> A cultural enclave presents a chance to get things right; no crime, no
brutality, no drugs. 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.

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.
