Dolphie had promised that I had been granted a spot in his kill file,
but that seems to not be the case.  In any event, I imagine what he
is trying to say is that the Girl Scouts are covertly anti-lesbian.
My contact with the Girl Scouts being, essentially, nil - I have
no idea whether or not this is true.  Kathleen's post seemed to 
imply otherwise. 

Anyway, Dolphie Dearest, is your point that the homosexual community
is not doing enough in it's efforts against the scouting community,
and that the Girl Scouts need to be brought into this unfortunate
war as well? Or, is your point to show that you can type, and do 
therefore exist?

Has anyone had any luck convincing your auto insurance company to insure
your and your lover's cars with family rates?  If so, who is your insurer?

Unfortunately, The Law has been rather vague on this point.  However,
in California at least, specific protections for sexual orientation
appear to have made it into the dusty tomes of legal history.  Perhaps
this will provide enough leverage to crack the BSA stance.  At the very
least, it seems to provide a good foundation for legal recourse by
'black-listed' homosexuals who want to be scout leaders.  

But the position of the Girl Scouts relative to homosexuality still
seems rather uncertain.  I suppose The Question is:  are there any 
openly (as opposed to covertly) lesbian Girl Scout leaders or aren't
there?

Correction--last year AAA changed their policy. Now MOTSS couples can
get a family membership.

We, my partner and I, get a multi-car discount from Allstate in 
downtown oakland. Toni Brooks is our agent. I don't know if this is
the same as a family discount. We pay $1,800 annually for 2 fairly
new cars.

A Night to RememberThe Titanic Ragtime Ball

Sail back 80 years to classic elegance aboard the luxury steamship RMS 
Titanic, set to sail in 1912. Dance the night away in the Grand Ballroom or 
slip away to view the majesty of towering icebergs glistening in the 
moonlight. Dance music will be provided by the Paul Price Society Orchestra,
with ragtime dance exhibitions by the Stanford Vintage Dance Ensemble. 

You need no experience in the easy dances of this period. As a part of your 
First-Class passage on the Titanic, you will be provided with expert 
instruction in the latest dance crazes of 1912, such as the Ragtime One-Step, 
Waltz, and Tango. Be fashionably early and catch the drift of the latest 
dances. World-renowned vintage dance instructor, Richard Powers, will show you
all you need to know to enjoy the evenings dancing.

The place to be Saturday evening, October 24, 1992, is the Roble Dance Studio,
375 Santa Teresa Street, Stanford, CA. Ragtime dance instruction with Richard 
Powers begins at 8 p.m. Dancing and diverse entertainments continue from 9 to 
midnight. Period attire is encouraged but optional. Possibilities include 
tails and gowns, nautical uniforms, or shuffleboard sporting whites.

Tickets are $20 in advance, $25 at the door, $10 full-time students. Send 
checks to: 	Friends of Dance at Stanford, 375 Santa Teresa St., Stanford, CA 
94305, or telephone (415) 723-1234.

The Stanford Ragtime Ball is sponsored by the Friends of Dance at Stanford and
all proceeds benefit Stanford dance scholarships.

Absolutely.  It's a primal instinct.  No matter what one's
philosophical beliefs about responsibility and property may be, one's
strongest instinct is to ensure the saftey of one's children at any
cost.  That includes cost to others.  It's very hard to reason with
someone who is motiviated by this instinct (as should be obvious by
now).

Is an "Asian remark" a remark made by an Asian? How do you know that
Eric is Asian? Or what is your definition of an "Asian remark" (and
why do you write it with a capital "A")?

Well, all the remarks he made so far really are insensitive and are
racially oriented (or "racially Asian", whatever that's supposed to
mean). For example, he refers to Japanese as "Japs", which is
certainly not very polite.

My trusty mechanic retired and moved to Arizona.  I'm looking for
somebody reliable with reasonable prices to service two Toyota
Corollas in the Berkeley/Albany/El Cerrito Area.

Any recommendations?  Thanks in advance.
