63 You know how they talk about apple-cheeked midwestern girls
|
||
|
|
64 who out of restlessnwss or cussedness leave their sweet country
|
||
|
|
65 towns and fond families, take a bus to the Big Slimy City and
|
||
|
|
66 devote their tender earnest souls to heartless gangsters and
|
||
|
|
67 pimps? well. Some girls go the other way. Girls like me from
|
||
|
|
68 Big Slimy Cities where parents believe in permissive child-
|
||
|
|
69 rearing and early access to birth-control. Girls like me who
|
||
|
|
70 know too much too soon about easy money and easy virtue take
|
||
|
|
71 the Amtrak to Oklahoma City to Discover America: the America
|
||
|
|
72 of hard work, chastity, and moral order. Girls like me are
|
||
|
|
73 fodder for the McKane Financial and Spiritual Organization.
|
||
|
|
74 We answer an ad (decent humble females wanted...) and are drug
|
||
|
|
75 ged and indoctrinated as "counselors" for the scam run by Hon-
|
||
|
|
76 ored Matri, McKane's trusted assistant. It's easy. We ad-
|
||
|
|
77 vertise on Paul Harvey. The rubes come in with their budget-
|
||
|
|
78 ary problems and after a little sodium pentathol and some pa-
|
||
|
|
79 laver about the ecstacy of spiritual elevation, they gleeful-
|
||
|
|
80 ly sign it all over to McKane's current clayfoot guru. You
|
||
|
|
81 don't even usually have to drug them. Midwesterners may be
|
||
|
|
82 wholesome but they are definitely not quick. This work is
|
||
|
|
83 not the spine-stiffening stuff of our fore-fathers and I would
|
||
|
|
84 gladly go back to the Slimy City where you can at least get
|
||
|
|
85 a decent cup of cappachino but I know too much to be let go.
|
||
|
|
86 So far I've seen 2 possible chinks in this outfit:
|
||
|
|
87 1. Hon. M. went to check out a possible defector and came
|
||
|
|
88 back all dazed and flushed mumbling about "physical and
|
||
|
|
89 spiritual assets." A few days ago she got the same look
|
||
|
|
90 and yelled, "We've got to save the Rickshaw Driver.!"
|
||
|
|
91 and started beating on Rocky.
|
||
|
|
92 2. Rocky is not as docile as McKane's cult heroes. Rocky
|
||
|
|
93 looks like Robert Mitchum, the only human emotion he ever reg-
|
||
|
|
94 isters is scorn, and he swears in Alabanian whenever he gets
|
||
|
|
95 letters from home. "i don't understand these big-deal bombs,"
|
||
|
|
96 "Just send a couple of gats,Wassir" Rocky's all man.

119 I found this in a textbook on Business Communications.
|
||
|
|
120 It reminded me of the discussion about how great Pam and d's writing is.
|
||
|
|
121 A tale often told in direct-mail circles concerns two sales letter writers.
|
||
|
|
122 One was a budding neophyte; the other was a wise old-timer. One day after
|
||
|
|
123 long hours of hard work, the old-timer handed his first draft of a sales letter
|
||
|
|
124 to the neophyte. "Read it," he said, "and tell me what you think."
|
||
|
|
125 The neophyte read. He was wonderfully impressed. "It is beautiful writing--
|
||
|
|
126 simply beautiful," he responded. "Without question, it is the most beautiful
|
||
|
|
127 sales writing I have ever read!"
|
||
|
|
128 After hearing these words, the old-timer took the letter, crumpled it, and
|
||
|
|
129 tossed it into a wastebasket. Then without uttering a word, he returned to
|
||
|
|
130 his typewriter and began work on a new letter.
|
||
|
|
131 The neophyte was dumbfounded. After some moments of bewilderment he asked,
|
||
|
|
132 "Why did you do that? Why did you destroy that most beautiful writing?"
|
||
|
|
133 The old-timer replied, "Beautiful was not the right answer. What I wanted
|
||
|
|
134 to hear was `That's a good product.'"
|
||
|
|
135
|
||
|
|
136 Think about it.

139 The morning sun streamed in through the half-open door of the inn
|
||
|
|
140 as the piper came down the stairs to the common room. No one else was
|
||
|
|
141 stirring, the slanting rays cut golden swaths through the smoke
|
||
|
|
142 that still filled the air from last night's fire. He walked to the
|
||
|
|
143 door and stood in the opening for a moment, looking at the fresh morning,
|
||
|
|
144 waiting for the stiffness of sleep to fade. Streching, the piper walked
|
||
|
|
145 back inside and into the bathroom of the inn. Stripping of his tunic
|
||
|
|
146 and kilt, he slid into the huge pool heated by natural springs that
|
||
|
|
147 nearly filled an adjoining room. Laying back with the water up to his
|
||
|
|
148 chin, he mused about the recent goings-on.
|
||
|
|
149 pppppppppppppppppppppppppppppppppppppp
|
||
|
|
150 Mikey -- I agree with you about keeping the Inn sancrosact. I enjoy
|
||
|
|
151 disporting with the patrons as time goes by. Unfortunately, with the
|
||
|
|
152 Frank matter, I cannot engage in a debate -- I consider his activities
|
||
|
|
153 a threat to my family's well being. Obviousy, the problem is not as
|
||
|
|
154 severe as someone breaking into the house wielding a gun, but I
|
||
|
|
155 cannot consider it any the less a crime of violence. Perhaps I
|
||
|
|
156 reacted too much to the threat -- I do think that I mentioned that
|
||
|
|
157 I wanted to think things through -- but Frank and others in his
|
||
|
|
158 situation should remember that my priorities set my family before
|
||
|
|
159 my own well-being. I feel that violence to children from adults
|
||
|
|
160 is normally indefensable. (No kids, I don't want to spank you
|
||
|
|
161 but if, under certain circumstances I must, it is MY failure
|
||
|
|
162 you are being punished for, and yes -- I have failed.) I cannot
|
||
|
|
163 accept that turning a child into an emotional cripple is any less
|
||
|
|
164 serious than turning one into a physical cripple. Now we come to
|
||
|
|
165 the heart of the matter -- does an adult forcing a sexual encounter
|
||
|
|
166 on a child emotionally cripple the child? My intuition tells me
|
||
|
|
167 yes so strongly that I will react as emotionally as I have. In fact,
|
||
|
|
168 I would treat any evidence given by an admitted child molester such
|
||
|
|
169 as Frank with great caution. It is obvious that he wishes social
|
||
|
|
170 approval (or at least no criminal penalties) for his particular
|
||
|
|
171 actions. I, for one have registered my strong disapproval (and
|
||
|
|
172 perhaps some overreaction). O.K., Frank -- I will at least look at
|
||
|
|
173 some evidence that what you do doesn't hurt anyone. I will probably
|
||
|
|
174 not be convinced, but will check out any references you care to
|
||
|
|
175 name. Also relevant is the age of your victims. I would react less
|
||
|
|
176 strongly as they are older -- at 18 they have been on their own
|
||
|
|
177 for some time.
|
||
|

178 pppppppppppppppppppppppppppppppppppppppppppp
|
||
|
|
179 To all:
|
||
|
|
180 The piobareachd competition was delightful. Most of the pipers
|
||
|
|
181 did quite well, unfortunately my favorites did not win except for
|
||
|
|
182 a young lady from B.C. Canada, who took the second place. (she
|
||
|
|
183 did well last year too).
|
||
|

184 Today are the athletic, dancing, lesser piping, and band events.

|
||
|
|
190 Piper : I agree with you on the Frank thing. I don't think I could
|
||
|
|
191 effectively debate the issue myself, though not having children
|
||
|
|
192 myself it is not a subject as close to home as it is with you.
|
||
|
|
193 But I certainly agree with you in spirit. I was only pointing out
|
||
|
|
194 to L'homme that the discussion taking place was not a debate,
|
||
|
|
195 but simply a plain ordinary argument involving two opposing views.
|
||
|
|
196 You don't engage in name calling and threats in a proper debate.

201 Discussion
|
||
|
|
202 Here is a question that we (everyone) could discuss if they wanted to.
|
||
|
|
203 For the sake of the argument I will take the side of "Pro" instead of "Con".
|
||
|
|
204
|
||
|
|
205 "Is limited nuclear war possible?" There it is. I think that if both
|
||
|
|
206 sides were to agree to only hit missile silo's it could be a possibility.
|
||
|
|
207 xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
|
||
|
|
208 LIMITED NUCLEAR WAR? NO. NO WAY. CONSIDER THE ELECTRO MAGNETIC PULSE AS ONE REAS
|
||
|
|
209 ON. WHEN A NUCLEAR DEVICE IS DETONATED THE EXPLOSION 'KNOCKS' COUNTLESS TRILIONS
|
||
|
|
210 OF ELECTRONS OUT OF THE ATOMS THAT MAKE UP THE ATMOSPHERE. THESE ELECTRONS 'COND
|
||
|
|
211 ENSE' ON ANY METALLIC OBJECT. AFTER AN H BOMB TEST IN THE SOUTH PACIFIC TELEPHON
|
||
|
|
212 E EQIUPMWNT, POWER DISTRIBUTION STATIONS, RADAR, ETC ETC WERE RENDERED INOPERABL
|
||
|
|
213 E HUNDREDS OF MILES AWAY. AND THIS FROM ONE "DEVICE" DETONATED AT LOW ALTITUDE.
|
||
|
|
214 DELICATE SOLID STATE EQUIPMENT IS ESPECIALLY SUCEPTIBLE TO THIS EMP. ONE MEDIUM
|
||
|
|
215 SIZE BOMB DETONATED AT HIGH ALTITUDE (100 MILES, EG) WOULD DEVESTATE COMMUNICATI
|
||
|
|
216 ONSZ, RADAR, ETC, OVER MOST OF THE WESTERN HEMISPHERE. WHOEVER STRIKES FIRST WIL
|
||
|
|
217 L "WIN". NOTE QUOTE MARKS ON WIN. BOTH SIDES KNOW THIS, OF COURSE, SO TO USE ANY
|
||
|
|
218 THING LESS THAN EVERYTHING WOULD BE A VERY BAD MOVE FOR EITHER SIDE. IT WILL MOS
|
||
|
|
219 T LIKELY BE ALL OR NOTHING. THE INN WOULD BE DESTROYED BY 'HI-TECH'.(AS WELL AS
|
||
|
|
220 THE REST OF THE WORLD). I PROPOSE A QUESTION MORE BEFITTING THE SPIRIT OF THE IN
|
||
|
|
221 N. "HOW WOULD YOU RATE THE QUALITY OF THE INKEEPERS ALE?"
|
||
|
|
222 xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
|
||
|
|
223 Yes, that question is High tech and should be dropped!
|
||
|
|
224 By the way, how good is the quality of the ale?
|
||
|
|

226 Lysias: Please do NOT use lines longer than 126 chars. 128 char lines mess up

276 OK, I know I was a bit (well very) emotional in my responce (actually I
|
||
|
|
277 just ranted) to the Frank episode. Well, that's because I get very emotion
|
||
|
|
278 -al with such a subject. this is neither an apology or explanation for
|
||
|
|
279 my behavior. It's just a statement. And should we have a similar topic

280 in the future, I'm sorry to say that I may most probably end up ranting again.

284 I watched the Piper leave after anouncing his intention to
|
||
|
|
285 go to some sort of competition. Now I wonder what this 'kaber'
|
||
|
|
286 thing was that he was muttering about as he left.
|
||
|
|
287 That and the dour mood of the Innkeeper leaves me a bit
|
||
|
|
288 puzzled. After his chasing out the odd looking individuals
|
||
|
|
289 that were brandishing some strange implements, I found myself
|
||
|
|
290 alone in the Inn. After the intense and loud background noise
|
||
|
|
291 of people talking laughing and occasional shout, the ensuing
|
||
|
|
292 silence left my ears ringing. Inquiring of the Innkeeper what
|
||
|
|
293 it was all about left me with no answer, so I just shrug my
|
||
|
|
294 shoulders, settle back in my chair and wait for the madness to
|
||
|
|
295 return. Actually, it is rather nice to be able to hear myself
|
||
|
|
296 think for a change after all the hubbub.
|
||
|
|
297 I wonder who this 'd' was that one of the louder arguments
|
||
|
|
298 had been going on about. And what of this PAM person who
|
||
|
|
299 seemed to somehow be associated. Perhaps if I stick around
|
||
|
|
300 I'll findout the answers to these questions and many others I
|
||
|
|
301 have about this strange place.

304 As the wind rushed by and the slanting raysof spring sun
|
||
|
|
305 glistened on the morning dew, Griff couldn't help but to daydream
|
||
|
|
306 about what lay ahead. He knew it would be the most spectacular
|
||
|
|
307 thing that he would ever see. But then his mind shifted to thinking
|
||
|
|
308 of all the warnings that he had left behind. They were posted at
|
||
|
|
309 the town meeting hall, warnings of danger and death. Griff paid
|
||
|
|
310 no attention to those peices of paper at all, he was going to enter
|
||
|
|
311 the forest of Andeluvia and find the magic of his ancestors.
|
||
|
|
312 The first day passed, and the second, and the third. Griff pushed
|
||
|
|
313 on accros the seemingly andless expans. On the fourth day the gentle
|
||
|
|
314 forest gave way to sharp inclines and deep gulleys with scattered
|
||
|
|
315 clearings dotting the landscape. He had been traveling with only
|
||
|
|
316 the briefest of stops for food and rest, and the intense pace of the
|
||
|
|
317 journey began to take its toll. Fatigue and hunger ate at his
|
||
|
|
318 physique. Only his burning hope gave him the strength to follow the
|
||
|
|
319 terrain. Griff pushed further into the deepening woods. He couldn't
|
||
|
|
320 stop thinking of the wonder that lay ahead.

338 Nuclear Debate: I think that either side would rather unleash all of their weapons rather than deal with the 'Deadlands'
|

339 left over after a "limited" exchange. If a war develops between the Soviet Union and the U.S., I believe it will be
|
||
|
|
340 on the "Flexible Response" plan. That is, each side will only use weapons that are on a par with the other's.
|
||
|
|
341 If that means small bombs (non-nuclear), then so be it. If it means nuclear ones.....

345 There sits a ghost at the Inn. He lurks in the corner, moaning quiet

346 moans. A shadow of a man who laughs no more. He thinks of a land lost,

347 wallows in his misery and cries waterless tears. Yet no one cares, no one

406 Concerning "Limited Nuclear War"
|
||
|
|
407 This entry is based on an article entitled '"No First Use" of Nuclear
|
||
|
|
408 Weapons,' written by Kurt Gottfried, Henry W Kendall, and John M Lee--as found
|
||
|
|
409 in the March, 1984 issue of Scientific American.(pp 33-41):
|
||
|
|
410 NATO currently subscribes to a first-use policy as a means to deter enemy
|
||
|
|
411 agression. "...under the present first-use policy nuclear weapons are integral
|
||
|
|
412 to the training, planning and equipping phases of all NATO military operations.
|
||
|
|
413 In the event of reverses in a major conflict there would be almost irresistable
|
||
|
|
414 pressure to use them." This is most unfortunate because "...even the most
|
||
|
|
415 limited use of nuclear weapons could well lead to the ultimate catastrophe of
|
||
|
|
416 global nuclear war."
|
||
|
|
417 Unfortunately, no method has been proposed for stopping a nuclear war once it
|
||
|
|
418 has been started. An organization called the Union of Concerned Scientists (of
|
||
|
|
419 which the article's authors are members) conducted a thorough investigation of
|
||
|
|
420 current political and military situations. Their report calls for an increase
|
||
|
|
421 of conventional weapons and the adoption of a "no first-use" policy.
|
||
|
|
422 The use of nuclear weapons on a limited scale requires accurate, prompt infor-
|
||
|
|
423 mation on army locations and troop movements. The military demands for engaging in
|
||
|
|
424 nuclear war calls for immediate information and decisions from those in
|
||
|
|
425 authority. NATO relies on an intricate system to gather information and make
|
||
|
|
426 decisions (the system is referred to as 'command, control, communications and
|
||
|
|
427 intelligence', or C3I). If communications lines were attacked (as they certainly
|
||
|
|
428 would be) field commanders would be helpless as they cannot act alone.
|
||
|
|
429 Instead, the highest authorities of all NATO countries must agree on the timing,
|
||
|
|
430 magnitude, and location of ANY nuclear attack. This leads to mass confusion.
|
||
|
|
431 The political requirements for the use of nuclear weapons openly conflict the
|
||
|
|
432 military's ability to act effectively. Field commanders are stuck with troops
|
||
|
|
433 equipped with and trained in warfare with nuclear weapons (thus creating a
|
||
|
|
434 strong desire to use them) While communications are delayed by indecision, red
|
||
|
|
435 tape, and are possibly even destroyed. This all leads to the destruction of
|
||
|
|
436 NATO forces while our missiles lie dormant and/or (even worse) the unauthorized
|
||
|
|
437 use of nuclear weapons followed by chaotic nuclear escalation. "It would be
|
||
|
|
438 reckless to assume that escalation far beyond the battlefield could be averted
|
||
|
|
439 in such circumstances."
|
||
|
|
440 In order to stop escalation to global nuclear war, superb diplomacy in an
|
||
|
|
441 extreme crisis would be needed. Such rapid agreements (specific limits on
|
||
|
|
442 targets and weapon use) would require unprecedented bilateral cooperation such
|
||
|
|
443 as the Earth has never seen.
|
||
|
|
444 Taken again from '"No First Use" of Nuclear Weaponry':
|
||
|
|
445 "In short, there is no plausible scenario for the use of nuclear weapons in a
|
||
|
|
446 conflict between the two superpowers that does not carry with it the danger of
|
||
|
|
447 catastrophic escalation."

457 IT WAS ALMOST DUSK WHEN I FINALLY REACHED THE LAKE, AND
|
||
|
|
458 THOUGH I WAS TIRED FROM THE LONG WALK, I FELT STRANGELY REFRESH
|
||
|
|
459 ED. PERHAPS, I THOUGHT, IT IS BECAUSE I AM SO CLOSE TO THE END
|
||
|
|
460
|
||
|
|
461 OF MY JOURNEY. SITTING MYSELF DOWN ON A LARGE STONE AT THE EDGE
|
||
|
|
462 OF THE WATER, I TOOK OFF MY SANDALS AND IMMERSED MY TIRED FEET
|
||
|
|
463 IN THE COOL CRYSTAL CLEAR WATER. A DRAGONFLY BUZZED ABOUT ME,AN
|
||
|
|
464 D FOR A SECOND, IT'S TWIN PAIRS OF WINGS WERE TRANSFORMED INTO
|
||
|
|
465 TINY STAINED GLASS WINDOWS BY THE SETTING SUN, AND THEN IT WAS
|
||
|
|
466
|
||
|
|
467 GONE. THE WAVES LAPPED RHYTHMICALLY AT MY FEET,THE CAT TAILS
|
||
|
|
468 THAT GREW ALONG THE SHORE SWAYED BACK AND FORTH IN THE GENTLE
|
||
|
|
469 BREEZE, KEEPING TIME. SUDDENLY THE WIND SHIFTED AND THE AIR WAS
|
||
|
|
470
|
||
|
|
471 FILLED WITH DELICATE WHITE SEEDS OF A COTTONWOOD TREE, LIKE TIN
|
||
|
|
472 Y CLOUDS FLOATING DOWN TO EARTH. MY COMPANION TOOK GREAT DELIGH
|
||
|
|
473 T IN CHASING THEM ABOUT, AND I LAUGHED ALOUD AS HE SNEEZED, HIS
|
||
|
|
474 LITTLE PAWS BRUSHING THEM FROM HIS WHISKERS.
|
||
|
|
475 AS THE SUN SLIPPED BELOW THE MOUNTAINS ABOVE, I AROSE AND SET
|
||
|
|
476 UP MY CAMP. PITCHING MY LITTLE TENT, AND BUILDING A SMALL CAMP
|
||
|
|
477 FIRE. HOW FORTUNATE, THAT I FOUND SOME CEDAR BRANCHES, I LOVE
|
||
|
|
478 THE AROMA OF A CEDAR FIRE. IN THE LAST MOMENTS OF LIGHT, I
|
||
|
|
479 CAUGHT A CATFISH, AND MY COMPANION AND I DINED ON IT, AND
|
||
|
|
480 THE WILD STRAWBERRIES THAT HE HAD
|
||
|
|
481 FOUND.
|
||
|
|
482 CRAWLING INTO MY LITTLE TENT, I LAID BACK, AND ONCE AGAIN, MY
|
||
|
|
483 THOUGHTS DRIFTED--BACK TO ANOTHER TIME---. MY COMPANION CRAWLED
|
||
|
|
484 UP ON MY CHEST, AND LOOKED AT ME AS IF TO SAY,"TELLME ABOUT IT"
|
||
|
|
485
|
||
|
|
486 I HAD BEEN ASLEEP, AND WAS ONLY HALF AWAKENED BY THE COMMOTION
|
||
|
|
487 THE SHOUTS OF THE VILLAGERS. MY SISTER SHOOK ME AWAKE;"COME!
|
||
|
|
488 FATHER HAS RETURNED. COME GREET HIM. AAKE NOW, I RAN OUT INTO
|
||
|
|
489 THE SQUARE, AND HE GRABBED ME, AND SWUNG ME UP ONTO HIS SHOULDE
|
||
|
|
490 R. HOW PROUD I WAS AS THE VILLAGERS CROWDED AROUND US, CALLING
|
||
|
|
491 OUT GREETINGS, SHAKING HANDS. THEN, SUDDENLY, HE BEGGED TO BE
|
||
|
|
492 EXCUSED, AND STRODE AWAY. OFF WE WALKED, AWAY FROM THE VILLAGE,
|
||
|
|
493 AND INTO THE WOODS. SOON, WE CAME TO A SMALL CLEARING, AND MY
|
||
|
|
494 FATHER SAT ME DOWN ON A LOG. THEN HE SPOKE."MY CHILD, YOU HAVE
|
||
|
|
495 HEARD IT WHISPERED THAT ONE DAY I WOULD RETURN, AND BRING A

||

496 GREAT GIFT TO THE PEOPLE OF THE VILLAGE. THIS IS NOT TO BE.

497 INSTEAD, IT WILL BE UPON YOU TO COMPLETE THIS NOBLE TASK.
|
||
|
|
498 REACHING INTO HIS POCKET, HE WITHDREW A SMALL TIN BOX, WHICH HE
|
||
|
|
499 HANDED TO ME. THEN HE DREW HIS GREAT BROADSWORD, AND PLUNGED IT
|
||
|
|
500
|
||
|
|
501 DEEP UNDER A LARGE ROCK. BEADS OF SWEAT TRICKLED FROM HIS BROW
|
||
|
|
502 ,AND HIS MIGHTY ARMS BULGED IN HIS EFFORT. SLOWLY, THE HUGE ROC
|
||
|
|
503
|
||
|
|
504 K WAS RAISED. "PLACE THE BOX UNDER THE ROCK, HE ORDERED ME.
|
||
|
|
505 QUICKLY!" THE TERRIBLE STRAIN REDUCING HIS WORDS TO A WHISPER.
|
||
|
|
506 AND AS I DID, THE BLADE OF THE GREAT SWORD SHATTERED, AND THE
|
||
|
|
507 ROCK FELL BACK, SHAKING THE GROUND BENEATH ME.AGAIN, HE SPOKE.
|
||
|
|
508 "ONCE AGAIN I MUST GO AWAY, MY CHILD. I WILL NOT BE COMING BACK
|
||
|
|
509
|
||
|
|
510 "YOU MUST GO TO THE VILLAGE ELDERS, AND TELL THEM THAT YOU MUST
|
||
|
|
511 LEARN THE MESSAGE OF THE STARS. GIVE THEM THIS, HE SAID, TAKING
|
||
|
|
512 A RING FROM HIS FINGER, AND HANDING IT TO ME.THEY WILL KNOW
|
||
|
|
513 IT'S MEANING, AND THEY WILL TEACH YOU. ON THE DAY OF YOUR EIGHT
|
||
|
|
514 TEENTH BIRTHDAY, YOU MUST RETRIEVE THE BOX FROM UNDER THE ROCK.
|
||
|
|
515 IN IT IS A MAP. WHEN YOU READ IT YOU WILL UNDERSTAND-IF YOU
|
||
|
|
516 HAVE LEARNED FROM THE ELDERS-AND THEN YOU WILL KNOW WHAT IT IS
|
||
|
|
517 THAT YOU MUST DO." AND NOW, MY CHILD, I MUST GO. REMEMBER THAT
|
||
|
|
518 YOU HAVE A MISSION, AND THAT YOU MUST NOT FAIL. AND REMEMBER,
|
||
|
|
519 MY CHILD, THAT I LOVE YOU."
|
||
|
|
520 AND THEN HE WAS GONE. TO BE CONTINUED.
|
||
|
|
521
|
||
|
|
522
|
||
|
|
523 LOAM: THAT SHOULD HAVE STATED THAT YOU "WOULD" KNOW ME AS
|
||
|
|
524 MICHELLE, NOT THAT YOU "DO" KNOW ME AS MICHELLE. MY NAME IS NOT
|

532 If we're going to pursue a stroy line with wide appeal we
|
||
|
|
533 shoul incorporate some of the depth of the non-story entries
|
||
|
|
534 on BWMS I'd like to see a high-tech version of a medieval
|
||
|
|
535 morality play with Evil characters like Barren Intellect, Ab-
|
||
|
|
536 solute Power & Unbridled Lust battling Good guys like Pure
|
||
|
|
537 Love, Sweet Reason, and Justace for all ( all the Good charach-
|
||
|
|
538 ters sound promiscuous). Have them act out our ideas on the
|
||
|
|
539 proper use of machines and knowledge. See what strange alli-
|
||
|
|
540 ances they form (Intellect and Justice start a law firm; Pure
|
||
|
|
541 Love and Power found the Roman Catholic Church).
|
||
|
|
542 People that take fantasy seriously grasp that the window
|
||
|
|
543 of our perceptions is tiny and dim. Our picture of the world
|
||
|
|
544 is at best a blind-man's-view-of-the-elephant. The internal
|
||
|
|
545 world that we build from these scraps of information is the one
|
||
|
|
546 one that we truly inhabit. We want to build it pure and fine.
|
||
|
|
547 That's why patrons of the Inn are so passionately critical when
|
||
|
|
548 someone doesn't measure up morally or grammatically--a person's
|
||
|
|
549 inner world is precious and not to be ligxtly botched. What
|
||
|
|
550 we're doing is important. Fantasy, the basis of all science,
|
||
|
|
551 religion and philosphy, creates the "real" world.
|
||
|
|

|
||
|

553 Meanwhile we need a fast funny yarn to keep us entertained.

568 I've got a question about the nuclear war debate: Regarding the EMP, if
|
||
|
|
569 it knocks out ALL electrical workings, what about the other missles around
|
||
|
|
570 it? Dosen't that mean that when one hits, it knocks out the other missles
|
||
|
|
571 (just by defalt)? If so, a nuclear war is not only crippling to the involved
|
||
|
|
572 nations, but is still limited in the amount of damge sustained. What do
|
||
|
|
573 you think?

585 Here's another question for debate: Do you believe that most Americans (or people in general) are intellectual,
|
||
|
|
586 anti-intellectual, or non-intellectual? It seems to me, in recent times, that people in general are becoming non-
|
||
|
|
587 intellectual, being simply not interested in things that are intellectual. William H. Whyte, Jr., cites as one
|
||
|
|
588 example, a well-known chemical company's recruiting film. At one point, as three scientists are shown in a lab, a
|
||
|
|
589 narrator comments: "No geniuses here - just a bunch of average Americans working together."
|
||
|
|
590 Do you believe that intellegent people are given less recognition than is their due? Do you think it is fitting that
|
||
|
|
591 an official of the U.S. Office of Education blandly lumps together "the blind and the partially seeing, the deaf and
|
||
|
|
592 the hard of hearing, the speech-defective, the crippled, the delicate, the epileptic, the mentally deficient, the
|
||
|
|
593 socially maladjusted, and the extraordinarily gifted" ? Strange bedfellows, indeed. Think on it.
