... Lotteries give indeed very good results for the organizers of the game, 
that this is a better way to get rich that cryonics, who dispute it?

Frankly, John, Why botter with such opinions? It is the mainstream follow the

They make plenty of money, they are very important persons, they are 
sufficient and know all about all. Let them die, they never make anything 
useful from their money and power, this is the rule of rich people.
