21 After all the heavy discussions going on here lately, I'm not sure I
|
|
22 want to intrude with a non-earth-shattering message, but What The Hey.

23 L'homme: Did you happen to see the SHOE comic strip in Thursday's Oregonian?
|
|
24 You going to sue the writers for plagarism?
|
|
25 How goes the archive transfer? I picked up a few more disk, if need be.
|
|
26 A humerous side note on the disks - you were bragging about the great deal
|
|
27 you got on your disks--it turns out that the place you got them supplies the
|
|
28 place I got mine. They just take the disks, stick them in the Flip'n'file,
|
|
29 and sell them to Arvey. Your price, plus the 6.50 for the box, equals my price.
|
|
30 Interesting.
|
|
31 I also see P.H. wants in to the archive buy. Here's your chance to recoup
|

32 your losses due to d renigging.

33 Alex: How does it look for having your wife's place of employment run off
|

34 printouts of the archives? Would it be possible to get a printout for

141 First -- to the person who is interested in learning the pipes. --
|
|
142 You will not need a set of pipes for quite a long while (most people take
|
|
143 1-2 years) you start with a small reed horn called a practice chanter.
|
|
144 They are available at a local store called Artichoke Music. You can
|
|
145 learn self-taught, but I recommend finding a good tutor. There are many
|
|
146 people in the Portland area that can teach proplerly, I am not one of tem.
|
|
147 You have two main things to learn -- how to listen to the notes produced
|
|
148 by the pipes and the physical contortions necessary to produce them.
|
|
149 Good luck, and let me know how things work out.
|
|
150
|
|
151 Let's examine our terms. When I talk of instincts, I am talking of
|
|
152 non-learned behaviour -- the fundamental urges that goose us when we
|
|
153 let our guard down. I do not necessarily accept Freud as the pillar of
|
|
154 wisdom when it comes to matters mental. Rather than regarding him as the
|
|
155 Steven Hawking of pshrinkology, I would place him closer to the Greek
|
|
156 philosophers. (that's where I'd put the 'science' of pshrinkology too!)
|
|
157 About the only way to figure out whether a certain behaviour is learned
|
|
158 or instinct is through observation of many different societies. Enter
|
|
159 the aspiring Anthropologist stage right. My personal conclusions are
|
|
160 reached with much less than thourough research -- my observations and
|
|
161 general reading -- but I accept the desire for sex as an instinct that
|
|
162 manifests itself given stimulation. What that stimulation is, and the
|
|
163 precise form of the manifestation are more in the line of learned behaviur.
|
|
164 People tend to cluster in small groups and be happy. When forced into
|
|
165 larger groups, their 'quality of life' seems to drop. (oops, my
|
|
166 prejudices are showing -- what i measure that stuff with isn't neccessarily
|
|
167 your measure) Most activities we condemn (or praise) have in different
|
|
168 societies been regarded with the opposite viewpoint. Sorry to ramble
|
|
169 quite so long, but this was composed on-line in the early am.

172 "Wuxtra! Wuxtra!! Read all about it!" The kid on the corner screamed. I

|
|
174 and looked for a place to sit down. Fins little key hadn't had this sort
|
|
175 of effect on me last time. And it had put me on the planet I had intended
|

176 to go to: Earth. I pulled the diamonds I had left and figured in the

189 and plenty of transportation to and from this locale.
|
|
190 Laisser Faire : Your question about the deficit is well taken. I have no doubt
|
|
191 in my mind, that if the democratic candidate is elected this November,
|
|
192 social programs will get a financial boost in the arm in lieu of taking
|
|
193 care of the massive federal overspending. The spending will increase,
|
|
194 but somehow public sentiment will be swayed away from a negative
|
|
195 position on the budget, to a more positive one. After all, if the
|
|
196 government is going to spend more money than it has, better spend it on
|
|
197 butter than guns, right? Public opinion will be more tempered when all
|
|
198 that money is being spent on programs that directly benefit them, as
|
|
199 opposed to programs, like the military, that don't "directly" benefit
|
|
200 them the way food stamps or unemployment does. Since the lower classes
|
|
201 and labor classes that make up the underbelly of the democratic party
|
|
202 utilize these programs much more than the traditional republican party
|
|
203 member does, I see the demos really leaning toward more massive social
|
|
204 aid, and their party campaign to focus on how a democratic president
|
|
205 will do his best to rectify the situation propelled by the current
|
|
206 republican leadership. It is interesting to note the tax issue that
|
|
207 seems to be emerging this election year. Reagan's stance is still
|
|
208 unknown for sure, and his underlings seem to be doing all the talking.
|
|
209 It could be quite possible that since, once re-elected, Reagan is "safe",
|
|
210 he may go ahead and raise taxes to get the economists and media off his
|
|
211 back regarding the deficit. What do you think about the possible 85-88
|
|
212 tax reforms?

220 Piper - Well said on instincts. I will buy that premise and definition

221 for the purpose of our discussions. Please continue with the

|
|
223
|
|
224 L'homme - I do not agree with your premise, however. I am not convinced
|
|
225 that public sentiment is against the current budget. We are
|
|
226 talking about a president that has had more popularity than
|
|
227 any in recent history. I think that is indicative of the
|
|
228 general regard the public has for Reagan and his program.

229 I do not think that the country can recover from another serious

|
|
241 Perhaps social conditioning and instincts are but two parts of the same
|
|
242 process, with the time element being different. Can one really say that
|
|
243 social conditioning developed over generations, and passed on genetically,
|
|
244 is inherently different than habits acquired during one's lifetime? One
|
|
245 analogy that might illustrate this is to consider habits of personality
|
|
246 as routines in read only memory. In one case the instincts come in a
|
|
247 pre-programmed ROM, and in the other the social conditioning is written
|
|
248 into EPROM as one grows and learns. A more important point is that human
|
|
249 beings can choose to override or change the default conditions. This
|
|
250 does require attention to what one is doing. Quit paying attention and
|
|
251 the default conditions take over. I won't extend this analogy any farther,
|
|
252 since all analogies tend to come unraveled if taken too literally. They
|
|
253 are, after all, only approximations, not the *real* thing. You fans of
|
|
254 "The Worm Runner's Digest" no doubt noticed that I seem to violate the
|
|
255 accepted theory that acquired behavior cannot be passed on genetically to
|
|
256 future generations. The instincts referred to above would be acquired
|
|
257 because those that had the group instinct would be around to pass it on.
|
|
258 Being in a protective group the chances of having their incarnation
|
|
259 terminated early would be reduced. No matter which side of the debate you
|
|
260 support it's still only a hypothesis, or theory depending on the weight of
|
|
261 the evidence. These theories are one of the ways we use to express to
|
|
262 each other the nature of this reality we share. Even the laws of physics
|
|
263 are just mutually agreeable theories. If you doubt this, consider the
|
|
264 fate of the laws of Newtonian Physics in light of new quantum theories.
|
|
265 Even now the next version of reality is being written, maybe by you!

269 Nick Danger here... Who said anyone had to set
|
|
270 an example?? This is a fun board where everyone
|
|
271 is different...no one sets examples here!!
|
|
272
|
|
273 Someone mentioned a question about what the tax reforms of the next
|
|
274 Presidential tenure would be. How about flat rate taxes, value added
|
|
275 taxes, and a national sales tax? After that, increases in personal
|
|
276 income should increase the coughers of the federal government since
|
|
277 a lower deficit would bring down interest rates and stimulate the
|
|
278 economy even more.
|
|
279
|
|
280 One must examine what the opposition party (the Demos as they are called)
|
|
281 will cry and moan about these proposals. As to flat tax rates, you can bet
|
|
282 that's where the loudest moaning will come from. They'll say that it will hurt
|
|
283 the poor. As they say, "Screw the poor", but that isn't the case. Everyone will
|
|
284 finally be taxed equally...that's only fair. No one class should ever carry the
|
|
285 tax burden (talking about your filthy rich people here), although a flat rate tax
|
|
286 would still mean that rich people would pay more than anyone else.
|
|
287
|
|
288 As to value added and national sales taxes, you can bet the demos will cry foul
|
|
289 a little less, but still loud enough to be heard. They'll add to the bill such
|
|
290 ammendments that will exclude stuff the poor always buy but don't need (potato chips,
|
|
291 Anacin 3, etc.). Have you ever watch people that have food stamps buy groceries?
|
|
292 They buy all the stuff that's only fit for pigs to eat, or they spend all of their
|
|
293 food stamps on New York cut steaks...
|
|
294
|
|
295 At any rate, when Reagan gets re-elected, he won't raise income taxes immediatly,
|
|
296 but instead try to cut the budget down a bit more. After all, the demos never gave
|
|
297 him everything he asked for the first go round...
|
|
298
|
|
299 @@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@NICK DANGER@@@@@@@@
|
|
300 Mesolithic Mathematician: All that happened to Newtonian physics is that it is
|
|
301 now a special case!
|
|
302 Nick Danger: That's "coffers", not "coughers"!
|
|
303 As one who has been on food stamps, let me tell you that it isn't easy
|
|
304 to eat properly with what they give you. I don't know what the current "maximum
|
|
305 benefit" is but about 5 years ago it was $63/month for a single person. That's
|
|
306 $2.10/day!
|
|
307 As for the "maximum benefit", you have to be LOSING money
|
|
308 to qualify. They figure your "food stamp income" by taking your income,
|
|
309 subtracting a FEW things (mostly medical expenses), and then subtracting your
|
|
310 "shelter costs" (rent, house payments, utilities) from 130% of the of your
|
|
311 "income after deductions"(remember those medical expenses?).
|
|
312 Thus to qualify for the full benefit amount, your shelter costs must come
|
|
313 to 130% of your income! Things are a little better now, they used to give
|
|
314 everyone the maximum amount of foodstamps. The catch was you had to pay CASH for
|
|
315 the difference between that and your "benefit amount". Thus I was paying part of
|
|
316 the RENT MONEY to get my food stamps! Now they just give you whatever amount of
|
|
317 foodstamps they figure as your benefit amount.
|
|
318 If anyone is REALLY interested, I'll either dig out my old benefit booklet.
|
|
319 Or go get a current one. (The booklet explains how they calculate your benefits
|
|
320 & how to appeal.) Funny thing, the booklets are almost NEVER available. (unless
|
|
321 they are a couple of rule changes out of date!)

326 I don' see any problem getting time on the machines.....the trouble is
|
|
327 getting the printers to stay here long enough to do the job. The turn around
|
|
328 time is very swift. Next time a 5211-2 or 3262 rolls in for the weekend we can
|
|
329 go for it. We may need some RPGII talent to format the output....know anyone ?
|
|
330 Any Q & D pgm will do ! !....probable cost --> paper, ribbon(?) and Chivas
|
|
331 ...or reasonable facsimile there of.....( No L'homme, that reality bending
|
|
332 orange substance will *NOT* do ). If your going to PCS....I will try & show
|
|
333 up ...3:30ish...( barring any marital intervention )....
|
|
334 we can kick it around then....
|
|
335 Frank,
|
|
336 So much for being " through as a contributor " as so stated in your
|
|
337 message #3 .....My mistake .....I took you at your word.....
|
|
338 Your latest incarnation seems to have taken a philosophical bent. Does that
|
|
339 mean you have conceded the point of the destructive nature of man-boy
|
|
340 relationships....or are you again working back to that topic ?
|
|
341 After all its only our "social conditioning" and "irrelevant cultural taboos"
|
|
342 that prevent us from accepting your perverse sexual activities as normal.
|
|
343 And besides your errant "instincts" only result in "victimless crimes".....
|
|
344 ......what could be more logical (sic).....

428 Nick, you obviously haven't been paying attention to the papers or much of anything else for the last four years.
|
|
429 Mr. Reagan is quite noteworthy in that he has had nearly everything he or his party sponsored in Congress passed. An
|
|
430 in his time in office, he has yet to even threaten to cast a Veto over a spending, appropriations, or budget bill. How
|
|
431 can you then blame the democrats? If he wants credit for the current economic "recovery" due to the success of
|
|
432 Voodoo-economics... excuse me, Reaganomics, then he must accept the credit for the deficit he has
|
|
433 helped to create.

437 OH, PLEASE, I HAVE SEEN WORSE SPACE WASTERS THAN THAT PUT OUT BY THE 'BLIND PIRATE', BUT THAT IS THE WORST IN CONTENT.
|
|
438
|
|
439 ANYWAY, I SEEM TO HAVE NOT GOTTEN ANY RESPONSES ON THE FEDERAL BUDGET, ARE SOME OF THE ANTI-FOOD STAMP PEOPLE IGNORING
|
|
440 IT? ALSO, WHAT WHITE HOUSE?
|
|
441 ONE THING THAT NO ONE DISCUSSING POLITICS SEEMS TO REALIZE IS THAT THE DEMOCRATIC PARTY IS THE MOST FRACTURED THAT IT
|
|
442 HAS BEEN SINCE WWII. CONSIDER, IN THE PRIMARIES, HART MATCHED MONDALE VOTE FOR VOTE AS FAR AS POPULAR VOTES ARE
|
|
443 CONCERNED, BUT MONDALE SOMEHOW GOT AN OVERWHELMING MAJORITY OF DELEGATES. THE REASON, THE PARTY IS EVENLY SPLIT BETWEEN
|
|
444 THE OLD GENERATION 'NEW DEALERS' AND THE NEW GENERATION 'YUPPIES'. MONDALE REPRESENTS THE OLD GENERATION PERFECTLY.
|
|
445 DRAWING SUPPORT FROM LABOR UNIONS AND THE PARTY ORGAN ITSELF, HIS CAMPAIGN WAS THE SMOOTHEST EVER. HIS VEEP PICK WAS FAR
|
|
446 MORE THAN A CONCESSION TO THE WOMENS GROUPS, IT WAS A CONCESSION TO THE OTHER HALF OF THE PARTY, A PERFECT INDICATION
|
|
447 THAT HE AND HIS KIND ARE SO THREATENED THAT THEY CANNOT MAINTAIN CONTROL OF THE PARTY ITSELF. LOOKING TO '88, I WILL
|
|
448 CONSTRUCT SEVERAL SCENARIOS. FIRST, EITHER A SPLIT AND FORMATION OF A THREE PARTY SYSTEM IN THIS COUNTRY, OR A COMPLETE
|
|
449 LOSS OF POWER BY THE OLD GENERATION RESULTING IN A PERIOD OF INTENSE DISORGANIZATION WITHIN THE PARTY. IF IN '88 A NEW
|
|
450 DEALER BEGINS TAKING CONTROL OF THE NOMINATION THE OTHER HALF OF THE PARTY WILL REVOLT. THE NEW GENERATION HAS ONLY
|
|
451 ALLOWED MONDALE TO GAIN THE NOMINATION THIS TIME BECAUSE THEY FEEL THAT THEY HAVE LITTLE CHANCE OF BEATING REGAN. BY
|
|
452 CONTRAST, THE OLD GENERATION STILL FEELS THAT THE PARTY CAN WIN BY COALITION. THE NEW GENERATION IS BETTING ON MONDALE
|
|
453 LOSING, AND LOSING BADLY. THE RESULTANT DISGRASE OF THE OLD GENERATION WILL HELP THEM TO MAKE A CLEAN SWEEP OF THE PARTY
|
|
454 , AND LAY TO REST THE IDEALS OF 'DEMAND SIDE ECONOMICS'. IT MUST BE UNDERSTOOD THAT THE NEW GENERATION DIFFERS LITTLE
|
|
455 FROM REGAN ON ECONOMICS, EXCEPT THAT THEY DO NOT WANT AN INCREASING DEFICIT. REGAN DOES NOT WANT ONE EITHER, BUT IF HE
|
|
456 DOES NOT HAVE A DEFICIT, HE CANNOT FUND THE MILITARY, OR SOCIAL SECURITY. AND HE WONT TOUCH S.S. DURING AN ELECTION YEAR
|
|
457 THE NEW GENERATIOM OF DEMOCRATS DIFFER WILDLY FROM REGAN&CO. IN THEIR SOCIAL IDEALS. THEY WANT PRO-CHOICE, WORKING WOMEN
|
|
458 , NO ARMY, NO PRAYER IN SCHOOLS, AND SO ON. LOOK TO THESE THINGS HAPPENING IN '85. FIRST, THERE WILL BE A TREMENDOUS
|
|
459 ECONOMIC RECESSION. ON THIS MOST ECONOMIC SCIENTISTS AGREE. MAINLY, THE CONTROLS THAT WERE ON THE INTEREST RATES WILL BE
|
|
460 REMOVED. REGAN WILL THEN ATTACK S.S. AND I JUST RAN OUT OF SPACE.+++++++++++++000001TED+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++

480 I really don't have anything prepared for further definitions on the
|
|
481 social/herd/pack animal and instinct vs. social conditioning issue. If
|
|
482 anyone wants to take it farther -- please do. The ROM/EEPROM analogy of the
|
|
483 mesolithic mathematician seems apt. It is quite difficult to analyze thee
|
|
484 source of data when you have no access to the addresses involved and no
|
|
485 knowlege of the hardware. (sorry, that should be incomplete knowlege)
|
|
486 I also don't really want to re-raise the issue of child abuse, as I do
|
|
487 not consider this a victimless crime. (Frank -- one of the vicims that
|
|
488 I seldom see mentioned are the parents of the children involved unless
|
|
489 they have somehow contributed to the offense.)
|
|
490 My original entry was occasioned by mention in thee Oregonian of a new
|
|
491 attempt to suppress prostitution. Agreed, in some cases the prostitute is
|
|
492 a victim -- but of his/her opressor and the anti-prostitution laws and
|
|
493 quite often of child abuse in his/her formative years. This is a prime
|
|
494 example of where the attemept to legislate morality (where, at least this
|
|
495 aspect of morality, morality is how a person behaves without forceful
|
|
496 coercion.) My concern is that in their attempt to make this action more
|
|
497 difficult to engage in, the city council seems to have cast quite a wide
|
|
498 net. I'm not sure whether chewing gum in a public place can get you arrested
|
|
499 for aiding and abetting prostitution or not -- but you'd better hope you
|
|
500 don't have to circle the block looking for a parking place.

505 IT WAS BUT HALF A LEAGUE TO THE FAR SHORE, AND ALTHOUGH I WAS
|
|
506 NEARLY EXHAUSTED,THE SIGHT OF THE WAVES BREAKING UPON THE ROCKS
|
|
507 RENEWED MY STRENGTH. I WOULD MAKE IT! I LOOKED BACK AT THE LITTLE
|
|
508 RAFT BEARING MY RUCKSACK WITH THE MAP, AND CARRYING MY COMPANION
|
|
509 "WELL, LITTLE FELLOW, WE'RE ALMOST THERE".IN HIS INIMICABLE
|
|
510 MANNER, HE YAWNED AT ME, AND THEN SUDDENLY LOOKED AWAY, TOWARD
|
|
511 THE CENTER OF THE LAKE. HIS TAIL CURLED UP OVER HIS HEAD, AND BEGAN
|
|
512 TO WAVE FRANTICALLY IN THE AIR.HE WAS AFRAID. AFRAID OF
|
|
513 SOMETHING I COULD NOT PERCIEVE. SUDDENLY, THE WIND SWEPT ACROSS
|
|
514 THE CHRYSTALLINE SURFACE, CHURNING THE LAPPING WAVES INTO FROTHY CAULDRONS.
|
|
515 SMSHING ONTO THE ROCKS,THROWING SPRAYS OF DROPLETS HIGH INTO THE AIR.
|
|
516 THE GOLDEN SUN, NEARING IT'S ZENITH CAST SPARKLING RAINBOWS
|
|
517 FROM EACH DROP, DANCING FOUNTAINS OF COLOR, PAINTING THE
|
|
518 SKY WITH IRRIDESCENT HUES, AND FOR A MOMENT I WAS TRANSFIXED BY
|
|
519 THE BEAUTY BEFORE ME, BUT THE WIND GREW STRONGER, AND THE LITTLE
|
|
520 RAFT WAS BUFFETED ABOUT. I FEARED FOR THE SAFETY OF MY COMPANION
|
|
521 AND REACHED FOR THE RAFT TO STEADY IT, BUT AS I DID, THE WIND
|
|
522 IN A FINAL BLAST, OVERTURNED IT AND MY LITTLE FRIEND FELL INTO
|
|
523 THE CHURNING WATER, HIS LITTLE PAWS FLAILING HELPLESSLY AT THE AIR.
|
|
524 AND THEN HE WAS GONE. I WAS AT ONCE OVERCOME WITH GRIEF AND PANIC.
|
|
525 THE PRECIOUS RUCKSACK SLIPPED INTO THE FROTHY WATER, AND IN A
|
|
526 FINAL DESPERATE EFFORT, I SNATCHED IT AWAY FROM THE LAPPING
|
|
527 TONGUES OF THE HUNGRY WAVES. THE WIND AND THE CURRENT CARRIED ME
|
|
528 HELPLESSLY ALONG, AND ONTO THE ROCKY SHORE. I WAS BATTERED ABOUT.
|
|
529 SHARP ROCKS TORE AT MY LEGS. MY HEART WAS POUNDING, MY BREATHING
|
|
530 LABORED, AND THEN, FINALLY, MY SEEKING FEET FOUND PURCHASE, AND
|
|
531 WITH ACHING ARMS, PULLED MY TIRED BODY ONTO THE ROCKS.
|
|
532 THROWING MY RICKSACK BEFORE ME, I FELL ONTO THE GROUND. TEARS
|
|
533 FILLED MY EYES, AND A SOB ESCAPED MY LIPS. A WELCOME BLACKNESS
|
|
534 OVERCAME ME, AND AS I DRIFTED OFF, I IMAGINED MY LITTLE FRIEND
|
|
535 BEFORE ME, YAWNING AS HE DID---.
