Will "xmas" decorations go up in stores this

Columbus Day? 911? Labor Day?

Hi, welcome to ATI issue 327. What's new with you?
|
|
The other night I sang "Solidarity Forever" with
|
|
a couple hundred flight attendants. That was neat.
|
|
|
|
The Native American Music Awards are coming up.
|
|
That's very cool. The MTV awards were stupid this
|
|
year. Just kind of dumb.
|
|
|
|
Midwest Express stock ended the week down .04 and
|
|
Boeing was -.36 How did you do?
|
|
|
|
http://flag.blackened.net is down. Should go back
|
|
up pretty soon.

|
Check out this 'zine. Hope you like it.

Preaching Ignorance
|
|
a poem
|
|
by KAT
|
|
|
|
What new morals do you have
|
|
That my own mother don't?
|
|
Do you know something great
|
|
That I can't, or I won't?
|
|
Without stolen prestige
|
|
Tell me what have you earned,
|
|
Behind false integrity
|
|
It seems you have not learned.
|
|
Preached to me on my life
|
|
Yet you live without conscience
|
|
Claimed status with God
|
|
In mindless alliance
|
|
You tell me I'm godless
|
|
And therefore I'm lifeless
|
|
While your peers chase me down
|
|
With Church Souvenir Pricelists
|
|
You tell me I'm making
|
|
A dangerous dance
|
|
Yet your whole argument's founded<
|
|
On close-minded ignorance.

REMEMBER ANYTHING YOUR ELDERS TAUGHT YOU?
|
|
|
|
Yes, we do this every year or so. New readers will
|
|
appreciate this more, but maybe people who've already
|
|
seen this idea will get something new out of it too.
|
|
|
|
GRAMPA: (mom's dad) If you want a long healthy life,
|
|
every morning the moment you wake up you should stare
|
|
up at the ceiling or sky and daydream, meditate, wander
|
|
in your thoughts for a minute or two, hour or two - as
|
|
much as you can, really. No matter how busy your day is
|
|
going to be, give yourself this.
|
|
|
|
BUBBE: (dad's mom) If you have access to soap and clean
|
|
water, wash your hands really well at least once a day.
|
|
If you only have access to water, wash them at least once
|
|
each day. If you don't even have access to water, at least
|
|
wipe them really well on something fairly clean.
|
|
|
|
POPPOP: (father's father) Gather up your first hundred
|
|
thousand dollars and then relax.
|
|
|
|
NANA: (mom's mom) Learn Spanish.

VERY SHORT REVIEW OF NYTIMES.com
|
|
|
|
Monday 3+ good stories. I think I'll start reading
|
|
it every Monday and scrap the rest of the week.
|
|
Someone in there on Mondays is doing a splendid
|
|
job.
|
|
"Web's real money is in the gutter," gives mention
|
|
to Project Gutenberg as well as interviewing Bruce
|
|
Sterling. Hmmm.

How to Leave the Planet
|
|
|
|
1) Phone NASA. Their phone number is (713) 483-3111.
|
|
Explain that it's very important that you get away
|
|
as soon as possible.
|
|
|
|
2) If they do not cooperate, phone any friend you
|
|
may have in the White House - (202) 456-1414 - to
|
|
have a word on your behalf with the guys at NASA.
|
|
|
|
3) If you don't have any friends in the White House,
|
|
phone the Kremlin (ask the overseas operator for
|
|
0107-095-295-9051). They don't have any friends
|
|
there either (at least, none to speak of), but
|
|
they do seem to have a little influence, so you
|
|
might as well try.
|
|
|
|
4) If that also fails, phone the Pope for guidance.
|
|
His telephone number is 011-39-6-6982, and I gather
|
|
his switchboard is infallible.
|
|
|
|
5) If all these attempts fail, flag down a passing
|
|
flying saucer and explain that it's vitally important
|
|
you get away before your phone bill arrives.

SCHOOL'S IN. DRIVE RESPONSIBLY
|
|
|
|
Have you opened your "For Him" or your "For Her" bag
|
|
at college yet?
|
|
|
|
Did it have the smelliest Sure Advantage sample in it?
|
|
Yikes! I thought I lived near Proctor & Gamble again...
|
|
WAKE ME UP FROM THIS NIGHTMARE!!!...
|
|
|
|
How about Davidoff's Cool Water Eau De Toilette? I'll
|
|
try that and get back to you. If it's as bad as the
|
|
Polo Sport last year, I'll go right back to the Polo
|
|
green bottle.
|
|
|
|
How about the handy (not really!) disc organizer that
|
|
was nothing more than a psychodelic-looking cardboard
|
|
book with a huge ad on each page? Tide, Old Spice,
|
|
Pantene. WHAT IS THIS, MT FUCKING V??? Olay? Sure?
|
|
Hold still, I think I'm going to vomit in your handbag.
|
|
|
|
OK. 3M's got this Command Adhesive thing going on.
|
|
I'll try these too. The claims are:
|
|
|
|
holds on strongly
|
|
comes off cleanly
|
|
no damage to walls or posters
|
|
no staining walls.
|
|
|
|
The best thing since sliced bread.
|
|
|
|
Or fun-tak
|
|
|
|
Oh wow. A $5 off coupon for Nad's For Men. Lemme guess.
|
|
The regular price is like $20 bucks, right? Stop lying
|
|
to me! Tell me it's 25% off, not some vague number!!!
|
|
I'm a human, not a lab rat! Oh I am? Hmmm. What else
|
|
you got over there you can sell me on???

Methinks this'll be a wild "Xmas" shopping season, eh?
|
|
Labor Day, Columbus, Halloween, Thanksgiving, Christ-
|
|
mas. All attached to shopping days of increasing
|
|
importance, revenue-wise.
|
|
I expect each to miss the mark miserably. And that's
|
|
going to make for some serious grumpiness among the
|
|
men-in-suits.
|
|
Oh, I left out the newest big shopping day. 9-11.
|
|
It's sure to fall right into line too. Not quite as
|
|
lucrative as Columbus, but a little better'n Labor.

Do you not find it the least bit ironic that Jimmy
|
|
Hoffa is generally considered by most people to be
|
|
buried underneath a football stadium and the people

of Guatemala just unearthed about 800 of their friends
|
|
and relatives underneath a soccer field? They vanished

about the same years.

Victims of downright wrong US foreign and domestic

policies, perhaps?

The real reason Colorado College is likely to reject

TWO 'GRAFS FROM MUMIA
|
|
|
|
What phollows is from a recent column MAJ wrote. I
|
|
won't trouble you here with the entire article. If
|
|
you want it, just keyword search any three unique
|
|
words from the excerpts, you'll find it all over
|
|
the net. (at least you can as of publication here)
|
|
|
|
As for the American insistence on the establishment
|
|
of a state that doesn't have roots in terrorism,
|
|
Americans are insisting on a purity that it did not
|
|
possess at its inception. The ruthless and monstrous
|
|
genocide waged against indigenous "Indian" nations,
|
|
from Wounded Knee to Sand Creek, is a history of
|
|
terrorism that has few parallels in the world. The
|
|
same could be said for the racist exploitation of
|
|
millions of Africans for centuries.
|
|
|
|
Neither the U.S., nor Israel, wants "peace." They
|
|
want the silence and acquiescence of the oppressed
|
|
and the occupied. They want a Palestine that is but
|
|
a state in name, a client state of the Americans,
|
|
and a satrap of Israel.

WHY I HAVE LITTLE OR NO TIME FOR FIGHTING
|
|
THE UPCOMING WAR IN IRAQ
|
|
|
|
by Marc Harry Ehrenfrucht
|
|
|
|
I'm up to my neck resisting the war at home.
|
|
Please do what you can. I don't know about
|
|
others, but the Bush/Dulles/Prescott family
|
|
has left me completely overwhelmed.

A LETTER TO A G.I.
|
|
|
|
(poem from an ex-soldier)
|
|
|
|
If I were a soldier
|
|
I would complain about D.U.
|
|
I would speak out against war.
|
|
I would insist upon non-violent direct action first.
|
|
I would maintain "force last."
|
|
I would call for the recall of George "Wimp Jr" Bush.
|
|
Point out Dick Cheney's fascist roots.
|
|
I would tread lightly on Powell's MANY and varied
|
|
transgressions as he may be about the only strand
|
|
left holding this planet together.
|
|
(hate every minute of THAT)
|
|
scold the DEA for putting Americans on both
|
|
sides of the "Scar" border in harm's way.
|
|
I would dismantle NORAD AND the Pentagone with my
|
|
own bare hands.
|
|
shove an MRE up Ashcroft's nostril.
|
|
prove the FBI and CIA merged back in October, 1979.
|
|
prove Bill Clinton is just as harmful as the Bushs.
|
|
prove as quickly as I can that Lieberman is an anti-christ
|
|
remind all that Tipper is never to be tusted
|
|
Liddy Dole is much worse!
|
|
|
|
Dismantle the USA Patriot Act with my bare hands.
|
|
(or an antique fountain pen)
|
|
|
|
But I am not a soldier.
|
|
Why?
|
|
Because I quit about 23 wars ago.
|
|
So I shall have to aspire to all this and more
|
|
as a civilian.
|
|
Please help me all you can.

YOU DON'T HAVE TO PAY ME FOR THIS LAUGH:
|
|
|
|
One of about 3 Quaker jokes in existence
|
|
(ask the Pope if you don't believe me):
|
|
Scene is a Friend's Memorial Meeting, a
|
|
Quaker funeral, which is held just like
|
|
any other Meeting for Worship. Basically
|
|
silent, with people standing and speaking
|
|
as moved by the spirit. So one elderly
|
|
Friend stands up, remains standing in
|
|
silence for several minutes, concludes,
|
|
"as our late Friend so eloquently said,"
|
|
and sits down.
