(Copying Steve Harris post.)

Indeed!  Having a destroyed Gulf only increases the sweetness of the
estuaries we have left, no? ;)  They would be meaningless without it.....

(end copying)

LOL!  I assume everyone on this got the joke.  How insane is it for
otherwise intelligent people, including most skeptics/secularists, to
blather on about "Death gives meaning to life...if we did not age and die so
quickly, we would not appreciate each day...blah blah blah."?

The widespread memes about the virtue of death and aging have almost
certainly been at least partly the reason there is no "Manhattan Project on
Aging."

I sometimes forget how truly clever and fun members of this bb can be...
Great to hear from you, Steve.

Rudi

People will have to construct anxiety buffers to manage their terror
when they encounter Deepwater Horizon salience.

Subject: "New Scientist" review of Bob Ettinger's second book (1972)
From: MARK PLUS <[email protected]>

"New Scientist" reviews Bob's book "Man Into Superman":

http://books.google.com/books?id=xgKLfKjjft8C&lpg=PA717&dq=robert%20ettinger&lr&as_brr=1&as_pt=MAGAZINES&pg=PA717#v=onepage&q=robert%20ettinger&f=false

I've read recently about Bob's injury and the surgery to install a new
hip joint. I hope he still feels like staying with us on this side of
the cryostat for a few more years.
