23 ========================================
|
||
24 What kind of liberals are you referring to when you say 'us liberals', CYM? Are you talking about the Traditional
|
||
25 Liberals, who believed in the power of the individual and rejected big government and all the interference that went
|
||
26 along with it. Or are you talking about the New Liberals, who love big government and all of its taxes and
|
||
27 interference. Or perhaps you speak of the bleeding-heart liberals, who blame themselves and practically everyone else
|
||
28 for the 'downtrodden minorities'. There are big differences between the types of liberals I mentioned. Unfortunately
|
||
29 in our attempts to categorize people, we forget that a single name, 'liberal', means wildly different things to
|
||
30 different people.
|
||
31 The same comment goes for you, Hrothgar. If you wanted Reagan to 'balance the budget, get government off the backsfsalbs
|
||
32 liberalism that existed before this century, before the liberals found out that they, too, could manipulate the
|
||
33 population as well as any conservative.
|
||
34 That's to your credit, Hrothgar. But perhaps you consider yourself the 'laughingstock of my liberal friends'
|
||
35 because you don't check your facts: Reagan was inaugurated January 1981, and as such has been our president 2 years and0mnh.(
|
||
36 traffic controllers. They are attributed by most people to the recent influx of Mariel Cubans inadvertently invited by
|
||
37 Reagan to come to America. Of course, you can certainly blame Reagan for that, if you wish. However, typical liberals
|
||
38 are often criticizing conservatives for 'closing freedom's door' by restricting immigration. In that one isolated
|
||
39 incident, Reagan was more 'liberal' than many liberals I've heard.
|
||
40 Also, it is distoring the issue to blame airline accidents on Reagan and his actions. Airline accidents occur
|
||
41 relatively infrequently, maybe twice a year or a little more. Statistically, the variance in accidents could double the
|
||
42 number of accidents in a year without being significant. (Comparison: The number of auto fatalities is large, around
|
||
43 50,000 per year, and is relatively constant per year.)
|
||
44 And should we blame Reagan for the recession(depression, whatever) that has occurred in the last 3 years? That's a
|
||
45 good question. But first, answer this. At what point does a president (any president) become responsible for the
|
||
46 economy, etc, after he's taken office? Surely not on his second day in office? Or his third? But when? I won't answer
|
||
47 this question, since a person's answer usually depends on whether he likes the current administration. But I sometimes
|
||
48 wonder how much real power an administration has to make things happen/not happen. We all know that the Federal Reservesapwru
|
||
49 know that the Fed has acted unusually independantly of most Presidents. Indeed, much of a President's power is his
|
||
50 ability to push for tax/spending bills (often over the objections of Congress) But this is a slow procedure.
|
||
51 I don't know. But I didn't vote for Reagan. Or Carter. Or Anderson. I voted for someone who WOULD, if elected,
|
||
52 have 'balanced the budget, get the government off the backs of small business'. He might not have had government 'fund
|
||
53 more scientific research', because that isn't the proper function of government.

|
||
86 ^^^^^COSMO^^^ Ignoring the previousmessage...
|
||
87 Alright! That's what we need more of- sprited discussion. As I, and
|
||
88 some others around here, are new to this communication medium
|
||
89 , and out of a desire to further explore its potential as a communication
|
||
90 tool, I'd like to initiate lengthly discussion with a couple of thoughts
|
||
91 offered up by some other individuals...
|
||
92 "Whoever in discussion sights authority as supportive evidence uses not
|
||
94
|
||
97 intelligence but memory.
|
||
98
|
||
99
|
||
100 "Opinions are just that."
|
||
101
|
||
106
|
||
107 I fell opinions should be brought ot into the open for discussion and
|
||
108 evaluation lest they assume the form of fact. I get the distinct
|
||
109 impression that it is not possible or people to be truly authoritative
|
||
110 because most issues lie outside ther personal experience.
|
||
111 Let's seek out the opinions of othes, compare them to our own, and
|
||
112 come to some rational consensus regarding our opinions factual base.
|
||
113 For example: I don't like the [ajneeshies, nor do I like organized
|
||
114 religon. I also don't like being told what to believe(in), nor I'm sre
|
||
115 do they. If it weren't for the personal rigths we as a society advocate
|
||
116 I'd force them out of Oregon to somplace like Midway Island. But, would
|
||
117 i be any better then they? Certainly no worse?
|
||
118 I used to consider myself a liberal but I find liberalism more and more
|
||
119 to be a out of step with the times.
|
||
120 Like a pendulum, I think its time fr liberalism to stand down temorarily
|
||
121 while rational and mre conservative methods are ipracticed for the health
|
||
122 of our country. I think it is time for people to concern themselvs
|
||
123 with the nations natural resource clled youth, and stimulating educaton
|
||
124 for said resource. Support your kids curiosity, their education, ther
|
||
125 schools. Provide them exemplary role models, facilitate their learning,
|
||
126 encourage their inquisitivness, make them more accountable for their actions
|
||
127 Support the drive for increased mat and science requirments. Instill in thm
|
||
128 a strong sense of responsibilty. DemonstrAte to them the type of person
|
||
129 you would like them to be. Above al, don't be imposing. Good night.

|

134 To whomever:
|
||
135 Regarding the UHF Bandit I have made the following observations:
|
||
136 1) He is the only one reporting activiy on channel 61.
|
||
137 2) He declines to indicate the transmission times.
|
||
138 3) He declines to indicate his general location.
|
||
139 4) He declines to indicate the type of programming.
|
||
140 5) Either he is not a regular on BWMS or he declines to identify himself.
|
||
141 In consideration of the above, I have come to the conclusion that he is at-
|
||
142 tempting to administer to us a GQ (Gullibility Quotient) test.

152 Anon: Perhaps a pres is not to blame (or credit) for the economy on the

153 day following his inauguration, but he is most likely responsible for any

154 significant changes in the TREND of the economy. (I should have said

206 ANON, I THINK THAT THE MARIEL BOAT-LIFT WAS A CARTER MISTAKE, NOT A REAGAN ONE. IT WAS A SPEECH BY CARTER TO THE
|
||
207 LEAGUE OF WOMEN VOTERS IN TEXAS WHEREIN HE MENTIONED THAT THE U.S. BORDERS WERE STILL OPEN TO ANY AND ALL THAT WANTED
|
||
208 TO COME HERE THAT GAVE CASTRO THE CHANCE TO EMPTY HIS JAILS OF SOME OF HIS WORST PROBLEM OFFENDERS. IT WAS A CYNICAL
|
||
209 (AND SUCCESSFUL) ATTEMPT TO MAKE US LOOK BAD, AND TO SHOW THAT WE REALLY DO NOT TAKE ANY AND ALL WHO WANT TO COME HERE.
|
||
210 ON THE LIBERAL/CONSERVATIVE DEBATE, THE CONCEPT OF CONSERVATIVE HAS CHANGED SOMEWHAT OVER THE YEARS. ALONG WITH
|
||
211 THE DEFINITIONS GIVEN ABOVE, THEY WERE NOTED FOR BEING SLOW TO CHANGE ANYTHING, EXAMINING AN ISSUE TO DEATH BEFORE
|
||
213 GOING ALONG (IF THEY DID). THE REAGAN TYPE CONSERVATIVE IS CONSERVATIVE IN ALL WAYS EXCEPT THIS ONE. REAGAN SEEMS TO
|
||
214 THINK VERY LITTLE, LEAVING THAT TO HIS CABINET IF IT INTERFERES WITH WHAT HE IS DOING IN HIS PERSONAL LIFE. AND HE
|
||
215 DEMONSTRATES WHY I AM NOT FOND OF THE ANECDOTE IN ARGUMENT: WITH HIS NATIONAL EXPOSURE, HE CAN USE AN ANECDOTE (OF
|
||
216 DUBIOUS ORIGIN AND TRUTH) TO PROVE SOME OUTLANDISH POINT (SUCH AS TREES THAT ARE RESPONSIBLE FOR MORE POLLUTION THAN
|
||
217 COAL-FIRED POWER PLANTS).
|
||
218 I HAVE FOLLOWED MR. REAGANS CAREER FOR A LONG TIME, AND I SOMETIMES WONDER IF HE REMEMBERS ANYTHING HE HAS DONE.
|
||
219 IT WAS UNDER HIS GOVERNORSHIP THAT THE TAXES IN CALIFORNIA INCREASED AT SUCH A DRAMATIC RATE AND EVENTUALLY BROUGHT
|
||
220 ABOUT PROPOSITION 13. IT WAS HIS LITTLE ADMINISTRATION THAT DESTROYED THE TAX BASE FOR THE SCHOOLS, EVENTUALLY
|
||
221 TURNING A STATE THAT WAS #1 IN LEARNING IN BOTH PRIMARY AND SECONDARY EDUCATION INTO ONE THAT WASN'T EVEN IN THE TOP
|
||
222 20. AND DURING HIS TENURE THERE, HIS STANDS ON FOREIGN POLICY WERE A JOKE, AS HE ADVOCATED INVADING OTHER COUNTRIES
|
||
223 ON 12 OCCASIONS. I ASSUME THAT THIS WAS JUST RHETORIC, BECAUSE I DON'T THINK HE IS THAT STUPID, BUT IT IS THE KIND OF
|
||
224 THING THAT CAN MAKE ONE NERVOUS.
|

225 ONE CAN GO ON FOREVER ON THIS, WITH COMMENTS ABOUT HIS APPOINTING PEOPLE TO HEAD DEPARTMENTS WHO ARE HOSTILE TO

226 THE VERY PURPOSE OF THE DEPARTMENT, HIS OFFENDING OUR ALLIES WHENEVER POSSIBLE, APPOINTING COMMISIONS TO STUDY PROBLEMS

258 FAILURE IS GIVEN (AND YOU FIND TRUTH IN THE STRANGEST PLACES) IN THE MOVIE ROCKY III, WHEN ROCKY TELLS

260 PERSON IS BEYOND THE CAPABILITY TO BE RESPONSIBLE FOR HIS/HER ACTIONS. I SAY NO TO WELFARE, BUT YES

261 TO WORKFARE AND RETRAINING PROGRAMS, TO BE PAID BACK. THIS COUNTRY WAS FOUNDED ON THE BASIS OF FREEDOM,
|

262 PERSONAL FREEDOM. THAT FREEDOM GIVES US THE POWER TO SUCCEED OR TO FAIL, AND THE GOVERNMENT DOES NOT HAVE THE

263 RIGHT TO TAKE EITHER OF THOSE FREEDOMS AWAY, AND IT CANNOT TAKE ONE WITHOUT THE OTHER.
|

265 (AN INTERESTING POINT, AND SHAMES THE MEMORY OF OUR FOUNDING FATHERS, IS THAT FREEDOM WAS PROCLAIMED FOR

287 **************BLIND SCREAMING RED NECK********************************
|
||
288 Cmon, CYM, you are ready to blame republicans for any recession at all. What we now tend to forget is the time during
|
||
289 the 70's with inflation of >10%. What caused this? Well, partly the oil embargo, but inflation soared during the
|
||
290 early seventies too, far greater than the 1-2% usual during the sixties. This, as nearly all economists will
|
||
291 admit, was due to the costs of the Vietnam war, because the government was unwilling to raise taxes sufficiently to pay
|
||
292 for it. (Regardless of what you think of the war, it was expensive). And Nixon, while he didn't stop the war as fast
|
||
293 as most of us liked, (as far as I know) we had already reached a peak number of soldiers in Vietnam by the end of
|
||
294 the Johnson administration! So much of the double-digit inflation of the seventies, and its corresponding recession, was
|
||
295 actually due to the Democrats!
|
||
296 And what with the oil embargo/shock causing a tremendous upheaval in the cost of living/doing business, it is
|
||
297 unfair to say that the guy who happened to be president at that time should be saddled with the full blame.
|
||
298 We were headed into the current recession when Carter left office. While we may speculate on the possibility that
|
||
299 it wouldn't have lasted as long as it did had Reagan done something differently, or might have been less severe, I still
|
||
300 people wondering if we would EVER return to the days of 5% inflation.
|
||
301 Anyway, it seems certain that whatever mistakes Reagan makes today will be blamed on whichever president is elected
|
||
302 for the 1985-1989 term (perhaps Reagan himself.) The economy is like a ocean liner, steered by three oars: one held
|
||
303 by the president, one held by the Congress, and one held by the Federal Reserve. Things happen very slowly, and when they do
|
||
304 (especially if they're bad) the president is the main one getting the blame!
|
||
305 Recovery from this recession could have been botched if the Fed had raised the money supply too fast: Three years down the
|
||
306 road, tremendous inflation, etc. But for the short-term, everything would have looked rosy. If you are willing to trade
|
||
307 long-term security for short-term political gains, that's what you would get.

310 IT'S A LOT EASIER TO EAT WHEN ONE HAS A JOB AND MONEY COMING IN EVEN WITH INFLATION.
|

311 WHO CAN LIVE ON CHEESE HANDOUTS NO MATTER HOW LOW THE COST OF LIVING INDEX IS.
|
||
312 YES, "ANON" I CAN AND DO BLAME THE RECESSION ON REAGAN. HE WAS GIVEN MORE THAN HIS SHARE OF SUPPORT BY THE HOUSE AND THE SENATE
|
||
313 WHEN HE TOOK OFFICE. THEY WENT ALONG WITH HIS POLICIES HOPING THEY WOULD WORK.
|
||
314 OBVIOUSLY THEY HAVE'NT! THERE IS STILL ABOUT 11% UNEMPLOYMENT IN SPITE OF THE PHONY GOVERNMENT FIGURES THAT DON'T TAKE IN ALL
|
||
315 THOSE THAT HAVE GIVEN UP.
|
||
316 ON THE OTHER SUBJECT, THERE ARE PROBABLY 200,000 PERSONS OUT THERE FOR EVERY EXCEPTIONAL HELLEN KELLER, MARTIN LUTHER KING, ETC
|

317 THAT IS A VERY BAD EXAMPLE OF BEING ABLE TO DO FOR ONESELF. AS FOR THE MOVIE ROCKIE, YOU'VE GOT TO BE KIDDING QUOTING THAT JERK

320 CYM: I hate to tell you this but trees ARE a major contributor to
|
||
321 air pollution (if you figure total tonnage, NOT concentration). Also, YOU have to be kidding when you say that the House & Sena
|
||
322 supported Reagan's policies. They did so ONLY when it didn't conflict
|
||
323 with their own policies. Finally, I once saw a chart comparing
|
||
324 (by inflation rate, I believe) all the adminstrations this century.
|
||
325 It had them broken down into 4 categories, Republican president-
|
||
326 Republican Congress, Republican president-Democratic Congress,
|
||
327 Democratic president-Democratic Congress, & Democratic president-
|
||
328 Republican Congress. The rate seemed to be more dependant on Congress
|
||
329 than the president, but (as I recall) things were "better" when
|
||
330 congress & the president were of different parties & "best" when
|
||
331 we had a Republican president & a Democratic congress. Maybe we
|
||
332 should get rid of the Republicans in Congress?
|
||
333
|
||
334 Cosmo: I wish you hadn't mentioned that bit with the sounding rocket.
|
||
335 That is NOT the kind of info that needs to be spread around.
|
||
336 You also underestimate the effects. The satellite will be moving at
|
||
337 AT LEAST 5 miles per second relative to those nails. They won't
|
||
338 merely "remove all external protuberances", ONE NAIL would destroy
|
||
339 a medium size satellite! (and it would probably be hit by several)
|
||
340 One reason we don't need this to be spread around is because the
|
||
341 John Birch Society (or some other group of "right wing" radicals)
|
||
342 could "shoot down" the Soviet space station for about $10,000. Or
|
||
343 someone who disliked us (or at least the space program) could
|
||
344 shoot down a shuttle just as cheaply.
|
||
345 Do you REALLY want to spread that kind of info around?

367 Reading tonight's conversations was enjoyable./
|
||
368 As for politics, during its long an necessary history it has always been an unexact science.
|
||
369 There are just too many variables to attempt to control to everyone's satisfaction.
|
||
370 It is, i feel, too much to expect o any person, not so different fromyou or me, to be the 'magician'
|
||
371 we expect our presidents to be.
|
||
372
|
||
373 ]hat they adequately manage the beast called public beuracracy is as much as we can reasonably expect. I think Reagan lives up
|
||
374 to these citeria, as i felt Carter attempted to. Perhaps it can be summed up in the quote-
|
||
375 "Democracy operates on the assumtion that more than half of th people are right more tan half the time."
|
||
376
|
||
377 leanord: Your assessment of the impact effects of nails and spacecrft at high relative speeds is quite accurrate. Your
|
||
378 concerns regarding public informatin is honorable but misguided. Ignorane and lack of understanding and comprehension are
|
||
379 far more serious dangers.
|
||
380 The conceptual formulation of space confrontation is already a well-establish
|
||
381 practice. You must understand its implications if you are to accurately assess its
|
||
382 potentials. As the enviornment of space becomes more ad more a part of our natural habitat, we will be confronted with many
|
||
383 new contributions to both stability and instabilty. Consider the implication of the electromagnetic mass-launcher.
|
||
384 As part ao a forseeable future's lunar colony, a mass launchers intended function is to accelerate large quantities of raw
|
||
385 lunar crustal material to lunar escape velocity on a trajectory
|
||
386 which would delivery it to a space-based ore refining facility. Opporating under the well established laws of Newtonian
|
||
387 physics, these 'projectiles can be aimed with unerroriing accuraccies.
|
||
388 (unerroring?!) Consider the potenial of such a mass launcher...to deliver multi-ton projectiles , at speeds in excess of
|
||
389 7 miles per second, along random trajectories, to any point of the surface of the earth and with energies in excess of the
|
||
390 soviet 100-megaton'er. To argue that we should not become informed with regards to its 'evil' pottential, is to remove the
|
||
391 potential for corresponding checks and balances necessary to its morally correct operation... and the should, could, and i
|
||
392 feel, must be built... For peace.
|
||
393
|
||
394 How else can we make informed, reasoned decisions about issues which effect our survival?

|

398 LEONARD, CYM IS RIGHT, IT WASN'T HE WHO MENTIONED THE TREES, IT WAS ME, AND I STAND BY WHAT I SAID. AS FAR AS THE
|
||
399 COMPARISON OF THE TOTAL TONNAGE TO THE ABSOLUTE CONCENTRATION, YOU'RE RIGHT. BUT THE CONCENTRATION IS WHAT IS
|
||
400 IMPORTANT IN THE ISSUE, AND COAL-FIRED POWER PLANTS PRODUCE CONCENTRATIONS THAT ARE REDICULOUSLY HIGH. AND WE MUST
|
||
401 DECIDE WHAT WE MEAN BY "POLLUTION". IF YOU MEAN COMPOUNDS OF HYDROCARBONS, THEN YOU ARE RIGHT AGAIN. BUT THE FORMS OF
|
||
402 HYDROCARBONS PRODUCED BY TREES CAN BE REUSED BY OTHER PLANTS, AND ARE GREAT FERTILIZERS WHEN PRECIPITATED BY RAIN.
|
||
403 THE SAME CAN'T BE SAID OF SULFER DIOXIDE, HIGH CONCENTRATIONS OF OZONE, BENZENE, OR CARBON MONOXIDE, NONE OF WHICH
|
||
404 TREES PRODUCE IN GREAT QUANTITIES OR AT ALL. LARRY SPEAKES, THE CHAIRMAN OF THE DEPARTMENT OF WHAT THE PRESIDENT MEANT
|
||
405 TO SAY, REFERRED TO THE COMMENT AS "JUST A SILLY MISTAKE, HE WAS MIS-INFORMED", AND HE DEFINATELY WAS. THE ATMOSPHERE
|
||
406 CAN DEAL WITH LOCAL AND SMALL AMOUNTS OF THESE POLLUTIONS, BUT HAS A HARD TIME WITH MASSIVE CONCENTRATIONS.
|
||
407 ON THE QUESTION OF WHETHER REAGAN GOT WHAT HE WANTED, I THINK THAT IF YOU REVIEW THE CONGRESSIONAL RECORD FOR THE
|
||
408 PERIOD COVERING THE 1st YEAR AND A HALF OF HIS TERM, YOU WILL FIND THAT HE DID NOT LOSE THE FINAL VOTE ON ANY ISSUE HE
|
||
409 HAD SPONSORED. AND ALL OF HIS POLITICAL APPOINTEES WERE CONFIRMED BY CONGRESS, EVEN THE INCOMPETANTS AND GOOF-BALLS.
|
||
410 THIS IS AN INCREDIBLE RECORD OF CONGRESSIONAL COMPLIANCE, ONE THAT HASN'T BEEN SEEN IN A LONG TIME, AND NEVER IN MY
|
||
411 MEMORY DURING AN ADMINISTRATION WITH A CONGRESS CONTROLED BY HIS "OPPOSITION". SO WHILE I MIGHT AGREE THAT IT IS TOO
|
||
412 SOON TO PASS JUDGEMENT ON HIS REIGN, I DON'T AGREE THAT HE HASN'T GOTTEN JUST ABOUT EVERYTHING HE WANTED. FOR A LONG
|
||
413 TIME, PEOPLE BELIEVED THAT HE HAD A "MANDATE" TO INITIATE MASSIVE CHANGE, BUT THE ONLY MANDATE HE HAD WAS TO REPLACE
|
||
414 THE CARTER ADMINISTRATION.

|
||
416 You seem to have a much higher opinion of politicians than I do. Their
|
||
417 value is meager at best, their harm great.
|
||
418 The reason the economy did better when the pres and congress were at ods
|
||
419 is very simple:they didn't do anything then. In any case, comparing the
|
||
420 economy against US politics involves leaving out over half of the problem:
|
||
421 the rest of the world. Depressions hve usually hit the outside world harder
|
||
422 and earlier than the US (our strong, varied economy protects us), and then
|
||
423 the US is dragged in. We usually recover faster. I suspect the only thing
|
||
424 a politician can do to affect the economy is support or damage trust.
|
||
425 The oeconomy runs on private investment and no investor is willing to put
|
||
426 money on the line when the "government" (politicians) are playing games
|
||
427 that might shoot him down, like raise the taxes abruptly. Stability is
|
||
428 worth it's weight in gold, and then some, even if it is expensive we can
|
||
429 live with it. I doubt that even 4 years is enough to have real effect,
|
||
430 other than shock value.

465 IS VARIABLE FROM 0 TO ONE SECOND, BUT IF YOU GIVE IT A SECOND ALL WILL BE

467 DOWN THE TRANSMISSION (USUALLY DONE BY WAITING FOR THE CHARACTER YOU SENT

471 YOU SEND TO BE RETURNED TO YOU AND BWMS WILL TAKE CARE OF THE TIMEING FOR

472 YOU. BUT REMEMBER THAT BWMS WILL SEND A CARRAGE RETURN, LINE FEED, CARRAGE

473 RETURN BACK TO YOU FOR EACH SINGLE CARRAGE RETURN YOU SEND.
|
||
474 ********* CISTOP MIKEY **** 9:00AM ********** 13 OCT 83 *******************
|
||
475 DOM: The nails don't have to reach escape velocity or even orbital
|
||
476 velocity. The idea is that you launch at the right time & fling this
|
||
477 mess up in front of your target. The timing is very important
|
||
478 (and probably capable of being handled by a good calculator)
|
||
479 as this stuff ISN'T going to be at "peak" altitude very long.
|
||
480 I know that the info is readily available, but most of those
|
||
481 nut cases may not be aware that this is even POSSIBLE, thus
|
||
482 they wouldn't look for it. I just wish that CYM had merely stated
|
||
483 that a low orbit satellite could be knocked down cheaply, rather
|
||
484 than going into details. (I know, just count this as a "pious wish"
|
||
485 on my part). This sort of thing bothers me a little, I know that
|
||
486 it wouldn't do any good to supress the information. I just don't
|
||
487 like having attention called to it. I thought the attempts to control
|
||
488 access to Chemistry texts in libraries (in the late 60s) were silly
|
||
489 and useless, but I don't think too much of the "Anarchist's Cookbook"
|
||
490 either. (speaking of which, DON'T use ANYTHING in ANY edition
|
||
491 without trying to get it checked by a trustworthy chemist! There
|
||
492 are omissions that can get you killed, or worse yet, half-kill you!!)
|
||
493
|
||
494 Anyway, just use some simple physics to figure out what
|
||
495 it would take to get a single stage rocket to a peak altitude of
|
||
496 say 200 miles. If you need any of the simpler rocketry equations,
|
||
497 I can probably supply them for you.

523 CITED FOR THESE 'MIRACLES' WAS THE EXPECTATIONS PLACED ON THE SUBJECTS BY THE RESEARCHERS. A POSITIVE

530 how good you are, if you don't get the breaks, or if you've made it onto someones "bad" list, success will never come.
