Subject: discord and resignations
Date: Fri, 11 Jun 2004 10:39:04 +0100

There have been recent messages concerning resignations etc from yet another
"Immortalist" group. There seem to be a lot of these groups, and however
carefully constituted, they seem to have these problems.

Yet the enemy is death or even more broadly put, this uncaring creation that
has individuals ageing, sickening and dying. I seem to recall a story about
Abraham Lincoln picking up an bundle of stocks and showing how hard it is to
break the whole bundle as opposed to breaking each stick individually. This
story may well be a myth, but it does show how all this fragmentation and
discord does the overall "cause" no good at all.

I have no idea what the answer is, but maybe those seeking to form another
of these groups should consult the writings of President Lincoln to seek a
solution.
