Subject: Re Ted Williams poll

"Unconfirmed reports say John Henry Williams plans to
freeze his father's body to possibly revive it in the
future or use its DNA. What do you think?

It's a shameless act by a greedy son.    58.0%
John Henry should be frozen -- alive!    33.0%
John Henry took care of his father; it's
a private matter and he should be allowed
to do what he wants.                      6.2%
Why not? It might work, and we could have
Ted back.                                 2.9%
                              Total votes: 4832"

Oh c'mon, DF!  I for one am overjoyed that almost 3%
(over 100 people) overcame the negative press to say
it might work.  I as a Libertarian am well accustomed
too being massacred in the polls.  I guess your
despondency matches your name:  I don't see myself as
"driven from the pack" but as "joyously free from the
herd".

A more complete article, and not bad, from the same paper:

Don't feel sorry for cryonics; feel sorry for the
poor benighted masses who will probably die because
they don't get it.
