[Ailist] Kucinich - Presidential candidate mention of AI in Washington Post

[Lynn D. Johnson]

Hi Brian and others,
This is an interesting & courageous post. I got burned on this list once 
by posting something that people thought was too political. I wonder if 
you might be doing something like that.

I probably am not very similar to others on the list, since I would like 
to see Walter Williams as President, and since he doesn't want to do it, 
he is the ideal candidate. (Anyone who wants it is clearly unworthy.)  
But I am fearful of admitting that in public since I don't want to get 
burned again.

Yet the idea of restoring us to 9/10 is such an attractive idea. Is 
there a variation on this idea which also respects what is best about 
limited government and maximizes individual choice? I'd love to dialog 
about that.
Respectfully,
Lynn Johnson
