A country based on respect for life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness. A unique "small town". I know the Amish are faultering, but we can stick an explorative foot into the waters of the future and have places to retract to; places to call home. Pizer's response: In Mayer Arizona, construction has started on 17 cabins and a 9,000 sq. ft. lodge building on 34 acres. The property touches the state highway and the other boundries are open to government land for miles in most directions. We hope to be open in June of this year. The resort will be available to the public and has a dandy conference room that can hold close to 100 people. The area is just right for a cryonics community. In a few more years, I hope to help develop such a thing, I will need help. For now, a person can buy a 3 acre lot a few miles from the resort for $30,000. These lots have all utilities and are in a gated community. A few miles the other direction is Mayer. In that small town a person can buy a mobil home or small house for $40,000. Christensen: > We can build the long tomorrow, but we also need a place to bed down at night. Pizer's response: We are going through interesting times. Humanity is trying to reach a point where technology can make us immortal and give us other safety and comfort in our lives. But we have to be careful we don't get wiped out by the very technology we are trying to develop along the way. For the next 100 years there probably is more safety living in rural areas, and especially in a rural community that is dominated by cryonicists.
