Does anyone know if there's a way that overseas people can get copies
of the magazine? Slightly related, how can people outside the US find
an equivalent for an 800 number, since neither of the two carriers
over here seem to be able to track them down?

Well, tonight, I will be meeting with five other individuals
who are extremely motivated and want to shake the trees.  

What we have planned:

	Since the current administration refuses to spend $700.00
on the Queer library, and all we need is two signatures (which we have)
we are meeting with the local owner of the GLB store in town and 
he has promised us a 20-25% discount.  If the rest of you want the
same deal, email me and I'll send you his address.  Note that
$700.00 is a fairly substantial sum of money.

	A poster session with posters marked with various slogans
ranging from "Lesbians tie their tennis shoes" and "Gay men use
toothpaste" to (in latin) "The Queen is a Queen and so is the 
King" (A reference to King James and actual graphitti at the time)
and "A nation of lovers cannot be defeated." More may occur.

	We did this last semester but the Campus Crusade for 
Cthulhu, er, Christ took them all down.

	Also, Take Back the Night march is May 9th, what are you folks 
doing?  I've got a great t-shirt idea I am hoping to implement (and
copyright).  

	Has anyone contacted Don't Panic for a student group discount
rate?  They are the folks that print "Nobody knows I'm Gay/Lesbian/Bisexual"
t-shirts.  Our Black Student Union sells t-shirts everyday and I'm sure
that we could get a similar deal that Forty Acres and a Mule gave them.

I wish you'd just bury this topic instead of burying yourself deeper
and deeper.  It's a stupid, moronic conceit that you can't just let
this go.

Here's the answer: when you call someone "X" and they say, "I really
would prefer that you not call me X", it is appropriate behavior to
stop calling that person "X".  Such people have the "authority" to
consider you a jerk if you don't, but insist on arguing about it
instead.

Now give it up.

I think you need to think much more about what you're
saying.  The issues of outing are not really subsumed
meaningfully under your question "is it or isn't it
ethical?".

The real conceptual frontier here is pointed to by this
remark:

>Let's face it, up here at Clarkson anyways, homosexuals are
>not looked upon and treated very favorably by most.  If that

>unfavorable (to say the least) treatment.

The issue is: is *that* ethical?  Clarkson is probably not
very different from most college campuses, though some few
are better and many may be worse.  Before you have anything
at all interesting to say about outing -- and in this
limited regard it makes little difference whether you're
straight or not -- you have to have penetrated deeply into
the sources and structural maintenance of prejudice in our
society.  It isn't possible to have a useful dialog with
people who have not considered (more than casually, I might
add) the real nature of the whole complex of social
phenomena, one very tiny response to which involves outing.

>Privacy allows
>people peace of mind. 

It does more than that, much more.  On balance it's less a
matter of privacy or peace of mind or even of personal
safety than it is of visibility.  What you call privacy here
furthers the invisibility -- therefore the denial of full
citizenship and abnegation of humanity -- of lesbian, gay,
and bisexual people.  Focus on the words "visible" and
"people" here.

>Bad is only "bad" because our society says it is;
>individual consciences may differ.  It is not up to you or
>anyone else to determine what is "good" or "bad" for me;
>that's my choice; and vice versa.

Look more deeply into what you've said in the context of
your preceding thought about prejudice at your college.  You
will begin, I hope, to see why outing is a necessary
instrument, despite real problems that may be associated
with it, in our struggle to escape the yoke of oppressors.

>"Yassir Arafat had a terrible accident. He tried to fax a mail bomb...."

This is typical Carson and extraordinarily stupid.  Why
don't you get rid of it?  It reflects badly on you.

Finally, I think you might indicate what your stake is, if
any, in the discussion you've initiated.  I'd be curious to
know from what perspective you're asking your question and
what prompted you to ask it.

My ever so brilliant, big, dumb bear, being the Distinguished Scientist

Life's tough, isn't it?

En route, we are planning to spend a week in Amsterdam, so I'm looking  
for:

1) Suggestions as to where to stay, preferably in an interesting part of  
town, i.e. "where the wild things are".

2) Suggestions for places to go for
	-fine cuisine that's not too pricey.
	-fine instant sexual gratification.
	-fine bars full of horny, hairy leathermen.

3) An offer for accomodation? We're both relatively technical types, John  
is 42, big and bearded, and I'm a 22 yr. old otter type that just can't  
sit still. We're both very free with our affection and always looking for  
fun.

Email me with your suggestions!

Hey, works for me, although not nearly as well as my ability to

my facility with 'ed' recently moved a woman here to tears

Tsilke, I think you need to change your GFWA to I(nternational)GFWA...

In any case, London is never hot.  Now, I speak as a southern
Californian, so this assessment may be a little off for you.  It does
get warmish in july/august.  You'll be fine with jeans and a t-shirt,
with perhaps a light jacket for evenings.  Raincoats are never
optional for Britain ;-).

Places to stay: if not with a motsseur, there's always the youth
hostel right behind St. Pauls cathedral (indeed, it used to be the
dormitories for the boy's choir, and is a wonderfully complicated
domicile, where you can get lost if you blink too long).  Don't know
if this would be to your taste; I recommend it mainly because of its
central location -- you won't find anything more central than that
charging under 10 pounds...

Have fun.  I'll just sit here at my terminal, pitying myself and being

Arthur, thats whats called a clue, from it one as bright as you should
be able to deduce a couple of things, for one..
we are every where, for another, as far as academia is concerned being 
queer or politically incorrect is not noteworthy unless you are driven 
to disgrace, suicide or both.

who've made it possible for you to make your living in this industry, but 
we're not gonna tell you about them until you tell us about your

  Too bad my house will not be ready for guests in time for the Con.  I just
finished my new kitchen and it is FABULOUS.  65 square feet of white ceramic
tile counter top; a Jenn-Air Gas Cooktop on the island in the middle; 
Jenn-Air Convection wall oven; Wall microwave oven; Side-by-Side refr/freezer
with ice and water dispenser that first passes through a water filtration
system for cold, clear, clean, water and ice; Dishwasher, Disposer, deep
double bowl sink with an extending faucet for those extra deep jobs :-)  ;
tons of cabinet space with roll out shelves (60% empty); two types of lighting
(adjustable intensity incandescent cans and/or bounce flourescent)
  Sound appealing?  Now all it needs is a good cook to put it to good use.
A can of chili in the microwave doesn't do it justice.  Maybe we can find time
during the con for a kitchen party to see what Jojo can whip up (or out) in
the kitchen.

  Unfortunately, the rest of my house is still a pile of rubble, so is unfit
for anyone to stay.  I call the kitchen my oasis because it is complete and
the rest of the house has barely begun!  I think the kitchen is the best room
in the house (ever notice where the party guests end up?), so I went all out,
and it was the first room I finished.
