||
66 Once upon a time there was a little engine, whose name was Sam. Sam was
|
||
67 born in 1967, and has many happy memories of his childhood. Sam can
|
||
68 remember drinking crystal clear gasoline, with a nice lead flavoring,
|
||
69 and on special weekends he can even remember drinking Premium!
|
||
70 The years were not kind to Sam, however. When he was about 6 years old,
|
||
71 he pulled into a station aand got his first taste of Gasohol. Yeach!
|
||
72 He spent the next year coughing and sputtering on the putrid excuse for
|
||
73 gasoline that every other engine had to endure. Eventually, the gasoline
|
||
74 finally cleared up and he began breathing easier. Things seemed different,
|
||
75 though. Either he was getting older, or something was contaminating his
|
||
76 fuel, because he just couldn't seem to make the power he used to be able
|
||
77 to make, and occasionally he got a severe case of the shutters.
|
||
78 One fine day when he was 12 years old, he was out driving and something
|
||
79 very bad happened. He ran into an old friend. Hard. When Sam woke up
|
||
80 he was in very unfamiliar surroundings. He looked around and he couldn't
|
||
81 see anything he recognized. Junk was piled everywhere. He cried a little,
|
||
82 he missed his old home.
|
||
83 Sam sat where he was for the next 5 years. Dust covered him. Occasionally,
|
||
84 he got poked and prodded but nobody moved him. Finally, one day he felt
|
||
85 himself being lifted up and put in the back of a truck.
|
||
86 Sam had never had anything like this happen to him. He felt himself
|
||
87 coming apart, and he got shoved into a very hot, wet, tank for a very
|
||
88 long time. He was cut and scraped and pounded on and people stuck funny
|
||
89 things into his orfices. When it was all over, he felt himself being
|
||
90 put back together, and gently lifted and placed in a brand new home.
|
||
91 Sam felt great! He felt even better than when he was new, and he couldn't
|
||
92 wait to get out on the streets and taste some gas!
|
||
93 Sam had a suprise coming for him, though. It happened when he rolled
|
||
94 out into the street and turned over for the first time in 6 years.
|
||
95 YYYYEEEAAACCCHHH!!!! You call this gas!!!! he thought to himself.
|
||
96 This was the weakest piswater he had ever tasted! Even Gasohol had not
|
||
97 been this bad! Sam looked over at the station pump. Premium, it said.
|
||
98 PREMIUM! Premium was supposto be great, not garbage! Geesh, thought
|
||
99 Sam, you mean I have to drink this garbage for the next 10 years!
|
||
100
|
||
101 Now, someone tells Sam that he can't have any more gas because of an Iraq.
|
||
102 Sam is not sad. Would you be?

119 Zephyr, it uld greatly help if you could possibly mention a name. I have
|
||
120 used the plus border several times before on this board - although never

121 using the handle 'Ariel' before, and it would be interesting if you were
|

122 actually referring to one of my earlier entries.
|

123 As a matter of fact, the inspiration for the name stemmed from a quick look

124 around my room and laying my eyes on the television antenna sticking up.

|

464
|
||
465 Well, it's 6:45 pm and I've just finished listening to the President's
|
||
466 speech to congress, and it is interesting to note the shallowness of the
|
||
467 TV commentators so called `analysis' of the speech.
|
||
468 I really think that the big question here is the same as the question little
|
||
469 kids play iin the game `I dare you'.
|
||
470 Saddam Hussein is really only interested in the answer to one question; Will
|
||
471 the United States invade Kuwait? The facts are that he has ALREADY annexed
|
||
472 Kuwait,
|
||
473 he ALREADY has control of what he wants, and as long as he stays put he will
|
||
474 continue to retain that control. There has never in history been a case where
|
||
475 a boycott has ever forced any country to do anything, and the mere thought that
|
||
476 our current boycott will force him to do anything is, to me, plainly foolish.
|
||
477 The current boycott really only serves one purpose; to prevent the importation
|
||
478 of weapons, and to stop the continuing buildup and refinement of Iraq's army.
|
||
479 If the president goes on national TV and says the quarrel is not with the
|
||
480 people of Iraq, then how will he justify boycotts of food to those people?
|
||
481 No, the President's real fear is that by allowing trade with Iraq there will
|
||
482 be continued support of the army in the form of supplies, spare parts, new
|
||
483 weapons, etc.
|
||
484 In any case, Iraq is in possession of the Kuwait, and will retain that
|
||
485 possession unless forced out. Hussein will never leave voluntarily, and why
|
||
486 should he? Even if no country ever buys oil from him again, he will not lose
|
||
487 by staying. As long as there is oil in Kuwait and Iraq, he will have a
|
||
488 commodity that the world wants, and if one day all the worlds oil runs out,
|
||
489 the world will have little choice but to come to him. Anyway, there is
|
||
490 always going to be somebody who will buy oil from him, maybe not now, but
|
||
491 in the future. Even the promise of one day selling oil to the world will
|
||
492 be worth more than the advantages of leaving.
|
||
493 Hussein knows that if the United States relly wants him to get out they
|
||
494 will have no choice but to invade and fight a war. If fact, the longer the
|
||
495 U.S. does NOT invade, the less likely it is that they will, and the more
|
||
496 legitimate the occupation will be. So, the question he really wants to know,
|
||
497 is will President Bush really do it? Will he really fight? In fact, it is
|
||
498 imperative that Bush make it seem as though he will, even if he has no
|
||
499 intention of doing so.
|
||
500 Much of what I saw tonight has that showmanship to it. It is known
|
||
501 in advance that Bush will threaten. The difficulty lies in guessing if
|
||
502 Bush will really fight.
|
||
503 One other thing that I saw tonight that really makes me happy is that
|
||
504 apparently Bush has learned from history about hostages.
|
||
505 How many people here know what Israels policy is on taking hostages? The
|
||
506 goverment of Israel considers a hostage as already dead. Israel will only
|
||
507 permit a hostage taker one way out: unconditional surrender. If this is
|
||
508 not forthcoming Israeli police will not hesitate to shoot the hostage in
|
||
509 the process of killing the hostage taker. As a result, Israel has very
|
||
510 few of it's citizens taken hostage.
|
||
511 Not two long ago, the U.S. had approx 200 of it's citizens taken
|
||
512 hostage in the American embassy in Iran. This country foolishly bargained
|
||
513 and negotiated for a YEAR to get them back, when it should have mounted a
|
||
514 concerted attack on the embassy after the first six hours of captivity.
|
||
515 Yes, it would have been hard, espically since many if not all of the hostages
|
||
516 had been killed, but a sucessful attack would have also killed the hostage
|
||
517 takers and destroyed Iran's barganing power. It might have also weakened
|
||
518 Iran enough so that it would not have lasted the Iran/Iraq war, or put it more
|
||
519 pro America. Indeed it was those original hostages that provided a rallying
|
||
520 point for the people of Iran to develop such anti-americanism.
|
||
521 I was one of those people who at the time hated the U.S. policy
|
||
522 to the Iran hostages. I remember hoping they would die so the country would
|
||
523 stop it's useless moralizing and focus it's attention elsewhere.
|
||
524 Now, Iraq has 3000 of our citizens held hostage. Part of the reason
|
||
525 that they even are still holding them is the lesson we taught the world over
|
||
526 10 years ago, namely that the U.S. is willing to negotiate with hostage takers.
|
||
527 When the U.S. is forced to invade, as it almost surely will have to, many of
|
||
528 those 3000 people will die, many many more than 200. In essence, we bought
|
||
529 those 200 lives long ago with the many lives of those hostages that are
|
||
530 currently in Kuwait and Iraq and will almost certainly die. I hope every
|
||
531 one of you out there who were supportive of President Carter's policys back
|
||
532 then to think about this. Look to see a war in the next few months. I do.

542
|
||
543 One begins to wonder, after repeated assaults on the
|
||
544 psyche, crude insults to the intellect and bleating appeals
|
||
545 { to perceived emotions.....will these bastards stop at
|
||
546 nothing? I'm talking about ADVERTISERS, of course, the sleek
|
||
547 young men and women who are the heart, lungs, and cerebral
|
||
548 cortex of the media, where so many of us languish for so many
|
||
549 hours and then slip into bed wondering "Huh? What was that
|
||
550 again?"
|
||
551
|
||
552 My latest rude shock was a radio commercial, and not
|
||
553 even a fast-talking hard-sell commercial either. It was one
|
||
554 { of those One-to-One jobs...a newly introspective young man
|
||
555 speaking in hushed, confessional tones from the back of an
|
||
556 ambulance. He had been in an auto accident, apparently, and
|
||
557 though he felt certain he was OK, he was nevertheless being
|
||
558 rushed to a hospital, and the experience had put him in a
|
||
559 reflective mood. After a few moments of allowing the listener
|
||
560 to wonder if the commercial is for Disk Brakes...
|
||
561 Insurance...maybe some new kind of user friendly Medical
|
||
562 { Center or Ambulance Service....he s{arts talking about his
|
||
563 mother. And underwear. Yup. Underwear. It was a radio
|
||
564 commercial for Hanes Underwear. You know..."Mom always told
|
||
565 me something like this would happen someday, and when it did,
|
||
566 I'm sure glad to be wearing clean Hane's Underwear...."
|
||
567
|
||
568 In a nearly related item...there's this business of
|
||
569 LABELING FAT CONTENT in food items available at your favorite
|
||
570 supermarket. One afternoon, like a righteous apparition from
|
||
571 the Consumer Pastry Heaven, there appeared in my kitchen a
|
||
572 package of Keebler cookies... little crunchy guys, with an
|
||
573 interior glob of gooey chocolate in a chemically altered,
|
||
574 permanently melted state. These little suckers were great,
|
||
575 and I ate about six of them before I began to have doubts
|
||
576 about that little notice right there on the package
|
||
577 proclaiming this snack was a "No Cholesterol, Low In
|
||
578 Saturated Fat" variety of off the shelf mass-consumer snack
|
||
579 food item. Something just seemed not quite right, so I began
|
||
580 to look into some of the math on the label. Well, hell, this
|
||
581 ain't too bad...only 5 grams of fat per serving. Let's see
|
||
582 how many Gooey Cookies they consider "One Serving". You can
|
||
583 see where this is going. Yup. One Serving = One Cookie. These
|
||
584 { things are about the size of a silver dollar. One Cookie is
|
||
585 only enough to make you think six or nine more might be nice.
|

736 I'm curious how you got from them the idea that I am
|

737 "perfectly willing to believe the worst" about America, while
|

738 "believing the best about a country I don't live in." I don't

739 know about you, but I have lived in a foreign country, for

740 many years, and when I said "God Bless America" I wasn't just
|
||
741 jerking your chain. I love this country. I am a patriot, and
|
||
742 I constantly search for reasons to remain one. That's what
|
||
743 being an American is all about...not Nationalism, not Dogma
|
||
744 or Jingoism or "My Country Right or Wrong." Free choice. Free
|
||
745 thought. The freedom to express doubts and ask questions.
|
||
746 Questions like : Are we there to keep the world safe for
|
||
747 oil rich monarchies? Are we there to keep oil at around $20 a
|
||
748 barrel? Are we there to protect Europe and Japan's oil
|
||
749 supplies, and if so, doesn't that make us mercenaries? Are we
|
||
750 there because, as a nation, we are used to fighting and can't
|
||
751 imagine any other approach to the world's complexities? If
|
||
752 American men and women begin coming home in plastic bags, I
|
||
753 won't be the only one asking these questions. Maybe you
|
||
754 should be asking George Bush for a short "exact" essay, not
|
||
755 me.
|
||
756 If I run a quote and some lyrics up the ol' Backwater

||
757 flagpole, its not out of love for Saddam Hussein. In the
|
||
758 America I love, quotes, lyrics, hopes, fears, questions,
|

759 ideas and doubts can be expressed freely, with the hope of
|

760 stimulating more of the same, and without fear of being

776
|

777 I would note that we seem to see Iraq in a somewhat different light. Oil
|

778 is certainly a factor, but to me the most important reason we are there is
|

779 to get rid of husain, a man who is ruthless, competent and very ambitious.

793 I think the Gulf problem is that Hussein is literaly an insane person. He
|
||
794 just doesn't think like a normal individual. I would imagine his thought
|
||
795 processes are completely shortcircuited. I think that whatever images of the
|
||
796 rest of the world he carries around are completely unrelated to the real world.
|
||
797 I have a feeling that he thinks that his country is completely invincible, and
|
||
798 if there is a war he will continue fighting until every last soldier in Kuwait
|
||
799 is either killed or captured. Most people in this country, espically
|
||
800 newspaper columnists, are trying to analyse the confilict in sane terms and
|
||
801 are failing because there is just nothing to gain from the invasion, and
|
||
802 this does not jive with logic or even politics. I think that if we look at
|
||
803 it from Husseins view, and understand that his view is just completely wrong,
|
||
804 that we will make sense of it.

810 True, Ariel, true. But it might serve us well to
|
||
811 remember that Adolf Hitler was pretty well full tilt insane
|
||
812 too, and that knowledge didn't make him go away, make the
|
||
813 Nazis stop fighting for him, or give us the secret to
|
||
814 conquering him easily. Crazy or not, Hitler knew what he was
|
||
815 { trying to do, and came close to doing it. Too close.
|
||
816 There are a lot of people in the Mideast who don't
|
||
817 assume Saddam Hussein is a lunatic. He has the fervent
|
||
818 loyalty of a lot of Arabs, for a lot of reasons other than
|
||
819 his iron fist and Holy War rhetoric. It would be a big
|
||
820 mistake to assume just because he's clearly an insane menace
|
||
821 to us, that the Iraqi people--or anybody else in the region-
|
||
822 -would rush to thank us for screaming into Baghdad with a
|
||
823 squadron of fighter jets to try and blow Saddam and his
|
||
824 family into the arms of Allah.
|
||
825 There's a joke that defines a "Moderate Arab" as one who
|
||
826 holds a blood grudge for only 20 generations. We might be
|
||
827 wise to remember that not every society has the microscopic
|
||
828 attention span we enjoy here. And in any case, the last thing
|
||
829 any Moslem wants, or will tolerate, is a bunch of sunburnt

|

871 Ok, the time is fixed, the date is marked, and the place is set for the

872 2nd annual end-of-summer Backwater party. The time is 5:00pm-6:00pm (pretty
|

873 fixed, eh?), the date is September 29th, and the place is chez L'homme, ie
|
||
874 my house in the wonderful suburb of Tigard. The address is
|
||
875 and the home telephone number is 641-xxxx (for those who need
|
||
876 additional directions). The plan is for anyone to bring a drink or dessert
|
||
877 or whatever (but you don't have to bring anything but yourselves) and I
|
||
878 will supply a nutritious dinner or two.
|
||
879
|
||
880 I am not very good at giving directions, but here goes a minimal try:
|
||
881 Get to 217 (I assume everyone can handle that). Take the Scholl's Ferry
|
||
882 Road exit, and head west on Scholl's Ferry (that means people going N
|
||
883 on 217 must double back over the freeway, and people going S simply
|
||
884 take the exit ramp and turn right). After you get over the freeway, you
|
||
885 will meet up with 1 traffic light, then a railroad crossing, then you
|
||
886 will meet another traffic light, which is 121st. Keeping going straight.
|
||
887 You will meet another traffic light, N. Dakota. Then take the next
|
||
888 left, which is Summer Lake Place.
