Subject: CRYONICS Keith Henson's postings

To: Kevin Brown
 
 
 
Keith Henson says that "we all have to live with the 
consequences" of Saul Kent's book, which compiled opinions 
about Carlos Mondragon's presidency. However, "living with 
the consequences" is precisely what Keith seems unwilling to 
do. Instead, he is exacerbating residual discontent by 
suggesting that Saul threatens Alcor merely by being actively 
involved in cryonics. 
 
This reminds me of the kind of mudslinging campaign indulged 
in by George Bush, with the same apparent intention: to 
undermine confidence in one's opponent by whipping up 
people's anxieties based on an oversimplified handful of 
facts. If Keith has a higher motive than this, I would very 
much like to know what it is. 
 
A few weeks ago, Keith asked various people (myself included) 
to refrain from dealing with political topics on the net. 
Ironically, Keith himself is now the ONLY person initiating 
these topics. Keith, is it not possible for you to take your 
own good advice? 
 
Others (such as Dave Pizer), who backed Carlos and lost, have 
had the decency to express their support for the new 
administration and stop trying to stir up resentment. Keith, 
is it not possible to follow their fine example?
