What do you think? It's a shameless act by a greedy son. 58.0% John Henry should be frozen -- alive! 33.0% John Henry took care of his father; it's a private matter and he should be allowed to do what he wants. 6.2% Why not? It might work, and we could have Ted back. 2.9% Total votes: 4832" Driven FromThePack wrote: Looks like we lose....again. We been down so long...etc. Maybe someone outghta write a sad country song about cryonics.... Oh c'mon, DF! I for one am overjoyed that almost 3% (over 100 people) overcame the negative press to say it might work. I as a Libertarian am well accustomed too being massacred in the polls. I guess your despondency matches your name: I don't see myself as "driven from the pack" but as "joyously free from the herd".
