            Flag burning is a form of protest. The Flag is a SYMBOL of this
    nations freedom.  If they pass an 'Amendment', will we be as free and will
    the Flag (Stars and Stripes) mean as much?  Think about it, then [V]ote.

    [A] I am FOR an 'Amendment' to the Constitution to prevent the desecration
        of the 'Flag' by such things as 'Flag-Burning'.

    [B] I am AGAINST an 'Amendment' to the Constitution to prevent the
        desecration of the 'Flag' (for whatever reason)

    [C] I do not care one way or another... or I have no opinion.

    Date: 06/14/90  Time: 23:51:22

      I have returned Ann's original tapes to Cliff. I still have the selected
    tidbits I copied from them for my own use (including some very interesting
    stuff that was obtained by recovering the deep magnetic imprints of scenes
    which had been erased and recorded over), but I couldn't part with them, or
    even share them with others. I have a much greater respect for Ann now than
    ever before and wouldn't want to do anything that might hurt my chances of
    being included in one of her later tapes.

    have GT's here, but I hadn't thought to discuss it with her yet. She is
    asleep now, so I will have to ask her about it tomorrow and post about it

         I wasn't really commenting on the rightness or wrongness of what
    Buchanan was saying, just pointing out one (of many) contradictions that he
    gets himself into.  Although the death penalty may be taken as an act of
    self defense, Buchanan has promoted it as a form of vengance.  Not "he
    endangers me" but "he deserves to die for what he did."
         Another case of his razor-sharp wit:  He believes that Iran should be
    nuked off the map.  He believes that Oliver North is a great patriot and a
    national hero.  He never mentions that Ollie provided these avowed enemies
    of the US with weapons.  How conveeeeeeeeenient.  Or is he really saying
    that someone who sells weapons to an enemey of the US is a great patriot?

    I vote if it makes a difference to me.  My non-vote is an indication that I
    could care less, but its hard to imagine how.  Another reason might be a
    protest to "loaded" questions, or politically oriented answers.  Finally,
    some times just "NONE OF THE ABOVE" would be the most appropriate answer.

    Is it my imagination, or didn't all US radio stations used to have callsigns
    that started with "K" or "W"???

    Recently I`ve noticed call sign license plates with HAM call signs starting
    with "N".  It used to be, too, that a call sign starting with "X" came from
    Mexico, and with a "C" meant Canada.

    However, the other day I tunes into 640 AM. Used to be KMEO AM, and heard
    them announcing a call sign of COZY.  Not KOZY.  What's going on in the
    radio broadcast world???
