We are all such libertines. Partying our lives away. Tsk tsk. Charles, the rich cryonicists will just have to cover alcor on any funding shortfalls. THat is just the reality of it. that is the only way the rich people can have a chance of ever being cryopreserved. Even the rich need us poor folks to help them make it to the future. They need us. And so they will have to help alcor and other cryo orgs make it, too, or else they will have no chance at the future. I think the rich cryonicists recognize this. And they accept this. I think however that the uber-libertarian cryos do not accept this fact. It must really gripe their guts to think that their hard-earned/inherited money will have to go to help others. It must really grind on them that they will have to depend on others to get a chance at future revival. Libertarians, what a laugh. I think that Libertarianism in a person of advanced age could well be a sign of some sort of severe personality disorder. I mean, it is one thing to be a libertarian at age 30. Hey, I gotta confess I was one at that age, too. But to be one at age 50? Time to put away childish things, dude.... Rate This Message: http://www.cryonet.org/cgi-bin/rate.cgi?msg=33063
