Vampire Bats live in South America, and have been known to feed on beef
cattle, frequently. They don't eat the cattle, just suck some blood,
though there are problems with them sucking lots of blood and weakening the
cow.
The biggest problem in Africa with cattle is mosquitos.

Actually, one of the strongest possible vampire-origin theories has to do with
a physiological condition brought on by a porphyrin absence, or lack, in the
system.  I suggest looking this up in a medical text, primarily because I
don't want to get anything wrong.  But, briefly, some of the symptoms
demonstrated are:

	gums pulling away from the teeth,
	extreme skin sensitivity to light, particularly sunlight, in which it
		is not unknown to cause serious skin burn and damage,
	eye sensitivity to light, blindness not unknown,
	an inability to properly metabolize the proteins gained from red
		meat, leading to an abnormal hunger for same.

I looked this up myself after reading Barbara Hambley's book.  Don't remember
the exact title, something like "They Who Hunt the Night".
These are actual conditions suffered by a small number of people today.  And
they have access to modern medical facilities.  Consider what it would be like
for people a century or more in the past.

Well, of course.  Vampires are (were) human beings, so they
would act human.

Actually, you fit the description of a *fictional* vampire...those in the vein
from Count Dracula to the Lost Boys.  Traditional vampires from folklore are
ruddy in complexion, gaunt, and dressed like dead peasentry.

Ah, Vlad.  One of Europes nastiest despots.  Supposedly the model for Count
Dracula in the original book.  But not really the source for all the vampire
stories.

The vampires of folklore were believed to be the restless dead.  Usually, when
an epidemic was hitting a village, the near-deceased would complain of being
haunted by the first person to die suddenly...usually in dreams.  So, the
villagers would dig up the corpse and determine it was a vampire if:

   a. There were no signs of decomposition.
OR
   b. There was 'new' skin, 'fresh' blood, etc. 
      (that is, signs of decomposition).

Then they would neutralize it, either by doing something like decapitating it,
or giving it something to keep it occupied.  Folkloric vampires are notorious
for being terrible powers of evil...and being preoccupied by things which would
bore a two year old child in seconds.

For a good book on the origins of the vampire mythos, read _Vampires, Burial,
and Death_, a recent book with heaps o' footnotes & references, written by
someone whose name I can't recall.  I'll post it later.

This book is a must for anyone who thinks they know anything about vampires.

A little help from the facts is always nice.  For example, did you know
that as of fiscal year 1991, the federal budget for the Department of 
Human Health and Services (and this is listed as the "*third* largest govt 
agency") was $5,052,000,000.00 [that's over a half a trillion baby], while 
the defense appropriations for the same year were less than $300-billion?  
and that this ratio of military to other federal spending has been almost 
constant since 1972 and the kick off of the "Great Society"?  You want to 
talk about a Big Lie, it is this: that military spending has been the 
severest drain on our national economy.  That's not what the facts say. Not 
that I'm for more military spending, mind you. 3 bill is not'n to sneeze 
at!

the fact people are being employed by a specific government program doesn't
mean that the program has any economic, military, or political merit.

Try this out:  I live in a district that receives $200 million through
the government with their new paper-doll making project.  It employs half
of the community and keeps the area vitalized.  The government also stifles
all research funds to the area that don't go for paper-doll R&D.  (Therefore,
the paper-doll project funds education and, indirectly, all local
philanthropies through worker's donations.)

So you can see the value of government paper-doll making.  If you stop it,
my community will be crushed.

i'm less worried about an innefficient congress than i am about the executive
branch taking even more legislative powers in violation of the constitution.
check out a U.S. government book... the president doesn't write laws.  The
veto itself is simply a check to keep the congress from becoming too powerful.
He has the power to send back the whole damn bill.  That's enough.

In "Economics in One Lesson," Hazlitt starts the first chapter by
describing a seen where a young hoodlum chucked a brick through a
storefront window.  One bystander says "well, look at the bright side, a
glazier will now get more work."  Hazlitt then shows that this is not a
bright side.  The store owner may have been wanting to spend the $150
on a new suit.  But he will now need to repair the window, and one less
suit will come into being because of it.

This is the seen and the unseen.  A government project, military or not,
is easily visable, while the products that did not come into being because
of the diverted resources are never seen.

Guns and weapons, up to an extent, are needed for security.  But the
arms race was making weapons well beyond the need for defense.  This
industry, then, is a black hole.  Very little is gained in wealth or
comfort from the extra weapons themselves.  The money that was used to
create them kept something of value from coming into existence.

Ahhh, the foul stench of ignorance :-)

A word on military spending.  I lived in Harford County, MD for some
time.  Aberdeen Proving Ground is located there, taking about 1/3 of the
land area of Harford Co.  It also happens that APG is the largest
employer in Harford County (something like  20% of the working
population).  Now if a democrat gets into office and cuts spending, can
you tell me what's going to happen?  Military spending is not a pawn. 
It's a very deep issue.  Not only that, but look at all that benefits
from military spending.  Whether you know it or not, something like 60%
of college technical research (I'm not sure if it's all technical or
just in the comp. sci. field; I don't have the figures sitting in front
of me) is funded by the Pentagon.  So you want to give more money to the
schools?  More power to ya.  Look at all the contract work that is subed
out by the government.  It is a major catalyst to the American economy. 
I think we all agree that military needs to be cut, but it's not so
simple that it can be done overnight.

As for the line-item veto bit, one of the reasons why the Republican
party is pushing for it is because congressmen like using a little trick
called midnight annexation, ruining an otherwise good bill.
