    a bunch of decades or centuries. I propose the
    return of the smilies to the extropians list,

    be happy. Life's more fun that way. Lets get
    back to that dynamic optimism, let our mascot
    be Tigger.
