It's not that I don't enjoy the flames and all the interesting (NOT) views
on abortion some people insist on airing on this channel, but I must wonder:

*Why* do you answer these guys when it's so darn obvious he's baiting you?
He must be laughing his *ss off seeing how much flamage he gets in return.

I have lived in this country for going on 42 years. I've also been employed
in the "private sector" that the Bush/Quayle ilk like to brag about for
over 15 years, and I have very rarely come across a person with this
kind of attitude. (I can think of one.) The great majority of people that
I have known in my personal and business connections recognize that the
best way to achieve success in any endeavor is also the way in which the
greatest number of people succeed.

Date: Sat, 22 Aug 1992 17:42:38 GMT

	For 4 years now Bush's lap-dog Fitzwater has been trotted out
to talk about George's "decency". This has been going on for so long that
noone questions it. I was sitting and trying to figure out even one single
thing that Bush has done which is remotely decent, I cannot come up with
a single thing, can someone help me? I see Jimmy Carter building housing
for the poor and homeless. I see Jimmy Carter going to foreign countries
(not very safe places) and monitoring elections! Now! That is very decent
of Mr. Carter. Has either Bush or Quayle done anything decent, maybe, but
I cannot think of anything. Mr. Carter never lied to American public, Mr.
Bush has not uttered a single truth. Did the Bush's hero, his predecessor,
Reagan done anything decent? Since he has retired I hear nothing of Mr.
Reagan doing anything decent. While in office Mr. Reagan was pretty decent
to some foreign companies and governments, so decent, in fact, that he was
payed 2 cool million upon retirement. Perhaps, Mr. Bush has a different 
idea about what decency is.


Too bad we cannot vote for Mrs. Thatcher. Yes, she is a conservative
and she is decent. U.K. is a net producer of oil, but still Mrs. Thatcher
lead her country in the fight against Iraq. Yes, it is possible to be
conservative and be decent, too bad Bush thinks Democrats already have
decency as part of their agenda so it is totally unsuitable for Republicans.
It is almost painfull to see this vile chamelion writhing and twisting into
unimaginable political positions to retain the privileges of Rose garden.

Decency is as decency does.

Which leads us to the real question of the Republican convention.
What are the Republicans trying to do?  The image I keep waking
up to, the highest profile theme, the big surprise of the
convention is the attacks (and defense of those attacks by Pres
and Mrs Bush) of Hillary Clinton.  I can't believe they think
this will get them elected.  I don't think it has any appeal to
the people Bush most needs to attract (Reagan Democrat's).
I don't know how others feel about this, but I don't think it
displays high "values" when you fight a man by trying to beat
up on his wife.  In fact these guys are acting like swine.
They are disgraceful.  One reason Anne Richards is governor of
Texas is that here republican opponent attacked her mercilessly and
refused to shake her hand after a debate.  If that strategy did
not work against a woman candidate, how can it possibly work against
a woman who is the wife of a candidate?  

After over two years of economic stagnation, you would think the
Republicans would want the public and the politicos talking about
their plans to create jobs and to promote growth.  Instead, they're
talking about attacks on Hillary Clinton.  (If ever we needed 
proof that George Bush just doesn't get it, we're getting it now.)

Date: 19 Aug 92 18:12:17 GMT

Pro-choice - someone who believes that it is each individual womans
	decision whether to have an abortion.

anti-choice - someone who believes that a woman should not be able
	to choose to have an abortion.

Pro-life - someone who believes that women should not have abortions.
	(note that this is not the same as anti-choice). BTW I have
	given the benefit of the term 'pro-life' to those that coined
	it. More technically accurate would be anti-abortion.
	(Speaking of coopting the english language).

Pro-abortion - someone who believes that women should have abortions.

These are of course Polar definitions, and most people will fall
between the four poles depending on the situation. I myself am
pro-choice, but lean towards pro-life in the pro-abortion/life
dimension.

George Bush is, of course, anti-choice, but Pro-abortion (remember
his early pop. control policies?)

Note also that many (but not all) 'pro-life' organizations are in
fact anti-choice as they attempt (through force and/or govt lobbying)
to make it impossible for women to make their own choice. Some
organizations (possibly Feminists for Life) ARE actually pro-life
in that they attempt to convince women that abortion is not what
is best for them. Churches tend (in my experience) to be pro-life
with a strong and vocal anti-choice minority.

Quayle, of course, has no idea what an abortion is. I would describe
him as Pro-golf with a strong tendency to anti-intelligence.

Actually, has anyone got the real story of how J. Danforth Quayle got
in through an affirmative action program? Who made the decision? Did Danny
get his parents involved in this maneuver? What was the official category
he was placed in? ("other viewpoints?" isn't that just some blather Dan

		The best part of this is that she knew that New Mexico is in  
the continental U.S.!  A lot of us still get asked if we had trouble getting  
passports to get into the U.S.  I would say that knowledge alone probably puts  
her in the top 1% of people in the East on geography.  Don't know about Danny  
or George or Boy Clinton, but there are too many easterners who still think  
Texas is half of the west and California is the size of Delaware.

WRONG!  As has been pointed out to me, it was not Butz but Congressman
Wilbur Mills, a name I'd forgotten but I remember it now.  I don't remember
where he was from.

Attempt at redemption:  Mills' exploits were followed not long after by those

He is.  So is Dan Quayle.  Elvis, you see, was such a fat fuck when he
"died" that, in order to equal his mass, you need several individual
anti-Elvii.

(I resisted the strong temptation to cross-post this to sci.physics to
get their esteemed opinions on the anti-matter problem.  I did,
however, cross-post to alt.religion.kibology and directed followups to
alt.politics.kibo because sci.physics will not be allowed on
HappyNet[tm].  Physics, in general, will be frowned upon in the new
order, unless you are using government money to perform cruel
experiments involving bowling balls and shark fin soup.  Rigorous
licensing and taxation will make it very difficult for a person to
become a Quantum Mechanic. Free "fahrvergnugen" for everyone!)

Theorem du jour:

If Dan Quayle and Michael J. Fox really are the Anti-Elvii, and they
are alive then Elvis must be dead.

(One really troublesome point with this theorem is that if J. Danforth
Quayle really is an Anti-Elvis, it means that the real Elvis should
have been a brain surgeon.)
