	Heh.  I'm sure that after the Japanese subtract the damage done to
Japanese whaling ships and fishing trawlers done by Greenhype they'll accept a
check from Greenhype for the difference.  Well, I guess they'd want a cashier's
check :).

Is this just a racist comment, or do you have reason to believe he isn't
intelligent?  Maybe the people Bill Clinton appoints to the AIDS
commission will actually show up.  *That's* why Magic quit -- he saw how

showed up to just 2 meetings -- which was more than all 3 of Bush's

A toll bridge will benefit the owner if the economic justification for

Ah, the relevance to this newsgroup!  The people asked for more violence 
and more crime.  They positively clamored to have their property
seized if anyone on it was suspected of having inhaled marijuana.
They begged to build more prisons for perpetrators of victimless crimes.
They pleaded to let the S&Ls go wild with tax-insured money.  And they
prayed for bigger deficits.  The people wanted to prevent abortions, make 
bad loans to Iraq for weapons, and spread lies about marijuana and 
the power of juries.
Yep, it's of the people, by the people and for the people all the way.

And, of course, those nasty old people in the private sector won't spread

like cars and computers and cleaning services and communication services
and houses and boats and stuff, they bake it into pies.  Yup, if the

From the NYT News Service:

(Miami)  The senior military commander of one of the most militant Cuban  
exile organizations stunned the anti-Castro movement this week by  
announcing that he had worked as a spy for Cuban intelligence since 1979.

[...]

In the interviews Avila said that he had organized Alpha 66 attacks on  
Cuba at the behest of the Cuban government with money supplied by Cuban  
intelligence agents and that he was asked to monitor the activities of  
prominent Cuban exiles in Miami.

He said he decided to make his role public rather than wait for it to  
become known if the Castro government falls.

Avila's account, if true, of how Havana created its own enemies to justify  
its repressive policies is a major embarrassment for the Castro  
government.

It also tarnishes the image of exile commando groups in the United States  
who portray themselves as the Castro government's most-feared enimies but  
who may have been sustained by it.

US government agencies have thus far refused to confirm or deny the  
details of Avlia's tale of espionage and betrayal.

But the State Department yesterday told a Cuban diplomat who was  
videotaped while discussing spy missions with Avila in a New York  
restaurant last month that he must leave the country within 48 hours.

The Cuban official, Carlos Manuel Collazo Usallan, is assigned to the  
Cuban Mission to the United Nations in Manhattan, with the nominal rank of  
third secretary.

State Department spokesman Richard Boucher said yesterday that Collazo is  
being expelled because of "activities inappropriate to his  
responsibilities at the United Nations," a phrase typically used to  
describe espionage.

In six hours of interviews with reporters [...] Avila said that the Cuban  
government had given him  money to help finance the activities of Alpha  
66, including thousands of dollars to buy a boat that was used in attacks  
on Cuba.  

As early as January 1981, Avila said in one interview, he helped organize  
an Alpha 66 raid on Cuba, with the knowledge and support of Cuban agents.   
But, he said, he also informed US officials of the planned attack, and  
they moved against organizers of the raid before it could be launched.

As a result, seven people were convicted of violating provisions of the  
Neutrality Act that prohibit the organizaiton of attacks on foreign  
governments from US soil.

---------

What can I say.  The United States Government arrests people for planning  
to attack Cuba, while the Cuban government is PAYING FOR AND ORGANIZING  
attacks on Cuba!?  

I'm resisting mightily the temptation to cross-post this to talk.bizarre.

It seems a shame that the authorities didn't capitalize on this opportunity
to drive you into the sea.  Most every time I read about the shenanigans
at UCSC it makes me ashamed to be a member of the same species as most of

    Well it certainly looks like President Clinton could make abortion legal
during his term.  That should make alot of women and pro choicers happy.  
But if you want the truth that decision may cause the biggest bloodbath in 
American history.

    If that decision is passed alot of Pro lifers(mostly Christians) will try 
to stop women from having future abortions.  They will meet a stronger 
resistence from Law Enforcement officers.  But they will not give up because 
they are willing to put their life on the line to save a unborn life.  Anyone 
who is a Christian do not fear death because they care enough to save another 
life.  Even a unborn life.

    Should abortion be legal?  Even though I would say no, our future president 
would probably hear the majority of pro choicers instead and go ahead and 
make it legal.  What I would like to say is that these next four years could be 
the most bloodest of times in our lives.  That is if abortion does become legal.
For the sake of millions of lives I hope it doesn't.  But I am willing to put
my life on the line for another.

As many of you probably know, on Tuesday, Colorado voted in an
amendment to their state constitution which revokes any existing
gay/lesbian/bisexual civil rights legislation and prohibits the
drafting of any new legislation.  The amendment was spearheaded by a
right-wing organization inappropriately self-named Colorado Family
Values (CFV).  It is our understanding that they have no intention of
stopping their hate campaign here; they intended to push for
legislation with a stronger discriminatory flavor here in Colorado and
surrounding states.

What can you do?

1. Stay informed... two mail/news groups have been created in response 
   to this discriminatory amendment. 

   amend2-discuss@cs.colorado.edu / co.politics.amend2.discuss
	  ... for people who are discussing the implications 
          and issues surrounding the passing of amendment 2.

   amend2-info@cs.colorado.edu / co.politics.amend2.info
	  ... moderated mailing list for people interested in
	  information on the implication and issues of #2.

   Sending mail to either mailing list has the effect of also posting 
   the message to the corresponding shadow newsgroup.  We encourage
   people to use the mailing list address when disseminating information
   so that those people who are on the mailing list but who do not
   have access to news can benefit from the discussion/information.

   To subscribe to either mailing list, send mail to:
           Majordomo@cs.colorado.edu
   where the body of the message is:
           subscribe <listname>

   ** NOTE:  Mailing lists won't be active until (earliest) 11/7, PM.
             News groups are active now.
 
2. Contact Governor Roy Romer to express your outrage.

	  Governor Roy Romer
 	  136 State Capitol Building
	  Denver, CO 80203
	  (303) 866-2471

3. Boycott Colorado-made products (the most common of which are
   probably meat and beer) and Colorado tourism (yes, this means skiing).

4. Contact the Colorado Tourism Board and the Colorado Association of
   Commerce and Industry to express your disdain:

	  Colorado Office of Tourism
	  1625 Broadway Suite 1700
	  Denver, CO  80202
	  (303) 592-5510

	  Colorado Association of Commerce and Industry
	  1776 Lincoln Street Suite 1200
	  Denver, CO 80203
	  (303) 831-7411

5. The plan of action in response to the new amendment is to
   file a lawsuit.  To be added to the list of people on the adjoining
   amicus brief call the City of Boulder at (303) 441-3090 (you need not
   be a Colorado resident).

6. Contact your Senators and Congressional representatives to tell
   them that you want them to support the national gay rights bill, which
   Clinton promised to sign.

7. SPREAD THE WORD!  Forward this message anywhere you can think of.
