Altho it appears as a national embarrassment, the outcome of this election
perhaps is the most optimal for libertarians and extropians. It will stress
the need for ditching antiquated technologies in favor of newer and more
workable ones. Furthermore it stresses the need for better human/machine
interfaces. Thirdly, regardless of who wins the office, that candidate now
will be essentially a lame duck for four years, which should emphasize the
fact that our country *does not need* a person leading us in order to
prosper. Are not all three of these notions libertarian and extropian? spike
