It is at any good used 30 bookstore. Sorry, but hte author escapes me at the present. This seems 31 to be a little more up to date than Babylon, which offered some false ray 32 of hope. 33 34 Brandon Cave - I really enjoyed your satire.

"WHO CARES?" became the symbol of their pent up angers 140 and frustration. Almost immediately it was scratched among the 141 graffitti in restrooms from England to Greece. In every 142 language, in every country, it was etched in angry protest of 143 the irrelevancy of the post war world. 144 145 In the early seventies, during the depths of the Watergate 146 morass, the "WHO CARphenomenon hit America. 147 148 It started quietly in the restrooms of colleges in the East. 149 "WHO CARES?" graffitti soon spread to bathrooms all across the 150 nation. It was, of course, most prevalent and fanatic in the 151 toilets of Princeton, Bennington, and Yale. 152 153 In 1986 the movement went electronic. The Cynical nihilism of 154 the "WHO CARES?" cult soon spread to bulletin boards across the 155 nation. The world was bombarded with this message of univeral 156 dispair. 157 158 It began to destroy the moral fabric of our nation. President 159 Reagan attempted to fight the infection with the most effective 160 weapon in his arsonal, humor. Not even his sure thing "There 161 must be a pony in here somewhere" story was enough to turn 162 the tide of cynicism that grasped the hearts of America. 163 164 It has become so bad that people won't even belie 165 President's "Iranian money and the Contra Hero" story. And it 166 is a wonderful story. It has a John Wayne sort of hero, lots 167 of action, and a delightfully imaginative story line. 168 169 But nobody will believe it. All they do is listlessly sit around 170 and ask "WHO CARES?". 171 172 The President is thinking of calling a Press Conference. 173 174 Henderson LaMonte 175 <<:********************************************************:>> 176 << The fundemental tendency of the weak and mediocre >> 177 << of all times, has been to enfeeble the strong and >> 178 << to reduce them to the level of the weak: their >> 179 << chief weapon in this process was the moral principle >> 180 << >> 181 << Frederich Neitzsche >> 182 <<:********************************************************:>> 183 WHO CARES? 184 <><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><> 185 ATTENTION SKATER DUDE: 186 187 HEY MAN, HOW DO YOU TURN ON THE LIGHTS IN ADVENT X-5.

Hungry children stood 212 in the street, wondering if there would ever be a next meal. Parents long dead 213 lay unburied next to the remnants of homesteads. A rusty sky cast eerie long 214 dark shadows from the tomb stones of these lucky enough to die before the 215 embargo. 216 217 Yes, the embargo. This, the third one in ten years. Each time before, broken. 218 Now this, the longest, sees no end save the death of all. Then the embargo 219 would be a useless waste of space power, and the ships responsible would 220 vanish to an uncomprehensible netherworld. 221 222 A lone sliver ship streaks across the sky. Too small and too fast to be 223 intercepted by the big frigates, it descends to the planet's surface near 224 one of the major population centers. The ship 225 lands, gyro-controlled rockets vaporizing broken buildings and human bones 226 below. The outer shell glows pink as a door on the leading edge of the ship 227 opens and a figure peers out. Steps appear from a recess under the hatch, 228 and the figure mounts the steps and moves towards the ground. Setting foot 229 on the charred surface, the figure kneels and through the darkened face 230 plate kisses the ground. The act soils the knees and helmet of the environ 231 suit, but the figure does not seem to notice the stains. 232 233 Walking towards the setting suns, and the more highly constructed buildings 234 of the village, the figure casts long shadows that in moments out-distance 235 the slim shadow of the sliver ship. 236 237 Old eyes follow the progression of the figure. Children aged beyond their 238 years scurry as the stranger approaches the outlying buildings. Mounds of 239 human remains attract the attention of the sliver ship pilot. A glint at 240 the base of the pile reflects setting sunlight in the visor of the suit. 241 The visitor changes direction, heading towards the glinty object. 242 243 Kneeling at the base of the pile of bodies, the visor reflects the tragedy 244 and abject horror of the death of the planet. Months and years of decay 245 fill the atmosphere with the sick smell of death. Cool, purified, refined 246 air courses through the nostrils of a witness to a social plague. 247 248 A gloved hand picks up the shiny metal object. Mollychromite case that 249 never dents or tarnishes. A vanity case. The case is opened, the mirror 250 intact reflects the dark, electronically enhanced visor. Ampules of perfume 251 and coloring ring a powder depository. The contents are in perfect 252 condition. A high quality case protects its contents. 253 254 The stranger closes the case. Neural connectors transmit chemical messages 255 derived from electronic devices. Sounds from behind the stranger cause him 256 to turn in place from the heaping grave and scan the street. 257 258 Children beside and above watch silently as a stranger walks towards another 259 building. Instinct keeps them hidden, for now. 260 261 AFTERWORLDS PART 1 262 by Rex Kephron 263 $$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$ 264 I CARE, REALLY I DO. 265 #################################################################### 266 He shakes his head in silent bemusement, a slight smile lifting the 267 edges of his mouth, followed by a small sigh. The grafity was slightly 268 more heavy than usual. The usual stuff, plus someone who thinks he 269 can change the world by scribling "who cares" all over everything, 270 not even realizing that like the overzelous religous zealots who 271 scrible "trust Jesus" all over anything that presents a reasonably 272 flat surface to write on, most people just ignore it, maybe shake 273 their head and wonder at why someone would deface the beauty of the 274 wall, box, or other surface with such things. In most cases they are 275 expressing their own fears, screaming out to the world what they 276 themselves fear. The "Jesus freak" must scrible on the wall because 277 he doesn't really believe. He doesn't believe because there are those 278 out there who don't believe what he feels he is supposed to believe, 279 so by trying to force the rest of the world to wear his belief structure 280 he mistakenly thinks that he can become secure in his own belief. 281 WHich of course is a mistake. You don't create a belief in something 282 in your own mind by forcing others to believe the way you do. (Most 283 people will ignore you anyway, though some might punch you in the nose 284 if you become to obnoxiuos.) Belief comes from inside, belief is something 285 that you know to be true not because someone else thinks so, but because 286 you know it to be so. If you feel you must convert someone else, you 287 are expressing your own fear in your lack of belief, hopeing 288 that you can prove to yourself that it is true because the other 289 person believes in it as well. That is not belief, it is but a 290 desire to belong, to be right, to be a part of 'the group', and is 291 derived from the fear of not being any of those. Some people join 292 a group to be "in" and have companions (nothing wrong with that if 293 you keep it in perspective) while others try to collect groups 294 about them again so they can be "in". There is nothing wrong with 295 that either. No one is responsible for the actions of any other 296 individual. They are however responsible for their own actions. 297 There is nothing wrong with expressing your belief by putting 298 a bumper sticker on your care, or even spray painting a slogan 299 on the side of your car. It is your property to do with as you 300 please. But when an individual expresses themselves in that maner 301 by defacing anothers property or the public's without permission 302 they have stepped over the line they are now interferring with the 303 rights of another. There is no justification in that act. It is 304 an act of agression. Might is not right. Agression/defense, strong/ 305 weak have nothing to do with right or wrong. Right and wrong are 306 that which is defined by the society as a whole. In the USA right 307 is doing what you want as long as it does not impead upon others 308 rights. Wrong is to impead those rights. That holds true for every 309 indivdual in the country. Including the president. Unless society 310 has given another the expressed right to impead a specific right, 311 they do not have the legal nor the moral right to do so, and are 312 subject to the penalties as defined by the laws of that society. 313 ######################### The Innkeeper ############################### 314 ************************************************************* 315 SKATER DUDE - Wow man, I'm still really impress with how 316 cool you are.

I must however, disagree with a small part of it. To wit- 495 'Right and Wrong is that which society has determined ...' 496 I think that right and wrong have some absolutes, although I do not know what 497 they might be. 498 As an example, I offer you slavery. 200 years ago, society in the southern 499 United States determined that slavery was right. Now we have determined 500 that it is wrong. Are right and wrong imutable, or are they whimsical ? 501 Maybe truth is not changeable. I am not sure what the answers are, and this 502 seems to no longer be the forum to discuss it. Sigh. 503 I do agree with your premise of violation of others rights. 504 How do you feel about awarding $$$$ to people because they jerked their 505 kids out of school because they didn't like some books ? I find that to 506 be one of the more ludicrous items going on to day, and potentialy much more 507 dangerous than secret arms deals. My feelings on books are that knowledge in 508 books can not harm anyone who has a basis of self to fall back on. 509 Sorry this seems a little disjointed, but the preceeding 350 lines rather 510 stunned me. 511 512 SKATER DUDE - No, I am not that Friar.

Well, 546 what if they had happened to spray on bad words, cussing everything and one out? 547 That is a violationg of other peoples rights to have to see trash like that. Or if 548 that certian someone placed a HUGE speaker system up on top of their car and played 549 this Death Metal crapola while driving in a residential area. Is'nt that a violation 550 of rights? Well, same with the WHO CARES? As long as no one takes it too far, I 551 see it as a tension breaker.

The entire Who Cares thing has been overdone. It is 575 too annoying to see every thirty lines, and it is too cruel to practically 576 ruin someone else's entry. I like the German Existentialismic ideas on here. 577 Good parody. Incisive style. Sharp references to German supremicist thought 578 and hatred for the idealist. 579 But its a really nasty thing to do to some people's entries, and 580 to waste so much time and effort on the annoying markers. 581 582 vvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvv 583 WHO CARES? 584 585 ...BUT ON TO OTHER SUBJECTS AT HAND... 586 FELLOW DUDES (AND DUDETTES) I WANT TO TELL YOU A STORY. 587 588 BACK WHEN I WAS PREPUBESCENT (9 MONTHS AGO) I WAS SHOWING 589 MY TALENT ON THE ICE (THUS, MY NAME).

This is what I return to Portland for? 622 I'm tempted to return to Tacoma, wasteland of america. At least it 623 has not progressed too far. Santa: I just want to say the coal was not very 624 funny. Yes, last year I REALLY did get coal in my stocking. It was quite 625 upsetting to say the least. I hope there will be more discussion on the 626 nuclear war issue (or any war issue). I really don't have anything to add on 627 it at this time, but I enjoy the entries just the same. 628 Well, we'll see what happens to this board now............ 629 Fast Fred, BSAL (Ret.) @@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@ I have returned!!! TOTAL NUMBER OF LINES = 629
