Nice rebuttal, that. It reminds me of a 390 time in London when I witnessed the Fiftieth Annual Professional Debate 391 Tourney. The winning arguement had the same distinct elegance that your 392 arguement simply oozes; it was "Oh, yeah? Well, you're just stupid. Pinhead." 393 This was by the visiting American team of Dewey, Cheetum, and Howe, the 394 U.S. National Debate champions. 395 That afternoon I returned to the old Inn and witnessed a similiar debate 396 which rapidly escalated to a form of arguement called a "boarder war". As I 397 recall it solved nothing, hurt some feelings, and wasted a lot of disk space. 398 Generally two things happen when more than one person claims a boarder: 1) 399 the person who used it first has rights to it, and the second finds another 400 boarder to replace his/her own. 2) Neither party cares, in which case they 401 both continue using it but mark it in a way that still identifies it as 402 their own. 403 These are not laws, but merely suggestions that have kept peace in the 404 past, perhaps they still apply? 405 +++++++++++++++++++ An Old-Timer +++++++++++++++++++++ 870108204118 +++++++ 052=Usr:1 CISTOP MIKEY 01/09/88 20:45 Msg:1001 Call:6730 Lines:16 406 *********************************************************************** 408 409 Interesting.... 410 Those of you who have been keeping track of the BWII system 411 date and time probably have noticed that it has not been correct 412 for some time.

A barrior, looking for all 479 the world like a solid stone wall obstructed not only the road but appeared to 480 have been built accross the entire meadow. The slight defferance in elevaation 481 hd concealed it until they reached the point of actual ddecent. 482 Fortunatly thair pace had been unhurried and they had seen the obstruction 483 in time.

But then what? 484 One of the dissadvantages of the multi-wagon carrivan in a tactical 485 situation was that it could not be readily turned about in the width of any 486 reasonable roadway.

Someone would have to 490 physicaly lean out the back of the powered wagon, an exposed and vulnerable 491 possition. 492 That was the drill every merchanter carrivan that had made it back from an 493 encounter alive had rehersed to a fine edge. 494 Derath who was both cook and one of the alternate drivers, as soon as 495 speed staarted slackening simultanios with the bell chord having been pulled, 496 knew what was required. To hesitate while the others roused would be to throw 497 away all. 498 Leaning out to pull that pin, he was the first to be lost. Not, however, 499 before spending his lastt to finnish the job. 500 As the carrivan emerged from the trees, so did thair attackers. 501 Small men they were, wearing little more then fantastic spiral patterns of 502 purple die.

No one has weathered the recent stock plunge with 705 out some paper-value damage. And you were very clever for figuring out my 706 name.

By now you've all heard too much about the PMRC - Those 732 Washington Wives who seem intent on turning this country into a facist state. 733 But there's more to tell, and it's important. Have any of you noticed that 734 Albert Gore, the husband of Tipper Gore, the lady who's the head of the PMRC, 735 is now running for President? How do you feel about a guy who seems intent on 736 doing away with Rock-n-Roll sitting in the White House? Kinda makes you hope t 737 that 'ol Gary Hart can keep from getting horny long enough to run. 738 If you don't believe me when I say there's a connection between the PMRC & 739 Albert Gore running for President, just call the PMRC's phone number in 740 Washington, DC. You might be surprised to find the person anwering the phone 741 saying "Gore for President, headquarters." The truth is that Tipper used her 742 crusade against Metal and Rock bands as a springboard for her husband's 743 presidential bid. To me, Rock-n-Roll has always been something more than a tool 744 for politicians to use to attract attention to themselves. 745 One of the things that has me really pissed off is that she (Tipper) used 746 copyrighted material without the different band's permission in her book 747 "Bringing Up Kids In An Rated Society." She never even asked for permission. 748 Luckily for her nobody got steamed enough to sue her. Hopefully she'll come out 749 soon from behind her husband and take on the on going debates head on. She just 750 can't be the totalitarian preacher she want's to be. She's a fundamentalist, 751 just like Oral Roberts and all those other television evangelists who want to 752 save your souls - FOR A PRICE. Hey Tipper, what's YOUR price? 753 Unfortunately, fundamentalists only see life one way - their way. If 754 something doesn't fit into their vary narrow view of right and wrong, they 755 condemn it as wrong. I'm just waiting for the day when Tipper comes out and 756 calls Rock-n-Roll satanic. She's come awful close at times. But maybe she's too 757 smart for that. With her husband running for president, she's probably white 758 washed her opinions, making them seem very safe and positive. But I'm one guy 759 who still thinks that censorship in any form is not only wrong, it's unamerican 760 ! 761 I'm sure by now some of you are wondering what all this has to do with you 762 ? The fact is that it has a lot to do with everyone. If people like Tipper Gore 763 come to power, we can not only kiss off Rock-n-Roll, but a lot of other import- 764 ant things as well. Those people want to ban schoolbooks that discuss evolution 765 . They want to set us back to the Dark Ages. If we sit around and think they 766 can't do it, they may just surprise us. I'm sure that people in Germany, before 767 Hitler cam to power, didn't think a small group of fanatics could do them any 768 damage either. We can't forget the lessons of history - though people like the 769 PMRC would probably prefer we didn't read history books. 770 Some of you may be wondering why I'm bringing all this up now. For a long 771 time I was like everyone else; I heard about the PMRC and just assumed they 772 would go away as soon as Tipper and her friends found something better to do 773 with their time. Now I see the whole sinister plot in action. With Albert Gore 774 now running for president, I realized I couldn't keep quiet any longer - the 775 situation wasn't going to go away. If anything ti was gonna get worse. 776 I realized that if I kept my mouth shut, by the time my band got itself 777 together to go out and start playing some serious gigs, no place in the whole 778 country would book us (or anyone else). They'd be afraid that some Governmental 779 agency would give them a hard time if they dealt with a Rock-n-Roll band. It's 780 still not too late to do something about it, so I'm speaking up, and I hope you 781 do the same. 782 Talos 783 <*><*><*><*><*><*><*><*><*><*><*><*><*><*><*><*><*><*><*><*><*><*><*><*><*><*> 086=Usr:245 Doug King 01/20/88 13:02 Msg:1036 Call:7018 Lines:4 784 785 <<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> 786 Hey Talos, that interesting stuff!

Many people I've 840 talked with have been very surprised to find out what's been happening. 841 842 ALL!, 843 For the sake of information, this anti-rock campaign started when Tipper 844 Gore was passing her Daughter's room and heard her playing WASP's "Animal, .... 845 Like a Beast". How she got the song I don't know. At that time the song wasn't 846 released on any American albums or as a single. But ever since then Metal and 847 WASP in particular (I'm not too fond of the group but I do like a couple of 848 their tunes.) has been a primary target for Tipper and the PMRC. I guess she 849 feels we're (I'm a musician too, so that's why I'm so heavy into this!) 850 corrupting her daughter's morals. Maybe if Tipper really thought about it, she 851 would have realized that her daughter was telling her something - "Even good 852 families like Rock-n-Roll. It's just too bad that Tipper's bible is stuffed so 853 far down in her ears that she couldn't hear what her own daughter was telling 854 her. 855 856 L.B. 857 Theories were made to be broken.

Reducing to 'high concept' is usualy 868 an absurdum. That bit about life being a female canid might be a point of 869 departure for some sort of verbal surrealism but grandois assumptions tend to 870 rattle my cage. How life is perceieved has a lot to do with what one chooses 871 to think of thereof. The only way i can see life as being itself something 872 to find dissapointment in is that it might fail to live up (or down) to some- 873 one's expectations but is that realy a failure of life? or is it more a short- 874 comming of having expectations? you might be amazed how truely much more 875 pleasant it can be without them! off course life is also sort of addictive 876 but thats maybe another question. As is extance. 877 minerals certainly exist. it is aggreed by many they do not live as such. 878 pet rocks or no. it is also quit possible that our awairnesses have an 879 existance quiet seperate aand in no way dependent upon 'life'. 880 *=*=*=*=* 881 might as whell move on tword the end of what is so far written... 882 Bivul leaned back toward thair enimies around one side of the unit, Lojoce 883 the other, both spitting blow darts for all they were worth. Lojoce achieved 884 little resault but Bivul's stings found good effect. 885 By now Cymchal, one of the alternate drivers had arrived squerming through 886 the pass-back, more naked than not. He took the yiller. Bivuul's aim, now 887 freed of the distraction of driving, became truely devistating. From the rear 888 Lamshal, the other hunter, brought his archery to bear, 889 Soon lojoce's flank was in somewhat better order. Only Nelutha the healer 890 remained out of action. This due more from a shortage of positons to fire from 891 than any tradition or reluctance on her part. 892 Cymchal had gotten them turned around and it looked like they were going to 893 be able to win clear when a winged one appeared in the sky, not that anyone was 894 noticing. 895 That was when the motion box broke loose and they where without power. 896 Somehow one of the attacking elandar had managed to insinuate himself among 897 the wagon's undercarrage and Goddess only knows where he could have gotten 898 that wrench, let alone the knowledge to use it. 899 The stunt had almost certainly cost its performer his life. Point was, it 900 would now almost certainly take thair's. 901 *=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=* 902 903 092=Usr:21 Fable Master 01/21/88 14:00 Msg:1042 Call:7040 Lines:9 904 FMFMFMFMFMFMFMFMFMFMFMFMFMFMFMFMFMFMFMFMFMFMFMFMFMFMFMFMFMFMFMFMFM 905 . 906 Greetings Themnax, 907 . 908 Do you know who I am?
