|
|
66 Ted,
|
|
67 One of the many posible reasons for no discussion of your --Budget--
|
|
68 is that it is most difficult to be objective about expenses when one has not
|
|
69 been presented with any sources of revenue....Secondly accurate addition plays
|
|
70 suprisingly major role in any discussion of fiscal policies. In your example
|
|
71 their exists a mear 9.6 billion dollar difference between the stated total and
|
|
72 the sum of the column. I know thats picky but it shows a lack of research..
|
|
73 and a presentation of the facts as they exist. Furthemore I know of no
|
|
74 preordained economic disaster due in 85...could you perhaps illustrate the
|
|
75 chain of events for those of us not predesposed to clairvoyance ?
|
|
76 As for your contention of interest rate controls being currently in place
|
|
77 I know of no such act that either the Federal Reserve or Comptroller of the
|
|
78 Currency has placed into effect. The rates as they exist now are simply a
|
|
79 function of the market.

84 Hi All, Tuck here. Have you ever tried to type messages while eating
|
|
85 toast with marmalade (that's the way ukershucerskersmckers spells it.)
|
|
86 jelly and drinking an ice cream float? Pretty tough, isn't it? The slowest
|
|
87 part of the process has to be making the things. If you can make um fast
|
|
88 enough, then you can eat um before the system isn't busy, see? Let's
|
|
89 concentrate on getting the jelly onto the bread, since this seems to be the
|
|
90 most mechanical process, thus having the greatest chace for loss of time
|
|
91 due to friction (i.e. dropping the jar, letting the lid roll under the
|
|
92 refrigerator, siblings yelling at you for sticking her shoe to the floor,
|
|
93 ect.)
|
|
94 The tool used to transfer the jelly to the bread should be concidered
|
|
95 on three major points.
|
|
96 1. Ability to remove the jelly from the container.
|
|
97 2. Ability to transport the jelly from the container to the toast.
|
|
98 3. Ability to spread the jelly evenly on the toast.
|
|
99 Bonus credit should also be given for additional uses, such as;
|
|
100 A) Heater for warming jelly to the temperature of the toast.
|
|
101 B) Handi-Wipe dispenser for sticky hands.
|
|
102 cC) Ultrasonic device to ward off flies.
|
|
103 D) Being edible, makes for easy clean-up.
|
|
104 Most present utensils (i.e. jelly-handling tools) seem built for some
|
|
105 other unknown purposes. The spoon scores a 9.5 on removal and transport,
|
|
106 but rates a 2 on spreading. The knife gets a 3.5 on removal, 3 on transport,
|
|
107 and comes back strong with 9.5 in speading. The fork get 3's accros the board.
|
|
108 The La Machine comes out with 9.95 in removal and two -1.2 in transport
|
|
109 and spreading. It also tends to eat bottles and such. Clearly, there is
|
|
110 no real tool designed for jelly to toast tranfers.
|
|
111 Now all we have to do is modify, combine, or just create some new
|
|
112 utensils to facilitate jelly tranfers. I will put out a few of my ideas,
|
|
113 and leave the rest to you.
|
|
114 .Using a caulking gun with suction action to squirt jelly
|
|
115 .A pully and string to tip a jar of jelly on the ceiling onto a piece
|
|
116 of toast below
|
|
117 .Trained hamsters with backscoops and troweled feet
|
|
118 .The good old Use-your-tounge method
|
|
119 Special Point: No, Lord Morbe, you can not use your scarf to adequatly
|
|
120 accomidate a jelly to toast transfer.
|
|
121 Get rowdy and type those replies...

126 WELL, I HAD A FEELING THAT SOMEONE WOULD QUIBBLE ABOUT THOSE FIGURES. ALEX, I GOT THOSE FIGURES FROM A HANDOUT THAT I GOT BACK
|
|
127 IN GOVERNMENT CLASS. THE FIGURES UNDOUBTEDLY DO NOT ADD RIGHT, CONSIDERING THAT I HAD LOGGED ON AS 3:00 AM. I AM NOT REALLY
|
|
128 INTERESTED IN THE BUDGET EITHER, BUT I HOPED THAT THOSE WHO WERE ARGUEING OVER IT COULD LOOK AT MY TALLY. SOME OF THE THINGS
|
|
129 THAT I SAW ON THE BOARD REGARDING THE BUDGET WERE ABSOLUTLY OUTRAGEOUS. I HAD MERLY WANTED TO GIVE A FEEL FOR WHAT THE BUDGET
|
|
130 REALLY WAS, AND THE FIGURES ARE WITHIN 10% ACCURACY I AM SURE. (IT REALLY HITS HOME WHEN NONE OF THE FIGURES ARE BELOW A
|
|
131 BILLION) I DO HAVE A TALLY OF WHERE THE MONEY COMES FROM, ONE NOT NEARLY SO DETAILED, BUT FROM THE LOOKS OF THE DEBATE GOING ON
|
|
132 ABOUT IT, NO ONE GIVES A RIP.
|
|
133 SPELL ALERT, I THINK THAT THERE ARE PROBLEMS WITH THE PHONE LINE CONNECTION, I SURE DID NOT SEE ANY ERRORS
|
|
134 +++++++++++++ WELL, WITH ALL THE DEBATE ABOUT NATIONAL POLITICS, I CERTAINLY HOPE THAT WE DO NOT OVERLOOK THE LOCALS. PORTLAND
|
|
135 MAYORAL POLITICS ARE SURE INTERESTING THESE DAYS. LAST I HEARD, SUGGESTIONS TO THE NEW MAYOR-ELECT(BUD CLARK) CAN REACH HIM BY
|
|
136 WRITING THEM DOWN AND PLACING THEM IN THE HANDS OF THE GEORGIA PACIFIC BLDG. 'ART' STATUES
|
|
137 ++++++++++++++++THE INTEREST RATES IN THIS COUNTRY ARE DEFINITLY NOT A FUNCTION OF THE MARKET.THEY ARE DETERMINED BY THE
|
|
138 FEDERAL MONEY SUPPLY, AND THE AMOUNT OF GOVERNMENT BORROWING. RIGHT NOW, THE GOVERNMENT IS SAPPING THE POOL OF CAPITAL AVAILABL
|
|
139 BY FLOODING THE BOND MARKETS. THUS INVESTORS, INSTEAD OF INVESTING IN BUSINESS, ARE GOING AFTER BONDS. THIS MEANS THAT BUSINES
|
|
140 MUST COMPETE FOR THE AVAILABLE CASH, AND THAT HELPS TO PUSH UP INTEREST RATES. HOWEVER, THESE PAST FEW MONTHS THE GOVERNMENT
|
|
141 HAS BEEN PUSHING THE INTEREST RATES TO ARTIFICIAL LOWS BY INCREASING THE MONEY SUPPLY AND MAKING TAX CONDITIONS SUCH THAT MONEY
|
|
142 THAT WAS NOT FORMERLY AVAILABLE IS NOW BEING MADE AVAILABLE. FOR INSTANCE, OVERSEAS INVESTMENT IN THE U.S. IS TAXED AT A MUCH
|
|
143 LOWER RATE NOW THAN JUST LAST YEAR. THIS IS DRAINING OFF MONEY FROM EUROPEAN MONEY MARKETS THAT OTHERWISE WOULD HAVE NOT COME
|
|
144 HERE. THE INTEREST RATES NOW ARE JUST WHERE THE GOVERNMENT WANTS THEM, HIGH ENOUGH THAT INVESTORS WILL INVEST IN THE U.S.
|
|
145 BANKING MARKETS, BUT LOW ENOUGH THAT PEOPLE ARE NOT REVOLTING IN THE STREET. FURTHER, THE RESCUE OD CONTINENTIAL-ILLINOISE IS A
|
|
146 PERFECT EXAMPLE OF THE DESPERATE ATTEMPTS OF THE ADMINISTRATION TO KEEP THE BANKING INDUSTRY FROM SHAKING, THIS FROM AN
|
|
147 ADMINISTRATION THAT IS PLEDGED TO REMOVE'GOVERNMENT INTERFERENCE' FROM BUSINESS.

161 Friar Tuck: clever. That's the technique used by many of the aspiring comics -
|
|
162 take a commonplace action or object, and look at it Objectively.
|
|
163 Alex: The terms for the printout sound acceptable to me. When I took
|
|
164 RPGII a couple of terms ago, the instructor gave us a problem to code which
|
|
165 he had had to code some time earlier. (for work or his own class, I can't recall
|
|
166 which). He was rather proud of his solution. I (speaking humbly now),
|
|
167 managed to write it in half the code, and somewhat more elegantly than his
|
|
168 solution. Hopefully I have retained enough of it to write any necessary
|
|
169 Q & D programs. (question: what output formatting do you have in mind?)
|
|
170 After PorSFiS, we retired to L'homme's abode, where we consumed
|

171 excessive quantities of vile orange liquid. God, what a disaster.
|
|
172 You'll probably read about it in the paper Sunday.
|
|
173 P. Hawthorne: I'm not in a position to speak about inclusion in the
|
|
174 Archive buy, so I shan't. (Ha, `spell alert', run THAT thru your spelling
|
|
175 checker!). However, since I have been taking programming classes at PCC
|
|
176 for two years, I am curious - who is this friend who can do the printouts
|
|
177 for you? Just wondering if I know the person (and how this printing would
|
|
178 take place).

|
182 Leonard: It is certainly true that a means has been provided to include
|
|
183 Newtonian Physics within the scope of modern cosmological theory, as a
|
|
184 localized phenomenon of limited scale. The point that I was addressing
|
|
185 concerns the change in the theory concerning the nature of the observer.
|
|
186 This has implications concerning the entire nature of reality, not just
|
|
187 one small sub-set of laws relating to large body interactions. Your
|
|
188 statement illustrates the point perfectly, that Newton's Laws are no
|
|
189 longer considered adequate to describe the nature of physical experience.
|
|
190
|
|
191 A reasonable English language equivalent of an ancient oriental expression,
|
|
192 used in various contexts, goes like this: "May you live in interesting
|
|
193 times." Well, we certainly live in interesting times. Many things that once
|
|
194 seemed solid and absolute are now mere will-o-the-wisps. It's not always
|
|
195 comfortable when great changes are taking place, but it's seldom boring.
|
|
196 The very nature of the global social structure is obliged to face this
|
|
197 inevitable evolution. Instantaneous planet wide communication, rapid means
|
|
198 of transportation, and the potential for actions that can have global
|
|
199 consequences, makes it imperative to rethink the way we deal with each
|
|
200 other. There's a great experiment in progress to see if human beings can
|
|
201 evolve to a point where survival is possible, on a planet modified to
|
|
202 "suit one's desires".

205 Well put! What I am waiting for though, is the direct satellite transmission
|
|
206 systems to come into common use. (I.E. having satellites up there for that
|
|
207 specific use.) That is going to make some interesting communications problems
|
|
208 Most notibly, countries (particulaly the U.S and USSR) will be able to feed
|
|
209 their propaganda programs direct to the people they want. Just as important
|
|
210 though, people in underdeveloped areas will have acess to a significantly
|
|
211 improved communications service. Thus allowing them to get a better view of
|
|
212 the world around them. Maybe this will reduce the chance of such things as
|
|
213 war, since it becomes much more difficult for one side to lie when both
|
|
214 sides of the story are available to the general populance. Maybe that's why
|
|
215 it hasn't happened by now? No, I think it is only that nobody has figured
|
|
216 out how to recover the money put into the project yet. Ah well...

222 I REMEMBER THINKING ABOUT SUCH THINGS AS THE SCENERY FLASHED PAST
|
|
223 US, AS WE WERE HURTLED THROUGH SPACE, LATE LAST NIGHT, A MAD MAN
|
|
224 AT THE CONTROLS OF A '67 MUSTANG. MY HEAD WAS REELING FROM THE EFFECTS OF THE VILE
|
|
225 ORANGE LIQUID, AND MY MIND CRIED OUT FOR DRAMAMINE. AS WE LEFT EVERYTHING ON 82N
|
|
226 STREET FAR BEHIND, I WONDERED IF DREAMTOUCHER AND I WOULD EVER SAFELY REACH HOME.
|
|
227 I HAPPENED TO LOOK OUT THE BACK WINDOW, AND JUST HAPPENED TO SEE
|
|
228 RED AND BLUE FLASHING LIGHTS FAR BEHIND US. THE DRIVER REACHED
|
|
229 UNDER THE DASH, AND DID SOMETHING I COULDN'T SEE, AND SUDDENLY, WITH A HORRIBLE
|
|
230 SHRIEKING SOUND, ACCOMPANIED BY
|
|
231 THE SMELL OF BURNING RUBBER, WE WERE MILES AWAY, ON THE OTHER SIDE OF GLISAN.
|

232 DREAMTOUCHER PILED OUT ONTO THE STREET, KISSING THE GROUND, AND

233 SHAKING IN OUR SHOES. AND THEN, WITH

234 A HEARTY "HI HO THE MUSTANG WAS GONE. DELTA FIVE

244 WHEN DREAMTOUCHER AGAIN WOKE HE WAS IN A SMALL METAL ROOM. SNOWRUNNER PACED
|
|
245 NEARBY. ELXTIA WAS TALKING TO HIM OUT OF A SMALL 'WINDOW' ABOVE A TECNOLOGY
|
|
246 ENCRUSTED DESK NEARBY.
|
|
247 HE AROSE QUICKLY AND LOOKED FRANTICLY AROUND FOR HIS PACK AND WALKING STICK.
|
|
248 SHE EXPLAINED HOW TO OPEN THE BOX IN THE WALL IN WHICH IT WAS STOED.
|
|
249 THEMNAX MET HIM AT THE DOOR WHEN HE EMERGED. "WEVE DECEIDED WE HAVE TO
|
|
250 GO IN. IF YOU DON'T WANT TO COME WITH US, CAPTAIN SUREMVEN WILL DROP YOU
|
|
251 OFF AT THE PLANET GLISON, WHICH IS IN A PART OF SPACE EARTH HUMANS CALL

|
|
255 THEY MADE THAIR WAY BACK THROUGH A SERIES OF CATWALKS INTO THE
|
|
256 BLIKTRANFA'S CARGO HOLD. NESTLED AMONG THE INTERMODAL 40 FOOT VANS WAS
|

257 A LANANARAN SINGLE-SHIP. ELXTIA WAS ALREADY THERE.

258 AS SOON AS THE THREE WERE ONBOARD, ELXTIA CYCLED THE LOCK AND CAPTAIN

259 SUREMVEN DUMPED THE HOLD'S ATMOSPHERE AND OPENED THE CARGO DOOR NEAREST
|
|
260 THAIR BOAT. AS SOON AS THE CARGO LATCHES RELEASED THEY WERE THROUGH THE

261 LARGER SHIP'S BAY DOORS AND AWAY.
|
|
262 WHEN, IN STEALTH MODE, THEY SET DOWN AT THE PARRALLEL INN (PC+S)
|
|
263 DREAMTOUCHER WAS GLAD TO BE FREE OF THE NARROW CONFINES OF ELXTIAS 'BOAT'.
|
|
264 BUT IT WAS FROM ONE NEED TO MOVE AT AN UNCOMPFORTABLY QUICK PACE TO ANOTHER.
|
|
265 IT SEEMED LIKE YEARS AS HE SAT WITH THE OTHER BBS PEOPLE, SIPPING A VILE

|

267 THE SURFACE JAUNT FROM THERE TO L'HOMME'S SAFEHOUSE WAS TOO FEARFUL TO TELL.

427 THE MOST IMPORTANT MONEY/POWER/ROMANTIC-LOVE DISCOVERY SINCE THE INDUSTRIAL REVOLUTION
|
|
428 An entire new field of knowledge has been discovered by Dr. Frank R. Wallace, a former Senior Research Chemist
|
|
429 for E.I. du Pont de Nemours & Co. Since mid-1976, Dr. Wallace has researched Psychuous Sex to uncover a powerful array
|
|
430 of new knowledge called Neo-Tech. That new knowledge allows any person to prosper monetarily, personally, romantically,
|
|
431 sexually, and financially anywhere in the world, even during personal or financial hard times, inflation, boom times,
|
|
432 recession, depression, war.
|
|
433 Neo-Tech is a new, scientific method for capturing major financial and personal advantages everywhere. Neo-Tech is
|
|
434 a new knowledge that has nothing to do with positive thinking, religion, or anything mystical. Once a person is exposed to
|
|
435 Neo-Tech, he can quietly profit from anyone - anywhere, anytime. He can prosper almost anywhere on earth and succeed under
|
|
436 almost any economic or political conditions. Combined with Psychuous Sex, Neo-Tech applies to all money and power
|
|
437 gathering techniques - to all situations involving the transfer of money, power, or love.
|
|
438 Neo-Tech has its roots in the constant financial pressures and incentives to develop the easiest, most profitable
|
|
439 methods of gaining advantages. Over the decades, all successful salesmen, businessmen, politicians, writers, lawyers,
|
|
440 entrepreneurs, investors, speculators, gamers, and Casanovas have secretly searched for shortcuts that require little
|
|
441 skill yet contain the invisible effectiveness of the most advanced techniques. Dr. Wallace identified those shortcuts
|
|
442 and honed them into practical formats called Neo-Tech. These never-before-known formats transfer money, power, and
|
|
443 prestige from the uninformed to the informed. Those informed can automatically take control of most situations involving
|
|
444 money and power.
|
|
445 Who is the Neo-Tech Man? He is a man of quite power - a man who cannot lose. He can extract money at will. He can
|
|
446 control anyone unknowledgeable about Neo-Tech - man or women.
|
|
447 The Neo-Tech man has the power to render others helpless, even wipe them out, but he wisely chooses to use just enough
|
|
448 power to give himself unbeatable casino-like advantages in all endeavors for maximum long-range profits. His Neo-Tech
|
|
449 maneuvers are so subtle that they can be executed with casual confidence. His hidden techniques let him win consistently
|
|
450 and comfortably - year after year, decade after decade. Eventually, Neo-Tech men and women will quietly rule everywhere.
|
|
451 The Neo-Tech man can easily and safely beat any opponent. He can quickly impoverish anyone he chooses. He can immediately
|
|
452 and consistently acquire large chunks of money, $2000, $10000, or more in a single day, repeatedly. He has the power to
|
|
453 make more money in a week than most people can make in a full year without knowing Neo-Tech. He commands profits and respect.
|
|
454 He controls business deals and emotional situations to acquire money and power...and to command love. He can regain lost
|
|
455 love. He can subjugate a business or personal adversary. He wins any lover at will. He can predict stock prices - even gold
|
|
456 and silver prices...He quietly rules all.
|
|
457 Within A Week, An Ordinary Person Can Become A Professional Neo-Tech Practitioner. As people gain this knowledge, they
|
|
458 will immediately begin using its techniques because they are irresistibly easy, yet completely potent. Within days after
|
|
459 gaining this knowledge, a person can safely bankrupt opponents - or slowly profit from them, week after week. He can benefit
|
|
460 from business and investment endeavors - from dealing with the boss to the biggest oil deal. He can also benefit from any
|
|
461 relationship - from gaining the repect of peers to inducing love from a partner or regaining lost love from an ex-partner.
|
|
462 He will gain easy money and power in business, investments, the professions, politics, and personal life.
|
|
463 Indeed, with Neo-Tech, a person not only captures unbeatable advantages over others, but commands shortcuts to
|
|
464 profits, power, and romance. The ordinary person can quickly become a Clark Kent - a quite superman - taking command of all.
|
|
465 He can fincancially and emotionally control whomever he deals with. He becomes the man-on-the-hill, now. He is armed with
|
|
466 unbeatable weapons. All will yield to the new-breed Neo-Tech man, the no-limit man. All except the Neo-Tech man will die
|
|
467 unfulfilled.
|
|
468 Order now...Don't delay

550 To the forgotten adventure in RAINdeer (petrov where are you???)
|

551
|
|
552 "Dr. Spock", I said with the cool voice that knowledge has to offer.
|
|
553 "Very well", the trunk replied as it opened to reveal its contents: Our
|
|
554 luggage, and more importantly, my NET issue camera. Our mission was to extract
|
|
555 as much information about the operation of the Rajneesh cult as possible, then
|
|
556 take the appropriate actions to end the cult's regime in Oregon, and return the
|
|
557 land to the 1001 Pals of Oregon, that band of lawyers, who were recently featured
|
|
558 in the Steven Spielberg hit movie, "Laws - Just when you thought it was safe
|
|
559 to back into the courtroom"
|
|
560 Joshua was playing the part of a Pals representative, while Gaudy and
|
|
561 I played the part of reporter and photographer. We hoped our guise would be
|
|
562 sufficient to get us in to the inner sanctum of the cult, and then to our goal,
|
|
563 Rajneesh Dangerfield.
|
|
564 Ma Prem Rivers was our guide for the little excursion from the road to
|
|
565 the group of buildings that made up the central part of the RAINdeer community.
|
|
566 I clicked off a few shots with my camera while Rivers expounded the virtues
|
|
567 of the Rajneesh religion, and what the deciples in RAINdeer were doing to
|
|
568 further its cause.
|
|
569 Gaudy played her best Ed Bradley, while trying not to be too obvious in
|
|
570 her distaste for this obvious facade the money and power hungry guru was
|
|
571 putting on.

572 As we made our way to the largest of the central buildings, I noticed
|
|
573 through the infa-red sensor in my camera one building that seemed to have a
|
|
574 much higher mean temperature than the rest of the buildings. There was no
|
|
575 noticeable activity near the building, but the readings were unmistakable.
|
|
576 "What's in that building", I asked Rivers, pointing towards the 'hot'
|
|
577 building.
|
|
578 "Oh that...That's just a storage barn for food", she replied in a cool and
|
|
579 trained manner most likely used for inquisitive people like us. But there was
|
|
580 a trace of worry my NET tuned senses picked up. Just a trace, but still
|
|
581 "It is now time to meet the High Council of RAINdeer. Please no pictures
|
|
582 until you are told it is ok.", Rivers told us as we entered the large green
|
|
583 building.
|
|
584 "The high council indeed", I thought to myself as I switched my camera to
|
|
585 "L".
