Note: With this disk, the vandalism started to become a serious
|
|||
|
|
problem. The entire group of original messages on this disk
|
|||
|
|
had been deleted. The result was that BWMS was placed into
|
|||
|
|
protected mode. That means that once a line was entered in the
|
|||
|
|
system, it could not be changed. There were still periodic junk
|
|||
|
|
(empty lines, and foul language) filling up the disk, but a group
|
|||
|
|
of dedicated users were helping to keep things cleaned up.

71 Deborah -- I still haven't gotten to back issues, but sometime!!! L-5 is
|
|||
|
|
72 one of the interesting points in the moon's orbit about the earth. In the
|
|||
|
|
73 erased messages, the bard explained it quite well, i'll try to repeat it as
|
|||
|
|
74 best i can. In the earth-moon system there exist 5 points where the gravity
|
|||
|
|
75 of one is EXACTLY balanced by the gravity of the other. These are the
|
|||
|
|
76 Lagrange points ... L-1 through L-5. L-1, L-2, and L-3 are arranged on a
|
|||
|
|
77 line through the centers of the earth and moon. L-4 and L-5 are in the
|
|||
|
|
78 moon's orbit -- ahead and behind by 60 degrees. If you think of the earth
|
|||
|
|
79 and moon as being holes in a smooth surface, the gravitational forces around
|
|||
|
|
80 sorry, depressions in a smooth surface -- the force of gravity is the
|
|||
|
|
81 depth of the depression. L-1, L-2, and L-3 are the tops of hills. If you
|
|||
|
|
82 leave something there, it will continue to drift and move away from that
|
|||
|
|
83 point. L-4 and L-5 are at the bottom of wrinkles in the cosmic blanket.
|
|||
|
|
84 They are points of positive stability and anything left near them will drift
|
|||
|
|
85 into them. This makes L-4 and L-5 desirable building points in space.
|
|||
|
|
86 The L-5 society is dedicated to building a colony at the L-5 point. They
|
|||
|
|
87 have done exhoaustive research and planning on this and it is possible NOW!
|
|||
|
|
88 The investment is enourmous -- and the payback even more so. I'll try to
|
|||
|
|
89 get you an address (any help from anyone?) so you can send for their
|
|||
|
|
90 information. These are LARGE scale dreams!
|
|||
|
|
91 Mikey -- even though I appreciate the necessety, it sure is hard not o be
|
|||
|
|
92 able to go back and change mistooks in the previous line. Oh well...

93 pppppppppppppppppppppppppppppppppppppppppppppppppppppppppppppppppppppppppppp

|

95 SORRY, I ONLY DID IT AFTER THE SECOND ATTEMPT. UNTIL SOMEBODY OUT THERE
|

|
|||
|
|
100 Now I see why some people want less gun control, so next time the Inn
|
|||
|
|
101 is zapped,,.....
|
|||
|
|
102 Of course, stiff gun control would reduce the number of people hurt with
|
|||
|
|
103 guns, since most of it is due to accidents; however it would have very
|
|||
|
|
104 little effect on what people are afraid of: criminals using them. For
|
|||
|
|
105 proof of the efficacy of gun control look at New York, which has one of
|
|||
|
|
106 the stiffest gun control laws around, yet their crime rate using guns is
|
|||
|
|
107 still rather high. (Except for murders commited "in heat of passion".)
|
|||
|
|
108 Texas has a very high rate of murders using guns, but such things as
|
|||
|
|
109 armed robberies aren't much more common, even if their gun control laws
|
|||
|
|
110 are the most lax in the US. In London the crime rate using guns is
|
|||
|
|
111 steadily rising, until even Bobbies now are often armed; this in the
|
|||
|
|
112 face of very stiff laws.
|
|||
|
|
113 But let's admit it, the arguements about gun control have very little
|
|||
|
|
114 to do with safety, and a lot to do with POWER, or more expilcitly, who
|
|||
|
|
115 will have it over another person. It is such a nice feeling to be able
|
|||
|
|
116 to tell someone else what he MUST do. A gun is a symbol of power, and
|
|||
|
|
117 being able to deny someone else the right to have one is power. All the
|
|||
|
|
118 other arguements for gun control also imply the restriction of all
|
|||
|
|
119 dangerous tools, or dangerous games, like cars, or worse car racing, or
|
|||
|
|
120 maybe mountain climbing, or high school sports (which kill more people
|
|||
|
|
121 than guns do), or ... But if enough people do it, even if logic says
|
|||
|
|
122 otherwise, it is OK, or if it feeds our egos (like the local team
|
|||
|
|
123 winning) it is OK.

|
|||
|
|
315 Ah yes - the constitution specifically enumerates the right of every
|
|||
|
|
316 idiot to own a gun. Let me dig out my copy. There we go, a little
|
|||
|
|
317 dusty but none the worse for neglect. Of course you all have a copy
|
|||
|
|
318 of your own, don't you, so you can just follow along. Here we are,
|
|||
|
|
319 the bill of rights. I think the second amendment is what we want.
|
|||
|
|
320 Now, just in case someone doesn't have a copy, I'll quote from mine.
|
|||
|
|
321 "A well regulated MILITIA, being necessary to the security of a free
|
|||
|
|
322 State, the right of the people to keep and bear arms shall not be
|
|||
|
|
323 infringed." Caps mine, of course.
|
|||
|
|
324 I can see that at a quick glance, especially if taken last in
|
|||
|
|
325 the sixth grade, It would appear that our venerated founding fathers
|
|||
|
|
326 had wished us to be able to indescrimanently own the firearm(s) of
|
|||
|
|
327 our choosing. But a literal interpretation, the kind the NRA loves
|
|||
|
|
328 to espouse, ties the ownership of arms directly to an organized
|
|||
|
|
329 militia. No where do I read that all citizens are guaranteed the
|
|||
|
|
330 right to kill whomever they choose, or any othe interpretation
|
|||
|
|
331 equally as silly. And as to the earlier comment that cars should
|
|||
|
|
332 be outlawed, when was the last time you drove you gun to work ?
|
|||
|
|
333 I don't care what anyone says, A handgun is only good for killing
|
|||
|
|
334 poeple. Rifles are a different matter, but no one is trying to get
|
|||
|
|
335 rid of them for justifiable reasons. If one is able to buy an item
|
|||
|
|
336 that is made expressly for killing other people, and do this with a
|
|||
|
|
337 clear conscience, then that fact alone should preclude their abilty
|
|||
|
|
338 to own a handgun.
|
|||
|
|
339 So there; nyah,nyah.
|
|||
|
|
340 Mr. Tim
|
|||
|
|
341 Greetings again. Bo, just how is it that you happen to know me???? Hmm?
|
|||
|
|
342 Interesting. At any rate, as for guns, little needs to be said that if
|
|||
|
|
343 Guns are outlawed, only outlaws will have guns, no? (Author unknown).
|
|||
|
|
344 A little aside: Methinks that Mr. Jackson (You DO know who he is, don't
|
|||
|
|
345 you????) has shot himself in the foot with his many and varied comments
|
|||
|
|
346 ranging from derogatory comments on Jewish people to preaching style.
|
|||
|
|
347 Will be an interesting thing to see how many votes he ends up getting.
|
|||
|
|
348 Why is it that I turn on my tv and someone is asking for MORE MONEY?
|
|||
|
|
349 Doesn't Uncle Sam have enough to go around, or are guns more important
|
|||
|
|
350 than people? Yet another telethon was on last night with pitiful attempts
|
|||
|
|
351 to beg, borrow and steal money from the American public. ENOUGH ALREADY!
|
|||
|
|
352 When will we see the end of this?????? Until later, then. Fgrep Whiskey

354 Mr. Tim, Suggest you study both the Constitution AND history a little
|
|||
|
|
355 more. Also, you shouldn't pick out only those parts that you like. It
|
|||
|
|
356 must be taken as a whole, and considered in the intent in which it was
|
|||
|
|
357 originaly written, not a definition to fit your own desires. First the
|
|||
|
|
358 term Militia; Shall we look up the definition? 'An army composed of
|
|||
|
|
359 CITIZENS called out in time of emergency.' Agreed that the
|
|||
|
|
360 Constitution does not say which types of arms are allowed, but if you
|
|||
|
|
361 were to study it further, you would find that it says that if
|
|||
|
|
362 something is not indicated within the constitution, that does not mean
|
|||
|
|
363 that it is not allowed, but rather the opposite. I noticed that though
|
|||
|
|
364 you capitalized the word MILITIA, you convienently ignored the rest of
|
|||
|
|
365 the statment "the right of the 'people' to keep and bear arms shall
|
|||
|
|
366 not be infringed." Note that it speeks of the people, not of just a
|
|||
|
|
367 conscript army. Also, though the handgun is used to kill people, so
|
|||
|
|
368 is a rife. When was the last time you heard of someone using an M16
|
|||
|
|
369 to shoot a dear? On the other hand, it is a very uncommon thing for
|
|||
|
|
370 someone to kill somebody with a blackpowder pistol.
|
|||
|
|
371 Also, the point being made with the car earlier, was that it is the person
|
|||
|
|
372 behind the wheel that kills, and not the car, just as it is the person
|
|||
|
|
373 behind the gun that kills, and not the gun.

515 Piper: if L-4 & L-5 are gravity "wells", then why arn't they full of space
|

|

516 junk? in fact, why don't they have an atmosphere? over the eons, one would
|
|||
|
|
517 expect to have to satellites (natural) in those positions...
|
|||
|
|
518 One might also observe that since those points are availiable in limited
|
|||
|
|
519 quantities (2) (except Morrison), why would a planet wish to clutter them up
|
|||
|
|
520 with fixed objects? These points would obviously make excellent "holding"
|
|||

521 areas for spacecraft, yes?
|
|||
|
|
522 We can even get creative: Some advanced planet, eons ago, spotted our
|

|
|
523 humble planet, and realizing that earth would, some day, support an advanced
|
|||
|
|
524 culture (such as our own?), zoom off through the void of space to meet space
|

525 ship earth as sort of a cosmic welcome wagon. Before departing, a quick

526 neutrino scan of our neighborhood revealed 2 PERFECT places to park their
|
|||
|
|
527 space cruiser.....so perfect they set the co-ordinates into the guidance
|
|||
|

528 system before they leave Grekotznik (name of advanced planet). Imagine
|

|

529 their dismay at finding an expanded version of sputnik in their parking
|

|

530 space (pun). They have to park the space cruiser SOMEWHERE......the

568 Aaron and Deborah -- Celestial mechanics is a little bit over my head,
|
|||
|
|
569 so most of the stuff I'm quoting you is from popularizations-- but here goes
|
|||
|
|
570 nothing. The case of the earth-moon-third object is the well-known
|
|||
|
|
571 (in circles that compute orbits of bodies) three-body problem. For th
|
|||
|
|
572 rest of us -- simple solutions for more than two bodies orbiting one anoher
|
|||
|
|
573 in free space do not exist. Add a third body and a simple set of equations
|
|||
|
|
574 accurately describe the orbital motion of three or more bodies, exept in
|
|||
|
|
575 one particular case -- where the third body is small in comparison to te
|
|||
|
|
576 other two and occupys the L-4 and L-5 positions. An L-4 and L-5 position
|
|||
|
|
577 should occur for each pair of bodies in our solar system -- for the
|
|||
|
|
578 sun-earth combination, for the sun-venus, for the sun-mars, for the
|
|||
|
|
579 sun-jupiter and so forth. In fact a group of asteroids known as the
|
|||
|
|
580 Trojans occupy the L-4 and L-5 points in the sun-jupiter system. The forces
|
|||
|
|
581 at these points are INCREDIBLY SMALL. The gravity wells at these points
|
|||
|
|
582 are more of the magnetude of cm/week2. However, the earth-moon points do
|
|||
|
|
583 contain small amounts of debris. One of the main proponents of the L-5
|
|||
|
|
584 society is a man called ??? O'Niel (first name got lost) thus in some of
|
|||
|
|
585 our present science fiction the presence of O'Niel space habitations, his
|
|||
|
|
586 contribution to the movement. Aaron -- yes, I agree that these points are
|
|||
|
|
587 the logcal staging areas for inter and intra-stellar traffic. When th
|
|||
|
|
588 Whimseys from planet Whim drop by for a visit, they most likely will wait
|
|||
|
|
589 there for an invitation to descend. In fact ... ever think about how big
|
|||
|
|
590 that area of the sky is? And just how small and insignificant a sperical
|
|||
|
|
591 craft a mile in diameter would be at that distance? Now if I wanted to
|
|||
|
|
592 keep an eye on a bunch of primitives, I'd use an asteroid, hollow it out,
|
|||
|
|
593 paint it black, and set it at either the L-4 or L-5 points. When they
|
|||
|
|
594 became civilized enough to come out and talk, then we'd think about contact.
|
|||
