    Subject: Cheating
    Date: 07/02/88  Time: 11:12:47

    I cheated in school, when I hadn't had time to study the night before (or
    day of) the test, or when I just wanted to check my answers that I wasn't
    sure of.
    The classic 'cheating' episode waswhen my class took lab time before our
    management test, and after our accounting class, to write many key
    management lists into the accounting lecture on the board. The teacher never
    noticed, and neither did the people in class before they were told, and
    where to look for key words. It was funny, and sad, because the board only
    helped for 1 question out of 50...

    Then of course there was the cheating in our English class, where everyone
    in the rear corner of the room was exchanging answers.  Actually getting out
    of their seats and looking at each others tests.  This included me, of
    course.  I also remember cheating in Chemistry, when my lab partner and I
    would screw up an experiment and would just get the data from someone else
    (and spend the rest of the hour mixing chemicals together to see what would
    happen).  I do regret the cheating, but as I pointed out to Michelle,
    cheating in High School is much more harmless than in college (mainly
    because you learn very little in High School).

    You've been in a terrible automobile accident.  Just before some very
    serious brain surgery, your doctor informs you that he cheated all the way
    through medical school.  Now, how do you feel about cheating?

    a poetry exam. It dealt with
    poetry only. Now I am not going

    Perhaps a wandering psychopath could intelligently blunder into this
    effulvum and extract some meaning and cause from the last 20 or so
    messages.
    But not I.
    Like the cantankerous ryhming childhood prattle found on so many other
    brainless boards, this SIG appears to be the exhaust pipe, albeit the
    roaring shit-hole for the frustrated steam pipes of moral chorous.
    The attraction and pre-disposition of the participants with male
    genitalia and the description of surrogates appears to dominate over
    genuine reason. `
    Barbaric would be kind in describing your subversive ideals, but in time
    you all could learn to upgrade your torments and triades into something a
    little more colorful than what have seen.
    Go fuck yourselves a little more.

      *1984* is certainly the gloomiest of Orwell's books,
    partly because Orwell was dying.  "I made it more
    pessimistic than I meant to," he told a friend, "probably
    because I was so ill at the time I wrote it."  Even *1984*,
    however, does not make the same mistake of treating the
    drift towards totalitarianism as irresistible.  But if the
    slave empire will not endure, what hope then is there for
    the slaves of Oceania?
      "If there is hope," Winston Smith wrote in his diary, "it
    lies in the proles."
      The prole(tarian)s are not even considered worth
    regimenting beyond a certain degree.  They are merely
    supposed to work, breed and die.  For the most part, the
    state stands secure in the conviction that the proles will
    remain perpetually indifferent.  As he wrote *1984*, Orwell
    was not only dying, but he was dying in the midst of the
    failure of the Socialist government, a failure for which the
    indifference of the working people was largely to blame.  In
    *The Road to Wigan Pier*, Orwell recalled the way the common
    people had been aroused by a swindle in the football pools,
    while they ignored the simultaneous march of the Nazis into
    the Rhineland.  In 1984 as in 1948, "the lottery, with its
    weekly payout of enormous prizes, was the one public event
    to which the proles paid serious attention.  It was probable

    that there were some millions of proles for whom the lottery
    was the principle if not the only reason for remaining alive.
    It was their delight, their folly, their anodyne, their
    intellectual stimulant.  Where the lottery was concerned,
    even people who could barely read and write seemed capable
    of intricate calculations and staggering feats of memory.
    There was a whole tribe of men who made a living simply by
    selling systems, forecasts and lucky amulets ...  The prizes
    were largely imaginary.  Only small sums were actually paid
    out, the winners of the big prizes being non-existent
    persons."

    The Beatles made "Abbey Road."  Millions of kids have drawn pictures for
    their mother and father.  Thousands of scientists have spent their lives
    trying to discover truth.
    But then I guess the Beatles were be paying by the record company, the kids
    wanted the approval of their parents, and the scientists wanted the approval
    of their peers.  Nick is correct, your criterion that it not be selfish is
    silly.  The beauty is the selfishness caused these people to create
    happiness for others.

    The Phoenix Children's Hospital provides care to children with life
    threatening illnesses, much of it free of charge. Many of the greedy
