We can't make a quick buck. No >profits. While the rest of Mr. Bridge's post is a good description of how much Alcor currently differs from an organization out to make a quick buck, this implication that non-profit status somehow prevents Alcor from becoming such an organization is absurd. The fact that the money wouldn't be legally classified as profits doesn't prevent people from getting arbitrarily high salaries. Only competition and carefull checking of reputations by customers can keep cryonics free of scams. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Peter McCluskey | | The theory gives the answers, | http://www.rahul.net/pcm | not the theorist. - Allen Newell | http://www.quote.com | Rate This Message: http://www.cryonet.org/cgi-bin/rate.cgi?msg=6040
