Not that I'm worried about Howard Stern's followers, but it irks me that no
one in the media has pointed out this guy has been a proven extortionist.
Why is Alcor silent?  We are a professional organization, that can easily
stand up and shut down this nonsense.  I thought this was going to just go
away, but it doesn't seem to be.

The best example I can think of is the whole Tylenol scare of  the 80s, just
come out, be factual (avoid the ted williams stuff due to confidentially)...

In a vacuum, people will believe the only idiot talking, hell I'm starting
to think there's truth to the whole can/wrench episode.  WE can act like
these are normal tools in medical procedures, but we need to stop thinking
like cryonicists and think like the media-spoon-fed public that LOVES this
kind of gossip (you know, the kind that watch the kardashians and all that
other E trash).

This could all turn very ugly quickly if we are demonized as a freak show to
the public at large, we thought the whole funeral-parlor control crap in AZ
was bad, wait until this becomes a national issue and we're banned from
these procedures in the US altogether, it will simply be called "oversight".
