  While I know next to nothing specific about the UUA church, I
  would like to complement them on taking this stance on an issue
  that is slowly building to a firestorm here in Oregon.

  Only actions such as the above will lead to peaceful coexistance
  among the members of a pluralistic community such as the U.S.  I
  would hope that other religions would take note.

The only other solution to overpopulation (besides not breeding),
is killing people off, unless you've discovered a new dimension
to ship them to.

Sure its callous, but I'm not too keen on our cultural glorification
of baby-making, though it has its good sides.  If people who want
to breed new kids can't deal with the fact that not everybody is
going to pat them on the back, then maybe they're not secure enough
to have kids.

Subject: Lesbian symbol cursor!
Date: 24 Jul 92 18:22:34 GMT
Organization: Research Computer Facility, The MITRE Corporation, Bedford MA

Here's another little something for computer nerds:

Inspired by the pink triangle posts of late, here's how to make your
cursor into two interlocking women's symbols.  Thanks to the original
pink-triangle-cursor person for the idea!

Note: This works on UNIX systems, and changes the cursor when it's on the
workspace only.  It is usually an arrow or an "X" there.


Here's how:


You'll need to save this post, then edit it so that you get two files, 
pointer and pointerb.  Save these separately - I like to put them in my
bin directory.  Then from the UNIX prompt, type:

xsetroot -cursor ~/bin/pointer ~/bin/pointerb -fg 'HotPink1' -bg 'Black'

This will change the cursor into two interlocking women's symbols.
You can change the colors to whatever you want - the above makes it
a pink cursor outlined in black.  You can put this command in your xinit file
so it is done automatically, too.

That's it:  it's easy!

Cynthia Phillips  (cbp@linus.mitre.org)

Contact me with any questions/problems.


Here are the files you'll need:


---------cut everything above and including this line------------------------

#define pointer_width 16
#define pointer_height 16
#define pointer_x_hot 7
#define pointer_y_hot 5

I believe so.  They're called HIV-1 and HIV-2.  HIV-2 is more common in
Africa; it hasn't shown up much in the US, that we know of.

I have read somewhere that a new test is being devised for HIV-2, and that

2 items:
 
One: what is even scarier than the possibility of an HIV-3 (or 4, etc)
virus or the possibility that HIV is only a co-factor (as some scientists
have suggested) is the fact that once again, as in the early 80s, the
government is keeping a conspiracy of silence.  the CDC has kept these
reports secret for a long time.  gov't officials are saying that the
blood supply is "completely safe".  (sound like the 80s?)
 
Two: I have some real doubts concerning the HIV tests.  I regularly test
positive on the initial test.  My Western blots have always (with one
exception) come back negative.  One of the W. blots was positive.  I
have, however, been assured that I am HIV negative.
 
Ever wonder whats going on?

Yup, the Rutherford Institute is quite the hateful organization.
They set up shop here specifically to oppose this statute.  THey used
to solicit pro bono work in the "community service" section of a local
legal newsletter, billing themselves as a group concerned with
supporting Christian churches.  A lawyer friend of mine complained to
the editor of the newsletter, and the newsletter stopped giving them
free advertising space.

I hear they're involved in the Oregon crap as well.

I don't think this suit is going to work since the scouts are a religious

give a precident for removing any state support of the scouts on the
