    Ann, when one writes about how they feel, that is called journeling, in some
    circles. This proccess can help you understand how you feel. Once you put
    your feelings into words it usely makes more sense.

     It either makes more sense, or shows you how foolish your position on a
    matter has been. Writing your feelings down can be a two-edgen sword, but
    it's not too bad either way. If you can read your writings more objectively
    than you can edit your spoken words, you can often alter your thoughts or
    opinions.

    You didn't write why you felt the way you did. That is what makes journaling
    a great tool.

    Paul, that is part of the reason that journaling can help you sort out your
    feelings and help you understand why you feel the way you do. But remember
    there is not such thing as a wrong feeling.

    Paul, the feelings were not wrong. Maybe your action or non-action was not
    in your best interest, but your feelings were not wrong. BTW feelings are
    not right either. Right or wrong refers to logic, feelings are emotions.

    thought that those feelings that resulted in unsatisfactory results when
    acted upon were wrong. I still think so, but at least now I know that I am
    at least illogical. Thank goodness!

    There was this black guy who happened to find a genie's bottle, so he opened
    it, and (what else) a genie comes out, and tells him, "I've been in there
    for over 2,000 years, so you shall have ONE wish for releasing me."
      The black guy starts thinking, and says "I wanna be WHITE, TIGHT, and
    OUTTA-SIGHT!"
      The genie promptly turns the black guy into a tampon.

    Moral: Everything in life has strings attached.

    There were these 2 men waiting to see a doctor about a problem both had. One
    had a red penis, the other had a green one. Before either one went in, then
    introduced themselves to each other, shook hands, and wished each other
    luck. Then the one with the red penis went in. About 10 minutes later, he
    came out. He explained that all he needed to do to get rid of the redness
    was to take a bubble bath. Overjoyed at the thought of a simple cure, the
    man with the green penis went in and saw the doctor. The man said, "That
    other guy only has to take a bubble bath to cure his problem. What about
    me?"
       The doctor, after examining it, says, "That penis ain't just GREEN, it's
    got GANGRENE!!! And, it has to be cut off immediately!!!"

     It's a beautiful thought, and I see nothing wrong with it, except for the
    fact that the Navajos I have had contact with sure don't seem to live by it.
     Have you ever gone camping on their reservation? I have, and Hawley Lake,
    Shush-be-tou, and others, including that big bass lake whose name escapes my
    at the moment. It's like camping in a garbage dump! No trash receptacles to
    speak of, the out houses are three (count 'em- 3!) pieces of plywood nailed
    together over a hole, and when the hole fills up, all they do is dig another
    one a few feet away, move the plywood and fill in the old hole. And for all
    that, you have to pay through the nose, over and above the license fees you
    have already paid the state!
    We used to be able to shoot indians for scalping white men. Now they do it
    with our help and blessings!
    Never again for me!
    (Sorry Lloyd. Nothing personal. That's just been my experience every time I
    have visited the reservation, and they get no more chances.)

    Perhaps that's the reason for putting a religious motto of any kind on any

    I have to say that I would rather be reminded of something uplifting than to

    You sure said it right about them not walking in beauty. The Navajos are
    pretty bad about their campgrounds - but the Apaches are very good - up in
    the White mountains. However  - the Apaches themselves leave much to be
    desired. So help me - we lived up there 5 years and saw them daily - NEVER
    once did I see (EVER) one of them smile or even grin. They do not hide their
    hatred for the white man. Most were dead drunk  too. No one in their right
    mind went to Whiteriver either. It's very sad and the government doesn't
    help the situation in the least by doling out money to them. In one
    situation, the gov. went in and built a tract of nice two bedroom houses -
    with in the year the entire area looked like a dump - in some cases, they
    used the houses for their pigs, goats and horses and they lived in some
    type of Hohocum (sp). I'll never understand the Indian. -=*) ANN (*=-

      The larger concern was Japan - the "superdomino" as John
    Dower called it.  Japan, it was recognized, would become
    again the "workshop of Asia," but requires access to raw
    materials and markets.  We must therefore gaurantee Japan
    such access, so that the entire region can be incorporated
    within the Grand Area instead of developing as part of a "new
    order" with Japan as its industrial center, from which the US
    might be excluded; concern over this prospect was a factor in
    the complex interactions that led to the Japanese-American
    war.  But, it was feared, social and economic development in
    Indochina in terms that might be meaningful to the Asian poor
    might cause the rot to spread through Southeast and South
    Asia, leading Japan to associate itself with a bloc of
    nations independent of the Grand Area, or even worse, to
    accommodate to the Soviet bloc.  A 1949 report of the State
    Department Policy Planning Staff urged that Washington should
    "develop the economic interdependence between ((Southeast
    Asia)) as a supplier of raw materials, and Japan, Western
    Europe and India as suppliers of finished goods...," so that
    "the region could begin to fulfill its major function as a
    source of raw materials and a market for Japan and Western
    Europe."  In this context, Vietnam gained a significance as a
    rotten apple that it did not have for American planners on
    its own.
      Such thinking is not original to American planners; similar
    concerns had been evoked, for example, by the American
    revolution.  A few days before the Monroe Doctrine was
    announced, the Czar of Russia warned:
         Too many examples demonstrate that the contagion of
         revolutionary principles is arrested by neither distance
         nor physical obstacles.  It crosses the seas, and often
         appears with all the symptoms of destruction which
         characterize it, in places where not even any direct
         contact, any relation of proximity might give ground for
         apprehension.  France knows with what facility and
         promptitude a revolution can be carried from America to
         Europe.
      Metternich feared that the Monroe Doctrine would "lend new
    strength to the apostles of sedition, and reanimate the
    courage of every conspirator.  If this flood of evil
    doctrines and pernicious examples should extend over the
    whole of America, what would become of our religious and
    political institutions, of the moral force of our
    governments, and of that conservative system which has saved
    Europe from complete dissolution?"  One of the Czar's
    diplomats warned that "we must work to prevent or defer this
    terrible revolution, and above all to save and fortify the
    portion ((of the Christian world)) which may escape the
    contagion and the invasion of vicious principles," namely,
    "the pernicious doctrines of republicanism and popular
    self-rule."

      The contemporary heirs of Metternich and the Czar are
    animated by similar fears, and have even adopted similar
    rhetoric - in Kissinger's case, perhaps with full awareness -
    as the United States took over the role of the Czar in the
    19th century as the defender of "civilization" against the
    yellow dwarves and others whose pretensions threaten the
    "disparity."
      Note incidentally that the US achieved its major objectives
    in Indochina: it is a mistake to describe the Vietnam war
    simply as a US "defeat," as is commonly done, a fact that
    became evident as the war reached its peak of violence in
    the late 1960s.  The devastation of Indochina by US violence
    gaurantees that it will not be a model for anyone for a long
    time to come, if ever.  It will be lucky to survive.  The
    harsh and cruel measures undertaken by the US in the past
    decade are intended to ensure that this partial victory is
    maintained.  Meanwhile, behind the "shield" provided by the
    destruction of South Vietnam, then much of Indochina, the US
    worked to buttress the second line of defense by supporting a
    military coup in Indonesia in 1965 that wiped out hundreds of
    thousands of landless peasants (a development much applauded
    by Western liberals as vindication of the war against
    Vietnam), backing the imposition of a Latin American-style
    terror-and-torture state in the Philippines in 1972, etc.
      A further useful consequence of the attack against South
    Vietnam, Laos and Cambodia was to ensure North Vietnamese
    dominance.  It was clear enough by 1970, if not before, that
    "by employing the vast resources of violence and terror at
    its command" the US might be able to destroy the NLF in South
    Vietnam and independent forces in Laos and Cambodia, thus
    "creat((ing)) a situation in which, indeed, North Vietnam
    will necessarily dominate Indochina, for no other viable
    society will remain."  This predictable consequence of US
    savagery is regularly invoked in retrospective justification
    for it, another ideological victory that would have impressed
    Orwell.  Note that this achievement is a special case of the
    device discussed earlier: when conquest fails, efforts are
    made to encourage assimilation to the Soviet bloc, to justify
    further hostile acts and to limit the danger that
    independence and success will "infect" others.
      Still another notable achievement of US violence was to
    ensure control by the harshest elements, those capable of
    surviving an attack of extraordinary barbarism and
    destructiveness; people whose homes and families are
    destroyed by a cruel invader have a way of becoming angry,
    even brutal, a fate that Westerners profess not to
    comprehend, having effectively suppressed the memory of their
    own behavior under far less onerous circumstances.  Then
    Then their terrible acts can be invoked to justify the attack
    that helped to create this outcome.  With a docile
    intelligentsia and well-behaved ideological institutions,
    Western Agitprop can achieve quite notable results.

    I tried pressing a "Q" when one of Apro's posts came up but nothing
    happened.  So then I pressed a "S" and it skipped right over it.  You don't
    know your Q's from your S's country boy.  Not only that but you ignored my
    previous insult!

    I have a "script" file that begins execution automatically when I connect to
    Apollo, which automatically sends a "Q" as soon as one of Apro Poet's
    messages comes up.  Because of the PC Pursuit delay, I usually see the first
    line or so of the message, so on the rare occasion that he has something
    original to say, I'll back up and read it.  That doesn't happen very often.
    I for one cannot comprehend why anyone would waste his time entering long,
    boring, plagiarized messages that no one is going to read.

    It's amazing what you can get people to post when you have a gun pointed at
    their head.

    As far as dinner is concerned, I'd like to go to the Quilted Giraffe. Its'
    near the corner of 58th street and 5th avenue in New York. It was recently
    given the honor of being the most expensive restaurant in the United
    States.

    I've enjoyed much of what Apro has posted over the years. Generally, what he
    selects for posting here is noteworthy, but on occasion (such as the
    "consciousness" series) he can be a bit long-winded.

    At least he doesn't babble.

    P.S.  I have eaten in New York many times, But I can honestly say I never

    Heck - it's easy to say something nice about Nick. He's good looking and
    sexy in all black. He's a good conversationist on many subjects and he
    always seems to be there - be it here or at a GT. He's funny at times. I
    always look forward to seeing him. However, he has one small fault - he has
    no taste in cars having given up a Corvette several years ago. Outside of
    that, he terrific. -=*) ANN (*=-

            It is nice to know that you do not Hate God. You do appear
    to have a very pessimistic outlook on life and the Bible seems to
    be the reason for all the worlds miseries.

            I would be careful, though, on your shock value techniques ....
    I do not think God would take too kindly to such inSINuations.

            I believe that there are rewards in Heaven. I wonder if there
    is a demerit system in Hell ..... you know ..... the more you practice
    anti-Biblical stuff, the more punishment you will receive in Hell.

            Get real.  This God entity you keep talking about does not exist.
    The entire premise is stupid.  It is illogical, does not compute, makes no
    sense.
            CLIFF, in answer to me remarking about Christians stealing the keys
    from the car lot, I said it because when I apprehended two boys breaking the
    tail light lenses on my van this summer, one of them had a cross on a chain
    around his neck.  I asked him what that was and he replied that he was a
    Christian.  I commented that I believed him.
