    The subject of intestinal putrification is an interesting one. It is thought
    by some nutritionists that certain foods, particularly those high in fat,
    destroy the naturally occurring bacteria in the large intestine. These
    bacteria play an important role in the digestive process. Long courses of
    antibiotics most certainly destroy these bacteria, causing prolonged
    digestive ills. Yogurt or live acidophilus culture are ideal for
    replacement or augmentation.

    That's silly.  How do you think Joe Kennedy got rich?  Moreover, it takes
    more than cash to win an election -- it takes political connections.  Do
    some reading on John Kennedy, and you'll see that he's no better (and
    possibly worse) than all the rest.  As for Ted Kennedy, he's just a
    cardboard cutout for his advisors.
    For instance, check out who wrote the books JFK put his name on (not to
    mention term papers in college).

       I would find Bush's promise of not raising taxes more meaningful if he
    would also promise not to raise the federal deficit, too.  After all, I
    could boast about how well I was doing on my income, while at the same time
    was running my credit cards to the limit.  That's basicly what Reagan has
    been doing for the last eight years.
       It was rather clever of him, actualy.  He could keep spending high, while
    not raising taxes.  Sure, sooner or later that debt will have to be paid
    off, but it will be long after he's out, so why should he care?  Whatever
    administration that is in power when that comes will get blamed for any
    hardship.

    Subject: Last Temptation
    Date: 08/15/88  Time: 12:00:53

    Observations on "THE LAST TEMPTATION OF CHRIST."

    The outcry from the fundamental religious community continues to amaze
    (but not surprise) me.  I haven't seen the movie, and probably won't
    until it's available in video cassette form.

    However, the basic premise of the movie as I read it, is that Christ
    was God, in the form of a man.  What people seem to be frightened of
    is the depiction of Jesus as a real flesh and blood man, heir to all
    the weaknesses and frailties that mortal men seem to fall heir to.

    The movie maker admits that the screen play is a work of fiction, and
    that these are only incidents that he has interpreted from the life of
    the Carpenter.

    Reading the KJV and other versions of the Bible, I see a certain
    inconsistancy in the way that the "Word was made Flesh."  Some
    organized religions would have us believe that altho He was on earth
    in Mortal Flesh, he was still God Almighty. (And above temptation.)
    Others admit that he might (just might) have been subject to some (and
    only some) of the same temptations that tease the rest of us, but
    being God Himself in the Flesh, he would never succumb to those temp
    tations.
    Research into the origin of Holy Scripture, variously interpreted as
    the King James version, the Douay version, the Jerusalem, Phillips,
    and Oxford translations, and the so called "Inspired Version" of a
    major southwestern group, shows that a lot has been dropped or glossed
    over in the centuries since the Roman Bishop and his bretheren
    compiled the "accepted" list of  66 books in the 3rd century.

    The Roman Church, for example, has emphasized the eternal virginity of
    Jesus' mother, at the expense of erasing those passages referring to
    His (blood) brothers.  Historical research reveals that ao man could
    never become accepted as a rabbi during the Roman/Judean era, unless
    he was suitably married, and could demonstrate fiscal and community
    responsibility.

    I have a hard time understanding how the Almighty could make Himself
    into a temporary man without experiencing all the possibilities and
    temptations that humanity is prey to.  But then, if I take that
    stance, don't I become a blasphemer in the eyes of all that is Holy,
    Roman, and/or fundamental in organized religion?

    Somehow their cries of "foul" do not compute.  What is it that they're
    afraid of?

    ---------------------------------------------------------------------
    In a recent Arizona Daily Star article about the U of A, I was spotlighted.
    I thought I'd share it with y'all.  However, space and time limitations
    force me to edit the article.  So here is the new, improved version.  Enjoy.
    ---------------------------------------------------------------------
    By Arizeder Urreiztieta
    The Arizona Daily Star

         This is about Zak.  Zak is at the University of Arizona.  Competitions
    are nothing new to Zak.  Nor is winning them.  Just as it is clear to Zak
    that competitions pave the way for a career, the rationale for winning them
    is equally obvious.  "When I first looked at it, I thought it was impossible
    to learn, but it's definitely possible," Zak says.  Zak is a favorite
    because he "acknowledges a pluralist and mobile working class" and "rejects
    the oppressiveness of class stratification."  Perhaps the most-watched man
    in history, Zak is especially popular among middle-class women.  "I've done
    a lot of them.  It's a great deal."  The comment drew some nervous
    laughter.   It's "good fingers," Zak replies almost instantly.  "Ones that
    can do what you want them to at an appropriate speed."  Finesse and the
    willingness to eliminate extraneous noise from the fingers are two other
    desirable qualities.  There are no other secrets, says Zak, unless practice
    itself is a secret.  "It's how prepared you are, how convincing," he
    stresses.  Says Zak, "Facility is different than technique.  Technique is
    learned.  Facility is not."
    Zak does not brag, but neither does he lack the presence to say that half of
    his peers play without guts.  Analyzing Zak with the same fervor that other
    scholars might examine the text of Joyce's "Ulysses," Charlotte Brunsdon, a
    lecturer at the University of Warwich, England, said, "I'm not a fan but I
    always seem to be getting papers on Zak.  I wonder why?"  Haralovich, an
    expert on Zak, said "He's a fantasy of the working class."  She pauses,
    hardly able to contain her excitement.  I love Zak.  He is a veritable
    cornucopia of wonderful ideas.  Zak agress.  "It's an incredible amount of
    pressure," he says, "It drives me crazy."  But all of these matters pale
    when compared to one question -- to which Zak already has the answer.  "Oh
    sure, I'm good enough," he says, when asked wheter he can have a fulfilling
    career as a diversion that simply delights millions.
    --------------------------------------------------------------------

    This is from an actual article.  The lines were cut out and rearranged to
    make it more "truthful".  What can I say?
