From: MARK PLUS <> http://forum.rickross.com/read.php?12,64749,98188#msg-98188 QUOTE: Mike is not very well and hasn't been for many years - recently i have been researching his career and will be updating my website very soon. (Not the nicest research i have done) I am actually grateful mike lost it and declared war on his critics as it made me realise how half assed I was doing things by just ranting - it may seem quiet but things are moving along behind the scenes and 2011 is going to be a bad year for cryonics fanatics. Mel is quite right about making our web efforts more professional and organised - I am also trying to put together the info i found into a book and make lawmakers aware. Personally i think we are obserivng the last crys from a very damaged cryonics industry before it dies completely. In 10 years i think there will be a few dewars around but no active companies once regulation hits them. Thres no conspiracy i suspect to make cryonics a billion $ industry - its too shabby and the companies left are barely keeping themselves afloat let alone in LN2 - Chatsworth 21st century style is on the cards and once regulatory officials look at these cryonics firms properly they will shut them down and prosecute the organisers. This will take time though and it could be a couple of years before this really starts happenning - to change laws takes a long time and lots of campaigning. Mikes unhappy because at a very young he chose the wrong path and dedicated his life to cryonics. Now in his 50's and not actively working he vents his fustration on his critics (persocution complex) instead. The problem is (and Mike knows this) it is Mikes OWN FAULT he fucked up cryonics by breaking the rules and abusing his position. Rate This Message: http://www.cryonet.org/cgi-bin/rate.cgi?msg=33413
