X-Message-Number: 18571 From: "Toby Christensen" <> Date: Sat, 16 Feb 2002 20:09:21 +0800 Subject: All right, now I'm cross.... Hello all, For a start, the cultural enclave I was referring to would be in Australia; at least that is where I would want to live! Have your communities in your strange northern world, but I am an extreme south dweller and always will remain so. (Deity of Choice) bless Australia! I see no reason why we would have to spend time watching mindless TV and paying heavy taxes. I imagine investments left whilst people are in stasis will grow exponentially. A cultural enclave presents a chance to get things right; no crime, no brutality, no drugs. A country based on respect for life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness. A unique "small town". I know the Amish are faultering, but we can stick an explorative foot into the waters of the future and have places to retract to; places to call home. It's an opportunity for me to do all the things I wish to; drive a car, learn wrestling, tie my bloody shoelaces, read and enjoy novels etc. I'm sure to an extent, James Swayze can empathize (as can millions of others; refer to my post "Transhumanism vs what cryonics was invented for.") We can build the long tomorrow, but we also need a place to bed down at night. P.S. John Grigg, put "Toby" on the school wrestling team. Ta, mate. -- _______________________________________________ Sign-up for your own FREE Personalized E-mail at Mail.com http://www.mail.com/?sr=signup 1 cent a minute calls anywhere in the U.S.! http://www.getpennytalk.com/cgi-bin/adforward.cgi?p_key=RG9853KJ&url=http://www.getpennytalk.com Rate This Message: http://www.cryonet.org/cgi-bin/rate.cgi?msg=18571
