The C.I.A. is for covert action, the A.C.L.U. is 191 for civil liberty. The C.I.A. is in the disinformation business, the A.C.L.U. 192 is in the freedom of information business. The C.I.A. is involved in the 193 manipulation of the democratic process, the A.C.L.U. is dedicated to 194 protecting the democratic process. The C.I.A.'s mission requires deception, 195 the A.C.L.U.'s mission requires revelation. The C.I.A. believes that the ends 196 justify the means, the A.C.L.U. believes that the means can't be disentangled 197 from the ends. The C.I.A. takes it as its duty to subvert alien ideologies, 198 the A.C.L.U. argues for the right to hear them. The C.I.A. plays the 199 assassination game, the A.C.L.U. opposes the death penalty on principle. The 200 C.I.A. finds the Bill of Rights an inconvenience, the A.C.L.U. regards it as 201 inviolate. 202 203 Even those sympathetic to the A.C.L.U. may be reluctant to frame a 204 campaign in these terms because the union, after all, has only 250,000 205 members. To these faint hearts we say, How many members/employees does the 206 C.I.A. have? The answer is that it's a secret, and that, after all, is the 207 point. 208 209 Editorial, October 31, 1988 "The Nation" 210 211 696969696969696969 212 213 019=Usr:635 Bryce Tomlinson 11/01/88 00:30 Msg:2564 Call:10005798 Lines:38 214 =;=;=;=;=;=;=;=;=;=;=;=;=;=;=;=;=;=;=; 215 Quicksilver 216 =;=;=;=;=;=;=;=;=;=;=;=;=;=;=;=;=;=;=; 217 Yeah, what he said. 218 219 I truly beleive that the people who make the ballots up should put in an 220 option to vote someone OUT of office, rather than an unwanted candidate IN just 221 to get the OTHER unwanted candidate OUT.

All he wanted now was a good bed to lie on. But in fear 231 that the ConTroller might catch him in his sleep, he fought the urge away. He 232 popped a couple of caffeine tabs, and kept going. 233 Soon, though, the weary traveler was dozing off while he walked. So he 234 gave up the fight, and leaned against a wall, rolling up his pack to make a 235 nice fluffy pillow. "What do you think you're doing?" asked a voice from 236 behind Dave's trail. 237 "Do you think you can just curl up in a cute little ball and go to sleep 238 just anywhere you want?" the voice demanded... "Wha?" asked Dave, being as 239 distinguished as he could in his current state. He turned his tired neck around 240 so that he could see back down the corridor, and there stood a large, armoured 241 creature, with a large fluffy mustache, and thin greyish fur covering its face 242 and extremities. "Wha," he asked again, trying to sound violent. 243 "Ok, get up... You're not in any condition to talk, so just get up..." said 244 the furry creature. "How long," asked Dave, "have you been following me?" The 245 furry creature wiggled its nose and said, "Oh, 'bout 8 hours or so... Been 246 tryin' to stay outa sight 'till ya nodded off. You know, easier the catch." 247 Dave had to ponder this for a moment. He hadn't seen anything since the battle 248 with the ConTroller's trick wall, so he wondered if this was another one... 249 He yawned loudly, and then posted the classic interrogative, "What's yer name?" 250 251 =;=;=;=;=;=;=;=;=;=;=;=;=;=;=;=;=;=; 020=Usr:71 David Shult 11/01/88 00:48 Msg:2565 Call:10005799 Lines:93 252 #13 29 Oct 88 00:02:39 [1] 253 From: Eugene Glover 254 To: All 255 Subj: Trek: The Next Generation Season 2 256 257 The Child 258 259 Episode #127 uplink dates: 11/19/88, 11/20/88 260 261 262 Cast 263 264 Captain Jean-Luc Picard Patrick Stewart 265 Commander William Riker Jonathan Frakes 266 Lieutenant Geordi La Forge Le Var Burton 267 Lt.

But when Troi gives birth to a boy named Ian, 316 he appears to be completely harmless -- although he amazes his mother and the 317 crew when he grows from an infant to an eight-year old child in one day. 318 319 Meanwhile, Wesley reluctantly prepares to leave the Enterprise and join his 320 mother, who has departed to become head of Starfleet Medical. Full of mixed 321 emotions, Wesley decides to stay with the ship after receiving encouragement 322 from a new crew member named Guinan. Later, when Wesley discusses his plans 323 with Picard, the Captain agrees to let the young ensign remain as long as his 324 mother permits it. 325 326 However, a sudden crisis with the plasma plague puts everyone's future in 327 doubt. It seems that a contaminated specimen of the hazardous strain has 328 inexplicably begun to grow on the cargo deck due to radiation from an 329 unknown source on board. Dr. Pulaski reports that, at its current growth rate, 330 the plague could wipe out the ship's entire population within two hours. 331 332 333 334 Unknown to all, Ian is the source of the radiation, and when he realizes this, 335 the remarkable child decides to sactifice his life to save the crew. 336 337 As a heartbroken Troi looks on, Ian dies and his body reverts to its original 338 state -- a glowing white life-force entity, which tells Troi that Ian had come 339 to her to learn more about humans by experiencing life among them. Once the 340 entity leaves the ship, the threat is averted and the crew continues their 341 humanitarian mission. 342 --- 343 * Origin: ORAC/2400 (602) 246-6533 Phoenix, Az (Opus 1:114/12) 344 021=Usr:71 David Shult 11/01/88 05:19 Msg:2566 Call:10005803 Lines:47 345 696969696969 346 QUAYLE ON DEFENSIVE DOWN TO THE WIRE 347 348 WASHINGTON - Dan Quayle's vice presidential campaign has been haunted by 349 his past, doubts about his qualifications and the perception he has led an easy 350 life in which the truly tough problems were solved by mom and dad. 351 Controversy marred his elevation from relative obscurity to the national 352 spotlight as George Bush's running mate. And it stymied his attempt to show the 353 country he was more than "just a pretty face." 354 The notion that the Indiana senator was born with the proverbial silver 355 spoon, never having to struggle for money or power, is borne out by his past. 356 As Quayle once told an interviewer, "Life has been very good to me. I never 357 had to worry about where I was going to go." 358 Quayle, 41, has constantly had to defend himself against charges he is 359 unqualified to be a heartbeat away from the presidency. In response, he touts 360 his chief accomplishments in 12 years in Congress: co-authorship of a job 361 training act and detailed work on the Intermediate-range Nuclear Forces Treaty 362 and other arms-control issues. 363 Before his Oct. 5 debate with Democratic vice presidential nominee Lloyd 364 Bentsen, Quayle frequently added another point, saying he has about the same 365 legislative experience that John F. Kennedy had when he sought the presidency 366 in 1960. That line was dropped after Bentsen's devastating rebuke: "Senator, 367 you're no Jack Kennedy." 368 Quayle denounced as "side-events" questions about his military service, 369 academic record and personal life, but his campaign has never completely 370 escaped them. Signs reading "Chickenhawk," "Who died in your place, Danny?" 371 and "Sissy Rich Kid" confront him from one state to another. 372 Quayle's grandfather was the conservative, self-made publishing magnate, 373 Eugene Pulliam. In 1955, Quayle and his family moved from his native 374 Indianapolis to Phoenix, where his father, James, ran Pulliam newspapers and 375 joined the John Birch Society. The Quayles returned to Indiana in 1963 and his 376 father became publisher - and young Dan eventually became associate publisher - 377 of The Huntington Herald-Press. 378 His performance at DePauw University was average. Graduating in 1969 during 379 the Vietnam War, Quayle would have been eligible for the draft but instead 380 sought admission to the National Guard. He explained to reporters that he did 381 "what any normal person would do ... call home to mother and father and say, 382 `I'd like to get in the National Guard."' 383 One of Congress' more ardent hawks, Quayle insists he wasn't trying to dodge 384 the draft - just to be able to attend law school - and that no undue pressure 385 was applied to get him into the Guard. But a retired major general acknowledged 386 that he asked that a space be held for Quayle after a retired Guard commander - 387 a Pulliam employee - called to recommend him. 388 The future politician also had to do some explaining about how he managed to 389 get into Indiana University School of Law when his grades clearly were lacking. 390 --Associated Press 391 696969696969696969 022=Usr:599 rich sichel 11/01/88 09:17 Msg:2567 Call:10005804 Lines:20 392 rsrsrsrsrsrsrsrsrsrsrsrsrsrsrsrsrsrsrsrsrsrsrsrsrsrsrs232 393 Lloyd Bentsen, the living dead may be right: 394 Quayle is : 395 NO JFK (cassanova) 396 397 NO LBJ/FDR (war crazy prez) 398 399 kNO nothing CARTER either! 400 401 Quayle didn't go to 'NAM either unlike Dukakis/Bentsen cohorts 402 Hanoi Jane Fonda and Tom Hayden! 403 Sooooo - What else is new?

Accusing them and then saying that you are without flaw is another. 445 With that last sentence, the immaturity of the Dukakis attack message 446 shines like a thermonuclear blast. If the candidate you back (I would 447 presume Bush for the moment) is so superior, then why fear the other 448 candidate winning the election? By logical choice, that candidate that 449 you would vote for would win in a landslide election. This and other 450 problems glare out at me. I'm personally tired of seeing fanatics 451 bash away at what little is left to human life. I apply this both to 452 the so-called "Left" and "Right" extremities; both seem a little 453 half-assed in their concepts anyway.

You migt 455 learn something - like how to love, pity, fear, and understand other 456 human beings, who are (more or less) in the same predicament that you 457 are in - that you exist in an environment not of your own chooseing, 458 that others face the same problem, and that you can either work 459 together and share what little there is, or work against each other 460 to gain all that there is.

They found that in order for the "Big Bang" 492 theory to be valid, the "Bang" had to be timed to within 10^35 of a second 493 or the universe would end up collapsing upon itself or simply disintegrating 494 into nothingness. Also for the next second afterwards certain occurances 495 would have to be brought about that could not have been done "naturally". 496 In other words, the universe could not have just "happened" but the 497 evidence suggests it to be created under labratory conditions by some 498 intelligent being. 499 [][][][][][][][][][][][]<><><><><><><><><><><><>[][][][][][][][][][][] 027=Usr:642 georg chroh 11/02/88 15:03 Msg:2572 Call:10005839 Lines:9 500 GGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGgggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggg 501 Another reason to believe bigbang is also a bigsham. 502 I believe in STEADY STATE THEORY - no, it's not having a girlfriend 503 for life.

What's yer name?" 520 "Dave. What are you doing down this far?" he asked. "I'm seeking the 521 ConTroller. As I saw in your confrontation, you've had experience with him as 522 well. When the ConTroller took over the complex, my family was killed as a 523 demonstration of their 'sheer power', or so they called it. I have set out to 524 gain my revenge upon the Controller.

At the botom 562 of the hill stood a sign that read "Life intoxicates". He smiled somewhat 563 sadly at this and started up the hill. 564 565 The only sounds coming from within the building were the low groans and snoring 566 of overindulgence. Not wishing to wake the occupents he sat down on the 567 step and began to meditate. 568 569 The face of the veiled one appeared in his mind. There was a mystery there. His 570 gaining of the orb had shown him that. He sensed that it was not within his 571 powers to gain the answers and so for the time being pushed the face from his 572 mind. 573 574 Next he saw the face of his master. Dead now many years. Though the bound of 575 aprenticship had been brocken long ago he still felt like the aprentice. 576 577 There was one other face, though he could not quite make it out. It was a 578 face that had haunted him for as long as he could remember. And yet it was 579 always indistinct. 580 581 He felt sure that it was the face of a women, but whom it belonged to eluded 582 him. 583 584 There was a sound behind him and he broke from his revarie. Looking back he 585 saw a bleery eyed old man. 586 587 "Damn, somebody stole the paper again. Carl! (yet another alias of the 588 wanderer.) , ouch! I'm getting to old for this. Come in lad, the brothers 589 are just arising for the morning meal." 590 591 "Thank you Ben, It's been a good long time since I've been by, how are things 592 at the monastary?" 593 594 "Oh, not to bad.

Such is not the 694 case. 695 696 The two major parties are two different flavors of vanilla. I can not 697 support either party, nor the candidates they offer to us. They all have 698 serious flaws, in my personal opinion (which I needn't defend here). The 699 fact is that all of us here, I suspect, feel the same way to some degree. 700 701 Other candidates divide the vote, because they tend to stand for one point 702 or special interest group--I don't want a President in office whose only 703 concern is to stop abortn (or lower taxes, or save the whales). Even 704 a laudable goal does not make a President. 705 706 Voting for a bogus candidate or "none of the above" registers ones 707 displeasure with the system and its current choices, but it really does 708 nothing to change it. It seems to me a waste of a vote. 709 710 It is a citizen's duty to vote--if you don't vote, you shouldn't complain 711 about the outcome. The problem is that I'm NOT complaining about any 712 given outcome, I'm complaining about the options. How can I, in good 713 conscience, vote for someone in whom I can not believe?

Like I said in my message in 902 which I expressed these views, it is just my opinion. Which means that Y had 903 no intentions of arguing it, or convincing you of or proving to you the views I 904 have. 905 To put one thing perfectly straight, the NIV version states "In the 906 beginning, God created the heavens and the earth." This might suggest to a 907 beleiver that there was NOTHING before then. Although the earth was formless 908 at the time, and there was no light, before "the beginning", nothing could be 909 more obvious than that statement. the word "CREATE" means "TO MAKE FROM 910 NOTHINW," am I not correct?

One conclusion that derives from 951 his famous equation, E=mc^2, is that matter can be `rodused from energy, 952 just as tremendous energy can be produced from matter. The atomic bomb 953 proved the latter. For this reason, astrophysicist Josip Kleczek stated: 954 "Most and possibly all elementary particles may be created by materializq- 9%5 tion of energy." 956 Hence, there is scientific evidence that a source of limitless energy 957 would have the raw material to create the substance of the universe. The 958 Bible writer Isaiah wrote: "Raise your eyes high up and see. Who has sbeated 959 these things? It is the One who is bringing forth the army of them [stars] 960 even by number, all of whom he calls even by name. Due to the abundance of 961 dynamic _energy_, he also being vigourous in _power_, not one of them is 962 missinw." 8Isaiah 40:26) 963 964 mo 965 ___________________________________________________________________________ 966 059=Usr:84 Michael Miller j 11/12/88 03:29 Msg:2604 Call:10006063 Lines:17 967 &*&*&*&*'s 968 I think if you look at history yoe0wil| find as many white protestants selling 969 out america as you find in any of the other ethnic groups that make up this 970 rather diverse country. 971 972 Which is more important, the interests of the world or the interests of 973 America?
