Hi All,

I live just south of Delano Park in Decatur and work in Bldg. 15 at
Intergraph.  I work fairly regular hours (7:30-4:15) and am willing
to be flexible about start/ending hours.  Is there anyone out there
whose willing to save some gas, reduce congestion a wee bit, and form
a carpool?

_I_ think that society in general, not just the individual benefits by 
placing the value of entertainment in proper perspective to education 
and work. I enjoy entertainment as much as anyone, but grew up in a
family where the "head of the household" spent his weekends (and
weekdays where possible) plopped on the sofa watching as many ball
games as possible  (sometimes switching between more than one game on
different channels and  tracking another periodically on the radio). I
would have dearly loved to have some of that time my Dad spent
accumulating your so-called "Couch Potato Units". It's this type of
over-emphasis on sports and the sport of sport-watching that
illustrates my point. It's a question of priorities. If you have none
but  entertainment, enjoy the tube, save up your CPU's (heh heh heh)
and watch life pass you by. Oh, and while you're at it, let it be a
role model of real life for your kids and let them cash in their CPU's
for a job when they graduate from high school (not!). That is IF they
graduate. 

I have one friend who was a great football player in High School. I'm
sure there were lots of people very proud of his accomplishments on the
field. He's spent his post high school years in mediocre jobs on the
strength of his GED. Seems his football letter hasen't helped him much.
He knows now that he needed to work just as hard on learning as he did
on the  scrimmage line, but his "society" failed to emphasize that to 
him then.

What are flea markets in Madison county get the most foot traffic?  I have this product that my family is trying to market here in the US, and we've decided to start small to see how well it sells.  Anyone know of any good flea markets in the surrounding area, possibly as far away as Guntersville or Nashville?  Thanks for any info.

Yeah...so did I. Do you suppose "triple-graduates" have a natural tendancy
to flare-up on the nets? <grin> It's true though, that colleges promote 
employability rather than being an employer.

This is not only true for sports, it is all of the entertainment fields.  Think
about it.  Which occupations pay the most money?  Doctors?  Lawyers?  No, it is
the entertainment related fields.  How many football, basketball, or baseball
players make over a MILLION dollars a year?  How many doctors make that much?
How many rock singers, actors, etc?  How many doctors have fan clubs?  Our
society is SPECTATOR oriented.  We will pay almost any amount of money to see a
particular entertainment event, the upcoming Sugar Bowl is a good example.  How
much would any of us pay to attend an educational seminar that lasts two hours?
How many seminars could draw a half million people even if it were shown on TV?

We place entirely too much emphasis on the entertainment talent of individuals. 
If a person is an exceptional singer, that person will be noticed in school and
will most likely be popular.  If a person is and exceptional artist, he/she may
get to draw a few illustrations for football programs and not even be given the
credit deserved.  The most intelligent person in high school is given his/her
much deserved recognition at graduation but that person is not likely to be
popular with fellow students unless he/she has additional talents such as
singing, dancing, shooting baskets, or sacking quarterbacks.

I don't think this is a reflection on our educational system but our society in
general.

-> Sports are a wonderful part of a child's development for those who
-> choose to participate. But only as an adjunct to education.

To add something to your comment Ken, that sports also CAN cause injury 
and I'm wondering how much of our taxpayer money goes to sports 
insurance in our schools..

I have seen several of these types of programs come across the 
comp.binaries.ibm.pc newsgroup over the past year.  I think that many
of them are available from some of the archive sites (like SIMTEL or
one of its mirrors).  If you have ftp access, you can ftp to one 
of those sites and poke around until you find something.

On WTKI AM 1450 I heard a show (Mort Crowley I believe) today. He 
said that he saw a person who had on their car two bumper stickers 
one which read "Don't Eat Veal" The other read "Pro-Choice"
 
You figger it out....
 
And On the same station I heard a man call in who said he was pro-
 
Choice. He said that if men "could give birth abortion would be a

No, it costs *less* per ounce to pack in the larger sizes. The 
general rule of prices is that the size they want to move this
week will have the lowest price/portion ratio. Warning: these
change weekly if not more often! One of the most obvious places
is with beer; I've seen the same brand selling for $3.44/sixpak,
$5.99/12pak, and $13.something/24pak. A week or so later, the 
sixes will be $2.99, the 12s at $6.85, and the cases at $13.99.
They will take advantage of the "habit" being formed, too.

*Always* check the price/portion cost. The "economy" may come 
from not needing to get an item or package every week, theoretically
you'd only need to go to the store every two weeks--which is an
