I hope this time my URL get's throughhttp://geocities.com/dennisfreethinker/This
was the correct URL for the follwing (previous) message: I've always wondered 
why a bunch of relatively bright people (like cryonicists )don't team up to form
some sort of micro economy ( example - by giving preferential treatment to each
other like buying insurance from Rudi Hoffman :) versus other brokers.).That 
way we could somewhat insulate ourselves from the vagaries imposed by the larger
relatively irrational economics pursued by the world at large. Besides the 
obvious financial advantage this could also be a precursor to some kind of 
"cryonicist village"I'm serious in pursing a co-operative strategy on that 
front. Read more at http://www.geocities.com/dennisfreethinker/Dennisunited we 
stand - divided we _will_

history:http://www.benbest.com/polecon/buscycle.html#housing-- Ben BestI don't 
always agree with Ben Best.However, I am in substantial agreement with this 
analysis of economics, with it's free market and Austrian economics spin on 
history. Ben's analysis and details and references would probably be good 
enoughfor most grad schools to consider it a Master's or PhD thesis in economic 
theory.Please don't think that recent events have repudiated basic free market 
theory economics.In contrast, the market distortions caused by Fed mediated 
lending, in which the central bank sets and maintains artificially low interest 
rates, may be one of the causes of the current crisis. Along, of course, with 
fiat based printed money, backed solely by goverment taxing and extortion 
policies.Everyone these days seems to have opinions they will bore you with at 
the drop of a hat about the economic "crisis." But, IMO, Ben has provided a 
historical perspective much more well informed than most. Of course, none of 
this may make a difference. Most of us feel dismayingly powerless regarding 
macro-economic matters. Sorry for the off-topic post, but Ben Best is a pretty 
smart fellow. I'm glad he's on our side, trying to save our individual 
lives...Rudi
