Bang and Olufsen is the best if you're fond of pretentiousness and not audio
quality. It's not that they're that bad, but you're paying for furniture
design, not precision hardware.

Personally, I'd much rather look at a SOTA Star Sapphire (with vacuum
hold-down and power line conditioner). For a cartridge, a Koetsu Rosewood
Signature (for euphonic pleasure) and a Monster Cable Genesis (for
accuracy).

Okay Cliff, I admit forgetting that I left message #4321, since the gist of
it carried no great importance in the scheme of things, and I have other
areas of my life that take a much higher priority than BBSing, and
remembering every word I typed.
Nevertheless, if you or anyone read anything derogatory in that message
aimed at Rod's children, you better read it again, as well as the message
from Rod to which I was referring.
 Now that you have jarred my memory, (thanks, I needed that!), I seem to
recall that he was bragging about his children's acomplishments in school,
and then followed that up with the rather negative remark that they would
probably become computer criminals.
 My comment was aimed, not at his kids, but at his continuingly negative
outlook on anything and anybody, an outlook that could well pass on to his
unfortunate offspring, and an attitude that many users, including yourself
Cliff, have blasted many times in the past, in far more vituperative
messages than the one I left.
 Finally, I have NO war with Rod. Just a lot of pity in a lot of areas. How
can one have a war with someone so pathetically locked in to his past that
he can't see the beauty of a new day?

Rod, your father-in-law doesn't know what he's talking about.  The
Libertarian Party was formed in 1971 by some Republicans disgruntled with
the Nixon administration after the president imposed wage and price
controls.  The Libertarian candidate in 1972, John Hospers, received one
electoral vote from Virginia, from a faithless Nixon elector.  The peak of
the Libertarian Party's popular strength in preidential elections came in
1980, when Ed Clark received a whopping 1.1 percent of the vote (including
11.7 percent of the vote in Alaska, which actually had a Libertarian state
legislator for a while).  Since the Republicans have embraced a more
free-market ideology during the 1980s, there isn't much need for a
Libertarian Party anymore, so the only people who vote for them are the
die-hards who think drug laws are the moral equivalent of slavery and who
want to eliminate the FBI.

The only significant minor parties formed during the Depression were the
Union Party, which was started in 1936 and dissoved in 1939, and the
Socialist Workers Party, a Trotskyite band which lives on in obscurity to
this day.

Dumping toxic wastes on the Third World

  Exporting hazardous and toxic wastes to Third World 
countries is a growth industry.  The exported material
includes chemical-contaminated wastes, pharmaceutical refuse,
and municipal incinerator ash, all of which can cause
contamination of ground water and crops, birth defects, and
cancer.
  Traditionally most U.S. toxic waste exports have gone to 
Canada, where regulations are less stringent than in the U.S.
But now the most abrupt increase is in shipments to the Third
World, where regulations are either non-existent or barely
enforced.
  The need for new overseas dumping grounds has been caused
by an explosion in the volume of *recorded* hazardous wastes
being produced in the U.S.  According to the General
Accounting Office, the amount rose from about nine million
metric tons in 1970 to at least 247 million tons in 1984;
other experts place the current figure at close to 400
million metric tons.
  U.S. officials, aware of the sensitive legal and foreign
policy questions involved, are reluctant to crack down on
illegal dumpers.  The government itself is responsible for
generating a significant portion of the hazardous waste 

exports.  One large illegal operation that was halted last 
year had received more than half its toxic wastes from
various branches of the federal government, mainly the
military.
  Through court records, interviews, and government 
documents, reporters found the following examples:
- Philadelphia is planning to ship 600,000 tons of ash 
residue a year from its municiple incinerator to Panama.
- L.P.T., a company with offices in American Samoa and
California, is seeking approval to build an incinerator in
American Samoa to burn U.S. wastes and export the ash to the
Philippines.
- Western Pacific Waste Repositories, based in Carson City,
Nevada, is proposing to build a hazardous waste storage and
treatment plant on Erikub atoll, an uninhabited area of the
Marshall Islands.
  U.S. government officials responsible for monitoring toxic
waste traffic claim they are powerless.  "Under the federal
system, we only have control over what's in the country,"
says Wendy Grieder, an official in the EPA's Office of
International Activities.  "Once it leaves, we can't do
anything about it."
  But exported wastes may return to haunt us.  "It's 
possible that we could send sludge to the Caribbean and they
might use it on spinach or other vegetables," warned Grieder.
And since the Food and Drug Administration checks only a
small portion of food entering the U.S., exporting hazardous
wastes could easily end up on our dinner table.

Toxic Wastes," by Andrew Porterfield and David Weir.

So what? That doesn't make you any more or less moral than I, nor does it

 Actually, you impress me as being the kind of person who, in a face to face

If you eer took the time to know of whom you speak and ridicule, you would
know that the last word in the world that would fit me is freeloader.
I worked from the time I was 16 years old and a senior in high school until
recently, when I retired after a 32 year career in government service, a
career during which I never once felt the need to thank anyone for my
paycheck, because I had earned every cent.
 In all those years, and while I participated in th creation of 5
responsible adults, I never once received an unemployment check, never
applied for welfare, never even looked at a food stamp, or any other
giveaway program.
So take your assessment of me, based on the depth of your ignorance, and
stick it where the sun doesn't shine. The excrement you so laughinly call

No response needed, since I shall in the future exercize my "S" key when I

Cliff:  The collection of messages under this name are nothing more than
thinly veiled ad hominem attacks with little reasoning to support the
political assertions made within.  Among the statements made with little
logical contemplation are (1) Dukakis supporters are immoral (because Cliff
does not agree with some of his policy), (2) People with lower intelligence
like democraats because they want the freebies , (3) This is just a theatre
and not REAL (therefore you can be as much of an arrogant a$$ as you want,
but it's not REALLY you.)  Perhaps the most irritating thing about the
messages under Cliff's name are the SMILE messages at the end.  There is
nothing more annoying than being told to smile.

Mike Carter:  Here's one to consider.  Mike Carter used to be known as a
master of the WAR board on the Keep BBS.  That was about all he was known
for.  He has a good vocabulary at his disposal, but little capacity to use
it.  The whole of Mike Carter's literary essence on this BBS can be summed
up with the statement:  "Rapists should be castrated by weed eater."

JT:  In the few rare moments when he is coherent and articulate, this
persona is actually a contributing force to the BBS.  Otherwise, by the time
one is through sifting through all the opinions, ad hominem and
attention-soliciting jibes, it's just not worth it.

Ann Oudin:  The messages under this name are usually a high proportion of
opinion to a low proportion of analysis.  There also seems to be a lot of
repetition, and the length she uses to express herself could be shortened
with increading punch.  However, I like her straightforward approach, and I
like Ann, so it's OK.

Paul Savage:  He hasn't written anything lately that's been incriminating,
so I'll give him a good review.  He hasn't said anything like "Fags should
be taken to the desert and shot," and has been reasonably coherent.  (Ralph
Blehm has, and will be dealt with next).  The only negative points Paul gets
are for being a wee bit TOO defensive when he responded to Mike Carter.  But
that's OK, because it was one of the more interesting messages lately, as
compared to most on this BBS, which are as bland as communion wafers in
milk.

Daryl Westfall:  He's OK, as long as he isn't talking about Prince or
writing poetry (Just kidding.  Your poetry is absolutely fabulous).

Ralph Blehm:  Here's an odd one.  He wants to shoot everybody.  Assuming
he's kidding, it's a fairly funny joke, but it's only one joke.  The rule
should be one joke per message, and one message per joke.  Assuming he's not
kidding, he should be stood up against a wall and shot.  Either way I give
him a thumbs up.
                                            I think I will shut up now.

Torture in El Salvador: The report from Mariona prison

  In late 1986 a 165-page report was smuggled out of the
Mariona men's prison in El Salvador.  Compiled by five
imprisoned members of the Human Rights Commission of El
Salvador (CDHES), the report documents the routine use of at
least 40 kinds of torture on political prisoners.
  The report said that torture is systematic, not random,
and that U.S. servicemen often act as supervisors.  Reports
of torture are nothing new in El Salvador.  What is new,
according to the report, is that torture, together with the
continued use of death-squad kidnappings, is integral to the
U.S. counterinsurgency program there.
  The Marin Interfaith Task Force of Mill Valley, California,
assembled the smuggled report from Mariona prison into a
document titled "Torture in El Salvador."  Starting in
September 1986, the Task Force has tried to generate media
interest in the story, sending the report to the nation's
major newspapers, including the *New York Times*, 
*Washington Post*, *Boston Globe*, and *Los Angeles Times*,
as well as to the wire services.  Before February 1987, when
Alexander Cockburn wrote his article for *The Nation*, the
only media coverage had been in Mexico and Europe, in a UPI
Spanish-language story, and on Spanish-language radio.

  As Cockburn noted, it was "during this period, on Nov. 22,
1986, that Secretary of State George Shultz asked Congress 
to approve nearly $7 million in police aid for El Salvadore
in 1987, providing the necessary certification that the
government of El Salvadore had 'made significant progress
during the six-month period preceding this determination in
eliminating any human rights violations.'"
  On Oct. 26, 1987, assassins probably belonging to the
Salvadoran security forces murdered Herbert Ernesto Anaya,
head of the Salvadoran Human Rights Commission and the last
survivor of that commission's eight founders.  Anaya also 
was one of the five original researchers and authors of the
smuggled report from the Mariona men's prison.

Quit picking on Cliff.
It's my understanding that he is something of a "contributing force to the
BBS" too.

      I was a participant in a national, telephone survey, this past
week.  A woman, phoning from Philadelphia, asked me about 20 questions,
all pertaining to national politics.  What amazed me is when she was
questioning me about my choice for the office of president, I was only
given two choices, Bush or Dukakis, Democrat or Republican.
      I was asked the usual questions about race, religion, education
and income.  The choices of religion was just that, there were no
mention of atheist or even agnostic, let alone SubGenius.
      I completed the interview and I voted for "None of the Above"
and gave Ron Paul, the Libertarian a mention.  I gave her a hard time
about their choices of religions.  I was glad I voted.
