    Think of it, though...  the entire world is like one big bulletin board
    system, and God is the ultimate System Operator, with one heck of a "Zap,

    Is he on the Christian board? Or is that only for worshippers?

    Shouldn't he be CONFINED to that board?

    Should I run off and join the circus? I auditioned for the Ringling Brothers
    Clown College today. I went down just to watch, but decided to do it just
    for fun. I haven't filled out an application.

    Yes, it does cost money to go to clown college. 10 weeks of school 6 or 7
    days a week, not much time to one's self. NO WAY to support oneself while
    down there... it is in Venice, Florida, and they are holding it early this
    year. August/Sept/Oct -- blecch.

    Nothing is scary enough to keep  Mecham in office.
    He griped that the recall people had never given him a reason
    why he was so bad, so they came up with a 12 page list to deliver
    to him at his office today.
    He decided not to be there to recieve it.
    Isn't that a bit juvinile????

    I really don't see where the Visa debit card resembles the "national ledger"
    system you described. It is simply an optional, convenience-oriented service
    which debits directly to your checking account when purchasing from
    merchants who accept Visa. It replaces writing a check, and prevents
    you from falling into the trap of revolving payments and excessive finance
    charges.

    Subject: Ev & Shippy
    Date: 07/09/87  Time: 06:10:20

      The reason Shippy's past has become an issue is because Ev (and Shippy)
    have made a big deal over how Ed Buck is homosexual, and that all supporters
    of the recall movement are "homosexuals and dissident Democrats."  In
    debates on KFYI radio, Shippy has decried Ed's "lack of morals."  Huh.
    Somehow, I see child-molesting being somewhat more immoral than
    homosexuality.
      Further, Ed Buck has known about this since January, (Shippy has admitted
    this) and DID NOT BRING IT UP ONCE, DESPITE SHIPPY'S ATTACKS ON BUCK'S
    HOMOSEXUALITY.  Now which is more moral?  Buck has *always* stuck to the
    issues (the King holiday, lost convention business, bad appointments,
    fumbling the supercollider project), while Mecham and his supporters have to
    resort to personal attacks.

      All the people that don't support the Contras, think North is lying.

    Date: 07/09/87  Time: 10:07:57

    Did anyone see in the paper this morning about the guy who had the winning
    $20,000 lottery ticket but didn't get it? Seems a Circle K clerk made an
    error giving him a ticket that had the word "Void" on it. (he opened the
    lottery board before it was time. ) That poor sucker couldn't read English
    and now he's out all that money. The damn clerk  could read English
    though and I think the store should be liable to make up to that man at
    least part of it and the state the other part. OF course Circle K takes no
    responsibility and the state say "the law is the law"! IF the man takes it
    to court he could possiblly win - but he'd probably end up owing the lawyer
    after it was all over with. The man who had the ticket was really poor too.
    Why can't this state show it has a heart and give the money to the man. ?
    This incident has never happened before and probablly never will again.

    My brother DID met Ev in person.  Didn't change his mind.  In fact
    the meeting made my brother's feelings even stronger.
    I didn't think that Shippy was working for by Ev but started his own
    club at Mcclintock High School.

    You wanted your stats. to suggest that all women DO get equal
    pay (.89) but my points were saying that your stat only works until
    females are married, which for most people is after 23 and the jobs
    men and women have then are only low paying, minimum wage ones.
    Your stat does not include most women after the age of 23(since they
    are married) therefore, the stat leaves out a big majority of women.

    And just because you think that all feminist do not like men does
    not mean that our society believes this to be true, or that it is a fact.

    NO D/L's.  We're a pure BBS system...(Bulletin Board...!)  We're 300bps
    right now, but we are going 1200 in about 2 weeks.

    We've been online 1 month as of today, and over 650 messages have traded
    hands (not including e-mail) and we've had over 450 callers.  It runs the
    speed of light, and if you didn't know it was run on a measly Commodore 128,
    you'd swear it was an IBM system.

    So come and see what a Commodore is REALLY capable of, and don't knock it
    until you do...because I'm out to change Commodore's reputation in BBSsing.

    ...
      But we may be better at (the sense of smell) than we
    think.  An average man can detect just a few molecules of
    butyl mercaptan, and most of us can sense the presence of
    musk in vanishingly small amounts.  Steroids are marvelously
    odorous, emitting varieties of musky, sexy smells.  Women
    are acutely aware of the odor of a synthetic steroid named
    exaltolide, which most men are unable to detect.  All of us
    are able to smell ants, for which the great word pismire was
    originally coined.
      There may even be odorants that fire off receptors in our
    olfactory epithelia without our being conscious of smell,
    including signals exchanged involuntarily between human
    beings.  Wiener has proposed, on intuitive grounds, that
    defects and misinterpretations in such a communication
    system may be an unexplored territory for psychiatry.  The
    schizophrenic, he suggests, may have his problems with
    identity and reality because of flawed perceptions of his
    own or others' signals.  And, indeed, there may be something
    wrong with the apparatus in schizophrenics; they have, it is
    said, an unfamiliar odor, recently attributed to
    trans-3-methyl-hexanoic acid, in their sweat.

      Many have noted the unique atmosphere within BBS
    communications.  This may be related to the absence of
    pheromones in the media.

    I've had a Visa Debit Card for 7 years or so. As far as my accounting is
    concerned, it is just like a check. As far as the store is concerned, it is
    a credit card. No ID hassles, just the

    Yea, I'm pretty mad too, and that is another good reason to avoid  that
    organization.
      My first reason was Circle K does not have Pepsi as a fountain drink, only
    Coke, whereas Seven-Eleven has both Coke & Pepsi.
      Just because Coke owns a piece of Circle K is still no reason not to serve
    Pepsi.
      I am going to write them a letter soon, been planning one but with this
    lottery deal, I'm mad and so is my wife....what a rip.
