Check the statistics.  There is sufficient correlation to assume that
a much larger percentage of those who fail high school will become
criminals than of those who don't fail high school.  After all, if
someone can't get a job, they're going to survive somehow, right?
Plus, the current system with no negative sanctions for undesirable
behaviour has taught them to just take what they want and nothing will
happen.

But a lot of dealing with his job DOES.  Besides, the statement was
about 'effective morons'.  If they were morons, they couldn't have
gotten to where they were (becuase most of them are college graduates)
and whether they need any of that education to play football is
irrelevant to this particular point of the discussion.

Does this mean that it's also a gimmick for the presidency and should

    Why Having Term Limits for the US Congress is a Good Idea

Government has been distorted by legislative careerism predicated on
constant abuse of the power of the purse.  The allocation of scarce
public resources is determined to a large and growing extent not by
calm deliberation about public needs but by the runaway scramble by
incumbents attending to their career needs by dispensing favors as
different as wool subsidies and 'Masterpiece Theatre'.

For congressmen, the ideal of representation has been replaced with
that of self-serving responsiveness.

With term limits, all this would change.  Without lifetime carreers to
protect and preserve, congressmen would be free to debate and discuss
rather than to just pander to special interest PACs.  Leaders would
lead; budgets would be balanced; institutional respect restored.

Term limits would affirm that being a congressman is a job that anybody
of reasonable intelligence can do, (which it is,) and thus that no
politician is indispensable.  Besides, how much worse could things
get?

The advatanges of incumbency virtually guarantee that congressmen can
serve as long as they like.  Witness recent re-election rates of 95% or
more.

Write your Congressman now and demand that he vote to support Term
Limits.  Feel free to edit and use this letter.

it under UNIX and I can just buy more RAM... the UNIX buffer cache does a
better job than a caching controller.

Also, information on the low end Ultrastor (12C? 12F?) would be useful. It
seems to be the best deal on current controllers.

The pedigree may be good but the breeding practice is outrageous.

Most reputable breeders will have their customers lined up before the
breeding takes place.  I suppose posting this note on misc.pets.dogs
would have drawn too many flames.

Scott -

While I'm sure you mean well, the old cliche is true:
	check before you flame.

Actually, Chris is a well regarded poster to rec.pets.dogs and, while
                                             =============
everyone may not always agree on all the issues, his postings have
reflected his views on breeding for quite some time.  Chris is *not*
an indiscriminate backyard breeder and is opposed to the practice.

I agree that *good breeding practice* is to have "customers lined up
before the breeding takes place", not having done so doesn't not
automatically make one a non-reputable breeder.

I asked Chris why he didn't post this to r.p.d as I'm sure lots of us
(who read his informed posts regularly) would want to know.  So far
I haven't seen this posted there, or any followups to it (and my 
news is current thru 3.5 hours ago).  But I'm quite sure that when
it makes it there, the first reaction from my of those will be the
same as mine was:  CONGRATULATIONS CHRIS!!!

PS  This may be my first flame (or even response to a flame) in public,
so it's not something I readily do, but to see someone who isn't in the
loop flaming about something like this really burns me up.

I have a two year old NEC 65 MB RLL disk drive and a 16 bit controller for
sale.  The drive is 3.5" HH and has a 24 ms seeking time.  It has no bad
sector on it and comes with a 5.25" mounting kit.  The controller is a 
Winchester/Floppy disk controller which can control up to 2 HD and 2 FD.
They are both running perfect but I just upgraded to a larger system.  I
would like to sell them together and asking $160 OBO.  Buyer pays shipping.
Please send any offer to eleea3z@jetson.uh.edu

I have for sale a Craftsman 10" radial arm saw with several carbide saw blades,
carbide dado, radial saw clamps, pin router attachment, dust catcher, etc.
This saw has had very little use. Also have an older Craftsman 4" cast iron
table edger with new bearings and blades. Will make a good deal to someone
wanting all items at the same time. I also have either a 2 hp 220v or a 1 hp
110v brand new motor for sale, depending upon which one I want to keep for my
air compressor. Loss of contract necessitates selling at this time....make
an offer as I haven't had much time to figure out what I want....I'm sure
a reasonable deal can be worked out.
