Mike, I wont get into the political side of this in detail. All I will ask is
does the forwarding of this list increase extropy? I would imagine your
answer may depend on your political view of the French actions. This is the
point that interests me, how one person may see an action or subject as
extropic. Where another may not.
I am trying to get to the bottom of what 'Extropic" really means and how its
interpretation can be skewed by other factors.
