70 GLOWING OUTLOOK FOR FOOD IRRADIATION BUSINESS
|
|||
|
71
|
|||
|
72 The food industry is going high-tech with a seemingly innocent
|
|||
|
73 procedure called irradiation -- a process that delays ripening by
|
|||
|
74 exposing food to radioactive materials that kill insects, mold, and
|
|||
|
75 bacteria.
|
|||
|
76 Critics point out that irradiation may produce food products that
|
|||
|
77 at best have lower nutritional value; at worst are carcinogenic.
|
|||
|
78 Irradition also poses significant health threats to workers and the
|
|||
|
79 public in transportation, storage, and disposal of radioactive waste.
|
|||
|
80 And there is real concern over the safety of radioactive devices used
|
|||
|
81 in food, beverage, cosmetic, and drug industries.
|
|||
|
82 While spices are the first irradiated edibles marketed in the
|
|||
|
83 U.S., the Food and Drug Admnstration (FDA) also has approved
|
|||
|
84 irradiation for use on produce and some meats. Interestingly, the FDA
|
|||
|
85 regulates irradiation not as a process but as an additive.
|
|||
|
86 The question, of course, is exactly what is "added" to irradiated
|
|||
|
87 food? Irradiated food looks and smells better for an extended time,
|
|||
|
88 but little is known about the chemical changes induced by the process.
|
|||
|
89 One science writer posed the complex issues when he asked "What
|
|||
|
90 do you get when you irradiate an apple with 100,000 rads of gamma
|
|||
|
91 rays. Is that irradiation a process or an additive? Who should
|
|||
|
92 control it? Does it pose a carcinogenic threat to humans? Since it
|
|||
|
93 reduces food spoilage and replaces dangerous pesticides, is it a
|
|||
|
94 blessing for the world's hungry?" And then he asked, "Why are there
|
|||
|
95 no answers to these questions?"
|
|||
|
96 Meanwhile, the track record in irradiation facilities is anything
|
|||
|
97 but reassuring. The Radiation Technology plant in Far Rockaway, New
|
|||
|
98 Jersey, was closed by the Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) for
|
|||
|
99 willfully supplying false information about repeated safety
|
|||
|
100 violations; the NRC also shut down International Nutronics in Dover,
|
|||
|
101 New Jersey, after workers reported a coverup of a radioative spill of
|
|||
|
102 a tank of water containing cobalt-60 rods; and workers in Isomedix
|
|||
|
103 Co., Parsippany, New Jersey, were told to clean up leaks by pouring
|
|||
|
104 radioactive water down bathroom toilets and sinks.
|
|||
|
105 Earlier this year, the NRC suspended the use of an industrial
|
|||
|
106 air-purifying device that leaked tiny particles of radioactive
|
|||
|
107 polonium at plants around the nation. The NRC also order 3M to recall
|
|||
|
108 for inspection all 45,000 of the ionizing air guns used to control
|
|||
|
109 static electricty and remove dust from product containers. Of 828
|
|||
|
110 plants inspected so far, contamination was found at 118 sites; of
|
|||
|
111 those, the radiation exceeded the reportable limit of .005 microcuries
|
|||
|
112 in 39 plants. Subsequently, the NRC recalled 2,500 3M units used in
|
|||
|
113 the food, beverage, costmetic and drug industries.
|
|||
|
114 Given the potential problems, one would expect to find the
|
|||
|
115 irradiation issue on the national media agenda; but it isn't.
|
|||
|
116 Meanwhile, as serious questions go unanswered, the government has
|
|||
|
117 proposed federal regulations that would allow more irradiation.

|

|
129 I've been reviewing the entries of the abortion debate here, and I
|
|||
|
130 would just like to say that I'm impressed (with a couple of exceptions).
|
|||
|
131 For an issue that is as emotional as this is, that emotion was well
|
|||
|
132 contained and the debators went to great effort to clearly and concisely
|
|||
|
133 state their veiw point. No attempt was made to "win" the argument or
|
|||
|
134 convert others to their veiwpoint. Rather it seemed to be more of a
|
|||
|
135 heartfelt desire to express that viewpoint in a way that others could
|
|||
|
136 understand. And, more importantly, an acceptance of the existance of
|
|||
|
137 that view point by the others. As I say, I'm impressed, and it makes me
|
|||
|
138 feel just a little better especially after seeing the two canidates
|
|||
|
139 one of whom will most likely become our next president try to bash
|
|||
|
140 each others brains in and run off in an emotional tiff. "Mommy! He hurt
|
|||
|
141 me! He Hurt me! Whaaaa!" It's frightening to think that one of the
|
|||
|
142 most important countries in the world will soon be run by one of these
|
|||
|
143 two intellectual morons. Their only intent seems to be to avoid discussing
|
|||
|
144 issues at all costs for fear that someone might find out that they
|
|||
|
145 don't have any answers.
|
|||
|
146 As I say, after reading the debate messages here again I felt a little
|
|||
|
147 better. Maybe there's hope yet...there really are intellegent and
|
|||
|
148 concerned people out there who's vision goes beyond the short term
|
|||
|
149 lust for power at any cost. People who wish to express their views
|
|||
|
150 as clearly as possible and having a strong desire to know and understand
|
|||
|
151 the views of others. There are times when begin to think that is
|
|||
|
152 non-exsistant these days. It's nice to find it still alive and well.

162 I'm coming to the conclusion that good people just don't make it that far in
|
|||
|
163 politics. You have to have a real lust for power to put up with the garbage
|
|||
|
164 that goes on.
|
|||
|
165
|
|||
|
166 Unfortunetly the avoidance of issues is as much a reflection on we the
|
|||
|
167 people of this country as it is on the candidates. The feeling is (And the
|
|||
|
168 media supports this.) that we are all to imature to be able to make an
|
|||
|
169 educated decision about the candidat's, and must instead rely upon some sort
|
|||
|
170 of mistake being made.
|
|||
|
171
|
|||
|
172 Perhaps we are so self centered that we cannot stand to think that the
|
|||
|
173 candidate we are voting for has some opinions that we do not agree with.
|
|||
|
174
|
|||
|
175 I read through a posting on another board that put Dukakis down because he
|
|||
|
176 had supported gun control bills. Interestingly enough I recently heard that
|
|||
|
177 Bush is the only of the two candidats to have actually voted for a
|
|||
|
178 gun control bill. (This be the 1968 gun control act I believe.)
|
|||
|
179
|
|||
|
180 But because of Dukakis's supposed stance on gun control the poster s not
|
|||
|
181 going to vote for him. Gee, I suppose being involved in selling arms to
|
|||
|
182 terrorists and helping to cut back on social programs that help people get
|
|||
|
183 out of poverty is alright under those circumstances.

204
|

|
205 I pulled myself back into Beta-Space. My vacation over, I knew that
|
|||
|
206 my life must continue on...with sorrow, I left P-Space (my PRIVATE and
|
|||
|
207 isolated universe) to come back to the Inn. I had found 'mail' left for
|
|||
|
208 me; I opened the Eye for a moment; the vision I recieved pleased me,
|
|||
|
209 one of many people of different beliefs peacefully existing and
|
|||
|
210 sharing private thoughts amoung themselves; the Eye closed, my eyes
|
|||
|
211 re-opened to the 'world'; and I watched Kurfur debate with a keg
|
|||
|
212 of ale in his own, private way. Kurfur was winning (or losing,
|
|||
|
213 depending on your beliefs) against the keg; yet I knew that the ale
|
|||
|
214 would triumph in the end. How strange it seemed, knowing a mighty
|
|||
|
215 warrior from many a battle losing against a single, yet inanimate
|
|||
|
216 enemy. Oh well. At least this enemy brought some cheer and
|
|||
|
217 relief for his life. That, plus it didn't possess a bladed
|
|||
|
218 weapon pointed at me. It was not that he was doing something
|
|||
|
219 "wrong" in my eyes. It just seemed to be an irony, a passing
|
|||
|
220 thought that read like a simple story. I myself have had the
|
|||
|
221 delight in sampling alcohol, in many different forms; but I have
|
|||
|
222 yet the courage to find enough to make me spin as I float. Maybe
|
|||
|
223 that was why the Mighty Warrior drank; it was his courage coming
|
|||
|
224 through, showing, nay, even yelling, that he was a warrior, and
|
|||
|
225 not someone claiming to be one. I smiled - a rare thing for me,
|
|||
|
226 unless in revelry - and gave Bhudda's Blessing to him (which
|
|||
|
227 meant no hangover the next day) of mind, which would
|
|||
|
228 last a meger 24 hours (only a Master Guru could bestow more
|
|||
|
229 than 24 hours - and I mean a GRAND MASTER). A gift for the
|
|||
|
230 warrior, after his long and tiresome travels. He did
|
|||
|
231 not notice me for the moment, instead, he continued talking
|
|||
|
232 to others over a time stream in his realm. I floated to him,
|
|||
|
233 weary, tired, and hoping for a sample of the ale he had.
|
|||
|
234 It smelled wonderful in its own, 'Earthy' way, the hops
|
|||
|
235 climbing just slightly about the powerful smell of
|
|||
|
236 alcohol. (Ah, well, I guess a short party wouldn't hurt...)
|
|||
|
237 so I summoned a keg from the Cellar (yes, the Inn now possesses
|
|||
|
238 a cellar!), punched the tap into the keg, and drew a
|
|||
|
239 hearty draft into my own stein (in P-Space, where my home
|
|||
|
240 is). I made a simple broadcast to the Crossroads, where
|
|||
|
241 it would be picked up by Temporal Sensitives. Eye, a short
|
|||
|
242 party (ack-I always had a low tolerence) Inn the in.

329 words that no writer ever want's to hear or think about? Whoops, I probably

|
|||
|
401
|
|||
|
402 We have been dating for 6 years, straight out of high school, throug
|
|||
|
403 and out of college, to the present. It was not always nice; it was also
|
|||
|
404 not always bad, either.
|
|||
|
405
|
|||
|
406 Her first name I shall give (and no more than one): Novia.
|
|||
|
407 Pronounce it "Nova". She hates that name. I call her by another
|
|||
|
408 but it would take too much time to explain that one. Please, be
|
|||
|
409 happy with just Novia. Besides, our names mean little to each other.
|
|||
|
410 What means more we share between us. What else matters?

492 A "wormhole" was forming in Beta Space. This worried me, even

493 though my mind had the consistency of tapioca. So, like any other

|
|||
|
495 into the entry wormhole.
|

|
496
|

|
497 "Ooze" is a correct description. It's so much easier to be a liquid

498 than it is to be a solid - ...oh, sorry. You want to know that I saw...

|
499
|

500 I saw a large Mole, conversing with Wonderer. (Ok. This is to

|
|||
|
502 their direction - a kind of going-away gift for Wonderer, who was off
|
|||
|
503 to another adventure. Sooner or later, though, he would return, and

504 be with his friends to recount the tales of his travels.

654 Ah, life without self-awareness. That can be as bad as life without

655 enjoying the company of friends. To live without awareness of yourself
|

656 your position and capabilities means that you are not living, only

657 existing. Marking time until death comes to embrace you. Of what value
|

658 is that? We have been blessed (cursed?) with the knowledge of self-

659 awareness we should live up to it. A mind is a terible thing to waste.

660 A person who does not express their own thoughts and feelings, bowing

728 Bagging A Quayle-10/21/88-
|

|
729
|
|||
|
730 Vice President George Bush has wrapped himself in the
|
|||
|
731 flag during his campaign for the presidency -- and in the Pledge of Allegiance.
|
|||
|
732 According to Harper's magazine index, Bush recited the
|
|||
|
733 Pledge of Allegiance about 25 times in the month following his nomination.
|
|||
|
734 But the number of times he recited it while a student at
|
|||
|
735 Greenwich Country Day School was zero.
|
|||
|
736 Harper's also notes that Dan Quayle has a 25 percent
|
|||
|
737 chance of being elected president in the next eight years if
|
|||
|
738 Bush becomes president.
|
|||
|
739 In addition, there was a 39 percent increase in video
|
|||
|
740 rentals of the movie Hoosiers following Quayle's acceptance speech.
|
|||
|
741 And the average number of golf rounds Quayle played each
|
|||
|
742 week last year was three.
|
|||
|
743 For those of you who don't golf, that totals up to about
|
|||
|
744 20 hours of playing time each week. Good work if you can get it.--M.D.

747 Dukakis Outdressed Bush-10/21/88-
|
|||
|
748
|
|||
|
749 If clothes make the man, then Michael Dukakis would
|
|||
|
750 become the next president of the United States.
|
|||
|
751 So says Canadian clothier Saul Korman.
|
|||
|
752 He claims Dukakis simply dresses more presidential than George Bush.
|
|||
|
753 According to Korman, Bush's Brooks Brothers suits hang
|
|||
|
754 on his lanky 6-foot-2 frame like a gunnysack.
|
|||
|
755 He also says Bush is making a mistake by wearing white
|
|||
|
756 short-sleeve shirts on the campaign trail.
|
|||
|
757 In fact, he says Bush probably prefers a very
|
|||
|
758 sophisticated French cuff shirt, but his advisers won't let him wear one.
|
|||
|
759 Still, Korman says Bush's presidential dress is improving.
|
|||
|
760 As for Dukakis, Korman claims that his suits sport more
|
|||
|
761 of a European cut, and the Massachusetts governor wears a
|
|||
|
762 nice assortment of ties.
|
|||
|
763 He says the only drawback is Dukakis' sloping shoulderline.
|
|||
|
764 But his advisers have been padding them up as of late.--M.D.

782 Fining them isn't good enough, they should be horse whipped, and thrown in

793
|

794 After a very hectic Holloween, Count Dracula decided that he needed

796 He rented a nice0bemode castle and settled in for a comfortable

|
797 and relaxing vacation.
|
|||
|
798 Every night he would pop out and capture a lovely Italian maiden,

799 suck the blood from her body, and throw her off the ramparts into
|

804 hitting the water though, it landed on an alligator which `roceuded

828 Commentary by Owl
|
|||
|
829
|
|||
|
830 Unless you are living in a coma, you must certainly know that one of the
|
|||
|
831 central "issues" of this presidential campaign is the Pledge of Allegiance.
|
|||
|
832 The argument is whedher or not teachers should be required by law to lead
|
|||
|
833 their classes in the Pledge.
|
|||
|
834
|
|||
|
835 George Bush has repeatedly said that, if he had been governor of
|
|||
|
836 Massachusetts in 1977, he would have signed the bill forcing teachers in the
|
|||
|
83'0Com}onwealth to lead their classes in the Pledge of Allegiance. Michael
|
|||
|
838 Dukakis vetoed that bill on the advice of the Supreme Judicial Court of
|
|||
|
839 Massachusetts and his own attorney general. That advice was based on the
|
|||
|
840 landmark decision of the U.S. Supreme Court in West Virginia State Board of
|
|||
|
841 Education vs. Barnette in 1943.
|
|||
|
842
|
|||
|
843 This case involved a group of Jehovah's Witnesses, whose faith bars them from
|
|||
|
844 reciting the Pledge. In the late 1930's and early 1940's, hundreds0of
|
|||
|
(45 Jehovah's Witnesses were expelled from elementary schools for refusing to
|
|||
|
846 recite the Pledge. In 1943 the Jehovahs finally took their case to court.
|
|||
|
847 Excerpts from the Supreme Court's majority opinion written by Justice Robert
|
|||
|
848 H. Jac{con (New York Times, August 27, 1988):
|
|||
|
849
|
|||
|
850 Struggles to coerce uniformity of sentiment in support of some end
|
|||
|
851 thought essential to their time and country have been waged by many
|
|||
|
852 good as well as by evil men. Ultimate futility ov such attempts to
|
|||
|
853 compel coherence is the lesson of every such effort from the Roman
|
|||
|
854 drive to stamp out Christianity as a disturber of its pagan unity,
|
|||
|
855 the Inquisition, as a means to religious and dynastic unity, the
|
|||
|
85&0 0 Siberian exiles as a means to Russian unity, down to the fast
|
|||
|
857 failing efforts of our present totalitarian enemies. Those who
|
|||
|
858 begin coercive elimination of dissent soon find themselves
|
|||
|
859 exterminating dissenters. Compulsby unification of opinion
|
|||
|
860 achieves the unanimity of the graveyard.
|
|||
|
861
|
|||
|
862 It seems trite but necessary to say that the First Amendment to our
|
|||
|
863 Constitution was designed to avoid these ends by avoiding these
|
|||
|
864 beginnings. There is no mysticism in the American concept of the
|
|||
|
865 state or of the nature or origin of its authority. We set up
|
|||
|
866 government by consent of the governed, and the Bill of Rights
|
|||
|
867 denies those in power any legal opportunity to0coerce that consent.
|
|||
|
868
|
|||
|
869 The case is made difficult not because the principles of its
|
|||
|
870 decision are obscure, but because the flag involved is our own.
|
|||
|
871 Nevertheless, we apply the limitations of the Constitution with no
|
|||
|
872 0 0fear that freedom to be intellectually and spiritually diverse or
|
|||
|
873 even contrary, will disintegrate the social organization. To
|
|||
|
874 believe that patriotism will not flourish if patriotic ceremonies
|
|||
|
875 are voluntary and spontanees ynstead of a compulsory routine is to
|
|||
|
876 make an unflattering estimate of the appeal of our institutions to
|
|||
|
877 free minds.
|
|||
|
878
|
|||
|
879 We can have intellectual individualism and the rich cultural
|
|||
|
880 diversities that we owe to uhcepdional minds only at the price of
|
|||
|
881 occasional eccentricity and abnormal attitudes. When they are so
|
|||
|
882 harmless to others or to the state as those we deal with here, the
|
|||
|
883 price is not too great. But freedom to differ is not lymidud to
|
|||
|
884 things that do not matter much. That would be a mere shadow of
|
|||
|
885 freedom. The test of its substance is the right to differ as to
|
|||
|
886 things that touch the heart of the existing order.
|
|||
|
887
|
|||
|
888 If there is any fihud star in our constitutional constellation, it
|
|||
|
889 is that no official, high or petty, can prescribe what shall be
|
|||
|
890 orthodox in politics, nationalism, religion, or other matters of
|
|||
|
891 opinion or force citizens to confess by word or qct their faith
|
|||
|
892 therein.

909 released from prison while Dukakis was governor, it is also true that the

916 This will be one of few messages, due to lack ov cbuative writing,
|
|||
|
917 name bashing, politics, prisons, ex-cops in prisons getting high from
|
|||
|
918 nicotine while hiding it from their supervisors, stupid speeches that
|
|||
|
919 you must give in high school or be forced into some obscene punishment,
|
|||
|
920 reliwious furvor without cause, and just plain sillyness. It seems to
|
|||
|
921 me that the regulars have let the outside in, but not much of the inside
|
|||
|
922 out. That is to say, there is much debate, but little creative writing.
|
|||
|
923 If you wish to debate, please d so, but DEBATE your points, rather than
|
|||
|
924 stuffing them down my throat. Besides, apathy is GOOD for you, when taken
|
|||
|
925 in small doses. It calms the mind, pleases the spirit, and relieves the
|
|||
|
926 body, as well as doing the same for friends around you. Much of American
|
|||
|
927 life is literaly burnt from young American bodies, trying to struggle to
|
|||
|
928 be themselves, while being crushed into conformnity. All that is
|
|||
|
929 left in later years is an empty, unfeeling, unintelligent husk that was
|
|||
|
93 0oncu a happy, loving person. With small (read:infrequent) doses of
|
|||
|
931 apathy, the stress from American living goes away for a short while.
|
|||
|
932 The mind is relieved from the burden of multiple responisbilities, as
|
|||
|
933 well as from trying to deal with q rapidly changing environment that does
|
|||
|
934 not slow down as you become older. The body feels good in apathy, simply
|
|||
|
935 because it wishes to rest and not exert itself (which it would normally do
|
|||
|
936 in filing paperwork, riviting a building at 40 heiwhts< or flipping burgers
|
|||
|
937 for money on the side) into exhaustion. The "spirit" (or subconscience,
|
|||
|
938 the term I prefer) "feels" the absense of tension and worry, and invites
|
|||
|
939 the adventureous attitude that comes from being apathetic in an
|
|||
|
940 unvironment that frowns upon it.
|
|||
|
941
|
|||
|
942 To make that paragraph short for you, LIGHTEN UP! If you would simply
|
|||
|
943 take your head out of the hole and look around, I think you would fin
|
|||
|
944 real problems all around you. People tend to ignore these< hoping that
|
|||
|
945 they will vanish with time. Couple this with the past events from
|
|||
|
946 World War II to the present, and I think you might understand what
|
|||
|
947 I'm trying to say: that it REALLY is out of your hands, that is, there's
|
|||
|
948 nothing you ca~ do0for American society except keep to trying to improve
|
|||
|
949 it. Wheather or not someone is elected, it does not matter. Politicians
|
|||
|
950 and Beauracrats have locked most of society out from the ruling position.
|
|||
|
951
|
|||
|
952 And remember, the populqb vde does not count for squat. The
|
|||
|
953 electorial college ultimately decides who shall be in the white house.
|
|||
|
954 Sounds strange to me, as we live in a so-called "democracy", or rule
|
|||
|
955 by the PEOPLE for the PEOPLE, and not for OFFICALS.
|
|||
|
956
|
|||
|
957 Cure Reagan beat Mondale with 49 states, but did you know that he
|
|||
|
958 only beat Mondale by a few million votes, and not the total landslide
|
|||
|
959 that the press had announced? That landslide was the electorial college
|
|||
|
960 pushing Reagan back into the0White House, not the popular vote of
|
|||
|
961 the masses in America. Because my vote does not mean anything, then
|
|||
|
962 I choose not to vote at all. It is a waste of my time and efforts.
