X-Message-Number: 4912 Date: Sun, 24 Sep 1995 11:21:27 -0400 (EDT) From: Robin Helweg-Larsen <> Subject: Re: CryoIndividualism Charles Platt is partially right, that I, like others, prefer to do things my own way - or else none of us would have broken free to be cryonicists. But I, like others, also enjoy being part of a group of like-minded people, and personally I tend to join rather than start such groups. But don't forget, Charles, I'm not an American citizen; I don't even have a green card; I'm here somewhat precariously on a year-to-year visa, and may not have the long-term option of moving to Scottsdale or wherever. As for your comments about hurricanes: they're really not that big a deal, they're not like earthquakes, you can easily build and stockpile against them. And living in the Bahamas, if you live near an airport with several flights a day, means you're living an hour away from Miami. Of course, you have to be comfortable with small towns and empty horizons, but on the other hand, some people aren't comfortable with New York City. But please remember, this is only an option being explored: I only mentioned it because of Bill Walker's suggestion for ecotourist/retirement cryonics facilities.... I have already posted an awareness of the problems of spreading resources unnecessarily thin. Robin HL Rate This Message: http://www.cryonet.org/cgi-bin/rate.cgi?msg=4912
