Date: Tue, 5 Oct 1999 09:34:20 -0700 In message #12503: "Normal Cryonicists", Charles Platt, informs us that he has found cryonicists to be socially inept, stubborn and not of above average intelligence. So what's your point? We should commit suicide too? If that is "normal", you can keep it. "Normal" is to accept your death as inevitable to appear acceptable to the group. To be an "oddball" has also been called being "heroic", "individualistic", and "determined". If you pick any demeaning adjective, I can find an adjective with a positive spin describing the same behavior. So what? Now, what is the purpose of all this silly name-calling? Made some more friends, maybe? Remember, everything hinges on what others think of you. Sure. George Smith http://www.cryonics.org Remember: 6 billion lemmings can't be wrong. (Bell curve basis) Belonging is more important than breathing. (Lemming motto) If you live forever, you will never change or improve.
