58 Hello, I'm a visitor from the north. I'm sitting here beside my brother, stretching and preening my long black

|
||
62 The Inn was quiet and empty. A distant sound of a flute
|
||
63 could be heard if one listened carefully. The source of the
|
||
64 sound was indeterminate, but seemed to come mainly in the
|
||
65 direction of the rafters. A huddled dark figure in a corner of
|
||
66 the Inn stired. Letting out a small groan, he lifted his head to
|
||
67 see where the sound was eminating. At first, he saw nothing, but
|
||
68 as he watched, a spot began to glow and grow into a small elfin
|
||
69 figure holding a small flute and sitting crosslegged on one of
|
||
70 the support beams. Probably just his imagination, too much
|
||
71 drink, and too long a night. With a small sigh, he sat up and
|
||
72 hugged his knees to his chest. Matted hair covered his
|
||
73 bloodshoot eyes. He rested his chin on his knees, closed his
|
||
74 eyes and breathed a deep sigh.
|
||
75 "So, what's eat'n you hairbrain?"
|
||
76 Startled, Tarn looked up to see the Elfe standing in front
|
||
77 of him. "Are you talking to me?" he asked.
|
||
78 "You don't see anyone else in this dump do you?" the Elfe
|
||
79 responded, "It's a woman isn't it?" "Yes, how did you know?"
|
||
80 Tarn asked. "It always is... You never learn do you? You're
|
||
81 all alike, a sucker for a kind voice and a warm hand. Then when
|
||
82 she leaves you think the world has ended. Well, I got news for
|
||
83 ya buddy boy, the world doesn't give a damn about what you think
|
||
84 or do. You could drop dead right this moment, and the world
|
||
85 wouldn't even bat an eyelash." With that the elfe sat back in a
|
||
86 handy chair and laughed. That was when Tarn noticed that the
|
||
87 elfe's legs were covered with fur, and instead of feet, he had
|
||
88 hooves. "Yeah, What do you know? Do you know what it's like to
|
||
89 find a friend you can talk to and loose her? But then you
|
||
90 probably never have fallen in love with anyone, have you?
|
||
91 Spending all your time dancing and prancing around in the woods
|
||
92 like a bloody fool fairy. Oh yes, I know who you are, Robin
|
||
93 Goodfellow. Always out for a good time seducing people with your
|
||
94 flute and then leave them stranded and alone. Yeah, your a real
|
||
95 fun guy alright."
|
||
96 The elfe roared with laughter at the out burst. "I suppose
|
||
97 you expect me to screem 'Lies! All Lies!', but I won't, because
|
||
98 it is true. You are all such fools, you fall for the simplest of
|
||
99 seductions. What sillyness! And you call me the fool!"
|
||
100 Tarn was only momentarily taken aback by this verbal assult.
|
||
101 "Never the less, it doesn't change my feelings, so why don't you
|
||
102 beat it instead of sitting there telling me what a fool I am."
|
||
103 The elfe got up and with a laugh, snatched up his flute and
|
||
104 danced out the door of the Inn, with music trailing as he went.
|
||
105 Tarn dropped his head to his knees after the elfe had gone
|
||
106 and sighed. "Oh Emer, how I miss you. I wish I knew where you
|
||
107 were. I miss your sweet voice and soothing touch. Where have you
|
||
108 gone? Will I ever see you again? God, how I miss you."
|
||
109 *O* Tarn *O*

111 UUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU
|
||
112 Each time I am borne away I learn more about my imperfect soul-travel skills
|
||
113 and still more about my imperfect soul. I went to a farming village in
|
||
114 South America so remote that the people did not speak of their country but
|
||
115 only of their tribe so I know only that the land was high and dry and that
|
||
116 the air was thin and clear and that I slept without dreaming perhaps because
|
||
117 I was tired and perhaps because the fabric of my life had become a dream.
|
||
118 Someone's mind had entered mine or my mind experienced someone's body or
|
||
119 some dream was having me rather than the reverse. The person I was one with
|
||
120 had such a feel for the earth that I could feel the moods, the will, the
|
||
121 very breath of the soil. We used clumsy tools, unbalanced and dull, but I
|
||
122 learned to get beyond the blisters and bruises to a state of harmony where
|
||
123 I could exert my will on the earth and could in turn receive the deep
|
||
124 power and sweetness of the land. My dream-mate was deeply religious and
|
||
125 every part of life was soaked in art and ritual--a certain way to arrange
|
||
126 food on the plate, to tie the long belts with the mysterious designs, a way
|
||
127 to bathe children to keep them safe, a way to speak to old people. And if
|
||
128 everything was done perfectly, life was safe. The demons of earth and forest
|
||
129 and sky could not penetrate the web of sacred acts. We sought to perfect
|
||
130 our rites, my dreamer and I, in every movement and thought. And so it was
|
||
131 that We were swinging a scythe allowing the weight of the tool, the resistance
|
||
132 of grain to tell us how to move, teaching us perfect humility, perfect grace,
|
||
133 perfect clarity with every stroke so that on one backswing in which we became
|
||
134 the instrument and the earth and air the user, we were suddenly for an infin-
|
||
135 ity and for no time the fulcrum, the point of axis about which revolved many
|
||
136 worlds and light flooded in to my completely inadeqate brain-soul and I lost
|
||
137 not only the moment of clarity, but my fellow traveler as well. I now found
|
||
138 myself in a rocky region near a cave. I could smell food cooking, but could
|
||
139 see no smoke.

|

189 QUIZMASTER; You must admit the naure of your entry was at best dark humor. It is easily interpretable as bigotry. Even if it
|
||
190 was not conceived as such.
|
||
191 TRAVELLER; Do you still frequent Backwater? Lack of response will of course be considered as you not.
|
||
192 THE MAD ACTOR; I enjoyed our discussion greatly. Perhaps it should be done again sometime. I decided against being classy.
|
||
193 MURDER CONSEQUENTIAL; Thank you for considering me, I would enjoy that. I'll follow your lead.
|
||
194 MAN IN GRAY; Would anyone have told you about the shakiness of having one apple continuously?
|
||
195 AARON; If you would, pleas, respond about the forthcoming pente game. Preliminary grid size is 17 intersections by the same.
|
||
196 BW REWRITERS; Please include a mu;liple command character. That would be of immense aid, both in time and well; frustration.

200 Well, well, my last upload seems to have annoyed some people. Unfortunately,
|

201 I can't take credit for its authorship--it's something that has been circulating
|
||
202 rather widely lately. However, I do subscribe the philosophy indicated by it.
|
||
203 Call it bigotry if you want, labels are merely words. To be perfectly
|
||
204 blunt, one of my favorite fantasies is to lead a 'Nam type air strike
|
||
205 on Rajneesh Puram.

206 Mark - if Back Water sickens you so much, you are cordially invited to depart.

219 QUIZMASTER: THOUGH I THOUGHT MARK WAS A BIT OVER EMOTIONAL I ALSO THOUGHT
|
||
220 HE HAD A GOOD POINT. BACKWATER HAS GENERALLY BEEN KNOWN FOR ITS TOLERANCE
|
||
221 AND REJECTION OF BIGOTRY AND PREJUDICE. I DON'T SEE THAT THERE'S MUCH
|
||
222 CONSTRUCTIVE IN YOUR HATEFUL ATTITUDE. PERHAPS IT'S MORE APPROPRIATE
|
||
223 THAT YOU SHOULD GO ELSEWHERE. THERE'S ENOUGH FRICTION HERE WITHOUT
|

224 YOU FANNING THE FLAMES. BIGOTRY AND HATE MONGERING HAVE NO PLACE AT THE INN.

229 Mark: The "hatemongering" that Quizmaster put up is circulating ALL OVER THE CITY!
|

230 I saw the SAME text a week ago. I've talked to others who've seen it elsewhere.
|
||
231 I admit the humor is heavy-handed & in bad taste but....
|
||
232 In any case, while I would not approve of physical assaults on the Rajneesh
|
||
233 people, they ARE obnoxious BIGOTS! Just listen to Sheela or most of their other
|

234 spokesmen.

|

238 Leonard: I agree that there is bigotry on both sides. My objection is
|
||
239 in using the Inn to fan the flames of hatred. It's a terrible situation all
|
||
240 around. I lose patience with those who actively try to make it worse. I've
|
||
241 never been very tolerant of bigitry of any sort. I'm afraid I'm not very
|

242 tolerant of this kind...even if the whole state believes in it.

263 The travelling companion was indeed very hungry. "Have you not eaten recently ?", I queried. "Yes, I have, but I

264 also worked very hard at my last place. I just wish that I could stay in one place for a length of time.", she
|

265 replied.

266 "Perhaps we can work on that together, it would help if you would tell me your story, and what your journey is for."
|

267 "May I have another muffin ?"
|

268 Buttering the muffin, she told me a most incredible story, about just concentrating, and then being there. I
|

269 believe she was telling me the truth, and I am rarely mistaken in such things. I asked, "But, why have you chosen

276 For some reason, I find myself disliking 'neesies also, but am at a loss to back up my feeling. I cannot name any
|

277 one thing that they have done that I wholly disapprove of, unless you count Sheela. Another thought: Listening to
|
||
278 Z-100 this week, I find a lot of satire about 'neeshies... Rajneesh Dangerfield, the debate between John McEnroe an

279 Sheela... the list goes on.

281 Milchar found himself dreaming while wide awake, a startling experience by itself, but the nature of the dreams were
|
||
282 strange also...
|
||
283 (Scene One:) Friar Mossback speaking with an old woman, and the woman teleporting to the south end of the valley. The
|
||
284 Friar follows.
|
||
285 (Scene Two:) A disfigured gentleman finds the Gazebo and levels it with dark emerald blasts of force originating from
|
||
286 his fingertips. He wears a necklace made of a string of Emeralds.
|
||
287 (Scene Three:) Piper is sitting on an outcropping of rock at the west end of the Valley, quite near the Valley
|
||
288 perimeter. Flies off in search of the others.
|
||
289 (Scene Four:) A robed figure is standing amidst a field of transparent pinnacles, seeming to absorb a strange energy
|
||
290 from them.
|
||
291 (Scene Five:) Milchar is drifting in a void, but now there is a hole in the void, milky-white... Milchar is drawn
|
||
292 toward it...
|
||
293 DRAWN TOWARD IT!?!
|
||
294 Milchar came instantly awake, to find himself in the exact situation as he had dremt it. Summoning his will, he found
|
||
295 spell-casting much easier here... A short blast of argent checked his forward momentum, but the two forces meeting
|
||
296 created a temporary gate... Milchar promptly used it, and found himself...
|
||
297 At a door. "Knock three times before entering.", the sign read.

298 Looking about, Milchar found that he was at the very southern point of the Ruby Valley... back in "normal" space!
|
||
299 Milchar had little time to think on this, however, as another explosion rocked the ground. "The Gazebo... leveled, as
|
||
300 predicted. Is this the door I saw in the Great Map? Is THIS my destiny?"
|

301 Milchar crossed his fingers, and knocked thrice.

303 Distrusting and mocking the Rajneeshi is not bigotry. It's good sense. More-
|
||
304 over, Mark, if you are as tolerant as you purport to be, have some tolerance
|
||
305 for us bigots. A true sanyasin scorns sympathy and respects a healthy sense of
|
||
306 irreverence. The satires don't bother the Rajneeshi; why should they bother
|
||
307 you? You're right to try to keep BWMS entries of good quality, but many feel

314 I MIGHT NOTE THAT TOLERANCE TOWARDS OTHERS INCLUDES TOLERANCE TO
|

315 THEIR IDEAS WETHER YOU AGREE WITH THEM OR NOT. BIGOTRY IS A VERY
|
||
316 DIFFICULT THING TO DEFINE IN REAL APPLICATION. DISLIKE OF A GROUPS
|
||
317 ACTIONS AS A WHOLE DOES NOT ENTAIL BIGOTRY. BIGOTRY IS PREDETERMINING
|
||
318 ONES LIKE OR DISLIKE OF ANOTHER PERSON OR GROUP WITHOUT EVIDENCE
|
||
319 TO PROVE THAT DISLIKE. IF YOU HAVE VALID REASONS FOR DISLIKING SOMEONE
|
||
320 OR GROUP, THAT IS NOT BIGOTRY. SO OF COURSE NOW COMES THE PROBLEM
|
||
321 OF DECIDING IF YOUR IDEAS OF EVIDENCE ARE REASONABLE OR NOT. SO
|
||
322 YOU CAN SEE WHAT A DIFFICULT THING BIGOTRY IS TO DEFINE. OF COURSE
|
||
323 IN EXTREEM CASES IT IS EASY TO POINT AND SAY BIGOT. SUCH AS SAYING
|

324 THAT JUST BECAUSE YOUR SKIN IS A DIFFERENT COLOR OR YOU PROFESS TO
|

325 A DIFFERENT RELIGON THAT YOU ARE INFERIOR.

337 The Poet looked around the valley in which he found himself. There was a structure in the distance, just barely
|
||
338 visible. In the other direction was a might mountain range. "Hmm," thought he, "I may be able to find some help or
|
||
339 advice near that building," and he began walking in that direction. Suddenly the building disappeared in a violent
|
||
340 burst of energy. "On the other hand, those mountains look mightily inviting." He turned and began double-timing
|
||
341 towards the tall, rocky horizon.

345 After thouroughly warming his mount's flying muscles the piper was warm
|
||
346 himself. (I hope the local grammarians don't spot that comma fault)
|
||
347 He packed his bedding back into his sporran and tightened his kilt straps
|
||
348 another notch. Peg was getting restless -- the massage had stimulated the
|
||
349 great flying muscles and she indicated her impatience to be going with many
|
||
350 nudges and nuzzles. The piper leaped to her back, just behind her front
|
||
351 shoulders, and locked his knees under the root of her wings. The mighty wings
|
||
352 were stretched out now, twenty feet to each side, the pegasus sweeping them
|
||
353 slowly through the air. Slowly, the pegasus increased her wing sweep; the
|
||
354 huge pinions brushing the ground at the downstroke, moving higher and higher on
|
||
355 the upstroke. Quivering with eagerness, the pegasus began to rear up with
|
||
356 each downstroke, actually moving the wings below her body, causing the piper
|
||
357 to grip her neck. She gave a ringing cry, dropped her front feet to the ground,
|
||
358 raised her wings high, then galloped and leaped off the pinnacle. For a long
|
||
359 moment, she held her wings high, picking up airspeed, then slowly extended them
|
||
360 into the passing air. Slowly, and with exquisite care, she transformed their
|
||
361 headlong fall into a controlled dive, then with a force that tried to push the
|
||
362 piper through her shoulders, she was in straight and level flight.
|
||
363 The flew high, and caught the heat of the morning sun. It burned the grey
|
||
364 haze of sleep from their minds and bodies, and the pegasus and her rider began
|
||
365 to frolic high in the morning sky. Caught up in their play, both were taken
|
||
366 unaware by the explosion below.

|

368 ASLEEP AT THE WHEEL: Though I never considered myself a true Sanyasin,
|
||
369 I certainly can't argue with having a healthy respect for irreverence.
|
||
370 The emphasis being on healthy.
|
||
371
|
||
372 But this is not a situation of healthy irreverence. This is a situation
|
||
373 of people making provocative statements during a very volatile situation.
|
||
374 They are bating for violence, and that is entirely different than
|
||
375 demonstrating healthy irrevence.
|
||
376
|
||
377 If the satires don't bother the Rajneeshis, then why are they carrying
|
||
378 automatic weopons? Would a true Sanyasin demonstrate such "healthy"
|
||
379 irreverence if he knew it might lead to increased hatred, bigotry,
|
||
380 and violence? If so, I take pride in being an unbeliever.

|

385 Laissssez ---I found the time and nature of your return, to the entry mode,
|
||
386 to be interesting. Yes, you are indeed confused. I've not been one of
|
||
387 those engaged in the ravings about the eastern Oregon spiritual commune.
|
||
388 It would seem that the newspapers, TV, radio, and numerous messages on
|
||
389 computers systems around town, have covered most of the considerations
|
||
390 both pro and con. A poor backwoods philosopher, such as myself, would
|
||
391 find little to add to such a weighty mass of utterings. Did you have
|
||
392 some more subtle intent that escaped me? If so speak up Lad. As if to
|
||
393 defy my previous statement, the following observation seems appropriate.
|
||
394 If someone had wished to devise a test of the laws of Oregon, as well as
|
||
395 the tolerance of the population, they would have been hard pressed to
|
||
396 create a more definitive situation than this one. A great deal has been
|
||
397 revealed.
|

398
|
||
399 All ---Backwater was not a place that I would have expected to see some of
|
||
400 the entries of the last few days. To paraphrase a famous writer,
|
||
401 Violence, or advocating violence, is the last refuge of the ignorant.
|
||
402 Certainly many people feel threatened by new ideas and especially new
|
||
403 social concepts. This tendency seems to be more prevalent in those who
|
||
404 have not had the opportunity to travel and experience other cultures
|
||
405 and ways of living. I submit that there are more appropriate responses,
|
||
406 to this fear, than advocating violence.

To those concerned about whether or not we treating the BVog whine and his followers with respect : Lest we all

412

himself advocating the kind of behavior I have witnessed from these people. Their goal has been from the beginn8ing,
|

413
|
||
i believe,to take over a township by sheer numbers an expand from there. As we have all seen from the papers and TV
|
||
414
|
||
this is just what they are accomplishing. I believe that every naturalised or native born US citizen has a right to
|
||
415 speak his or her piece and do as they please, so long as it does not infringe upon the rights of others. By calling
|
||
416 all Oregonians bigots etc.... the demonstration is that they have no respect for anyone who isn't of their party or
|
||
417
|
||
belief. Unfortunately, this smacks of bigotry also. I would have been content to let sleeping dogs lay if it weren't
|
||
418
|
||
for their present apparent course. This has left the area of just buyilding a quiet little commune to taking over
|
||
419 a considerably large portion of the county that they are now established in. And to top it all off they purprot to
|
||
420 be a religous group. Ever hear the saying that politics and religion don't m ix? Well in this case i believe it.

The contoversy over voter registration in Wasco county is a prime example of what I am trying to illustrate. I guess

|
||
447 Just as the alchemist emerged from the hatch a large, winged creature
|
||
448 flew across the face of the sun. As it passed close aboard the port side it
|
||
449 let out a squawk that gave him goose bumps over his entire body. Glancing
|
||
450 down, he suddenly realized that in his haste he had forgotten to put on any
|
||
451 clothes. There he stood naked, shivering in the cool morning mist. It wasn't
|
||
452 modesty but discomfort that sent him diving back down the hatch. Drawing a
|
||
453 blanket around his shoulders, he went over to the port porthole to see what
|
||
454 manner of bird inhabited these northern bays. Sailing across the mist, that
|
||
455 was rising off the water, it looked mysterious and somewhat prehistoric.
|
||
456 Its blue-gray body tapered gracefully to a white face and long pointed beak,
|
||
457 obviously designed for fishing. All this was punctuated by an intense yellow
|
||
458 eye that seemed to look right inside you.
|
||
459 The great bird swooped low over the water, nearing the shore it flared
|
||
460 its wings and landed, standing in the water on long stick-like legs. While
|
||
461 he dressed the practitioner continued to observe this amazing creature. Such
|
||
462 grace and beauty was truly a sight for the gods. Ah!, he suddenly recalled,
|
||
463 it's the legendary Great Blue Heron. The heron was now standing perfectly
|
||
464 still, knee deep in water, looking intently at the water's surface. It was
|
||
465 either admiring its own great beauty, reflected in the mirror surface, or it
|
||
466 was fishing for breakfast. As he was thinking this the heron reached down with
|
||
467 its long beak and plucked a small feather from its chest. It stretched its
|
||
468 long neck to the limit and carefully dropped the feather on the surface of
|
||
469 the water, then began peering intently at the feather. With a sudden flash a
|
||
470 fish broke the surface and grabbed the feather in its mouth. Just as quickly
|
||
471 the heron had the fish in its beak. A quick flick of the head lined up fish
|
||
472 and beak. A few gulps and the fish was transformed into instant breakfast.
|
||
473 He was amazed at what he had just seen. A bird that makes its own fishing
|
||
474 tackle.
|
||
475 "Ahoy Southwind"
|
||
476 "Ahoy Southwind"
|
||
477 Oh, that's right, someone had been calling from the beach. Looking out
|
||
478 the starboard porthole, he could just make out a shape under the trees.
|
||
479 Perhaps he was going to have company on the walk to the Inn.

482 All: I don't know whether other people have noticed this or not, but it
|
||
483 seems that in most of the violent statements about the Senyasin (sp?)
|
||
484 have been directed towards the people themselves rather than the people
|
||
485 you love to hate (Sheela and the big guy). It seems that all too often
|
||
486 the people in general of a disliked group are put on the chopping block
|
||
487 rather than the people that you >>know<< you dislike. Has anyone else
|
||
488 noticed this?

491 SIGNED, PROHA ::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::
|
||
492 A couple of points in response to some of the above entries:
|
||
493 1. I can't judge the Rajneeshies by their beliefs as I am not aware what those
|
||
494 beliefs are. I can judge SOME of the beliefs of their spokesmen (ie we are
|
||
495 all stupid, etc..). From the apparent lack of complaints by Rajneeshies about
|
||
496 the way their spokesmen carry on, I can make the quite reasonable assumption
|
||
497 that they agree.
|
||
498 2. I can also judge by their actions. The Automatic weapons (which showed up
|
||
499 BEFORE any major provocations), the attempts to stuff the ballot box (yyes,
|
||
500 I know they said that it was a coincidence that they quit shipping people
|
||
501 in when it would be too late to register them. Do YOU believe that? If so,
|
||
502 I have this real estate deal....), etc.

507 MiG:
|

508 How is the board going? Got a number yet?
|

509
|
||
510 About the rajneeshie problem. Maybe we could start some nuclear testing in
|
||
511 the southern part of Oregon, right around antolope is a good place to start.
|
||
512 Maybe the russians wouldn't mide have a good accuracy test on the big line
|
||
513 of Rollsroices down there. NUKE THE SUCKERS! A couple napalms? Couple
|
||
514 M1 tanks rolling by could take a few shots. How about we aim a few CBMs
|
||
515 in that general direction and make it into a national land fill?
|
||
516 I know this can be taken a few ways, I don't feel this strongly
|
||
517 about the whole thing but I think they are getting too many advantages.
|
||
518 If you or I went out into our front yard and built a wooden shed for some
|
||
519 tools the state would be right there demanding a permit. If you didn't
|
||
520 have one you would have to tear down your construction. Why don't they
|
||
521 enforce the law in Antalope? We are finally getting on the ball when the
|
||
522 people in the courts do something they shouldn't have done. Like today they
|
||
523 moved the sight of the hearings closer to the Rasjneeshie home. Why?
|
||
524 No good reason, they are BagWons! Why can we let them get away with all
|
||
525 that? It's not all our fault but we must take a little blame for why they
|
||
526 are getting off scott-free. Personaly, I like all of the jokes that are
|

527 going around, they are funny. The views that Sheela has I don't agree with

565 ++++++++++++++++++
|
||
566 "Come in.", a soft voice said behind the door.
|
||
567 Milchar opened the door slowly, and took in the view behind it. The door opened into a large room, perfectly formed
|
||
568 into a shape of a four-sided pyramid. At the crown of the ceiling was a strange rainbow-colored stone, at present
|
||
569 swirling its colors about erraticly. At the other three sides of the room, there were three other doors, each exactly
|
||
570 alike in appearance. The source of the voice was not apparent.
|
||
571 But it spoke again. "Ahhh, a Seeker. Wouldst thy like a token of your accomplishment?"
|
||
572 "I don't understand. What's a Seeker? What have I accomplished?", Milchar queried, shaking his head.
|
||
573 "A Seeker is one who looks for something. Are you not seeking answers, and other things?"
|
||
574 "Yes, Do you have the answers?"
|
||
575 "No. Your second question also has an answer: you accomplished a transition. Can you cast a spell now?"
|
||
576 Milchar concentrated, focused his will, and failed. Another try, another failure. "What...why...", he sputtered.
|
||
577 A necklace of fine Rubies shimmered into being around Milchar's neck. "This is your token. Ward it well. Also, your
|
||
578 spells... they are gone. Only one power still lies in your grasp, but you only know the tip of its abilities.
|
||
579 Farewell..."
|
||
580 The being was silent, or not present. Milchar sighed, another quest to follow. It seemed he followed a large train of
|
||
581 quests. Milchar was getting tired.
|
||
582 Abruptly, the necklace began to glow. A trail of crimson light flew from the centerstone in the necklace through the
|
||
583 door Milchar had come in, up and out of sight. "I suppose I follow that..."

586 Don't give the bawgwan too much credit for original thinking. All the rajneeshies did in registering dead
|
||
587 people was copy a fine tradition made famous by the democrates and the Daily machine in Chicago many years
|
||
588 ago. Just ask Richard Nixon what he feels about the voting practices in the city that Mike Royko hails from.
|
||
589 For all the bad things you can say about the Rajneeshies, one thing you can't say about them is that they
|
||
590 are stupid. When you consider that a vast majority of the followers of the bawgwan are professional people soured
|
||
591 on the opacity of their lives, it is not hard to imagine how they have so far outsmarted and out maneuvered the
|
||
592 good people of Oregon. The 1001 Friends of Oregon has been able to do very little in their efforts to check the
|
||
593 expansion of Rajneesh Puram. Not until the big guns in Salem opened fire did Shiela and company start hitting snags.
|
||
594 If you stand back and clear your head of hate and bigotry, and look and see what they have accomplished in only
|
||
595 a couple years, albeit they have used every legal dirty trick in the book, it is actually quite remarkable. They
|
||
596 have used the media like no one since the afore mentioned President Nixon. They have dodged more bullets in
|
||
597 court than a 60 Minutes camera crew. And even when Bawg himself is "hauled" into court, he gets away with
|
||
598 calling his questioners "stupid". They have shown incredible gall, and an unbelievable amount of deceit to boot. And
|
||
599 yet not until very recently have they really been stopped in their tracks. A remarkable record if you ask me. How do
|
||
600 they do it? Again look at their makeup. Look who they have on their side. The same thing we have on our side. The
|
||
601 US constitution. A document written nearly 200 years ago. A document that should be burned according to Ma Prem
|
||
602 Sunshine. A document that has saved their collective behinds more times than one cares to admit. To quote Micheal
|
||
603 O'keefe in the movie "Night Shift"..."Ain't this country great!"

606 If being at the top is cause for congratulations, then being at the bottom???
|
||
607 Actually, it's not too bad. I don't need to be creative, as there is not
|
||
608 enough disk space to work up a good head of steam, and the chances of a
|
||
609 masterwork getting trashed near 100%
|
||
610 Actually, I think that whooz'erface from that generally despised joint may
|
||
611 have proved her point about "stuipid" and "bigot". She has at least 90% of
|
||
612 the vocal people demonstrating these traits in abundance.
|
||
613 It reminds me of the story of the red monkey. It seems that a group of
|
||
614 biologists painted a monkey red then returned it to its habitat. Why? Just
|
||
615 to see what happened. What happened, you ask? The other monkeys in the band
|
||
616 tore it to pieces. It seems that putting on a red costume elicits the same
|
||
617 response in the monkey's "more advanced" cousins.
|
||
618 pppppppppppppppppppppppppppppppppppppppppppppppppppppppppppppppppppppppppppppp

619 Joe: I haven't changed my position at all, I think you must be confused.
|
||
620 La Homme: I think your last entry was the most well thought out, intelligent,
|
||
621 perceptive arguement you've ever made. You made a good arguement without
|
||
622 getting nasty. I am impressed. Mark
|
||
623 the people who enter messages on this disk(excluding me of course) seem to be a little lacking in thier minds.
|

624
|
||
625 occasionally you find a person or two who acually knows what they are talking about but generaally it is just
|
||
626 garbage!!

628 It seems to me that all of the persons who have written to berate the
|
||
629 Rajneeshees are prejudiced. And I HATE people like that!
