" >>> I completely agree. This is one of the most perceptive statements I have ever read on Cryonet with respect to potential cryos. I myself am a former intrepid wanderer of the East and Latin America. Back in the day, I loved nothing better than to submerge myself completely alone in remote areas of 3rd world countries, to find myself the only white face for miles, living out my own Boy's Own Adventure from those dusty books I holed up with in the library in middle school. Now that I am older and married, from my observations of the world at large, and also from the perspective and experience of Cryonetters such as Charles Platt, I can see how people are tied to their present life, family and neighbors, and cannot imagine a life without those surroundings. If we can get to some of these expats before they set up religious shields, we may get a few members. --Randy __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!? LAUNCH - Your Yahoo!
