Avoiding the Kool-Aid
While the Futuristas are ecstatic over health care reform, one should studiously avoid drinking their kool-aid. As "the strategy center for the progressive movement", the Futuristas play a role similar to that of Kucinich: talk tough, then cave and promote phony reform. It's what keeps those foundation checks rolling in. Sadly, I only became aware of the Futuristas through one of their rising stars, Sara Robinson, who double sadly gained fame and fortune by becoming David Neiwert's sidekick.
