  If you want to excited about the fact that I used the BBS names in the
intro, while other names were used in the tape, you might as well note that
Beauregard Dog is also referred to by another name by someone speaking on
tape. I was well aware of these things and decided that using the names
people log in under in the intro was the most consistent method of
identifying them to people who may not know them.

Problem is, at that time, I didn't use the handle Jeff Beck.  If someone
*had* introduced me as such, I would have to suspect tampering in the
temporal fabric of our universe.
 
My temporal watchdogs tell me that the last time this happened in our
particular neck of the Milky Way was August 15, 1953.  However, it is
theoretically possible to circumvent the dogs from outside the 4-D

In North Carolina, a judge sentenced William Fry to 10 years in prison for
violating the state's sodomy law.  Fry admitted on the stand that his
girlfriend had performed fellatio on him.  _Playboy_ reports that on the
same day the same judge sentenced a murderer to a five-year sentence and an
arsonist to an eight-year sentence.  So if you're in North Carolina and
someone performs oral sex on you, kill her.  You'll eliminate the only
witness to the sodomy.  If the police do catch you, they can only pin the
murder rap on you, and that means less time.

I'm sure you have all been in one way or another indoctrinated
as to what the following positions are;
(1) The Doggy position
(2) The Missionary position.
Well, let us introduce a third position..it's called the Rodeo position.
What you do is get your wife into the doggie position. Next you hold
the back of her head by firmly grasping her hair. Then pinch and 
grab her menacingly in the crotch and breasts. SHe'll ask, in so
many words, what the hell you think you're doing...it is then
you tell her;
"This is the way my girlfriend likes it."
 
Your mission is to stay on her for 8 seconds.
 
That is the rodeo position.

   Rod, I do not pray to my God in fear, at least not the 'fear' you seem to
espouse that Christians have toward God. My 'fear' is a reverent awe of my
Creator, not terror. I have no reason to fear my Lord.
   I find McDowell's books interesting, but I don't believe that you can
convince someone to believe in Christ on the basis of reason. Scripture says
that belief is the work of the Holy Spirit, and it can only be achieved
through the word of Christ. If you don't believe the words of Scripture,
then nothing is going to convince you.

   I have met Mike Middleton in person, and know him to be a kind and
sincere person face-to-face. We ran into some differences on a BBS, however,
and it strained our friendship. I made apologies where I was wrong, and
extended my hand in an attempt at reconciliation. Unfortunately, he refused
to accept my apologies, and showed no desire to reconcile, or at least agree
to disagree. It was a shame, too, because I really like Mike in person, it's
just that I don't believe he has learned to converse properly via computer,
or to differentiate between BBS and flesh-and-blood real life.

I am *glad* that the U.S. Supreme Court struck down the anti-flag-burning
law.  This is so that Congress (and eventually the states) will amend the
Constitution to give the flag the protection that it deserves.
 
Besides, once we amend the constitution once to chip away at the Bill of
Rights, we can more easily change it in the future.  We can change the
second and fourth amendments, for instance, to get rid of guns and allow the
police to search whenever they need to.

Rep. Bob McEwen (R-Ohio) thinks he's found the way to win the drug war.  He
has introduced HR 3346, affectionately known as the bounty hunter act.
This law would allow private citizens to bring in drug dealers and get 50
percent of the value of the assets the dealer forfeits if he is convicted.
There's just one problem, Bob.  Steve McQueen is dead.

 
Sanitation crews scooped up 154.3 tons of litter left in Central Park by
Earth Day celebrants.  The debris was scattered all over the Great Lawn,
the nearby woods, and even in the trees.  The lawn itself was heavily
damaged and several park fences were torn down.  Earth Day organizers
promised that the effects of the event would be felt for years to come.
Well, that may be an exaggeration, but officials say it will take "several
months" to clean up Central Park.

really giving it much thought, I just began to assume that this person must
be Zagar. I wish I had taken the first draft of the intro over to Cliff's to

  Insight On The News publishes voting breakdowns for 3 House and Senate
votes in each issue. The June 11 issue covers 3 Senate votes concerning
gun control amendments to the Ominibus Crime Bill. 
  The first vote was on an amendment offered by Senator Metzenbaum to
outlaw the sale of clips holding more than 15 rounds and expand the list
of banned 'assault weapons' from 9 to 21. Senator Hatch argued that 'the
proposal would affect only noncriminal gun owners' and have no effect on
violent crime. He also said 'that clips purchased before the ban would be
impossible to distinguish.' The amendment was tabled by a vote of 82 to
17. DeConcini and McCain both voted with the majority to stop the measure.
  The second vote was on a modification proposed by Senator Hatch to 
eliminate the list of nine weapons to be banned. He argued that the ban
would "impose a complicated, cumbersome, unworkable and unfair imposition
on honest, law-abiding gun owners." DeConcini said 'that the guns listed
were too powerful to be of any recreational or hunting use.' The proposal
was killed, 48 to 52. DeConcini voted to retain the gun ban, while McCain
voted in favor Hatch's amendment to remove the ban. The vote was even
closer than it appears, because Senator Dole voted to kill the measure
even though he favored its passage. This was done because he was sure it
would not pass and needed to vote against it in order to have the right
to demand another vote to reconsider it. The third vote was the
reconsideration of the Hatch amendment and failed 49-50. McCain again
voted to delete the gun ban, while DeConcini again voted in favor of the
ban.

From the June 11, 1990 issue of Insight On The News:

JUSTICE DEPT. WANTS NARROWER DRUG RULING
   The Justice Department is asking U.S. District Judge Gerhard A. Gesell
to narrow the scope of a mid-May decision that put the department's drug
testing policy on hold. By requiring lawyer Carl Willner to take a urine
analysis test after he was tenatively given a job with the antitrust unit,
Justice violated his Fourth Amendment right not to be searched without
reasonable suspicions, the Washington judge ruled.
   Gesell issued an injunction against the Antitrust Division, requiring
it to stop preemployment drug testing. The Justice Department has asked
the judge to make the injunction applicable only to Willner while allowing
the division to test other applicants. Willner's counsel, Arthur Spitzer,
says the request is a delaying tactic being used while the department
prepares to appeal Gesell's ruling.
