|
||
20 If I make make a comment (something I normally don't do -- especially something
|
||
21 as volatile as politics is -- but I will let loose to opinions. 1) To
|
||
22 Mr. Interceptor, while I don't necessarily agree with many of your
|
||
23 postulations, I do agree completely with your last message. As many
|
||
24 on the system who were around a couple of years ago remember, I did
|
||
25 not vote for Reagan or Carter, not liking either alternative. Nor
|
||
26 have I liked Reagan since, and this latest action only goes to prove
|
||
27 in my own mind that I was right.
|
||
28 2) In regard to the Cubain missile thing, you stated that there were only
|
||
29 two possibilities, one that there weren't any missles, and two that there
|
||
30 were but that the government wasn't acknowledging their existance.
|
||
31 There is a third possibility that you seem to refuse to accept. and that
|
||
32 is that there are indeed missiles there and the goverenment does not
|
||
33 know about it. That is a possiblity. I agree it has a low probability,
|
||
34 but there is still the probability, and it must be considered in any
|
||
35 scenario. Of course the obvious advantage of such a location is two
|
||
36 fold, one is that it would be almost impossible to stop any missiles
|
||
37 launched from Cuba into the southern states since there would be no
|
||
38 real time to react to the launch. And of course on a larger scale,
|
||
39 land based launches would be far more accuarate. All of this is why
|
||
40 Russia tried to set up a missile base there back then. Whether they
|
||
41 have succeded in later years, who is to say. Doubtful, but a possibility.
|
||
42 They do however have a refueling base there.
|
||
43 Having said that, I'll go back into hiding as is my whaughnt.

44 ******************************** CISTOP MIKEY ****************************
|
||
45 Ted, er Mr. Interceptor, can I ask you a question? Are you a skater dude too?
|
||
46
|
||
47 ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
|
||
48 THORTHORTHORTHORTHORTHORTHORTHORTHORTHORTHORTHORTHORTHORTHORTHORTHORTHOR
|
||
49 THOR wishes to acknowledge that CISTOP MIKEY is most probably correct.
|
||
50 As THOR has been around this blue green earth for a few score years he has
|
||
51 seen much in the way of weapons and their modernization.
|
||
52 During the days of Nikita and Kennedy, the missiles that were cut off and sent
|
||
53 back to mother Russia were of the 5 and 10 megaton capacity. They were very
|
||
54 cumberson and needed stationary bases to be launched towards their targets.
|
||
55 They were not very effective in that they were especially slow in rising from
|
||
56 those bases and would have been easily recognized by our now sophisticated
|
||
57 monitoring devices. The probability of their reaching their targets in the
|
||
58 good old U.S. of A. were one in three.
|
||
59 Still not very good odds especially if you happened to be that particular ONE
|
||
60 that was not intercepted. But since
|
||
61 the time of the infamous BLOCKADE we
|
||
62 have signed a treaty with the USSR in
|
||
63 which we agreed to do away with ALL antimissiles. Hard to believe, huh? But
|
||
64 sadly true. We HAVE NO ANTIMISSILES anywhere, anymore to try and stop an
|
||
65 incoming attack. To make matters worse, with the advent of the CRUISE type
|
||
66 missile which is only 1/5th the size of the original 60's missiles, it is
|
||
67 virtually impossible to detect their incoming as they have the ability to
|
||
68 fly at heights of only 60 to 100 feet from the surface of this planet on their
|
||
69 way to a 10 to 20 megaton bone tanning
|
||
70 party. The Russians have their own
|
||
71 variety of this kind of missile and it is of the mobile type which means it
|
||
72 does not need a fixed land base to launch from.
|
||
73 The missile can be shipped in the guise of crated farming supplies to Cuba
|
||
74 and assembled in any large garage or warehouse. It can be mounted on a 2 1/2
|
||
75 ton truck and transported to any launch
|
||
76 site when needed. It is an almost certainy that those missiles are present in
|
||
77 Cuba with our own Cruise missiles stationed in Europe on Mother Russias door
|
||
78 step. With Cuba being the USSR's closest
|
||
79 ally to the USA they would have been moronic not to put those kind of missiles
|
||
80 their in order to
|
||
81 void the threat of ours in Europe. Not only is our intelligence departments
|
||
82 failures in their abilities(as shown
|
||
83 recently with the Reagan fiasco where
|
||
84 no two departments knew what the others were doing)but they are inept in their
|
||
85 methods of carrying out even the most
|
||
86 minor clandestine activity. Remember,
|
||
87 they couldn't even find where the
|
||
88 terrosist are keeping the hostages in the middle east. So not to sound too
|
||
89 pessimistic, I do not believe that the
|
||
90 Russians do not have missiles in CUBA
|
||
91 but I do not believe that they would
|
||
92 attempt to use them on a first strike
|
||
93 basis. I feel they are their ACE in the hole in case we imperialistic capitalists
|
||
94 decide to attack them first from our European bases. They would not and could
|
||
95 not advertise or use them as bargaining
|
||
96 pieces as they can admit of their existence without fear of more reprisals
|
||
97 against Fidels Fools. THOR apoligizes
|
||
98 for talking of such morbid matters for
|
||
99 so long of a time.

146 ---
|
||
147 After reading all of the last disk and this disk up to this point, I have come
|
||
148 to my own opinion. I am extremely tired of political discussions and prolific
|
||
149 screen-graphic drawings by 10-calls-a-day skater dudes. If I want to engage
|
||
150 in some fascinating political discussion, I need only go to school. If I wish
|
||
151 to hear from hard-a** skater dudes, I'll go down to the local gang hangout.
|
||
152 Don't get me wrong. I am absolutely, unequivocally (1 l or 2?) saying that
|
||
153 such comments are acceptable occasionally (2 l's, definitely), but I have
|
||
154 personally grown tired of them in the last 10 minutes. Maybe some of you
|
||
155 skater dudes know what I'm talking about... it's like listening to a
|
||
156 Led Zeppelin tune for the 256th time! Or making love for 20 hours straight.
|
||
157 (Note: This was to catch the attention of twits and self-proclaimed studs.)
|
||
158 I'm not going whine. I know that doesn't work. I'm just asking for a little
|
||
159 variety. This does not mean to fill up Backwater with stories and otherworldly
|
||
160 names. Even that gets old after awhile. I know all this is useless, but
|
||
161 maybe, just maybe someone will disagree with me and respond, thereby forcing
|
||
162 the change I so desperately want. Unfortunately, I won't be able to come back
|
||
163 to see what's happened until mid-January. (L'homme, Voyeur, or French Toast
|
||
164 please insert French equivalent of such is life here). I realize that you are
|
||
165 more than likely getting bored with my ravings. GOOD!!
|
||
166 Now you know how I feel.
|
||
167 ---More aliases than you can imagine or remember.
|
||
168 @@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@
|
||
169 Yea, me too, that's what I was going to say. I don't particularly care what the
|
||
170 Soviets have got up their ..... Big deal if the Soviets have got missiles on
|
||
171 Cuba, does it really matter? So we'll all get blown to bits, BIGL!!!!!!!!!!

|

183 I have just been lurking, of late. I think the discussion has been
|
||
184 very good, although I am somewhat surpised at the switch from Middle
|
||
185 East weaponry to Cuban. Does anyone out there believe that perhaps the
|
||
186 time has come to change the presidency ? (The office, not just the
|
||
187 current occupant.)
|
||
188 My proposal would be to limit the CEO to 1 term of six years. It seems
|
||
189 that with the exception of FDR, six years is as long as anyone can remain
|
||
190 coherent as president in this century.
|
||
191 The second item would be to have both a President and perhaps a Premier.
|
||
192 One for domestic policies, which Reagan seems to be somewhat adept at,
|
||
193 and one for foreign relations, where Mr. Reagan seems to have his head
|
||
194 in a surprising anatomical position.
|
||
195 What do you think ? Would it be too cumbersome ?
|
||
196 How about the Canadian version, where a chief of state is elected until he
|
||
197 is defeated ? (If that is correct, something about a vote of 'no
|
||
198 confidence'.)
|
||
199 Just some thoughts.

254 SYSTEMS OF ROMANCE NO.3
|
||
255
|
||
256 A room in an Elizabethan period house.
|
||
257 Diamond pane leaded windows. Snow falling
|
||
258 outside. Log fire blazing in the stone fireplace.
|
||
259 The old gentleman in a dark green tweed suit
|
||
260 coughs nervously as he opens the door into a
|
||
261 lead lined aquarium room. The first time this
|
||
262 door has been opened since he placed an object
|
||
263 in the tank in 1948. He was a young man then.
|
||
264
|
||
265 The object was a radioactive isotope wrapped in
|
||
266 human skin. And it was submerged in an
|
||
267 aquarium full of organic fluids with a small
|
||
268 electrical current running constantly through it.
|
||
269 This arrangement was left undisterbed in the
|
||
270 dark sealed room until now.
|
||
271
|
||
272 An incredible stink meets him as he goes into the
|
||
273 blackness. He coveres his nose and mouth with a
|
||
274 hankerchief while he gropes for the rusted light
|
||
275 switch. The room is illuminated under rust
|
||
276 speckled fluoresent lights.
|
||
277
|
||
278 He sees a delicate pale fungus has developed
|
||
279 and spread over the ceiling and walls. The big
|
||
280 aquarium is now only partly full of a black
|
||
281 highly concentrated liquid. There is a half
|
||
282 submerged shape inside.
|
||
283
|
||
284 The doctor snaps on a pair of shiny rubber
|
||
285 gloves and throws an earth wire into the tank.
|
||
286 There is a black crackel of released energy. He
|
||
287 reaches down into the tank, brushing off the
|
||
288 accumulated sediment from the shape. He rolls
|
||
289 the thing over to inspect it and there is a flash of
|
||
290 broken gold among the glistening slime. The
|
||
291 thing looks like a small ancient Egyptian
|
||
292 mummy, thin and dark with fluid. Its limbe hang
|
||
293 from the tank into a shower.
|
||
294
|
||
295 The stink of many stagnant years spreads as the
|
||
296 warm needle spray cuts through the layers of
|
||
297 organic soup. Pieces of a filmy material,
|
||
298 tarnished gold on one side and black on the
|
||
299 other, break off and slide like wet gelatine down
|
||
300 the drain, as the old man eagerly washes off all
|
||
301 traces of the foul sediment.

|

316 Ahhhhhh! The board is finally back to normal.
|
||
317 First, no I am not a skater dude, a simple comparison of writing styles
|
||
318 should tell that. I see you had to dig back into the files to find out my REAL
|
||
319 name, an action that is almost unheard of on backwater. I guess I have been
|
||
320 stirring up trouble, then.
|
||
321 Also, I think it is very probable that there are missles on Cuba, but I
|
||
322 think that we are keeping quiet about it. It is possible, yes, that we don't
|
||
323 know about it, but if we don't know about missiles that close to our borders,
|
||
324 then we might as well go home and go to bed. I still feel that sub launched
|
||
325 missiles in WWIII would make Cuban missiles insignificant.
|
||
326 I remember reading an analysis of the procedures that the President would have
|
||
327 to go through in case of a sudden launch. From his desk in the White House, a
|
||
328 special limo would rush him at top speed to the nearest airport(I believe Dulles)
|
||
329 and a warmed up helicopter would rush him to the airport out of town where a
|
||
330 jet would race him off to Wyoming. Or, a helicopter on the White House lawn
|
||
331 would race him to Dulles.. Anyway, the fastest route out of the White House
|
||
332 took twelve minutes before he was out of the city. This was after many trial
|
||
333 runs and experimenting. A sub launched missile would take an estimated 10
|
||
334 minutes at the longest to reach Washington. The general conclusion was that
|
||
335 if the President was in Washington and WWIII broke out then he was dead.
|
||
336 So from a stratigic point, what does it matter if Cuban missiles could
|
||
337 destroy the country. As soon as the nerve center goes, you've won.

363 Political discussions are interesting, because none of us are professional
|
||
364 politicians. We can't hide behind a facade of acronyms and sacred knowledge
|
||
365 like any discussion of computers, cars, stereo's, foriegn countries, etc.
|
||
366 would contain. In one sense of the word, we are all on equal ground. Then
|
||
367 again, I read some of the comments: The 'who cares', the 'it does not matter',
|
||
368 the typical apathetic head-in-sand attitude that so many users here appear
|
||
369 to have. People who offer such opinions are only further proving that they
|
||
370 have nothing useful to say. The can't add anything positive to the conversation
|
||
371 so they add something very negative. It is always easier to come up with
|
||
372 insults that it is to think of something constructive. Many people are taking
|
||
373 the easy route. If you don't like the discussion, don't make a pain-in-the-

385 WHO CARES?

386 ++++++++++++++++++++++
|
||
387 Boy, I've never seen such a pack of political animals. I agree with the fellow who wants to know what a skater dude is.
|
||
388 Also I want to know the rest of the story and what the man found in the tank.
|
||
389 And finally...Did you know that at 4:00 am on Wednesday December 31st, our
|
||
390 time, millions upon millions of people will be gathering in cities, towns and villages around the world (including Portland)
|
||
391 and including Russia to pray, meditate, cogitate, think, visualize, etc. on
|
||
392 world peace. There should be well over 50 million people simultaneously
|
||
393 concentrating on healing the planet of strife at that time. In Portland
|
||
394 there will be a group meeting at the Northwest Service Center
|
||
395 18th and NW Everett (I think - check phone book) starting at 3:30 am on
|
||
396 December 31st. It is free to all. Or take the time out on that morning
|
||
397 in your own home to make a move for world peace FOR US ALL!!!!

|
||
401 Well, here I am again, no thanks to the call-waiting, which I how have
|
||
402 disabled. I thought that I might call up and reveal some more of the
|
||
403 story. It seems that no one else has any thing of any literary interest
|
||
404 to say. Let's try and do a little better at this. Ok? Anyway, about my
|
||
405 political views, if we get nuked, which we will not, we will all be dead,
|
||
406 or as good as dead, so, who cares about missles, what we should really
|
||
407 worry about is a possible invasion or just ( this is more likely ) a
|
||
408 continuing cold war and arms race. However, who am I to say this, because,
|
||
409 I am but a mere speck...

411 SYSTEMS OF ROMANCE NO.3 (cont.)
|
||
412
|
||
413 The creature beneath resembles a thin, ten year
|
||
414 old boy with wet golden hair, and water
|
||
415 wrinkled skin like a feotus. The doctor dries him
|
||
416 off in heavy towels and places him on a sterile
|
||
417 trolley after massaging his skin with lanolin to
|
||
418 smooth it out.
|
||
419
|
||
420 There appears to be something wrong with the
|
||
421 left side of the boy's face and shoulder. In the
|
||
422 dimness of the room his face resembles an
|
||
423 antique paintings from a damaged religious
|
||
424 Icon, one side of it is corroded by a faint
|
||
425 irradescent bluish glow.
|
||
426
|
||
427 The doctor is deeply disturbed by this
|
||
428 unexpected imperfection, but nevertheless still
|
||
429 excited by the result of his long experiment.
|
||
430
|
||
431 With a small catheter tube he expertly clears the
|
||
432 boy's nose, mouth and ears of mucous, then
|
||
433 slides him into the body of a complex
|
||
434 life-supporting and monitioing system.
|
||
435
|
||
436 The machine hums and pumps, and after a
|
||
437 while the boy begins to breathe. His pale face
|
||
438 flushes delicately as his heart suffuses his skin
|
||
439 with blood.
|
||
440
|
||
441 After some hours, when he is at last certain that
|
||
442 the boy can function independantly the doctor
|
||
443 lifts him out of the machine and carries him into
|
||
444 a warm, darkened bedroom.
|
||
445
|
||
446 In the rustling dimness, winter birds sining
|
||
447 outside the curtained windows, the doctor is
|
||
448 quiet moved to tears by the boy's sleeping
|
||
449 religious aspect. The eroded edges of that
|
||
450 delicate face and shoulder seem unbearably
|
||
451 poignant.
|
||
452 "My own flesh and blood, all this time, all this
|
||
453 time and still not perfect, so damaged, so
|
||
454 damaged."
|
||
455 The doctor whispers softly, realising with
|
||
456 suprise that this is the first time he has felt any
|
||
457 strong emotion for many, many years.

562 Well, I can see that finals week is taking it's toll. It looks like the
|
||
563 political discussions are winding down. Is anyone yet in the mood for
|
||
564 adventuring?
|
||
565
|
||
566
|
||
567 The son entered the fathers small room, moved over to the edge of the bed
|
||
568 and sat down in the chair facing his father's face. Heavily lined and old, it
|
||
569 had many years of life stored away, and deep grey eyes looked out.
|
||
570 "You know that I am going to be dead before the morning, Eldrin."
|
||
571 "No, father, you will get better, the doctor said!" insisted his son.
|
||
572 "The time for lying is over, Eldrin. I feel Death near, I have been burning
|
||
573 up inside for the last week. I know the time is come."
|
||
574 The old man spoke simply, with no emotion.
|
||
575 "It has not been permitted for you to know, yet, but years before you were
|
||
576 born I did a favor for the Tecontar. In return, I was given a ring that had a
|
||
577 matching mate to it."
|
||
578 Here the man removed the ring from his left hand, and pointed out the ripples in
|
||
579 the edge of one side of the ring.
|
||
580 "these ridges correspond exactly to the ridges on an otherwise identicle
|
||
581 twin of it. If they are placed together with the ridges interlocking with other
|
||
582 the rings will display the symbol of the High house of the Tecontar. That
|
||
583 house is now no longer in existence, but there may be decendents from it.
|
||
584 The mate of this ring was kept as a heirloom in that house. At the time that
|
||
585 I was given it, I was told to pass it on to my son When he came of age. This
|
||
586 you have not yet done, but I must give you this ring before I die. There is a
|
||
587 prophecy on these rings that will be fufilled when they are once again joined,
|
||
588 one that I know but cannot tell you. You must take this ring, and find the
|
||
589 mate, to fufill my promise to the Tecontar."
|
||
590 "Who are the Tecontar?" Eldrin asked.
|
||
591 The old man smiled, "zThey live in the far east, go to the city of Roan and
|
||
592 ask about them. There you may still find news of them."
|
||
593 "Take about you certain companions of yours who might be interested in
|
||
594 this errand. You may search a long time."
|
||
595 At this the old man closed his eyes.

620 Mr. Interceptor: Last I heard the copter would take him to Camp David. They havequite a bunker there. There are rumors of
|
||
621 another shelter under the white house. The only time that they'd have to do this is if there was no reason to expect the
|
||
622 attack. Otherwise, in times of crisis the president stays close to shelter. And all he needs to do is send one signal to
|
||
623 launch *our* attack. Plus there are contigencies that allow sub commanders to launch without orders. I suspect that if
|
||
624 Washington went, SAC would launch orders or no orders!
