Yes,  I was elected as a Council person to the Green Party in 1992 and
Director of Public Relations and Media for the Los Angeles County.  I
served one year of my two year term.  I resigned because it would not
include transhumanist ideas.  It was too far left and too neurotically
geared toward environmentalism.  (I appreciate the ways that Greg Burch and
Foresight are working toward environmental policies  through technologies.)

I agree with you.
