You were joking about S. Diego being less polluted than Phoenix right? With
all the people they have there, it has to be more polluted! They dump raw
sewage in the ocean at times. Their skidrow is certainly larger and dirtier
than Phoenix's. And a lot of the crazies come from L.A. all the time. You
don't have much smog - only because the ocean breeze blows it someplace else
is all.
I have heard and read at times that Phoenix is more polluted than L.A. is
and that simply is not the truth. Even at our worse smog filled days - it
doesn't come close to one of L.A.'s good days! The last time I was there 
was in 1982 and it hadn't changed for the betten then and I doubt it is now.
What is the population of San Diego now. I'll bet there are three times as
many people in that area as Maricopa county all together. =*--ANN--*=

Hey......everyone.....

I live in San Diego (when I have to) and it's more polluted than Phoenix.  I
think we have a smaller population, but the air currents off the ocean drice
the smog inland.  Also we get all the smoke from cooking fires in Tiajuana.

If you want to see some smog, go to Mexico City.  My mom's family lives
there, and the las time we were down there you couldn't see across the
street.

Re: your post # 2093 --- but that is the truth now - we don't have to let
them out - they ARE out and roaming the streets! 

RE: solving our problems - my main advice is - we must get rid of the 'ME
GENERATION' attitude! It has produced nothing but negativity. Everyone wants
to be in the lime light all the time. Everyone wants to be just for
themselves and no one else. The 'ME' attitude hits us at all phases - from
family to government. On the family level - kids are being raised in an
invironment where they are on their own most of their lives because both
parents work - no one wants to stay home and raise them for fear they'll
miss out on their careers - their life! The marriage ususally doesn't last
under that kind of stress. Or they didn't get married in the first place not
wanting to give up their precious freedoms. The kids grow up being just for
themselves. (Why these people bother to have children is beyond me) On the
government level - everyone wants the lime light to further their careers.
They wouldn't give a thought to sticking together be they rep. or Dem. So, I
think if we got rid of that attitude, it would change things for the better.
I don't know about anyone else, but I get a lot of happiness doing something
for others. When I'm selfish, I'm not happy! See you later. =*--ANN--*=

        Yeah, many kids are of the latch-key variety because mommy and daddy
don't want to get evicted.  The kids grow up with dis-respect for authority
because they had little supervision by the parents.  The parents are tired

white collar and brain tourniquet (tie) boys.  They are the cause of the
unrest and substandard living conditions.  While they live in the lap of
luxury, many others truly suffer.  Many spend their entire lives in poverty
and want while the fat cats eat pork and prime meats.

 Since this IS your BBS, I imagine you can say snything you wish onit, but I
was under the impression that YOU created the COSmos SIG for the purpose of
spleen venting. If you are now going to open the rest of the BBS to garbage

is warn us, or maybe the rules don't apply when you've been too long in the

that area as well. It might be appropriate to quote another here, who said,
almost 2000 years ago, "Out of the abundance of the heart the mouth

I pray that your heart be filled to overflowing with the joys and the love
of God. Have a great day.

I noticed something in the paper yesterday that I don't understand and
wonder if someone can enlighten me. In March, a group protested in front of
the federal building - to protest an announcement by Reagan that 3,200 U.S.
troops were going to be sent to Honduras. They wouldn't leave and were
arrested for trasspassing. A few will spend a day in jail and fined. My
questions are: --- how can anyone be arrested for trasspassing at a public
building? Don't we, as taxpayers, own that building and have a right to
access? Also, since when was it against the law to protest? Isn't that a
Constitutional Right? I would appriciate your answers because I don't know
the law re: this. I just assumed. =*--ANN--*=

Date: 10/07/88  Time: 18:41:18

More from Utne Reader ...

Propaganda in America?  You might scoff at the statement by
controversial MIT professor and foreign policy critic Noam
Chomsky that propaganda plays a major role in America's
political affairs.  Propaganda, you might reply, is far more
prevalent in a totalitarian system such as the Soviet Union.
But is that really the case?  Chomsky argues that propaganda
is more widespread in democratic nations than in 
authoritarian ones, and he cites press coverage of the
Vietnam war and Nicaragua to back up his assertion.

              Propaganda, American-style
          by Noam Chomsky - Propaganda Review

Pointing to the massive amounts of propaganda spewed by
governments and institutions around the world, observers
have called our era the age of Orwell.  But the fact is that
Orwell was a latecomer on the scene.  As early as
World War I, American historians offered themselves to
President Woodrow Wilson to carry out a task they called
"historical engineering," by which they meant designing the
facts of history so that they would serve state policy.  In
this instance, U.S. government wanted to silence opposition
to the war.  This represents a version of Orwell's 1984, even
before Orwell was writing.
  In 1921 the famous American journalist Walter Lippman said
that the art of democracy requires what he called the
"manufacture of consent."  This phrase is an Orwellian
euphemism for thought control.  The idea is that in a state
such as the U.S. where the government can't control the
people by force, it had better control what they think.
  The Soviet Union is at the opposite end of the spectrum
from us in its domestic freedoms.  It's essentially a country
run by the bludgeon.  It's very easy to determine what 
propaganda is in the USSR: what the state produces is
propaganda.
  That's the kind of thing that Orwell described in *1984*
(not a very good book in my opinion).  *1984* is so popular
because it's trivial and because it attacks our enemies.  If
Orwell had dealt with a different problem - ourselves - his
book wouldn't have been popular.  In fact, it probably
wouldn't have been published.
  In totalitarian societies where there's a Ministry of 
Truth, propaganda doesn't really try to control your 
thoughts.  It just gives you the party line.  It says, 
"Here's the official doctrine; don't disobey and you won't
get in trouble.  What you think is not of great importance to
anyone.  If you get out of line we'll do something to you
because we have force."
  Democratic societies can't work like that, because the
state is much more limited in its capacity to control
behavior by force.  Since the voice of the people is allowed
to speak out, those in power better control what that voice
says - in other words, control what people think.

All the Apollo menbers were so terrified, they were shaking as the
hulking figure made it's way into Cliff and Sandy's living room. It
towered in the door frame, making the Cardinal's quarterback look like
a dwarf in comparison. It was deadly silent in the room.
     Suddenly, the hulking thing spoke.
"What in the hell is the matter with you Cliff? I saw a post on Apollo
saying you were having a meeting here and you won't even let me in the
front door! Aren't your old friends welcome here anymore?"
     The creature stepped into the light and all the members gasp at
the same time -- Sandy managed to speak first.
"David Burkhart! Is that you? How can you be here - you've been dead
over a year and we thought ------!"
"Dead? Where in the hell did you get that idea? I've been away at
school in San Diego and have been too busy to post on Apollo for the
last year. As you can see - I'm alive and kicking!"
     All the members came alive at once and surrounded David. He
received many hugs, kisses and pats on the back. Then, they spent a
good part of an hour clueing him in on what's been happening!
 
He sat stunned after hearing the story. "Let me get this straight - you
thought I had died, came back from the grave and killed off all those
people? Have you all went Bananas or something?"

"NO, we haven't went crazy David" said Cliff. "The clues all pointed at
you. We didn't believe it at first, but ........
 
Cliff did not realize that the busted front door was wide open - not
until they smelled something strange and awful. All heads turned
towards the door as a hulking dead thing made it way into the room and
stood in the dimness of the hall light. A deadly, horrible laugh, along
with the smell, permeated the room, making knees shake and teeth
chatter.
 
Suddenly, before anyone could blink, the dead thing made a lunge
towards David and got him by the throat and had him down on the floor,
choking him almost to death before Rod Willians, bravely putting down
his terror, grabbed the hideous creature and wrestled him, finally
getting him off David and on his back. The others stood in their
fright, helpless to do anything but watch.
 
The dead thing was struggling to get up and Rod continued to hold him
firm. He noticed that the creatures skin felt funny - loose sort of and
he started pulling at the face. Grisly dead skin started peeling off in
Rod's hand, revealing a face underneath that was familiar to all of
them! They crowded around the prone figure and couldn't believe their
eyes! Sandy almost screamed - "It's you! It can't be!"

"But it is Sandy!" said Rod. "It's Ann Oudin!" He was in complete shock
at seeing his friend Ann laying on the floor after trying to kill
David.
Rod pulled her up and sat her down on the couch. "Now, you have some
explaining to do Ann"!
"Yes Ann. Tell us why you killed some of the Apollo members and spared
others" questioned Cliff.
 
Ann sat there with an evil smurk on her face and began to explain the
awful deeds she had done!
"I killed JT because he was always calling me names on the board. Him
and his ego are gone for good now. I relished his death and am not
sorry I did it!"
"I understand Ann. I've wanted to kill JT at times too" said Rod, "but
that doesn't explain why you killed Beau and Jim, poor old Ralph,
Jeannie, Nick, Toddy, Digger and most of all, my friend Joe that you
didn't even know at all!"
"Joe was an accident Rod. I thought that was Nick sitting there and I
had to go back later and kill him." Ann leered. "That damn Nick thought
he had a better car than my Corvette and deserved to die like he did! I
didn't kill Todd - he comitted suicide because he bought a Tandy EX
computer and was despondent over that -- Jeannie I murdered because I
was jealous - jealous over a new woman member, taking away my lime
light on the boards. Who does she think she is anyway"? Cont.

"And the rest? Go on Ann" said Rod
"I didn't kill Beau Dog and Jim. Some one else did them in. Old fart
Ralph got it because one time when he was visiting me, he told me 'I
was no spring chicken'! I could hardly wait for the day to get even
with the likes of him! And Digger? Oh how I loved it when I murdered
that detestable, filthy minded worm. He made me have many hours of
embarrassment in my life because he created and delivered big penises
to my door step. Skulking around in the dark all the time - never
confessing to his deeds. He made me the laughing stock of Apollo - me,
the pure and innocent one that never thought of a penis in her life!"
 
Ann looked up at David -- "And you David - you were going to die the
most horrible! You have called me names like 'silly' and the like so
many times I can't count. You and JT ganging up on me!"
Ann's face got very red and she made another lunge at David, but Rod
stopped her quick and shoved her back down on the couch.
"But why have you spared some of us Ann?" ask Rod.
"I spared all that have been good to me - Sandy, Cliff and the rest.
And you Rod! My hero and mentor! You've never called me a name and
respect my ideals and thoughts. You always speak the truth even though

Sandy piped up. "But Ann. Where did you get that costume and that
smell?"
Ann chuckled nastily. "I simply renting the costume at a local store
and as far as the smell - I just didn't bathe for a couple of months!
And Yes - it was me that had David's obituary put in the paper over a
year ago, hoping to throw all of you off the scent and think it was
him. I was planning to go to San Diego soon and kill him too. When I
saw the post on Apollo, I knew he'd show up here and save me a trip.!"
She glared at David again.
 
All stood in stunned silence at hearing this grisly story and all
thinking what to do with Ann now!
 
The night was dank and cold in the old cemetery as what was left of the
members of Apollo BBS stood over a new grave they had just covered up.
Paul said a small prayer, but the others were wondering about what they
had just done. Cliff had thought to bring a tombstone and had etched it
himself. After a few minutes, they began to make their way out of the
gates and into the night. The tombstone sat among the others as the
wind whistled through the trees. A passerby would wonder why an old
tombstone had been pushed aside that said 'David Burkhart' and a new
one in it's place on the same grave. They would read ......
