X-Message-Number: 6407 Date: Fri, 28 Jun 1996 11:19:07 +0100 From: John de Rivaz <> Subject: Terra Libra list reanimated Some of you may have been subscribers to the mailing list for the freedom organisation terra-libra. They suddenly stopped their mailing list. I have got the names and revived it, and hope to make it into a vigourous discussion area for freedom issues. If anyone would like to subscribe, please email for full details. [It is, of course free.] In particular I will be bringing in the subject of cryonic suspension, because whether they accept it or not freedom seeks must accept others' freedom to use it without hindrance. At present most of the financial and organisational problems relate to artificial structures of government and professional interests. In fact the only one that doesn't is the basic matter of whether the client has the funds in the first place. If he only *just* has enough, then the professional and governmental overhead is enough to tip the balance the wrong way. [In case anyone brings it up again, life insurance produces less gain than a direct investment in the same securities. Of course the life cover and professional management has its cost.] The debate on <uk.legal> earlier this year focussed on the matter as to whether cryonicists should be allowed "special favours" in not having part of their money confiscated on death and their bodies cut up for medical and legal research. -- Sincerely, **************************************** * Publisher of Longevity Report * John de Rivaz * Fractal Report * * details on request * **************************************** In the information age, sharing can increase world wealth enormously, because giving information does not decrease your information. http://ourworld.compuserve.com/homepages/JohndeR Fast loading, very few slow pictures Rate This Message: http://www.cryonet.org/cgi-bin/rate.cgi?msg=6407
