So the idea is to bribe our descendants so they will bring us into the future? This is quite funny. Practical? I kinda doubt it. Invited time travelers failed to show up at a convention a few years ago. Still, the idea's kinda cool, assuming nobody but these futurians get the dough. I wouldn't mind throwing in a few bucks, just for fun.

I must say, quite creative. Almost has a Douglas Adams style to it.

What's a VCR? Seriously though, how old is this page?

Why continue? Because we must. Because we have the call. Because it is nobler to fight for rationality without winning than to give up in the face of continued defeats. Because whatever true progress humanity makes is through the rationality of the occasional individual and because any one individual we may win for the cause may do more for humanity than a hundred thousand who hug their superstitions to their breast.

Won't the Earth already be over populated? Why would we want to ship people in from the past now, much less 500 years from now. Would anyone actually expect someone in the future to really keep that deal? Mind boggling if anyone falls for it.

Facts! Pssh, you can prove anything even remotely true with facts.

Lisa: Yes, but wouldn't you rather know the truth than to delude yourself for happiness?
Marge: Well... um.... [goes outside to jump on tampoline with Homer.]

I think that site probably makes money from the fact you can sign people up as a gift. It would make a good joke present. Like those 'own a piece of Mars' things you can get.

Right. Good for a laugh among friends, but completely worthless otherwise.
