X-Message-Number: 32491 Date: Thu, 18 Mar 2010 10:48:33 -0700 From: Mike Perry <> Subject: Re: Alcor-lovers vs. Neuro-lovers References: <> I don't think it's productive to try to answer David Pizer, #32480, point by point. I will just say, I need to see evidence before I could accept many of the conclusions he reaches. I think David is not the only Alcor person who "meets the public." There are nearly 1,000 Alcor members, some of them quite wealthy and some of them involved in many different walks of life. If they had concerns about the neuro option to compare at all with David's they would be shouting from the rooftops, and we would hear about it. (Why would they want to hide it? If they really thought Alcor was in danger they would tell us--Alcor is their lifeboat after all.) Barry Aarons, our political lobbyist, is not signed up himself and deals with politicians. He never says they have negative things specifically about neuro, and for the most part his reports are positive. Is he just "telling us what we want to hear"? If so we'd surely hear differently from some of the people he was falsely saying were favorable, wouldn't we? I also think it's stretching it a bit to say that because Dora Kent's head was removed, Alcor was kicked out of California and had to go to Arizona. Kunzman in *Mothermelters* doesn't make a claim like that, and he isn't exactly singing Alcor's praises. Mike Perry Rate This Message: http://www.cryonet.org/cgi-bin/rate.cgi?msg=32491
