    Dupone Circle is perfectly safe at night.  Washington is actually quite a
    safe town if you stay out of the ghettos.  Give me a call if you want when
    you're out here.

            The Government is supposed to serve the people, but it seems now that
    the people serve the Government, and the Government is feared by the people.
    I can only agree, it may be time for a revolution.

    babooshkas they seem to have over there, but their Miss Soviet Union blows
    away anything we've had in the national beauty contest scene in at least the
    last decade.

    Subject: More exploitation
    Date: 05/22/89  Time: 08:22:51

    Getting back to the discussion of exploiting women - there's a new one I
    read about in the paper this morning. Seems there's a beauty shop on Central
    called 'Fantasy's' where all the women beauticians wear underware! --
    -- you know, like corsets, bras, garter belts & hose type underware! Of
    course, this is strickly a men's salon. Here are a few quotes from the
    owners Nino & Joe Albanese -----
    "But there are no copies of Playboy or Penthouse. Those skin magazines would
    not be in keeping with the classy atmosphere he wants Fantasy's to have!"
    "The stylists were selected primarily for their styling skills and not
    because they were willing to work in lingerie" (HA!) "These ladies
    definitely do have class!"
    Notice how the word 'class' is used and it was used very often in the
    article. Makes it have a ring of elegance doesn't it? But it is nothing but
    a 'whitewash' word! These women are put there to turn the men on. You can
    get a good haircut all over town and much cheaper than this shop at $25!
    Also noticed the word 'Lingerie'! It gives it a respectable sound.
    Also the idea there are no Playboy mags. etc. laying around. This is more
    respectable than "skin magazines"??? How can any of you not see this as
    exploitation? -=*) ANN (*=-
    P.S. For those of you who do not see this as exploitation and are sick in
    the head, the address of the place is 2813 N. Central Ave. Please walk, do
    not run. You might fall and hurt yourself!

            Geesh, a feminist... People, no matter what their race, color,
    creed, political preference, wealth, etc, are exploited.. Unfortunately,
    some are just more vocal than others. The world is a violent place, and its
    best if one learns to roll with the punches..

            Well, it seems to me that the 40 year old Cold War may be coming to
    an end here shortly. I just hope that the reforms in the Soviet Union, and
    the student protests in China do not backfire. Then things might get mighty
    messy!

    Date: 05/22/89  Time: 13:31:10

            James, we people could revolt against our present politicians with
    out spilling a drop of BLOOD!   If we *ALL* voted Libertarian in the next
    election, it may send a message....
            The problem is, we keep the same people/parties in office even when
    we are not happy with their performance.   Another problem, is that we made
    it only practical for RICH people to run for office, and we all know that
    they are not there for the money, but for the POWER.  Do the rich really
    know what it is like for the low to middle class people to be paying such a
    heavy tax burden?  The only answer they have is to pass more LAWs and to
    raise more taxes to pay for the added confusion.  Just how many more stupid
    laws do we need?
            Answer:  When there are no freedoms left and we are not allowed to
    do ANYTHING....is when they will stop making new laws.

            A better Answer:  Rip it all down and start over again with the
    BASICS! ------> Be a responsible person, Do not Steal, Do not Kill.  To put
    the quality of life back on the shoulders to which it belongs, we the
    people.   NOT the Government!

            Yes, I would like to see some change.... but as long as John Doe has
    his beer and can kick back and watch the Ball Game on TV, we are not going
    to do a thing.... sigh!

    have been checking the major news channels and there hasn't been a word on
    the People's Park sit-in.  I think the government wants, very much, for this
    not to happen.
            Has anyone from the universities heard about any student un-rest,
    recently?
            Sounds like a much needed revolution may be brewing or perhaps I am
    just imagining it.  Must be wishful thinking.  The only type of revolution I
    would support would have to be the non-violent variety.  Bloodshed and I
    just do not get along.       -Rod
