Subject: Cheating
Date: 07/02/88  Time: 11:12:47

I cheated in school, when I hadn't had time to study the night before (or
day of) the test, or when I just wanted to check my answers that I wasn't
sure of.
The classic 'cheating' episode waswhen my class took lab time before our
management test, and after our accounting class, to write many key
management lists into the accounting lecture on the board. The teacher never
noticed, and neither did the people in class before they were told, and
where to look for key words. It was funny, and sad, because the board only
helped for 1 question out of 50...

Then of course there was the cheating in our English class, where everyone
in the rear corner of the room was exchanging answers.  Actually getting out
of their seats and looking at each others tests.  This included me, of
course.  I also remember cheating in Chemistry, when my lab partner and I
would screw up an experiment and would just get the data from someone else
(and spend the rest of the hour mixing chemicals together to see what would
happen).  I do regret the cheating, but as I pointed out to Michelle,
cheating in High School is much more harmless than in college (mainly
because you learn very little in High School).

You've been in a terrible automobile accident.  Just before some very
serious brain surgery, your doctor informs you that he cheated all the way
through medical school.  Now, how do you feel about cheating?

Wow, people really blew my post
out of context. I cheated on
a poetry exam. It dealt with 
poetry only. Now I am not going
to be a good lawyer, and my
doctor cheated all the way through
medical school. This is scary...

'ghost drew' those awful pictures of you to begin with! Sorry David - I'm in

better. That way, when they fail, it can be blaimed on something else!

Perhaps a wandering psychopath could intelligently blunder into this
effulvum and extract some meaning and cause from the last 20 or so
messages.
But not I.
Like the cantankerous ryhming childhood prattle found on so many other
brainless boards, this SIG appears to be the exhaust pipe, albeit the
roaring shit-hole for the frustrated steam pipes of moral chorous.
The attraction and pre-disposition of the participants with male
genitalia and the description of surrogates appears to dominate over
genuine reason. `
Barbaric would be kind in describing your subversive ideals, but in time
you all could learn to upgrade your torments and triades into something a
little more colorful than what have seen.
Go fuck yourselves a little more.

  *1984* is certainly the gloomiest of Orwell's books, 
partly because Orwell was dying.  "I made it more 
pessimistic than I meant to," he told a friend, "probably
because I was so ill at the time I wrote it."  Even *1984*,
however, does not make the same mistake of treating the 
drift towards totalitarianism as irresistible.  But if the
slave empire will not endure, what hope then is there for 
the slaves of Oceania?
  "If there is hope," Winston Smith wrote in his diary, "it
lies in the proles."
  The prole(tarian)s are not even considered worth 
regimenting beyond a certain degree.  They are merely 
supposed to work, breed and die.  For the most part, the 
state stands secure in the conviction that the proles will
remain perpetually indifferent.  As he wrote *1984*, Orwell
was not only dying, but he was dying in the midst of the
failure of the Socialist government, a failure for which the
indifference of the working people was largely to blame.  In
*The Road to Wigan Pier*, Orwell recalled the way the common
people had been aroused by a swindle in the football pools,
while they ignored the simultaneous march of the Nazis into
the Rhineland.  In 1984 as in 1948, "the lottery, with its
weekly payout of enormous prizes, was the one public event 
to which the proles paid serious attention.  It was probable

that there were some millions of proles for whom the lottery
was the principle if not the only reason for remaining alive.
It was their delight, their folly, their anodyne, their
intellectual stimulant.  Where the lottery was concerned,
even people who could barely read and write seemed capable 
of intricate calculations and staggering feats of memory.
There was a whole tribe of men who made a living simply by
selling systems, forecasts and lucky amulets ...  The prizes
were largely imaginary.  Only small sums were actually paid 
out, the winners of the big prizes being non-existent 
persons."

The Beatles made "Abbey Road."  Millions of kids have drawn pictures for
their mother and father.  Thousands of scientists have spent their lives
trying to discover truth.
But then I guess the Beatles were be paying by the record company, the kids
wanted the approval of their parents, and the scientists wanted the approval
of their peers.  Nick is correct, your criterion that it not be selfish is
silly.  The beauty is the selfishness caused these people to create
happiness for others.

The Phoenix Children's Hospital provides care to children with life
threatening illnesses, much of it free of charge. Many of the greedy
capitalist doctors waive their fees to help these kids.

That was just the first thing that popped into my mind, but I could go on
and on.
