Hi,

	As the subject indicates this post is about Walkie talkies, or rather my wanting a good pair, not too expensive, but being able to operate at a decent range, ie: aprox 1 km.  If anyone knows where I can get such a pair, please send me email.

Mark,

I'll post a public message in a public echo at my convenience, thank you very
much. As for what I was saying about Dr. Fabrikant, from what I have been
reading in the Gazette, he is not a completely sane man at present. He tends
to think the system is out to get him. He has fired every lawyer appointed to
him, if they didn't already quit. He wants a computer with a modem, and a
private office, in prison. He contends that perhaps the police made the bullet
holes in the walls after he was 'escorted' from the Hall building. 


 MK> there is more here than just "guns are bad" lets look into it.

Of course guns are generally bad. I contend, though, that anti-gun legislation
does nothing to curb the illicit use of said weapons since they are likely
obtained through illegal means anyways. The Fabrikant case, of course, is an
exception.

In today's Gazette, I read another stupid aspect of our new casino. They
will not allow smoking or drinking in the casino. I think this ti, the
government has lost all sense of reality.

On smoking: I am not a smoker, nor do enjoy it when people smoke around
me. But I think smoking should be allowed in a casino. All they have to
do is declare some tables as being non-smoking, for people like me.
Atlantic City and Vegas have them. So why can't Montreal? Because our
government is being extremely short-sighted on this issue. They see a
casino as a giant video arcade for people to indulge themselves at the
government's profit. Well, that profit isn't going to arise if they
continue to alienate huge parts of the populati. 

On drinking: The big casino's give out free drinks while you play,
hoping that it will dull your sense of judgement...and it works. Trust
me, I know. The Sands Hotel in Atlantic City won $14M off one guy during
a 5 year period by giving him free drinks. I'm not saying that drinks
should be free in Montreal, but rather that they should be available to
those that want them. Again, the government has missed on the purpose of
a casino. If I'm betting lots of money and I need a crutch to help me
over my nervousness, I want that crutch available to me.

I think that with the no vice rules, the french only signs rule, its
relative non-proximity to downtown, its rediculously high wages its
going to pay its employees (a dealer in AC makes about $16K per annu,
and whatever stupidity that sure to follow, this casino will lose money.
They will have to either close the casino or sell it to private
enterprise (heaven forbid). At first, I thought that a casino in
Montreal would be a good idea. Now, I'm not so sure.

Anyway, everybody have a good week. I'm drivng to Atlantic City on
Monday to the land of english signs, free drinks, and smoking at a
blackjack table (if I so choosed).

Ce qui est aussi connu, c'est que pour les loteries a tout le moins, ce sont
surtout les gens a faibles revenus qui en achetent.  Le fait que l'Etat se
charge d'administrer ces loteries ne fait que prouver qu'il s'agit d'un
Etat incapable de taxer les gens a forts revenus.  C'est bien plus payant de
passer ca sur le dos des loteries et des "petites gens".

Je crains que le meme phenomene ne se repete avec les casinos.

Wonder if any of you out there can help a novice?  I have been tryting 
to upload a post composed off line to another confernce. The Site I call 
is operating a program called Waffle(???)  It only has Xmodem to utilize 
for uploading.  When ever i try to upload, the transfer goes okay, but 
the system tells me that there are illegal characters in line 0 (hex 
FFC4)
i have looked at my file with a sector editor and line 0 is simply 
hex0020 (Spaces)
I have tried with other posts created off-line and have had teh same 
results.

Can anyone suggest what is happening? and how I might get around this 
problem?

Your time and assistance is appreciated

I find your figures highly exaggerated.  Less than 20% from outside the
metropolitan region?  Hardly.  If these mysterious marketing studies you
quote are true, then the casino will close down within a year. Please
tell us your source.  Ontario and New York State alone will account for
20% in my opinion.

Quebecers spend $3 billion/year in Atlantic City & Nevada?  Again, I ask
you who for the source of your information.  Even the $6 billion/year in
Florida sounds inflated, though I'm well aware of Quebecers' fondness
for that particular state.  Still, the amounts you cite seem
astronomical.

i would like this case solved fast. from what i remember in the case Fabrikant
was told he "will be locked up" by alan gold, he decided to bring a gun to
school and the rest is sad history. so i say give the man his computer and let
him make a case, since we are all already told he is guilty it should only be
a matter of formality to get a conviction. unless there is some evidence we
dont want presented in court and would rather make the man seem "crazy".

there is no excuse for what the man did but if i was told by a person of
authority about my impending "arrest" i would worry. i i lived most of my life
in the soviet union maybe thats the "good button" to push to "make me crack"
the problems is maybe the coworkers did not expect such a loud "crack".

we should strive to give the entire "truth" a fair hearing,

"a court of law is a crucible in which we burn away irrelevancies until we are
left with the truth" J.L.P.

the question of a computer and a modem is not relevant to the case. if today
Fabrikant decides that a computer is better than a lawyer then that is his
choice.
