Because they have not yet been sold on it. Just my opinion. (end) I enjoyed George's post on the importance of effective salesmanship and marketing. I realize this has been discussed a great deal among cryonicists over the years, but the "big push forward" is coming. When the Venturist resort/community is built we will see a great deal of media interest which should get the ball really rolling. David Pizer and his associates will be doing a landmark thing with their initiative. What has just been talk will finally be reality! A community for cryonicists! And with a resort open to all we will see opportunities for "missionary work." And when Saul Kent and Wil Faloon's Timeship is built, cryonics will be ON the map! This structure will generate a tsunami of media interest which if surfed properly with our own marketing efforts will reap many new members for us. So, strap yourself in folks! All systems will soon be go as we rocket toward our goal of positive recognition and numerical strength. best wishes, John P.S. I hope Linda and Fred Chamberlain are finding success in their efforts to raise funds for the Alcor vitrification upgrade project. Could we possibly have a status report? This may not be as exotic sounding as the other projects, but it is still extremely important. _________________________________________________________________ Get your FREE download of MSN Explorer at http://explorer.msn.com Rate This Message: http://www.cryonet.org/cgi-bin/rate.cgi?msg=17010
