X-Message-Number: 19669 Date: Wed, 31 Jul 2002 20:20:25 -0500 Subject: No Subject From: Joesph A Zarka <> Hello All: You may remember about two weeks ago I mentioned that I wrote a letter to the editor of my local paper about cryonics only to not have it published. Than they published a moronic article about cryonics. I suggested that cryonet readers write to the editor of this paper. James Swayze did and I am not sure if any others did. I was surprised to find my letter published in todays paper. I am not sure if it was just lag time or that so many cryonet readers wrote to this editor that he was shamed into printing my letter. Anyway to James and any others that wrote letters, I just wanted to say thank you. To Kennita, in one of your postings you said that the Godless Americans march was a bad idea because some radical religious freak may drop a bomb in the middle of it. Yes it is true some radical creep could do something to cause harm to the marchers, however you do not have be participating in an atheist march or protest to be attacked by religious radicals. September 11th 2001 proves that. Just being in places such as Disney in Orlando where many people go puts you at risk. I agree with Marks posting, cryonet#19648, Alcor and CI are barking up the wrong tree if they think religions are their allies. The only reason religions have not attacked cryonics much is because we are such a micro-minority that we are almost nonexistant. With the Ted Williams saga I look for that to change. Mark Buddle wrote that death must scare the hell out of some atheists knowing what it means. What's to be scared of? The end of anything sucks, however it is nothing to fear.
