Guilty of aggression all over the globe as a FUTURE possibility IF the
imperialistic dreams that John Grigg - possibly ironically, which I was not
able to detect - displayed in his letter as an example of the imperialistic
attitude of invading one country after another that does not fit into
Washington's concept.
Call me what you will or think of me what you will. I will not engage in
mind games about better or worse superpowers anymore. I am sick of being in
the position where I must justify my peace loving attitude. This is
absolutely ridiculous.
All of you, who are so war horny today, YOU (plural) are the ones who should
ask yourselves if you still have anything to do with transhumanism. One of
the most original and intelligent minds of this movement - EUGEN LEITL - has
already unsubscribed extropy list because he could't stand the battle cries
here on this list any more. This is huge loss for the movement.
No power has the right to attack a country even if a monster of a dictator
rules there. The US/UK junta is going to ignite a world fire pretty soon and
the
supporters of war among you know it.
Love, Peace, Over And Out
