And guess what: you can even ARGUE about them on Cryonet. If we end up fixing the causes of death, whatever they be, then you can spend the rest of your life arguing about Gods, the godless, Stalin, Hitler, whoever you want. What great fun that will be! An immortality of theological argument! (end) And don't forget gun(or the 22nd century equivalent) control! Joe Dees and Mike Lorrey gave the extropian list members a real sense of what eternity must be like with their ENDLESS arguments on the subject. Anyone perusing the extropian archives would fall out of their chair when they realize the lengths they both went to! Mike kept winning the argument that the citizenry need the right to be armed, but Joe kept on, and on, and on about it. ; ) When you take into account intelligence enhancement through genetic engineering, machine/organic brain fusion, A.I. avatars, multi-mind webs, brainjack interfaces, etc., we will have some VERY interesting transhumanist "lists" down the road. I imagine the immortal forms of Joe and Mike will simply take their gun control thread to the next level!! lol best wishes, John _____________________________________________________________ Play the Elvis Scratch & Win for your chance to instantly win $10,000 Cash - a 2003 Harley Davidson Sportster - 1 of 25,000 CD's - and more! http://r.lycos.com/r/sagel_mail_scratch_tl/http://win.ipromotions.com/lycos_020801/index.asp?tc=7087 Rate This Message: http://www.cryonet.org/cgi-bin/rate.cgi?msg=20109
