The reason I bring this up is television and print images. TV archives collect images and once an image is in their archives you have very little control over its use. TV stations and networks which are affilated can share archive footage and what is important to remember that often images are used with the original sound. Still photos in newspapers and magazines have the same issue. (end) Fred, I admit you bring up an important point. This does not totally change my mind about Alcor going, but now I tend to favor having the Society for Venturism or another non-Alcor cryonics group put up a booth. This way Alcor can avoid possible extra "media heat" while the cryonics message still gets out. I think it could be exhausting for just one person to set up a booth and on their own represent cryonics. Three people at a minimum is probably what we need to get the job done. And perhaps Alcor and other organizations like the Foresight Institute can donate posters and displays to help make things look professional.
