31 sees a Berserker's Beer Mug as half empty rather than half full. A

39 Wow! You guys should of seen this. A 7up can sitting on my desk suddenly
|
|||
|
40 and for no apparent reason (it was empty) violently imploded. After months
|
|||
|
41 of queries and research, I have discovered that when the sheets of metal are
|
|||
|
42 flattend to be cut, not all of the stress is taken out of them (it occurs in
|
|||
|
43 the cooling process) and that it is possible for a part of a soft drink can
|
|||
|
44 to be made of a piece that will snap back to form. Just think if I had just
|
|||
|
45 opended the can and then it imploded (UCK).

96 reflection of his own face. Turning towward it, he could see the contortions

100 "What is this? Some sick mind game?" he thought, the emotions still tearing

121 himself, "the EYES!" The sweat continued to flow from his brow as his
|
|||
|
122 frustration grew. "The is simply a mind game for the ConTroller to play. This
|

124 into the eyes of the reflection on the wall to his right, he saw the layers of

125 flesh, muscle, nerves and bones fade away. Soon, it was gone, and his trance

126 was broken for him to continue down the corridor... to seek the ConTroller.

176 Hidden Issue: A.C.L.U. vs. C.I.A.
|
|||
|
177
|
|||
|
178 With both presidential candidates running toward the center (when
|
|||
|
179 their campaigns are not busy running negative ads), neither seems willing to
|
|||
|
180 own up to, campaign on or elaborate the core difference that distinguishes
|
|||
|
181 them--namely, the difference between the C.I.A., which George Bush directed,
|
|||
|
182 and the A.C.L.U., whose card Michael Dukakis carries.
|
|||
|
183
|
|||
|
184 Consider that, as Speaker of the House Jim Wright pointed out, David
|
|||
|
185 MacMichael, a former C.I.A. analyst, told the World Court under oath that the
|
|||
|
186 C.I.A.'s anti-Sandinista actions were undertaken in the hope that "the
|
|||
|
187 Nicaraguan government would clamp down on civil liberties within Nicaragua,
|
|||
|
188 arresting its opposition."
|
|||
|
189
|
|||
|
190 There you have it. The C.I.A. is for covert action, the A.C.L.U. is
|
|||
|
191 for civil liberty. The C.I.A. is in the disinformation business, the A.C.L.U.
|
|||
|
192 is in the freedom of information business. The C.I.A. is involved in the
|
|||
|
193 manipulation of the democratic process, the A.C.L.U. is dedicated to
|
|||
|
194 protecting the democratic process. The C.I.A.'s mission requires deception,
|
|||
|
195 the A.C.L.U.'s mission requires revelation. The C.I.A. believes that the ends
|
|||
|
196 justify the means, the A.C.L.U. believes that the means can't be disentangled
|
|||
|
197 from the ends. The C.I.A. takes it as its duty to subvert alien ideologies,
|
|||
|
198 the A.C.L.U. argues for the right to hear them. The C.I.A. plays the
|
|||
|
199 assassination game, the A.C.L.U. opposes the death penalty on principle. The
|
|||
|
200 C.I.A. finds the Bill of Rights an inconvenience, the A.C.L.U. regards it as
|
|||
|
201 inviolate.
|
|||
|
202
|
|||
|
203 Even those sympathetic to the A.C.L.U. may be reluctant to frame a
|
|||
|
204 campaign in these terms because the union, after all, has only 250,000
|
|||
|
205 members. To these faint hearts we say, How many members/employees does the
|
|||
|
206 C.I.A. have? The answer is that it's a secret, and that, after all, is the
|
|||
|
207 point.

217 Yeah, what he said.

219 I truly beleive that the people who make the ballots up should put in an

220 option to vote someone OUT of office, rather than an unwanted candidate IN just
|
|||
|
221 to get the OTHER unwanted candidate OUT. If I was to vote now, it would simply
|
|||
|
222 be to keep the other from gaining office. My opinion does not lie in favor of
|

223 either candidate...

229 Dave had been traveling for several straight hours now, and the trip was
|
|||
|
230 making him weary... All he wanted now was a good bed to lie on. But in fear
|
|||
|
231 that the ConTroller might catch him in his sleep, he fought the urge away. He
|
|||
|
232 popped a couple of caffeine tabs, and kept going.
|
|||
|
233 Soon, though, the weary traveler was dozing off while he walked. So he
|
|||
|
234 gave up the fight, and leaned against a wall, rolling up his pack to make a
|
|||
|
235 nice fluffy pillow. "What do you think you're doing?" asked a voice from
|
|||
|
236 behind Dave's trail.
|
|||
|
237 "Do you think you can just curl up in a cute little ball and go to sleep
|
|||
|
238 just anywhere you want?" the voice demanded... "Wha?" asked Dave, being as
|
|||
|
239 distinguished as he could in his current state. He turned his tired neck around
|
|||
|
240 so that he could see back down the corridor, and there stood a large, armoured
|
|||
|
241 creature, with a large fluffy mustache, and thin greyish fur covering its face
|
|||
|
242 and extremities. "Wha," he asked again, trying to sound violent.
|
|||
|
243 "Ok, get up... You're not in any condition to talk, so just get up..." said
|
|||
|
244 the furry creature. "How long," asked Dave, "have you been following me?" The
|
|||
|
245 furry creature wiggled its nose and said, "Oh, 'bout 8 hours or so... Been
|
|||
|
246 tryin' to stay outa sight 'till ya nodded off. You know, easier the catch."
|
|||
|
247 Dave had to ponder this for a moment. He hadn't seen anything since the battle
|
|||
|
248 with the ConTroller's trick wall, so he wondered if this was another one...
|
|||
|
249 He yawned loudly, and then posted the classic interrogative, "What's yer name?"

303 **************************************************************
|
|||
|
304 When a plague in the densely populated Rachelis System races out of
|
|||
|
305 control, help from the Enterprise is enlisted in the medical emergency.
|
|||
|
306 But while preparing to transport samples of a deadly plasma plague from
|
|||
|
307 a Federation research station to a site where a suitable antidote can be
|
|||
|
308 developed, the crew is stunned by an unexpected announcement: Counselor Troi
|
|||
|
309 is pregnant.
|
|||
|
310
|
|||
|
311 According to Troi, a glowing white light impregnated her while she was asleep.
|
|||
|
312 Dr. Kate Pulaski, the ship's new Chief Medical Officer, confirms Troi's
|
|||
|
313 prognosis and reports that the fetus will reach full term within 36 hours.
|
|||
|
314 Not knowing the true origins or intent of this mysterious child, Picard puts
|
|||
|
315 the crew on security alert. But when Troi gives birth to a boy named Ian,
|
|||
|
316 he appears to be completely harmless -- although he amazes his mother and the
|
|||
|
317 crew when he grows from an infant to an eight-year old child in one day.
|
|||
|
318
|
|||
|
319 Meanwhile, Wesley reluctantly prepares to leave the Enterprise and join his
|
|||
|
320 mother, who has departed to become head of Starfleet Medical. Full of mixed
|
|||
|
321 emotions, Wesley decides to stay with the ship after receiving encouragement
|
|||
|
322 from a new crew member named Guinan. Later, when Wesley discusses his plans
|
|||
|
323 with Picard, the Captain agrees to let the young ensign remain as long as his
|
|||
|
324 mother permits it.
|
|||
|
325
|
|||
|
326 However, a sudden crisis with the plasma plague puts everyone's future in
|
|||
|
327 doubt. It seems that a contaminated specimen of the hazardous strain has
|
|||
|
328 inexplicably begun to grow on the cargo deck due to radiation from an
|
|||
|
329 unknown source on board. Dr. Pulaski reports that, at its current growth rate,
|
|||
|
330 the plague could wipe out the ship's entire population within two hours.
|
|||
|
331
|
|||
|
332
|
|||
|
333
|
|||
|
334 Unknown to all, Ian is the source of the radiation, and when he realizes this,
|
|||
|
335 the remarkable child decides to sactifice his life to save the crew.
|
|||
|
336
|
|||
|
337 As a heartbroken Troi looks on, Ian dies and his body reverts to its original
|
|||
|
338 state -- a glowing white life-force entity, which tells Troi that Ian had come
|
|||
|
339 to her to learn more about humans by experiencing life among them. Once the
|
|||
|
340 entity leaves the ship, the threat is averted and the crew continues their
|
|||
|
341 humanitarian mission.

346 QUAYLE ON DEFENSIVE DOWN TO THE WIRE
|
|||
|
347
|
|||
|
348 WASHINGTON - Dan Quayle's vice presidential campaign has been haunted by
|
|||
|
349 his past, doubts about his qualifications and the perception he has led an easy
|
|||
|
350 life in which the truly tough problems were solved by mom and dad.
|
|||
|
351 Controversy marred his elevation from relative obscurity to the national
|
|||
|
352 spotlight as George Bush's running mate. And it stymied his attempt to show the
|
|||
|
353 country he was more than "just a pretty face."
|
|||
|
354 The notion that the Indiana senator was born with the proverbial silver
|
|||
|
355 spoon, never having to struggle for money or power, is borne out by his past.
|
|||
|
356 As Quayle once told an interviewer, "Life has been very good to me. I never
|
|||
|
357 had to worry about where I was going to go."
|
|||
|
358 Quayle, 41, has constantly had to defend himself against charges he is
|
|||
|
359 unqualified to be a heartbeat away from the presidency. In response, he touts
|
|||
|
360 his chief accomplishments in 12 years in Congress: co-authorship of a job
|
|||
|
361 training act and detailed work on the Intermediate-range Nuclear Forces Treaty
|
|||
|
362 and other arms-control issues.
|
|||
|
363 Before his Oct. 5 debate with Democratic vice presidential nominee Lloyd
|
|||
|
364 Bentsen, Quayle frequently added another point, saying he has about the same
|
|||
|
365 legislative experience that John F. Kennedy had when he sought the presidency
|
|||
|
366 in 1960. That line was dropped after Bentsen's devastating rebuke: "Senator,
|
|||
|
367 you're no Jack Kennedy."
|
|||
|
368 Quayle denounced as "side-events" questions about his military service,
|
|||
|
369 academic record and personal life, but his campaign has never completely
|
|||
|
370 escaped them. Signs reading "Chickenhawk," "Who died in your place, Danny?"
|
|||
|
371 and "Sissy Rich Kid" confront him from one state to another.
|
|||
|
372 Quayle's grandfather was the conservative, self-made publishing magnate,
|
|||
|
373 Eugene Pulliam. In 1955, Quayle and his family moved from his native
|
|||
|
374 Indianapolis to Phoenix, where his father, James, ran Pulliam newspapers and
|
|||
|
375 joined the John Birch Society. The Quayles returned to Indiana in 1963 and his
|
|||
|
376 father became publisher - and young Dan eventually became associate publisher -
|
|||
|
377 of The Huntington Herald-Press.
|
|||
|
378 His performance at DePauw University was average. Graduating in 1969 during
|
|||
|
379 the Vietnam War, Quayle would have been eligible for the draft but instead
|
|||
|
380 sought admission to the National Guard. He explained to reporters that he did
|
|||
|
381 "what any normal person would do ... call home to mother and father and say,
|
|||
|
382 `I'd like to get in the National Guard."'
|
|||
|
383 One of Congress' more ardent hawks, Quayle insists he wasn't trying to dodge
|
|||
|
384 the draft - just to be able to attend law school - and that no undue pressure
|
|||
|
385 was applied to get him into the Guard. But a retired major general acknowledged
|
|||
|
386 that he asked that a space be held for Quayle after a retired Guard commander -
|
|||
|
387 a Pulliam employee - called to recommend him.
|
|||
|
388 The future politician also had to do some explaining about how he managed to
|
|||
|
389 get into Indiana University School of Law when his grades clearly were lacking.

405 made the buck stop and also all the human commerce in Hiroshima and

406 Nagasaki. I'm sure Mikhail is also capable of stopping the buck -
|

407 that is stopping it going to our pocket. He has already made the plan

408 for our buck to make a detour to the rocking chairs of those fat lady

414 Gee, how touching. I suppose the fact that I grew up poor makes me less then

|
|||
|
416
|

417 maybe I'm over generalizing. The rhetoric of the right tends to get me into
|

418 a bit worked up. I suppose I really should ignore it.
|
|||
|
419
|
|||
|
420 The selfishness and self centerdness of the right is legendary. It's much
|
|||
|
421 easier to accuse everyone else of being lazy then it is to admit that you
|
|||
|
422 might have taken advantage of them.
|
|||
|
423
|
|||
|
424 I remember almost getting kicked off of a local right wing board because I
|
|||
|
425 told somebody who had made a fascist-racist statement to 'grow a brain
|
|||
|
426 moron.'
|

427
|

428 maybe thats the difference between this board and that board. Here I'll
|

429 tell you what an idiot I think you are. There I'd be if fear of being
|
|||
|
430 kicked off for it.
|

431
|

432 In closing I'd like to say that for every admited wrong there are atleat

433 400 denied wrongs.

440 Attacking others usually is considered part of a deep inferiority
|
|||
|
441 complex. At least by AMA standards.
|
|||
|
442
|
|||
|
443 Accusing others of wrong-doing because they are not perfect is one
|
|||
|
444 thing. Accusing them and then saying that you are without flaw is another.
|
|||
|
445 With that last sentence, the immaturity of the Dukakis attack message
|
|||
|
446 shines like a thermonuclear blast. If the candidate you back (I would
|
|||
|
447 presume Bush for the moment) is so superior, then why fear the other
|
|||
|
448 candidate winning the election? By logical choice, that candidate that
|
|||
|
449 you would vote for would win in a landslide election. This and other
|
|||
|
450 problems glare out at me. I'm personally tired of seeing fanatics
|
|||
|
451 bash away at what little is left to human life. I apply this both to
|
|||
|
452 the so-called "Left" and "Right" extremities; both seem a little
|
|||
|
453 half-assed in their concepts anyway. If you claim to be a member of
|
|||
|
454 the human race, then GET OFF YOUR FAT ASS AND LOOK AROUND. You migt
|
|||
|
455 learn something - like how to love, pity, fear, and understand other
|
|||
|
456 human beings, who are (more or less) in the same predicament that you
|
|||
|
457 are in - that you exist in an environment not of your own chooseing,
|
|||
|
458 that others face the same problem, and that you can either work
|
|||
|
459 together and share what little there is, or work against each other
|
|||
|
460 to gain all that there is. Or, if your mind is of above-avarage
|
|||
|
461 material, then you would do a little of both - help yourself, but
|
|||
|
462 help others, too. Or, if this concept is beyond you, you can leave
|
|||
|
463 the members of this board alone and go bully someone else - I'm
|
|||
|
464 NOT going to take it from you, nor anyone else. Criticizing opinions
|
|||
|
465 are one thing; stating "facts" and forcing your opinions on others
|
|||
|
466 isn't right. And people who do that sometimes get hurt, if you get
|
|||
|
467 the hint. Either tone it down, or face the consequences of your
|
|||
|
468 own actions.

476 Hagbard: I don't mean to take sides, but I must say that you have posed an

477 interesting point. And a true one... The fact is, that our hashing about (or

478 "theirs" as you might put it) is not above that of the candidates you or they
|

479 support. The issues are THERE, ignored and undisputed, but they are THERE...
|

480 Personal opinion is simply NOT disputable. One shall have one's own opinion

484 I do not let such ponderings bother me. I have had my share of character

485 assassinations, so many that, in fact, this could not POSSIBLY bother me... But

486 I can see your offense to the approach to the subject. I must agree that those

487 who wish to force their opinion upon others should find other places to roam,

490 Recently, several mathmaticians got together to examine the mathamatical
|
|||
|
491 creation of the universe. They found that in order for the "Big Bang"
|
|||
|
492 theory to be valid, the "Bang" had to be timed to within 10^35 of a second
|
|||
|
493 or the universe would end up collapsing upon itself or simply disintegrating
|
|||
|
494 into nothingness. Also for the next second afterwards certain occurances
|
|||
|
495 would have to be brought about that could not have been done "naturally".
|
|||
|
496 In other words, the universe could not have just "happened" but the
|
|||
|
497 evidence suggests it to be created under labratory conditions by some
|
|||
|
498 intelligent being.

515 "Werfle. Don't laugh, " said the creature to Dave, "it's really my name. I
|
|||
|
516 really think that my parents named me that as a joke, but anyway... " Dave
|
|||
|
517 yawned again, stood up and faced him. Realizing that Werfle was two feet
|
|||
|
518 taller than he, Dave raised his eyebrows and said "Hmmp... Not a likely match,
|
|||
|
519 eh?" Werfle wiggled his nose and said "Not really... hehe. What's yer name?"
|
|||
|
520 "Dave. What are you doing down this far?" he asked. "I'm seeking the
|
|||
|
521 ConTroller. As I saw in your confrontation, you've had experience with him as
|
|||
|
522 well. When the ConTroller took over the complex, my family was killed as a
|
|||
|
523 demonstration of their 'sheer power', or so they called it. I have set out to
|
|||
|
524 gain my revenge upon the Controller. Why are you after it?" Werfle rattled.
|
|||
|
525 "I've been sent out by the underground council to seek and destroy it. I live
|
|||
|
526 in a city below the surface where the families of the city have fled to find
|
|||
|
527 refuge from the anarchy of the ConTroller. We stumbled upon the location of
|
|||
|
528 this defense complex three months ago, and traced down the map, but to find the
|
|||
|
529 ConTroller itself is another task."
|
|||
|
530 And so it seemed that David J. Whitmoir had made a friend. The fact that
|
|||
|
531 his name was as laughable as "Werfle" seemed to make no difference to him. He
|
|||
|
532 could be as appreciative as the next guy.

540 The fact that I become so uptight is probably a sign of some sort of i
|

541 nferiority complex. I'll really try in the future to be less emotional.
|

542
|

543 I should add that I could attack the left on some subject just as vehamently.
|

555 The wanderer had stepped through the gate by the Inn and emerged into a grassy
|
|||
|
556 field.
|
|||
|
557
|
|||
|
558 Sheep and goat grazed near by and in the near distance he could see a small
|
|||
|
559 hill atop which sat a large brown building.
|
|||
|
560
|
|||
|
561 He strode confidently forward avoiding the occasional dropping. At the botom
|
|||
|
562 of the hill stood a sign that read "Life intoxicates". He smiled somewhat
|
|||
|
563 sadly at this and started up the hill.
|
|||
|
564
|
|||
|
565 The only sounds coming from within the building were the low groans and snoring
|
|||
|
566 of overindulgence. Not wishing to wake the occupents he sat down on the
|
|||
|
567 step and began to meditate.
|
|||
|
568
|
|||
|
569 The face of the veiled one appeared in his mind. There was a mystery there. His
|
|||
|
570 gaining of the orb had shown him that. He sensed that it was not within his
|
|||
|
571 powers to gain the answers and so for the time being pushed the face from his
|
|||
|
572 mind.
|
|||
|
573
|
|||
|
574 Next he saw the face of his master. Dead now many years. Though the bound of
|
|||
|
575 aprenticship had been brocken long ago he still felt like the aprentice.
|
|||
|
576
|
|||
|
577 There was one other face, though he could not quite make it out. It was a
|
|||
|
578 face that had haunted him for as long as he could remember. And yet it was
|
|||
|
579 always indistinct.
|
|||
|
580
|
|||
|
581 He felt sure that it was the face of a women, but whom it belonged to eluded
|
|||
|
582 him.
|
|||
|
583
|
|||
|
584 There was a sound behind him and he broke from his revarie. Looking back he
|
|||
|
585 saw a bleery eyed old man.
|
|||
|
586
|
|||
|
587 "Damn, somebody stole the paper again. Carl! (yet another alias of the
|
|||
|
588 wanderer.) , ouch! I'm getting to old for this. Come in lad, the brothers
|
|||
|
589 are just arising for the morning meal."
|
|||
|
590
|
|||
|
591 "Thank you Ben, It's been a good long time since I've been by, how are things
|
|||
|
592 at the monastary?"
|
|||
|
593
|
|||
|
594 "Oh, not to bad. We gained two new recruits this month. brings our numbers to
|
|||
|
595 45."
|
|||
|
596
|
|||
|
597 "That's good to hear, is the dancing one still here?"
|
|||
|
598
|
|||
|
599 "I think I heard him leave early this morning, must have been 9 or so."
|
|||
|
600
|
|||
|
601 "I'd like to talk to him before I leave."
|
|||
|
602
|
|||
|
603 "Suit yourself" Been mumbled. "Come on in. Breakfast's on."
|
|||
|
604
|
|||
|
605 And so the wanderer entered the monastary.

631 There's one glaring problem with that Big Bang was done in a lab by an
|

|
632 intelegent being theory, it makes the incorrect assumption that the physica
|
|||
|
633 laws that we have today were in effect then. This is incorrect. They
|

|
634 weren't even remotelly as we know them. The laws as we know them only cam

635 into effect when our current universe came into effect. (i.e. *after*
|

|
636 that instant in time that the big bang began.)
|

637 Thus you cannot apply the rules of the universe as we know it to that

675 Hello, Cassandra here......being amused by the political mud-slinging.
|
|||
|
676 Not too much different from what you hear in mundania, is it?
|
|||
|
677 That should be a warning signal. I'm trying too figure out how to
|
|||
|
678 vote right now, myself. The way I see it, I have these options:
|
|||
|
679
|
|||
|
680 1) Vote for Dukakis
|
|||
|
681 2) Vote for the Democrat (this is NOT the same thing, although
|
|||
|
682 operationally equivalent in this case)
|
|||
|
683 3) Vote for Bush
|
|||
|
684 4) Vote for the Republican
|
|||
|
685 5) Vote for some other valid candidate (smaller party or independent)
|
|||
|
686 with whose positions I could best agree
|
|||
|
687 6) Vote for a bogus candidate (i.e. Randee of the Redwoods)
|
|||
|
688 7) Vote for none of the above
|
|||
|
689 8) Not vote
|
|||
|
690
|
|||
|
691 Voting for a party, rather than a candidate, is okay if there is really a
|
|||
|
692 difference in platform and support base, and the party officials can make
|
|||
|
693 the individual in question toe the line once in office. Such is not the
|
|||
|
694 case.
|
|||
|
695
|
|||
|
696 The two major parties are two different flavors of vanilla. I can not
|
|||
|
697 support either party, nor the candidates they offer to us. They all have
|
|||
|
698 serious flaws, in my personal opinion (which I needn't defend here). The
|
|||
|
699 fact is that all of us here, I suspect, feel the same way to some degree.
|
|||
|
700
|
|||
|
701 Other candidates divide the vote, because they tend to stand for one point
|
|||
|
702 or special interest group--I don't want a President in office whose only
|
|||
|
703 concern is to stop abortn (or lower taxes, or save the whales). Even
|
|||
|
704 a laudable goal does not make a President.
|
|||
|
705
|
|||
|
706 Voting for a bogus candidate or "none of the above" registers ones
|
|||
|
707 displeasure with the system and its current choices, but it really does
|
|||
|
708 nothing to change it. It seems to me a waste of a vote.
|
|||
|
709
|
|||
|
710 It is a citizen's duty to vote--if you don't vote, you shouldn't complain
|
|||
|
711 about the outcome. The problem is that I'm NOT complaining about any
|
|||
|
712 given outcome, I'm complaining about the options. How can I, in good
|
|||
|
713 conscience, vote for someone in whom I can not believe? How can I not
|
|||
|
714 vote, when that is a citizen's duty. Okay folks, what do you think?

733 WASHINGTON (AP) -- The chairman of Latvians for Bush has stepped down from
|
|||
|
734 his post in the wake of allegations that he belonged to a World War II group
|
|||
|
735 with Nazi ties, the Bush campaign announced Thursday.
|
|||
|
736 Akselis Mangulis, who was also a volunteer with the vice president's
|
|||
|
737 Coalition of American Nationalities, has "suspended his membership" in Bush's
|
|||
|
738 ethnic group, said Alixe Glen, a spokeswoman traveling with the Republican
|
|||
|
739 presidential nominee.
|
|||
|
740 Mangulis is the eighth person connected with Bush's ethnic council to step
|
|||
|
741 down following reports of connections to Nazi or anti-Semitic groups.
|
|||
|
742 Editors at The Philadelphia Inquirer said Thursday night that they were
|
|||
|
743 planning a story on Mangulis' membership in the Latvian Legion, a group which
|
|||
|
744 had connections to the German SS, the quasi-military unit of the Nazi Party, fo
|
|||
|
745 Friday's editions.
|
|||
|
746 Bush campaign spokesmen in Washington and on the campaign trail told
|
|||
|
747 reporters early Thursday evening of Mangulis' "suspension."
|
|||
|
748 Bush spokesman Mark Goodin said the Mangulis' family confirmed the
|
|||
|
749 association, but said he was conscripted in that group against his will.
|
|||
|
750 "The charges lodged against Mangulis deserve to be clarified by him away fro
|
|||
|
751 the Bush-Quayle campaign," said Goodin. "As of this time, his volunteer
|
|||
|
752 membership in the Coalition of American Nationalities is suspended as he pursue
|
|||
|
753 that right."
|
|||
|
754 But a woman who qnswubed the phone at the Mangulis residence in Andover,
|
|||
|
755 Mass., denied that he had been asked to resign from Latvians for Bush or had
|
|||
|
756 been a member of a group sympathetic to the Nazis.
|
|||
|
757 "He was not resigning and he will run until Mr. Busx is elected," said the
|
|||
|
758 woman who identified herself as Mrs. Mangulis but refused to give her first
|
|||
|
759 name. "Bush campaign did not ask him to resign. He did not resign because he di
|
|||
|
760 nt have reason to resign.
|
|||
|
761 "He is not in any group in0Wob|d War II," said the woman, who spoke with a
|
|||
|
762 heavy accent. "He was a young man and he is not a Nazi and he is not
|
|||
|
763 anti-Semitic. I'm telling you honest and truthful. All are lies, never did he
|
|||
|
764 resign, never was it no shame."
|
|||
|
765 She0sait the family is seeking legal assistance and "I am going to take
|
|||
|
766 action for this harassment."
|
|||
|
767 She said her husband was not home.

833 Forgive me for being confused as to who it was that said he believed the

834 account in Genesis 1:1, but whoever you are--this is to you!
|
|||
|
835
|
|||
|
836 You will find that even Wen.01:1 does not say there was nothing. In fact
|
|||
|
837 it says the earth was there, but it was without form and it was void, and
|
|||
|
838 water covered the face of the earth. If you were to look across the endless
|
|||
|
839 expanse of water, you, too, would say thad0the0earth was without form and
|
|||
|
840 void. So, if there were already something there for Somebody to begin on,
|
|||
|
841 who's to say whether it was formed by a big bang or not?

901 I was the one with the creationist view. Like I said in my message in

902 which I expressed these views, it is just my opinion. Which means that Y had

903 no intentions of arguing it, or convincing you of or proving to you the views I

905 To put one thing perfectly straight, the NIV version states "In the

906 beginning, God created the heavens and the earth." This might suggest to a

907 beleiver that there was NOTHING before then. Although the earth was formless
|

908 at the time, and there was no light, before "the beginning", nothing could be

909 more obvious than that statement. the word "CREATE" means "TO MAKE FROM

943 Scientists already know how to create the universe mathematically. Some
|
|||
|
944 speculate that we will be technically able to do it in about 3000 years.

945 We simply can't compress 25 pounds of matter (this is wxat the universe is

950 On Creation- How could you forget Einstein? One conclusion that derives from
|
|||
|
951 his famous equation, E=mc^2, is that matter can be `rodused from energy,
|
|||
|
952 just as tremendous energy can be produced from matter. The atomic bomb
|
|||
|
953 proved the latter. For this reason, astrophysicist Josip Kleczek stated:
|
|||
|
954 "Most and possibly all elementary particles may be created by materializq-
|
|||
|
9%5 tion of energy."
|
|||
|
956 Hence, there is scientific evidence that a source of limitless energy
|
|||
|
957 would have the raw material to create the substance of the universe. The
|
|||
|
958 Bible writer Isaiah wrote: "Raise your eyes high up and see. Who has sbeated
|
|||
|
959 these things? It is the One who is bringing forth the army of them [stars]
|
|||
|
960 even by number, all of whom he calls even by name. Due to the abundance of
|
|||
|
961 dynamic _energy_, he also being vigourous in _power_, not one of them is
|
|||
|
