    My motorcycle trip was very enjoyable, even though I had a flat tire
    (fortunately an overnight leak while parked), had to replace part of the
    alternator ($210 !!), and then had another problem caused by the alternator
    fix - but this was only a misrouted hose that got kinked. Replaced for $5
    labor.  I traveled about 2200 miles, including the round trip to LA where we
    started/ended.

    I didn't take along any music this year (had a portable CD player the last
    two years) and I really didn't miss it. Strange.
    .
    The roads were good/great, and the weather was wonderful. The food, as
    usual, was hard to beat.

    Seems Bush is not as "conservative" as he claims to be. Sources (reliable)
    close to me say that George and Barbara, in celebration of Quayle's
    nomination, invited him over to "celebrate" (read: THREESOME). However,
    Quayle declined, preferring (conservatively) to sit at home and jerk off.
    His reasoning?

    Date: 08/16/88  Time: 05:59:34

    Hebrews 4:15 states, in part, that Christ was in all points tempted like as
    we are, yet without sin.
    The "God made flesh" truth concerning Christ is expounded in the 1st chapter
    of John's Gospel, in which He is referred to as "The Word" who was with God
    from the beginning, and who was God, and who was made flesh and dwelt among
    us.
     As to what we "fear" from the movie, I would say nothing, for, according to
    Paul's letter to Timothy, God has not given us the spirit of fear, but of
    love, power and a sound mind.
     I do not see any real inconsistency with fundamental Christianity and the
    offense taken with a film that portrays the Lord f all glory as a weak,
    wimpy man and a sinner like the rest of us. I do agree with you, however,
    that far too much outcry over the film has been raised, and has caused an
    overkill that has created more interest in the movie than it has anything
    else. I'm sure that Universal will fatten their coffers mightily, thanks to
    the "religious right".

    How about the part about not allowing us sinners to sin the way we want to?
    How does the picketing and trying to close the theaters reconcile with
    the fact that religion flourishes best in a free society, one that allows
    all of us to make our own choices about what we believe and what movies we
    want to see?

    I was also impressed with last nights convention as I was with the

    you to vote for that party. Reagan's been in office for 8 years and never
    gave a speech that good! That got me to wondering - is Reagan running again?
    It sure sounded like it and where was Bush? Is Reagan the 'John the Baptist'
    of Bush? (preparing the way?) He certainly made our economy sound good. I
    just wonder why it is becoming harder and harder to make a living?! Why it

    Last night after the convention, I was flipping the channels and came across
    good 'ole' Jerry Faldwell talking to two other guys - I assumed it was
    supposed to be a two sided debate of sorts and I don't know who the other
    guest was - but Faldwell certain did all the talking - was outright rude and
    so smug and rightious. They were discussing Dukakis, that comic book
    Faldwell's son published, abortion and that movie. This man has no regard
    for anyone's opinion but his and he cannot see where that slanderous comic
    book, passed out at the Rep. convention last night was 'NOT' separating
    church and state! Evidently the comic more than hinted that Dukakis has
    sodomy with beasts! Even he would not deny it. This is a religious man? He
    also torn that movie to threads -- said we need to get back to a Christian
    nation - prayer in schools and no abortions. His opponant pointed out that
    the people voted on these subjects - that's what they want and he sloughed
    it off saying' they did not. By the way - the reason he accused Dukakis of
    sodomy was because he wanted to make it legal saying "he must like it or he
    wouldn't want it"! How people in their right mind can follow a person like
    this is beyond me. I wished I could have seen all of that program - it was

    The figures are in for the first weekend's showings of "The Last Temptation
    of Christ".  The film grossed over $400,000 in nine theatres, for a
    per-screen average of over $44,000.  For comparison, the previous weekend's
    top film, "Cocktail", had a per-screen average of about $5,700.  TLToC has

      Everywhere people like you are blaming Reagan for spending he would have
    prevented if he had been given the line item veto. Congress authorizes
    spending and then bundles it all together so that it can not be trimmed
    without shutting down the whole government. Reagan`s policies increased
    revenue while lowering taxes and stimulating the economy. This would have
    brought the budget into balance if Congress hadn't spent an extra $1.50
    for every dollar of new revenue that came in. Put the blame where it belongs
    and you will see that without Reagan's policies of the past seven years we
    would have been much worse off than we are now. The job that remains to be
    done is to cut spending and bring back sound money. You will never hear the
    Democrats planning to do anything of the sort.

    Note..... The category is entertainment, not religion:

    My problem with the movie and the protestors is that someone out there
    wants to take away my choice to see whatever movie I want to.  Jeannie,
    I like your attitude.

    I will got to a church of my choice to listen to sermons and learn about
    my faith.

    I don't expect to tell anyone what church to go to, if any, or what to
    believe or disbelieve.  Nor do I xpect that anyone should be able to
    affect my choices in the matter.

    By the same reasoning, I don't tell any one what movies to see or stay
    away from, nor do I expect anyone else to dictate to me about my choices
    of entertainment.

    I'll see the movie when it comes to town or is issued in video cassette,
    just as I wish or not, and I'll oppose any group, private or governmental,
    that tries to shut down the theaters or video stores so that I don't have
    that choice.

    Love,

    I agree, what if we were to arrange a demonstration/picket outside of a
    church, because religion has adversely affected the lives of some people?
    Like people who have killed others because they claim that God told them to?
    Could you imagine the stink that would be made about trampling on freedoms?

    Anyhow, I've heard some of the people who have seen the movie say that the
    film re-affirmed their faith. If nothing else, the movie is making a lot of
    people that haven't thought about God in a while, start doing so. Are the
    picketers against an increased awareness in their Lord and Saviour?

    But JT did say it would be a conservative, and Quayle certainly is.
    So is it a good choice?  Well, Bush missed a perfect chance to move more
    toward the center -- thank God.  There's no question Quayle would be a good
    VP.  Whether he'll bring in more votes is hard to say (Indiana will go
    Republican anyway).  But he won't lose any.
    But Bush-Quayle sounds more like something you hunt than something you vote

      How dare you waste resources and time calling this BBS when you could be
    working for the poor! Do you own a computer while others on welfare don't
    even have a calculator? You should devote yourself to finding new ways to
    spread everything you have evenly amid those who have nothing until you are

    The answer to your question is simple, Jeannie.
    The same society that allow you the right to see what you want to see also
    allows the religious people who may be offended by a movie to picket the
    theater in a peaceful manner.
     Such picketing is informational, or an expression of opinion. You are not
    prohibited from crossing the picket line to gain access to the theater.

    Deanna -

    I love your cute little rebellious ways.  It's darling the way you reverse
    your capital letters and speak so eloquently against the terrible capital-
    istic system.  I'm sure that all of your dear little underpriviledged
    sisters and brothers appreciate having such a mature spokesperson standing
    up for them.

    One question - do you share the nice allowance that Mommy and Daddy give you
    with all your poor little underpriviledged friends?  Or do you "waste" it
    buying "things" for yourself?  (Clothing, recordings, gas for the cute
    little car that Daddy bought you?)

    Sorry, sweetie, I don't mean to get catty, but when I hear rhetoric like
    that I visualize some overpriviledged teenager living off of hand-outs
    from indulgent parents.  It reminds me of the oxymoron "Wealthy Socialist."

    See Y'aa all!

    Republicans that want less Government on the local level.  You say how you
    want YOUNG blood.... well, here is Quayle and right away you reject him
    without even spending a few days to research his record.  The reference to
    Robert Redford was brought about by the MEDIA in his 1980 Senate campaign,
    and is a joke (humor Ann) and not to be taken serious.
         Have you noticed the Republicans are not afraid to speak up about their
    ideals on Prayer, Pledge to the Flag and other things.  Did you catch the
    scam of the Democratic convention that they should keep quiet on the tax
    issues, gun issues.  In fact, just what did they talk about! Not a damn
    thing!
         The speech by Reagan was not full of lies as one kindly person put it.
    Seems he forgets about double digit inflation that happened under Peanut
    Breath.  Inflation that has hurt us badly and its effects are felt today in
    high prices.  But with Reagan we have; High employment today, FACT! A slow
    inflation rate today, FACT!
         I did not say Reagan never made mistakes... BUT, we all make mistakes
    and spread over 8 years, his record is not bad at all.  After all Presidents
    are human too, even though they fall just under SYSOPs in lack of flaws!
         Lighten up, weigh the facts, and (here is the hard part) THINK!

       Dukakis claims he will help Americans.  That he will help families to
    care for their young children.  The price tag on his program is the same as
    George Bush's.  But Dukakis, in classic New Deal style, plans to help by
    establishing a new bureaucracy -- a quick glance at what he's done in (or
    TO) Massachusetts demonstrates this clearly.  By the time young mothers
    fight their way through the inevitable forms and red tape, their kids won't
    need day care, they'll need tuition for college.  This is true of all of the
    gifts the Governor of Taxachusetts promises -- not real solutions, unless
    you're a bureaucrat in need of a high-paying job.
       Michael Dukakis said this election is about competence, not ideology.
    But it really is about both.  Dukakis is clearly a liberal, though he
    doesn't want to admit it, and his management in Massachusetts has been far
    from the success he claims.  George Bush brings both, however.  He brings
    the tested and powerful ideas of the Reagan Revolution, and he brings a
    tested and powerful competence as a businessman, an administrator, and a
    courageous leader.
       In 1984, the Republicans told us that it was morning in America.  The
    Democrats tell us that it is now night.  But it is really high noon.  This
    election is possibly the most important since the Second World War, and it
    will determine America's course well into the next century.  The next
    President will face a Soviet Union which will be changing internally, in
    some direction, and will have a changing relationship with America.  He will
    appoint at least one, and possibly as many as four, Justices to the Supreme
    Court during his four or eight years -- and they will be deciding whether it

    it is the victims or the criminals who deserve the most legal protection.
    He will deal with the new social problems of the baby boomers, and, if he
    has foresight, with how we expect to pay Social Security to all of them in
    the next century.  The education of their children also must be high on the
    agenda, and whether that education will be of high quality, and whether it
    will include values basic to a free society.  He will deal with a changing
    Europe, moving toward a truly common market, and with an Pacific Basin
    weathering the full spectrum of growing pains -- from Vietnam, still part of
    the third world, to Japan which is showing signs of decline in relative
    economic power in the region.  He'll also have the older problem: a world
    where the majority of the people do not live in freedom, and he must decide
    how (and whether) to help them to reach that freedom, while protecting our
    freedom at home.
       On top of all of that, he will face an economy which is in the awkward
    position of being TOO good, and is in danger of overheating and becoming
    inflationary.  Moreover, somewhere out there lurks the business cycle, which
    means we will probably have a recession during the next four years.  How
    severe and how long-lived that recession is depends greatly on the ability
    of the man in the Oval Office, and those whom he appoints  (personally, I
    would feel much better with someone in there whose education is in
    economics, rather than government and law.)  He will confront all of these
    problems, and our decision is whether we want those problems faced by
    someone continuing, expanding and improving on Ronald Reagan's policies, or
    returning us to the malaise of Jimmy Carter-style liberalism.

          Deanna, if you want to know why there are so many struggling,
    working class people, then look to the military governments of the
    world.  The U.S. alone, spends trillions of dollars on state-of-the-
    art weaponry and much of it doesn't even perform properly.  You could
    say that we humans like to do things the easy way and making war is
    relatively easy compared to making peace.  Einstein said, "You cannot
    simultaneously prevent and prepare for war."  Well, we have been
    preparing for it since before I was born and we have spent trillions,
    enough, in fact, to have eliminated all poverty in the world.

          I feel that you are not looking for handouts, just a fair shake
    in this society, as I am.  But when the greedy capitalistic landowners
    and their banks and finance companies get a hold of you, you are
    generally committed for life, until the day you die.  We live in a dog
    eat dog world, a rat race, if you will, there is no denying this.

    Please don't sell your computer or modem because with them you
    can do far more good than getting a few bucks, they wouldn't last a

    that seems to say much in these times.
          If your father fails to meet his house payments because of a

    think this really does not happen or that it is so far removed from
    their daily lives that it doesn't take space in their brain.  Oh
    well.
          As long as we have these out of control war machines, the poor
    will always be with us but if and when we humans come to our senses,
    our problems can literally vanish overnight.

    The idea of driving a car 40 miles is bad enough.  Last time I rode a bike
    40 miles I woke up in the middle of the night screaming with a pain in my
    leg.  WALKING 40 miles?  Ha.

    My Great Aunt lives about 10 miles from Black's beach (I think...), so
    perhaps the next time I visit her, I'll drop by the beach.  I think that the
    reason it was located so far was to keep curiosity seekers and police away.

    Yeah, the cliff was man-made for that purpose.

    Around 10-20% when I was there.  Less, really, if you mean totally nude.
    Number of beautiful babes sighted: 7.
    Number naked or partially naked: 0.
    Number of fat old men sighted: 10.
    Number naked: 8.

    When I was there (last summer during a conference at UCSD) there were
    perhaps 20 people on the whole beach, of which two women were nude.

    That was what the zero number refered to.

    You mean that neither of you (David and Jim) "got crazy" and went nude?
    Wimps!

    I was sunburned enough without having delicate places toasted.
    And though I might have enough nerve to get naked, applying suntan lotion to
    those places could be a little awkward.

    Nonsense.
    I guess I could have asked Mark Adkins if he knew anyone -- he has friends
    out-of-state, you know.

    I thought they made it illegal to sunbathe nude at Black's Beach.
