And yet where would those research teams be without any of the individuals that were on them? I think John Quincy Adams had the best to say about it: "Individual liberty is individual power, and as the power of a community is a mass compounded of the individual powers, the nation which enjoys the most freedom must necessarily be in proportion to its numbers the most powerful nation." Label me the flagrant individualist. And yes, there was a cryonics tie for this message. The next meeting of the Houston Life Extension Enthusiasts group is Sunday 18 June 1995 at 3 pm. My house in Houston is the setting. Call me for directions or email me. Phone is (713) 990-9536. Email is I have prepped flyers which will be sent to all interested parties.
