    The pollution in Phoenix is much worse than where I live in San Diego.

    You were joking about S. Diego being less polluted than Phoenix right? With
    all the people they have there, it has to be more polluted! They dump raw
    sewage in the ocean at times. Their skidrow is certainly larger and dirtier
    than Phoenix's. And a lot of the crazies come from L.A. all the time. You
    don't have much smog - only because the ocean breeze blows it someplace else
    is all.
    I have heard and read at times that Phoenix is more polluted than L.A. is
    and that simply is not the truth. Even at our worse smog filled days - it
    doesn't come close to one of L.A.'s good days! The last time I was there
    was in 1982 and it hadn't changed for the betten then and I doubt it is now.
    What is the population of San Diego now. I'll bet there are three times as
    many people in that area as Maricopa county all together. =*--ANN--*=

    Hey......everyone.....

    I live in San Diego (when I have to) and it's more polluted than Phoenix.  I
    think we have a smaller population, but the air currents off the ocean drice
    the smog inland.  Also we get all the smoke from cooking fires in Tiajuana.

    If you want to see some smog, go to Mexico City.  My mom's family lives
    there, and the las time we were down there you couldn't see across the
    street.

    Re: your post # 2093 --- but that is the truth now - we don't have to let
    them out - they ARE out and roaming the streets!

    RE: solving our problems - my main advice is - we must get rid of the 'ME
    GENERATION' attitude! It has produced nothing but negativity. Everyone wants
    to be in the lime light all the time. Everyone wants to be just for
    themselves and no one else. The 'ME' attitude hits us at all phases - from
    family to government. On the family level - kids are being raised in an
    invironment where they are on their own most of their lives because both
    parents work - no one wants to stay home and raise them for fear they'll
    miss out on their careers - their life! The marriage ususally doesn't last
    under that kind of stress. Or they didn't get married in the first place not
    wanting to give up their precious freedoms. The kids grow up being just for
    themselves. (Why these people bother to have children is beyond me) On the
    government level - everyone wants the lime light to further their careers.
    They wouldn't give a thought to sticking together be they rep. or Dem. So, I
    think if we got rid of that attitude, it would change things for the better.
    I don't know about anyone else, but I get a lot of happiness doing something
    for others. When I'm selfish, I'm not happy! See you later. =*--ANN--*=

            Yeah, many kids are of the latch-key variety because mommy and daddy
    don't want to get evicted.  The kids grow up with dis-respect for authority
    because they had little supervision by the parents.  The parents are tired
    after a hard days grind and can't answer Bobbies questions.

    white collar and brain tourniquet (tie) boys.  They are the cause of the
    unrest and substandard living conditions.  While they live in the lap of
    luxury, many others truly suffer.  Many spend their entire lives in poverty
    and want while the fat cats eat pork and prime meats.
            Sure, we have a society that is fair just as your name is Tod.

    I have been reading the Arizona Repulsive and Phoenix Gazoo since 1962, and
    have yet to see the type of language to which you stoop used on their pages.
     Since this IS your BBS, I imagine you can say snything you wish onit, but I
    was under the impression that YOU created the COSmos SIG for the purpose of
    spleen venting. If you are now going to open the rest of the BBS to garbage

    is warn us, or maybe the rules don't apply when you've been too long in the
    jug. If that's the case, you have a worse problem, and I'll pray for you in
    that area as well. It might be appropriate to quote another here, who said,
    almost 2000 years ago, "Out of the abundance of the heart the mouth
    speaketh."
    I pray that your heart be filled to overflowing with the joys and the love
    of God. Have a great day.

    Date: 10/07/88  Time: 06:25:30

    I noticed something in the paper yesterday that I don't understand and
    wonder if someone can enlighten me. In March, a group protested in front of
    the federal building - to protest an announcement by Reagan that 3,200 U.S.
    troops were going to be sent to Honduras. They wouldn't leave and were
    arrested for trasspassing. A few will spend a day in jail and fined. My
    questions are: --- how can anyone be arrested for trasspassing at a public
    building? Don't we, as taxpayers, own that building and have a right to
    access? Also, since when was it against the law to protest? Isn't that a
    Constitutional Right? I would appriciate your answers because I don't know
    the law re: this. I just assumed. =*--ANN--*=

    More from Utne Reader ...

    Propaganda in America?  You might scoff at the statement by
    controversial MIT professor and foreign policy critic Noam
    Chomsky that propaganda plays a major role in America's
    political affairs.  Propaganda, you might reply, is far more
    prevalent in a totalitarian system such as the Soviet Union.
    But is that really the case?  Chomsky argues that propaganda
    is more widespread in democratic nations than in
    authoritarian ones, and he cites press coverage of the
    Vietnam war and Nicaragua to back up his assertion.

                  Propaganda, American-style
              by Noam Chomsky - Propaganda Review

    Pointing to the massive amounts of propaganda spewed by
    governments and institutions around the world, observers
    have called our era the age of Orwell.  But the fact is that
    Orwell was a latecomer on the scene.  As early as
    World War I, American historians offered themselves to
    President Woodrow Wilson to carry out a task they called
    "historical engineering," by which they meant designing the
    facts of history so that they would serve state policy.  In
    this instance, U.S. government wanted to silence opposition
    to the war.  This represents a version of Orwell's 1984, even
    before Orwell was writing.
      In 1921 the famous American journalist Walter Lippman said
    that the art of democracy requires what he called the
    "manufacture of consent."  This phrase is an Orwellian
    euphemism for thought control.  The idea is that in a state
    such as the U.S. where the government can't control the
    people by force, it had better control what they think.
      The Soviet Union is at the opposite end of the spectrum
    from us in its domestic freedoms.  It's essentially a country
    run by the bludgeon.  It's very easy to determine what
    propaganda is in the USSR: what the state produces is
    propaganda.
      That's the kind of thing that Orwell described in *1984*
    (not a very good book in my opinion).  *1984* is so popular
    because it's trivial and because it attacks our enemies.  If
    Orwell had dealt with a different problem - ourselves - his
    book wouldn't have been popular.  In fact, it probably
    wouldn't have been published.
      In totalitarian societies where there's a Ministry of
    Truth, propaganda doesn't really try to control your
    thoughts.  It just gives you the party line.  It says,
    "Here's the official doctrine; don't disobey and you won't
    get in trouble.  What you think is not of great importance to
    anyone.  If you get out of line we'll do something to you
    because we have force."
      Democratic societies can't work like that, because the
    state is much more limited in its capacity to control
    behavior by force.  Since the voice of the people is allowed
    to speak out, those in power better control what that voice
    says - in other words, control what people think.

    All the Apollo menbers were so terrified, they were shaking as the
    hulking figure made it's way into Cliff and Sandy's living room. It
    towered in the door frame, making the Cardinal's quarterback look like
    a dwarf in comparison. It was deadly silent in the room.
         Suddenly, the hulking thing spoke.
    "What in the hell is the matter with you Cliff? I saw a post on Apollo
    saying you were having a meeting here and you won't even let me in the
    front door! Aren't your old friends welcome here anymore?"
         The creature stepped into the light and all the members gasp at
    the same time -- Sandy managed to speak first.
    "David Burkhart! Is that you? How can you be here - you've been dead
    over a year and we thought ------!"
    "Dead? Where in the hell did you get that idea? I've been away at
    school in San Diego and have been too busy to post on Apollo for the
    last year. As you can see - I'm alive and kicking!"
         All the members came alive at once and surrounded David. He
    received many hugs, kisses and pats on the back. Then, they spent a
    good part of an hour clueing him in on what's been happening!

    He sat stunned after hearing the story. "Let me get this straight - you
    thought I had died, came back from the grave and killed off all those
    people? Have you all went Bananas or something?"

    "NO, we haven't went crazy David" said Cliff. "The clues all pointed at
    you. We didn't believe it at first, but ........

    Cliff did not realize that the busted front door was wide open - not
    until they smelled something strange and awful. All heads turned
    towards the door as a hulking dead thing made it way into the room and
    stood in the dimness of the hall light. A deadly, horrible laugh, along
    with the smell, permeated the room, making knees shake and teeth
    chatter.

    Suddenly, before anyone could blink, the dead thing made a lunge
    towards David and got him by the throat and had him down on the floor,
    choking him almost to death before Rod Willians, bravely putting down
    his terror, grabbed the hideous creature and wrestled him, finally
    getting him off David and on his back. The others stood in their
    fright, helpless to do anything but watch.

    The dead thing was struggling to get up and Rod continued to hold him
    firm. He noticed that the creatures skin felt funny - loose sort of and
    he started pulling at the face. Grisly dead skin started peeling off in
    Rod's hand, revealing a face underneath that was familiar to all of
    them! They crowded around the prone figure and couldn't believe their
    eyes! Sandy almost screamed - "It's you! It can't be!"

    "But it is Sandy!" said Rod. "It's Ann Oudin!" He was in complete shock
    at seeing his friend Ann laying on the floor after trying to kill
    David.
    Rod pulled her up and sat her down on the couch. "Now, you have some
    explaining to do Ann"!
    "Yes Ann. Tell us why you killed some of the Apollo members and spared
    others" questioned Cliff.

    Ann sat there with an evil smurk on her face and began to explain the
    awful deeds she had done!
    "I killed JT because he was always calling me names on the board. Him
    and his ego are gone for good now. I relished his death and am not
    sorry I did it!"
    "I understand Ann. I've wanted to kill JT at times too" said Rod, "but
    that doesn't explain why you killed Beau and Jim, poor old Ralph,
    Jeannie, Nick, Toddy, Digger and most of all, my friend Joe that you
    didn't even know at all!"
    "Joe was an accident Rod. I thought that was Nick sitting there and I
    had to go back later and kill him." Ann leered. "That damn Nick thought
    he had a better car than my Corvette and deserved to die like he did! I
    didn't kill Todd - he comitted suicide because he bought a Tandy EX
    computer and was despondent over that -- Jeannie I murdered because I
    was jealous - jealous over a new woman member, taking away my lime
    light on the boards. Who does she think she is anyway"? Cont.

    "And the rest? Go on Ann" said Rod
    "I didn't kill Beau Dog and Jim. Some one else did them in. Old fart
    Ralph got it because one time when he was visiting me, he told me 'I
    was no spring chicken'! I could hardly wait for the day to get even
    with the likes of him! And Digger? Oh how I loved it when I murdered
    that detestable, filthy minded worm. He made me have many hours of
    embarrassment in my life because he created and delivered big penises
    to my door step. Skulking around in the dark all the time - never
    confessing to his deeds. He made me the laughing stock of Apollo - me,
    the pure and innocent one that never thought of a penis in her life!"

    Ann looked up at David -- "And you David - you were going to die the
    most horrible! You have called me names like 'silly' and the like so
    many times I can't count. You and JT ganging up on me!"
    Ann's face got very red and she made another lunge at David, but Rod
    stopped her quick and shoved her back down on the couch.
    "But why have you spared some of us Ann?" ask Rod.
    "I spared all that have been good to me - Sandy, Cliff and the rest.
    And you Rod! My hero and mentor! You've never called me a name and
    respect my ideals and thoughts. You always speak the truth even though
    some of them do not understand. Your a modern day savior and they can't
    see it. What fools!"  Cont.

    Sandy piped up. "But Ann. Where did you get that costume and that
    smell?"
    Ann chuckled nastily. "I simply renting the costume at a local store
    and as far as the smell - I just didn't bathe for a couple of months!
    And Yes - it was me that had David's obituary put in the paper over a
    year ago, hoping to throw all of you off the scent and think it was
    him. I was planning to go to San Diego soon and kill him too. When I
    saw the post on Apollo, I knew he'd show up here and save me a trip.!"
    She glared at David again.

    All stood in stunned silence at hearing this grisly story and all
    thinking what to do with Ann now!

    The night was dank and cold in the old cemetery as what was left of the
    members of Apollo BBS stood over a new grave they had just covered up.
    Paul said a small prayer, but the others were wondering about what they
    had just done. Cliff had thought to bring a tombstone and had etched it
    himself. After a few minutes, they began to make their way out of the
    gates and into the night. The tombstone sat among the others as the
    wind whistled through the trees. A passerby would wonder why an old
    tombstone had been pushed aside that said 'David Burkhart' and a new
    one in it's place on the same grave. They would read ......
