Basically, it's just another one of those linear, outmoded, left-brained vestiges of traditional hierarchical oppressive Western civilization which we must discard. Besides, learning to read is artificial and UNNATURAL. Moreover, it requires a lot of unpleasant effort. Forcing children to learn to read needs to be unmasked as the child abuse that it is, >> But, this is nothing to worry about! Even as we speak, MTV studios is producing a series of videos which they say downloads into young minds all the knowledge and skills they would need to be ready for life. Puff Daddy, Madonna, The Beastie Boys and N'Sync will be hosting!

Just move your little mouse up about an inch and click on either of these two URLs. Sheesh! (end) Ahah!, the devious Professor Ettinger has made the information PUBLIC on his own CI website!! Why, no wonder no one was able to find the information! How dastardly! Has no one here read "The Purloined Letter" story? lol Regarding George Smith's "truly amazing email" I must say he has sparked an idea within my head! I can cut out the middleman(Alcor and CI) and just find a nice spot in Northern Alaska which is cold year round. Then I just deanimate there(die!) and wait for future explorers to find me and hand me over to Drexler Industries Incorporated for the big bring-back! :) And you're all invited too! Dani Kollin wrote: Hi Steve, I am also the father of an adopted 3 and half year old daughter (Filipina/Caucasion) as well as the father of a new set of twin boys (1 month old). I congratulate you not only on your adoption but also on your choice of priorities. Good luck and see ya in the future, (end) I think what Steve Bridge and Dani Kollin are doing is so extremely commendable. It just made me think that perhaps down the road I should sponsor a child with a charitable organization. Supposedly, just twenty dollars a month can make a huge difference in the life of a poor, third-world child. AND FINALLY, for so long I have wanted detailed comparison given regarding Alcor and the Cryonics Institute. THANKS PEOPLE!! I just can't believe how long and detailed some of these emails are. I thank all those people who made this possible... :) best wishes to all, John _________________________________________________________________ Get your FREE download of MSN Explorer at http://explorer.msn.com Rate This Message: http://www.cryonet.org/cgi-bin/rate.cgi?msg=15445
