Subject: ALCOR DEMOCRACY-- Greg Crouse

Take a look at Greg Crouse's background on Cryonet. 
http://www.cryonet.org/cgi-bin/findmsgs.cgi?author=nsane1

Crouse posted to Cryonet today on the matter of
democracy at Alcor, along with anonymity. He's against
both. He worked on the WSJ article about post-mortem
trusts for the wealthy in some way, it appears-- and
he appears to be in favor of that. I'm not. I believe
in inergenerational trust. Cryonics needs to develop
the next generation of cryonicists-- the parking of
money in a perp trust is... nsane.

Greg makes no reference to the original alcor bylaws
regarding a Director Electorate-- and leads his
readers to think that enacting this bylaw would lead
to too much work for members-- that a self-electing
board relieves Alcor members of the burden of working
multiple issues. 

This argument is a fallacy because once the Alcor
Director Electorate puts a board member into position,
that board member is the overseer of the those
multiple issues-- not the general membership.
