X-Message-Number: 23446 Date: Tue, 17 Feb 2004 06:38:52 -0500 From: Thomas Donaldson <> Subject: CryoNet #23441 - #23445 Hi everyone! I liked the antigovernment jokes given by Rudi Hoffman. Yes, I'd heard a number of them before, but not all, and they were light relief to the serious problems cryonics may encounter with government. (The other side to such problems is that we have started to be noticed, a new condition for cryonics). It is a good thing that Bush cannot implement all the policies he talks about by acting alone --- he'll need the cooperation of Congress. Even administrative changes can run afoul of Congress. So our real situation doesn't look (longterm) quite so bad. I hope that the Extropy Group and others spend some time not just with public pronouncements but talking to congressmen/women and senators, too. Best wishes and long long life, Thomas Donaldson Rate This Message: http://www.cryonet.org/cgi-bin/rate.cgi?msg=23446
