Subject: CRYONICS: "IDEAS"

Many of you have jumped on Paul Wakfers statement that ideas themself
were harmless and suppression was a violation of our most fundamental
individual right. Ideas are harmful only in the same sense that guns
are harmful, only guns are quicker and harder to defense. Yes, achild can
be hurt being told and convinced that poison is candy and so can the child
be harmed by a stray bullet from a driveby shooting. Once again, it is
people that kill, not guns, not ideas.  "When guns are outlawed, only 
outlaws will have guns" and when ideas are censored only the censors will
"have " ideas.   Who of you voicing vigorous objection to Paul are
willing to be disarmed.    Not me. The mistake Paul made was to leave
out the "It is not OK to yell fire in a crowded theater" concept.
