He writes: >You could go the anger route with your marketing of immortalism or you could go the love way. >"I love my family this much" > www.alcor.org Well, if we are going to appeal to the traditional values of our culture, I would suggest that we need to simply co-opt religious imagery. We need artistic renditions of angels made of ice carrying our suspended loved ones into the sunrise of tomorrow. One thing I despised about organized atheists was their resistance to the idea of having "marching songs" like "Onward Christian Soldiers". That type of uplift is very necessary if the battle against death and for immortality is to conquer and/or compete with religion's call for surrender. Imagine if we had just one pop song with even humorous lyrics saying "Freeze me today so I can come back tomorrow. Liquid nitrogen is more beautiful than flowers" Sorry I am not a song writer. But this is one of the social skills we need to turn this society around. Randolfe H.
