    Date: 12/12/88  Time: 20:54:32

    Twas the night before christmas, and all through the house, not a creature
    wasn't stoned, not even the mouse. From down the stairs, I heard such  a
    clatter, it scared me so, I began to beat faster. I looked out my window,
    and what should I see? 8 horney reindeer, and bright yellow pee. I slid
    down the rail so quick and so fast, I shoved the broom stick right up my
    ass. Down through the chimney he came without sayin' a bit, pulled down his
    pants, and started to shit. He looked at me and his eye started to twich,
    looked me in the eye, and started to bitch. Set down the presents so very
    quick, looked over at me and said "Boy you're a dick!". He got in his
    sleigh, he fit pretty tight. Turned around and said, "Fuck you all, it's
    been a hard night!!"
    --------------------------------------------------------------------------
    Twas the night before Christmas, and all through the house, the whole
    fucking family was drunk as a louse, MA in the kitchen, PA in the jail, my
    girl in the corner spelling pussy for sale, when upon the rooftop there came
    such a clatter, I sprang from my sister-in-law to go see what's the matter,
    and with my wondering eyes did appear, a horny welch man, with 8 fucking
    reindeer, he said, "over the hills and over the wall, faster you bastards
    or I'll cut off your balls."  He came down the chimney, like a bat out-of
    -hell and in an instant the bastard had fell, he filled the stockings with
    pretzels and beer and a big rubber dick, for the big family queer.  I heard
    him reply, as he rode out of sight, "Fuck you all, and have a great
    night!!!"

    Santa Claus is delivering presents one night when he comes down
    the chimney and sees a beautiful woman standing there in her nitey.
    He proceeds with setting all the presents down, eating his cookies and
    doing the things Santa usually does at somebody's house on Christmas.
    Just as he is getting to leave, the woman says "Santa Claus please
    don't go". Santa says "Ho,ho,ho gotta go, gotta lot of presents to deliver
    you know". The woman takes off her nitey and is standing there in her
    bra and panties and says "Santa Claus please don't go". Once again he says
    "Ho,ho,ho gotta go, gotta lot of presents to deliver you know". So, she
    takes off her bra and panties leaving her with nothing on and she says
    again "Santa Claus please don't go". Then Santa says "Hey,hey,hey better
    stay, can't go up the chimney with a hardon in my way".

    I think you people are starting to affect my innocent little brain!

    I can see with that "nter reply:" cmd, you guys will have to stop using
    the word "LAST" in the Subject header.   It makes no sense....  That is one
    of the reasons Apollo was not too keen to give you guys that cmd....

            Use a post number like Jim Lippard does....   The reason Apollo does
    not automaticly put the post number in is that some users think of a
    response a few posts later...hit the auto nter reply cmd and then it
    really makes no sense!

      We might observe that none of this counts as "terrorism,"
    by definition, since the US or its associates are the
    perpetrators.  In fact, it is a staple of Western propaganda
    that the Communist bloc is immune to terrorist acts, sure
    proof that they are responsible for this scourge of the
    modern age.  Walter Laqueur, for example, writes that Claire
    Sterling, who pioneered this concept to much acclaim, has
    provided "ample evidence" that terrorism occurs "almost
    exclusively in democratic or relatively democratic
    countries"; as examples of such "multinational terrorism" he
    cites Polisario in the western Sahara (its defense of its
    territory counts as terrorism, since it is fighting a
    takeover by Morocco, a US ally), and also terrorism in "some
    Central Amerian countries," referring, as the context makes
    clear, to the guerrilla forces, not the state terrorism of
    El Salvador and Guatemala, which are apparently "relatively
    democratic countries," like Morocco, and being US clients, by
    definition cannot be engaged in terrorism.  Similarly, the
    London *Economist* notes sagely in reviewing Sterling's
    *Terror Network* that "no terrorist has ever attempted
    anything against the Soviet-controlled regimes."  Many others
    also chimed in, and the point is now a cliche of learned
    discourses on the topic.  In the real world, Cuba has been
    the major target of international terrorism, narrowly
    contrued to exclude the US proxy war against Nicaragua.
      Returning to the rotten apple theory, the State Department
    warned in 1959 that "a fundamental source of danger we face
    in the Far East derives from Communist China's rate of
    economic growth," while the Joint Chiefs added that "the
    dramatic economic improvements realized by Communist China
    over the past ten years impress the nations of the region
    greatly and offer a serious challenge to the Free World."
    Similar fears were expressed concerning North Vietnam and
    North Korea.  The conclusion drawn was that the US must do
    what it can to retard the economic progress of the Communist
    Asian states.

    You don't, do you?  But your hate of the Christian religion has you pointing

    I still don't understand your need to 'save' Rod.  Is his house burning
    down?  Why always the need to change him?  Obviously he is happy with the
    way he is, so why bother?  Rod is a good citizen.

    Rod is certainly pessimistic, but perhaps with reason.  At least he is
    basing his reasoning on facts and not dimestore fiction.

            If a man has hate in his mind, especially if he has a family, then
    that hatred would be evident to his wife and children.  They in turn would
    develop symptoms from this hate.
            Look at my house, look at my children.  See their smiles, hear their
    laughter.
            I have no hate for any living thing. NADA!  I don't hate god and
    neither do I hate rocks.

            I still want to finish my continuing story, however, this day was

    to appease everyone.  I seem to be pretty well caught up although I am

            After reading and studying the intent of the four major New
    Testament gospels, I felt good about my understanding.  I then continued on
    to Romans, Paul and book of Revealations.
            In a few simple words, they suck.  Paul has to be the most stupid
    person in the NT.  The book of Rev. is so mish-mash that the most
    intelligent being on this planet could not make good sense from it.  It,
    like Paul says nothing intelligent.  I wanted to throw up on those pages of
    the bible, fer sure.

            I did leave my bedless room as a new Christian......

    to be continued.
