X-Message-Number: 24223 From: "John de Rivaz" <> 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. -- Sincerely, John de Rivaz: http://John.deRivaz.com for websites including Cryonics Europe, Longevity Report, The Venturists, Porthtowan, Alec Harley Reeves - inventor, Arthur Bowker - potter, de Rivaz genealogy, Nomad .. and more Rate This Message: http://www.cryonet.org/cgi-bin/rate.cgi?msg=24223
