    There is an abundance of cheap land available in this country. It's not
    always easily accessible and of course doesn't have provisions for utilities
    or sewers, but some might find that desirable. Why don't you buy some and
    give it away to those who deserve it?

    Well, of course, as a matter of principle, I could always be wrong.  In the
    case of my disagreement with your silliness with regard to physics,
    economics, politics, and virtually everything else, however, it seems highly

      Speak for yourself Trotsky breath! I am not buying a house which was built
    with drug money and I am not a thief. Naming everyone as criminals in order
    to justify a criminal land grab scheme probably makes a lot of sense to
    someone who despises mankind and its works, but it will never fly with
    anyone with an even remotely normal outlook. Try some of that Cosmic
    Intropection crap on yourself and ask why you don't just do as I and Nick
    suggested and get all the undeveloped land you want. What you are advocating
    is nothing but a monstrous theft which can not be justified on any moral
    grounds what so ever.

    Keep in mind, Ann, that it is the "media" who is taking apart the candidates
    "piece by piece" and putting them under a microscope - not the people.

    Unfortunately, our media specialists have degenerated to the point where
    sensationalism is the top priority in any news story.  Fortunately, I am
    confident that most people realize this.

    I sure hope your right about the people realizing that. Supposedly, this
    sort of reporting sells paper's - why else would they do it? The National
    Enquiror is the biggest selling newspaper in the world. I think most people
    that read it, believe every word!
    Have you ever noticed that when there's not too much going on in the world
    and nation, the media is at their worst? They'll jump on something local or
    report on the 'good old reliable Cancer scare'! I remember one time watching
    the news and the reporter said "Your electricity bill will go up 75% in the
    next year!" They left it at that and went into a commercial brake. My heart
    went into my stomach because the bills had just been upped to a record high
    that year and we lived in a place that the heater ran from Sept. to May!
    When they got back on - they repeated that dire prediction and followed with
    ... "If the electric company has it's way!" They went on to say how the
    company was trying to get something passed that they COULD do this if they
    wished! This never happened I might add and was just media hype - trying to
    stir up news where there was none. I was so mad, I called the station and
    complained. I found out later that a lot of people also did. From that time,
    when the media seems to be going in that type of direction, I quit looking
    at the news for awhile. If something is going on like that major hurricane,
    then I watch it or the chemical fire that happened very close to us. Even at
    that, they certainly make it sound much worse than it is. See you.

            The one thing I can see wrong with 'Capitalism' is that your

    APS has a special meter that they will install for customers that use most
    of their power after 10PM. They don't publicize this, but will inform you if
    you call them. We had one installed several months ago, and our utility bill

      It is decidedly worth every penny. Just seeing Rod Williams embarrass
    himself with his political beliefs on the $tatus board is repayment enough
    if you are into that sort of thing. If you should want to be taken seriously
    in debates (don't ask me why you would want to do this) $tatus is almost a
    prerequisite because a non-status user can easily be a bogus mouthpiece for
    someone else.

    "Prince of Darkness" is yet another cheap horror flick.  John Carpenter

    The most amusing part of the movie was how old John made you sit and watch

    "The Art of Conception - Sex Education"
         Wich came first - the chicken or the egg? - The egg or the chicken?
    Four g's meet at five.  Everyone knows that you can't get a chicken without
    an egg.  Everyone knows the egg has to be fertile - a rooster is needed.
    The "E" (in eggg) must be for Egore.  Egore has got one "g".  Then all that
    is needed is another "g" or two, to get an egg.  The "g" that is needed
    must stand for girl - chicken.  Somedimes are needed sometimes and sometimes
    the e and the d get close to eachother.  If they come together, then there
    are extras.  Namely, (ore - left-over from Egore and irl - left over from
    girl) of course the "chicken" part of it they got in common.  So they meet
    with the "chicken" at five.  I (individual or twin chicks) are on the line
    (5).  Not just Egore and the girl "chicken".  Then the girl "chicken" must
    have given an "I" as well as Egore.  Who had none to give? - "EGGI" leaves
    O. rerl - O.RERL....Personally, I believe O. Reality is conception - the
    beginning of a new entity (chicken) on said Planet Earth.  We need to bring
    the two "R's" together to get the BIG "r" - the one that starts the word
    "reality".  "a" I believe comes from an occurance in the continuum of time.
    "l" stands for "Love".  "I" stands for "Identity".  "T" stands for "Truth"
    "Y" stands for the question "WHY".  If you seek the truth - you will find
    the truth.  Sometimes you'll find it when you don't want to or are not
    willing to accept it.  After you find it - "Relationship" is a mighty "ship"
    - Once on boardthere is a danger for mishaps.  Be prepared to accept them.

    Rod, you are not making sense.  Gunshot is not a leading cause of death in
    this country.  Tobacco is, killing 320,000 per year.  Alcohol is, killing
    150,000 per year.  Heroin and cocaine kill a few hundred per year.
    Marijauna kills ZERO people per year.  Millions are killed by cancer.  Once
    uncommon, the accumulation of toxins in our air, water and food has caused
    the increase in the incidence of cancer deaths.  What is being done about
    it?  Early in this century an electrician named Royal Raymond Rife did
    experiments with super high power visual microscopes.  Detail was beyond the
    capability of the medium at those magnifications; movement wasn't.  He
    discovered characteristics of cancer cells which led to a cure. it was
    suppressed.  Later Dr. Wilhelm Riech attempted similar experiments, with
    similar conclusions.  The FDA murdered him.  An Israeli doctor found out how
    to synthesize Laetril correctly, the inventor had not.  The FDA slandered
    the doctor to avoid having to test it.
    I have a better Idea, Rod, lets get rid of the DEA, FDA, IRS, LEAA and all
    the other government agencies that are abusing our not-so-precious-anymore
    Constitution.

          Look opponents, all I want to see is a world that is fun.  If I
    wanted to live in my closet, I could make it fun for a short time,
    that is, until the power company turns my utilities off or my landlard
    evicts me, whichever comes first.

          If I turn on my television or pick up a newspaper or magazine,
    I am reminded that the world we live in is like a scary, science
    fiction novel.  It isn't the Greenhouse effect that worries me, it is
    the quality of life, hereabout.  Perhaps the Greenhouse effect will,
    one day, cause people to work together as a unit but I doubt it.

          I guess part of the problem here on earth is there are so many
    degrees of human species in various stages of evolution.  Some are like
    apes (my apologies to apes) while others have advanced far beyond that.

          If people like Dean, David, JT, Ann, Nick, and some others
    were all we had to deal with in this society, I could relax because
    basically the intelligence level is high enough where we could come to
    equitable terms in short order.  But, no, it isn't that easy because
    many of the people are sucking on a beer with their noses pressed
    against a tv set, watching people in padded uniforms trying to kill each
    other.

          No one told me it would be an easy world to live in, in fact, I
    was told by my mother, many times, "Wait till you get big."
    Truthfully, I didn't know it would be this rough.  My family wasn't
    rich, nor were they even middle class.  I was born and raised in a
    housing project in the forties and early fifties and I learned what
    crime was early.  I haven't had a family I could depend on since I was
    fifteen, which was when I ran away from home.  Financially, I could
    not depend on them when I was growing up because even then the bill
    collectors would come knocking on the door to collect a past due
    amount and I was forced to hide in the closet more than once.

          I was doing fine in school until I was ten and in the fourth
    grade, I was receiving good grades.  But my father couldn't take the
    rat race of raising a family so he found a new girl friend and married
    her.  After that, I didn't care.  I quit in the ninth grade when I was
    fifteen and high tailed it towards Los Angeles to find a better life.

          All I see is dog eat dog, crooked politics, death, murder,
    destruction and that goes for every part of the world.  Everyone wants
    to get ahead at the expense of others.  Whatever happened to the word
    "Share"?

          In any event, I am not proud of this world and I want to plant a
    few seeds.  If they are the wrong kind of seeds and the world gets
    worse before I learn what I must learn, then so be it.  From day
    one of my life (1942), this world has been involved in a war, in the
    production of bigger and better (ha) implements of destruction, just
    so killing can be more streamlined.

          At present, our economy is in disarray, our farmers are biting
    the dust, families are defaulting on their mortgages, politics are
    dirty, there are homeless and hungry people within our borders, and if
    it gets worse because of my ideas, then too _______ bad?
