Yes, I use a plug follower myself. It keeps the pins and springs from popping
out when I don't want them to do so. However, a person can survive without
them. I also use pin tweezers but, once again, a person can do without. Both
items just make a job much easier.

That is how I load pins using tweezers. Maybe my description was not clear.

I have never encountered a lock long enough that this was necessary, but a

Yep. And sometimes there is not much leeway. I have a fair number of spare
followers. If I run across a plug that does not fit one of the existing
followers, then I notch it to fit. Saves a lot of frustration - even if it
takes a little longer to customize the follower.

Dreams can be enhanced by using any new recreational drug (of sufficient
duration) before falling asleep.  The first time I fell asleep after
drinking, I noticed this.  Eating large quantities of shrimp before bedtime
also does it to me.

A friend just started using the nicotine patch to quit smoking.  Since most
smokers wake up in the morning with a strong craving for a cigarette and
the patch is too slow to satisfy the craving if applied in the morning,
users are instructed to put on the patch while they sleep.  Dreaming with a
nicotine buzz was entirely new for him -- he had vivid, semi-lucid dreams.
(By semi-lucid I mean he figured out he was dreaming, then dreamed he woke
up, losing the lucidity.)

 There was also an article in Scientific American within the last

in the July '91 issue of SA regarding the history of opiates
and MJ in America, with emphasis on attitudes, especially around
the turn of the century (when much was still legal).  The article
dicusses trends, then and now and how oscillating attutdes over the

Date: Fri, 28 Aug 92 00:24:48 GMT
Organization: DAFCO: OS/2 Software Support & Consulting

My letter to the Mayor and the newspaper follows:
=====


To the Editor:



This letter  is in response to the proposed ordinance before City

Council referred to as "Real Estate which is used for the Illegal

Use of  or Sale  of Narcotics  or Controlled  Substances", to  be

discussed on  September 8th,  1992. This ordinance would impose a

fine of  $2500/day on  any landlord  who does  not evict  tenants

alleged by  the City  to be involved in drug-related crimes. Note

{that the  tenants do  not have  to be  charged  with,  much  less

convicted of, any crime for this ordinance to be enforced against

the   landlord.    This   ordinance    violates   the   following

constitutional  principles:   trial  by   jury,  presumption   of

innocence until  proven guilty  beyond a  reasonable  doubt,  due

process, and no cruel and unusual punishment.



This ordinance  forces landowners  to take legal action on behalf

of the  City (  against  tenants  not  charged  with,  much  less

convicted of  any crime) without compensation or be fined for not

doing so.  Not even  sworn law enforcement officers operate under

this constraint.  The Supreme  Court has ruled in every such case

brought before it that police officers are not liable for failure

to stop  a felony  in progress.  The City  Council is  in  effect

saying that citizens are to be held to a higher standard than law

enforcement personnel.



Passage of  this ordinance  will obligate  landlords to pay legal

expenses  involved  with  the  eviction  process  and  to  suffer

unreimbursed loss  of income stemming from vacated apartments. It

will also  make landlords  liable to  legal countersuits from the

tenants being  evicted. The  outcome of this process will be that

landlords will refuse to rent to people suspected of drug dealing

and those  people will  probably wind  up suing  the landlord for

discrimination.



Also, the  DEA routinely confiscates under Civil Seizure Statutes

property and  businesses where the DEA asserts without proof that

drug dealing  has taken  place. Applying this ordinance against a

landlord gives  the DEA  a green  light to  seize that landlord's

property on  the basis of the city's statement that such activity

has taken place.

Is the  city willing  to pay  the legal  costs of  defending this

ordinance all  the way  to the  Supreme Court?  As a taxpayer who

winds up  footing the  bill for  the  City's  (sometimes  insane)

activities, I'm not.



This ordinance  is an  abomination. I  advocate that  any council

member who votes for this ordinance be recalled on the grounds of

demonstrated mental incompentance.

If it was a MAOI it would say "do not mix with cheese or wine (and 
possibly caffiene or chocolate)".  When taking a MAOI, cheese is much
more dangerous that alcohol (with the possible exception of Red
Wine).

They may be simply using the "do not mix simulants and depressants" logic.

	NEW YORK (UPI) -- Six people, including three Colombian nationals,
were being held Wednesday after federal, state and local authorities
found nearly a ton of cocaine in a van parked on an Upper East Side
street, officials said.
	The six were arrested Tuesday and charged with running a drug ring
that allegedly distributed hundreds of pounds of cocaine a month in the
city.
	They were to be arraigned in state Supreme Court in Manhattan.
	The arrests and seizure were carried out by the New York Drug
Enforcement Task Force, comprised of agents from the federal Drug
Enforcement Administration and state and city police departments.
	Task force agents had one of the six suspects, Edgar Franco, under
surveillance Tuesday as he entered a 1984 Ford van parked at 68th Street
and Second Avenue on Manhattan's Upper East Side.
	As Franco tried to start the van, agents stopped him and discovered
1,760 pounds of cocaine in the vehicle's rear compartment.
	The drugs were wrapped in yellow and white paper with the brand name
``Metro'' stamped in red letters.
	The marking is similar to that of other shipments known to have been
distributed by the notorious Cali drug cartel that have been seized
around the country.
	``These individuals ran an operation responsible for the monthly
distribution of hundreds of pounds of cocaine in the city,'' said Robert
Silbering, the city's special narcotics prosecutor, in a release
announcing the arrests.
	Silbering said more than one million dollars was seized last month
from members of the same operation as they attempted to transfer drug
proceeds to a location in the Melrose section of the Bronx.

Smoking 25-30 hits of above average hash can and might very well produce
