X-Message-Number: 28045 Date: Fri, 16 Jun 2006 15:20:22 -0400 From: References: <> Subject: Re: CryoNet #28036 - #28041 Recent messages have gone wildly off topic for cryonics. This should not be a forum for debating capitalism, libertarianism, first world-third world issues, population, resource depletion, or global warming. We all have lots of opinions on many of these subjects but they don't belong here unless we can tie them firmly and directly to cryonics. If you can explain why one of these off-topic issues creates serious problems for cryonics now or in the future, fine. Explain that and others should listen carefully and respond appropriately. If you are putting forward ideas about the future which you think will ultimately doom cryonics or make it irrelevant, that's fine, too, but you then have no business on cryonet because you are just lurking here to put us down, and you are in the way of honest and straightforward discussion and argument about what we should be doing to advance our cause.
