Ann, when one writes about how they feel, that is called journeling, in some
circles. This proccess can help you understand how you feel. Once you put
your feelings into words it usely makes more sense.

It either makes more sense, or shows you how foolish your position on a
matter has been. Writing your feelings down can be a two-edgen sword, but
it's not too bad either way. If you can read your writings more objectively
than you can edit your spoken words, you can often alter your thoughts or
opinions.

There were these 2 men waiting to see a doctor about a problem both had. One
had a red penis, the other had a green one. Before either one went in, then
introduced themselves to each other, shook hands, and wished each other
luck. Then the one with the red penis went in. About 10 minutes later, he
came out. He explained that all he needed to do to get rid of the redness
was to take a bubble bath. Overjoyed at the thought of a simple cure, the
man with the green penis went in and saw the doctor. The man said, "That
other guy only has to take a bubble bath to cure his problem. What about
me?"
The doctor, after examining it, says, "That penis ain't just GREEN, it's
got GANGRENE!!! And, it has to be cut off immediately!!!"

It's a beautiful thought, and I see nothing wrong with it, except for the
fact that the Navajos I have had contact with sure don't seem to live by it.
Have you ever gone camping on their reservation? I have, and Hawley Lake,
Shush-be-tou, and others, including that big bass lake whose name escapes my
at the moment. It's like camping in a garbage dump! No trash receptacles to
speak of, the out houses are three (count 'em- 3!) pieces of plywood nailed
together over a hole, and when the hole fills up, all they do is dig another
one a few feet away, move the plywood and fill in the old hole. And for all
that, you have to pay through the nose, over and above the license fees you
have already paid the state!
We used to be able to shoot indians for scalping white men. Now they do it
with our help and blessings!
Never again for me!
(Sorry Lloyd. Nothing personal. That's just been my experience every time I
have visited the reservation, and they get no more chances.)

You sure said it right about them not walking in beauty. The Navajos are
pretty bad about their campgrounds - but the Apaches are very good - up in
the White mountains. However - the Apaches themselves leave much to be
desired. So help me - we lived up there 5 years and saw them daily - NEVER
once did I see (EVER) one of them smile or even grin. They do not hide their
hatred for the white man. Most were dead drunk too. No one in their right
mind went to Whiteriver either. It's very sad and the government doesn't
help the situation in the least by doling out money to them. In one
situation, the gov. went in and built a tract of nice two bedroom houses -
with in the year the entire area looked like a dump - in some cases, they
used the houses for their pigs, goats and horses and they lived in some
type of Hohocum (sp). I'll never understand the Indian. -=*) ANN (*=-

The larger concern was Japan - the "superdomino" as John
Dower called it. Japan, it was recognized, would become
again the "workshop of Asia," but requires access to raw
materials and markets. We must therefore gaurantee Japan
such access, so that the entire region can be incorporated
within the Grand Area instead of developing as part of a "new
order" with Japan as its industrial center, from which the US
might be excluded; concern over this prospect was a factor in
the complex interactions that led to the Japanese-American
war. But, it was feared, social and economic development in
Indochina in terms that might be meaningful to the Asian poor
might cause the rot to spread through Southeast and South
Asia, leading Japan to associate itself with a bloc of
nations independent of the Grand Area, or even worse, to
accommodate to the Soviet bloc. A 1949 report of the State
Department Policy Planning Staff urged that Washington should
"develop the economic interdependence between ((Southeast
Asia)) as a supplier of raw materials, and Japan, Western
Europe and India as suppliers of finished goods...," so that
"the region could begin to fulfill its major function as a
source of raw materials and a market for Japan and Western
Europe." In this context, Vietnam gained a significance as a
rotten apple that it did not have for American planners on
its own.
Such thinking is not original to American planners; similar
concerns had been evoked, for example, by the American
revolution. A few days before the Monroe Doctrine was
announced, the Czar of Russia warned:
Too many examples demonstrate that the contagion of
revolutionary principles is arrested by neither distance
nor physical obstacles. It crosses the seas, and often
appears with all the symptoms of destruction which
characterize it, in places where not even any direct
contact, any relation of proximity might give ground for
apprehension. France knows with what facility and
promptitude a revolution can be carried from America to
Europe.
Metternich feared that the Monroe Doctrine would "lend new
strength to the apostles of sedition, and reanimate the
courage of every conspirator. If this flood of evil
doctrines and pernicious examples should extend over the
whole of America, what would become of our religious and
political institutions, of the moral force of our
governments, and of that conservative system which has saved
Europe from complete dissolution?" One of the Czar's
diplomats warned that "we must work to prevent or defer this
terrible revolution, and above all to save and fortify the
portion ((of the Christian world)) which may escape the
contagion and the invasion of vicious principles," namely,
"the pernicious doctrines of republicanism and popular
self-rule."

The contemporary heirs of Metternich and the Czar are
animated by similar fears, and have even adopted similar
rhetoric - in Kissinger's case, perhaps with full awareness -
as the United States took over the role of the Czar in the
19th century as the defender of "civilization" against the
yellow dwarves and others whose pretensions threaten the
"disparity."
Note incidentally that the US achieved its major objectives
in Indochina: it is a mistake to describe the Vietnam war
simply as a US "defeat," as is commonly done, a fact that
became evident as the war reached its peak of violence in
the late 1960s. The devastation of Indochina by US violence
gaurantees that it will not be a model for anyone for a long
time to come, if ever. It will be lucky to survive. The
harsh and cruel measures undertaken by the US in the past
decade are intended to ensure that this partial victory is
maintained. Meanwhile, behind the "shield" provided by the
destruction of South Vietnam, then much of Indochina, the US
worked to buttress the second line of defense by supporting a
military coup in Indonesia in 1965 that wiped out hundreds of
thousands of landless peasants (a development much applauded
by Western liberals as vindication of the war against
Vietnam), backing the imposition of a Latin American-style
terror-and-torture state in the Philippines in 1972, etc.
A further useful consequence of the attack against South
Vietnam, Laos and Cambodia was to ensure North Vietnamese
dominance. It was clear enough by 1970, if not before, that
"by employing the vast resources of violence and terror at
its command" the US might be able to destroy the NLF in South
Vietnam and independent forces in Laos and Cambodia, thus
"creat((ing)) a situation in which, indeed, North Vietnam
will necessarily dominate Indochina, for no other viable
society will remain." This predictable consequence of US
savagery is regularly invoked in retrospective justification
for it, another ideological victory that would have impressed
Orwell. Note that this achievement is a special case of the
device discussed earlier: when conquest fails, efforts are
made to encourage assimilation to the Soviet bloc, to justify
further hostile acts and to limit the danger that
independence and success will "infect" others.
Still another notable achievement of US violence was to
ensure control by the harshest elements, those capable of
surviving an attack of extraordinary barbarism and
destructiveness; people whose homes and families are
destroyed by a cruel invader have a way of becoming angry,
even brutal, a fate that Westerners profess not to
comprehend, having effectively suppressed the memory of their
own behavior under far less onerous circumstances. Then
Then their terrible acts can be invoked to justify the attack
that helped to create this outcome. With a docile
intelligentsia and well-behaved ideological institutions,
Western Agitprop can achieve quite notable results.

I find what Chomsky has to say is interesting. I have a printout of
all of the messages concerning him. Does anyone think he is lying about
what he says? How do you know?

It is nice to know that you do not Hate God. You do appear
to have a very pessimistic outlook on life and the Bible seems to
be the reason for all the worlds miseries.
I would be careful, though, on your shock value techniques ....
I do not think God would take too kindly to such inSINuations.
I believe that there are rewards in Heaven. I wonder if there
is a demerit system in Hell ..... you know ..... the more you practice
anti-Biblical stuff, the more punishment you will receive in Hell.

Get real. This God entity you keep talking about does not exist.
The entire premise is stupid. It is illogical, does not compute, makes no
sense.
CLIFF, in answer to me remarking about Christians stealing the keys
from the car lot, I said it because when I apprehended two boys breaking the
tail light lenses on my van this summer, one of them had a cross on a chain
around his neck. I asked him what that was and he replied that he was a
Christian. I commented that I believed him.

I worked myself to the point where I took on a cold. So now, I have
a runny nose and feel like 50 weight oil in a Porsche.
