Subject:      Will the male organisms shut up?

Now hear this mallrats, you got two (2) reasonable (though not sensible cuz
that is the way biology and evolution did it) possibilities. One, all male
entities shut up, get out of this discussion, because no man is knocked up here
except me and I do not wish to discuss it, I am sick to my stomach all the time
and cannot sleep. At least it doesn't show yet. For reasons of making a living
in the coming slave economy under Capn Bill if he gets in, as I explained
yesterday, the fetus will be carried to term and released on its own
recognizance pending the filling out of the informed consent form that it wants
to be born.

If you got only one woman, recruit more. Pay money for them to curse you out,
you deserve it, it would be a meaningful growth experience.

Two, you shut this station down, go off the air.

Rich, Rich, Rich...

A little testy about our need to feel that our beliefs are ABSOLUTELY-THE-BE-
ALL-END-ALL-CAN'T-BE-WRONG-OR-THE-WORLD-WILL-CRASH-AND-BURN-AND-FALL-APART
aren't we? I wish I had my King James bible and library of books on Old
Testament Law and history at hand to give some choice quotes to frame your
above arguement -- but I don't, so I'll have to come back to the above tomorrow
...

It seems a bit hard to comprehend how a Church that historically has had such
little regard for the sanctity of life can suddenly take up the charge of
protecting the existence of the unborn....

"AH, BUT WAIT, that was then! We don't burn witches or heretics anymore! We're
just good people. Doing what God wants. Just happy, smiling, wholesome, GOOD,
people! Protecting the world from that awful fallen angel Lucifer!"

Yeah, right. Just want to make everyone fall into step. If we don't accept your
views, hell, you'll just fight the good fight and legislate them. How can one
argue with the goodness of God?... What really "P*SSES" ME off, is the fact
that while I believe in your instrinsic right to live your life your way,
believe what you want to believe, etc, you can't accept that anything outside
of God's right & just Law might be "good", "right", or "just"...


Here's something to think about over your next cup of coffee:

1. Why did Lucifer rebel against God if all was so wonderful and rosy in
Heaven? (Stock biblical answers will not be accepted for this exercise..)

2. Why did God want to hide the wisdom of the Tree of the Knowledge of Life?
What else is he hiding, and why?

3. What if <<gasp!>> God is the bad guy? (Hell, many of us have biological
fathers that were jerks, maybe our Heavenly Father is, too....)


Now, I'm not stating anything in the above message as an insult, but rather to
suggest that there are <<gasp, again!>> ALTERNATE BELIEFS to the standard
Judeo-Christian spiel, and if the rest of us have to listen to your crap...


EVERY NOW AND THEN YOU'RE GONNA HAVE TO LISTEN TO OURS!!!!

I cannot think of their names, those little many-legged bugs with hard backs,
no more than a half-inch or so long, most often found in the damp earth under
planks behind your garage, near your mother's flowers. When they are exposed
to the light, or maybe it is only when you nudge them, they roll up into a
tight little ball for protection, a tight little ball for protection, and it
would take a patient person to see their uncurling that evening.

The only way to avoid great pain concerning our mortal lot is to ensure that
one lives an impoverished, sullen, begrudging, disappointed, and above all
hopeless, unenthusiastic life without joy. It is never too early to begin pre-
paring for the end. Why be merciful? In this savage masochism savage masochism
there are incidentally destroyed many of the comforts of being which can as
well be cloaks of discouragement as of bright engage.

All human hope is spurious and nothing begins until this is irredeemably a
part of your (first) waking consciousness. Probably nothing begins.

To hope, to feel joy, anticipation, joie de vivre, hunger for experience, is
to be attended on the instant, or soon enough, by the devils who are the fear
that you will lose what you have begun to desire. Let's straighten that out,
those devils who know you will lose it. They manifest as hypochondria (you
suddenly know you have cancer, or worse), every kind of paranoia, and if these
are successfully repressed, suppressed, then the unconscious mind (yes, it is
there) engineers an accident--bad cut, broken limb--to remind you not to go
getting your hopes up. This is more than Dad on the job. This is the real
and awful dynamics of human feeling.

we were on the air DRUNK--a definite no-no.  And then we told the FCC to fuck
