Subject: Ultimatum-- Lend support to a new credit system or I quit cry...


Either Alcor board officially subscribes to the Hamiltonnia credit system as 
described by Larouche or I quit cryonics. It's that simple. Alcor has until the 
end of 2009 to discuss this. I'll notify individual board members over the next 
month or two. 


My reasoning is that cryonics, even though it could technically work, will 
definitely fail to reach its potential if the current financial collapse 
conintues and the ONLY way to prevent that is via the Hamiltonian credit system.
Here's a briefing on that matter. 

LaRouche to State Governors: Without a New Credit System, It's Over

Nice Try, But Not A New Credit System
http://www.larouchepac.com/node/11008


It's not that I think Alcor's official support will neccessarily change things, 
nor that their lack of support will influence anything-- but rather it's an 
indication of the intentions of the Alcor board and members in terms of the 
future. By voting down a Hamiltonian credit system, they are contributing to a 
new dark ages to descend on humanity-- with the belief that they themselves can 
survive it-- while the rest of humanity dies off. I can't associate with an 
organization like that.


Further, if a few cryonicists "make it' under those conditions, it probably 
won't be me who is selected for a "complimentary reanimation"-- with no 
reanimation fund and a penchant for Larouche. 


Finally, given the coming destruction of the USA if we do not adopt a credit 
system, I have to preserve every available dollar I have for sheer survival 
now-- and can no longer speculate on the cryonics "option". The situation will 
be the same for many ordinary cryonics members. The only people who remain 
signed up will be those who are able to ride the curve into the new dark age the
longest-- but even they will not be reanimated in a dark ages. Without a new 
Hamiltonian credit system, cryonics is done. 


I'm just the canary in the mine.... the messenger. This is what I see. Take it 
or leave it. Study the articles above and take your stand. Make it public. A 
humanist cryonics is possible-- and if we DO get a new credit system, and if we 
do enact larouche's proposals over the next 25 years, I might have a chance of 
getting involved in cryonics again-- but as it is-- we're ALL going down. If you
think you can escape a civilization crash, you don't understand the situation.
