Say, Anil, do you think that these studies are even worthwhile, or are they
just stupid, no matter what the outcome?  I mean, no onen wants to say that
their race is worse at something than another.  But I mean, some things are
obvious.  The average Black person is probably larger than the average
Asian person.  Or course, this probably does not warrant a study.
Scientists do this sort of thing all of the time to other animals, but they
can't really complan about it.  I see nothing wrong with doing some sort
of human classification.  Obviously, some people will not be happy upon
learning the outcome.  Racial pride will ensure this.  I, though, would not
care a bit it if was learned that White people were weaker or less intelligent
than some other race.  The rest of my "race" has no effect whatsoever on me.

	It has been said recently by the host machine that this user's
account was being used by an unknown person purposely causing trouble. The
true identity of the author is not whoever it was that started the thread.

	By the way, it doesn't matter how big your brain is genetically.
If I have a computer with 1,000,000 megabytes of ram, and another with
900,000 megabytes of ram, even though one has 10% less storage space, it
is unlikely that I would use more than 10 megabytes at one time anyway.
Therefor, storage space does not correlate with intelligence. Everyone knows
that any human is just as capable as any other. 

	Another reason why size of a brain does not matter is because of the
density. If I had a roll of paper towels wrapped in a ball, and soaked up water
with it, it would shrink to a small percentage of its original size. Likewise,
some human brains are proven to shrink as the human grows older since the
cranium is larger than the space needed for the brain.

	Interesting, eh? 

	And as for the Jesse Jackson cracks in this thread, I support him
for two reasons; he is willing to openly confront important issues and he
cares about people. But he gets carried away when he gives speeches some times.

	ISLAMABAD, Pakistan -- The leader of Hizbe Islami, the Afghan rebel 
guerilla force, Mr Gulbuddin Hekmatyar, charged today that the President
of Afghanistan, Me Burnahuddin Rabbani was trying to encourage Govt. troops
to violate a truce in effect now for 9 days with the Hizbe Islami. The
truce had brought to an end over two weeks of fighting that had claimed
over 2000 lives.

His statement, released by the Afghan News Agency which he controls, said:
"Rabbani's recent demand to try me for war crimes, his insulting remarks 
against Hizbe Islami and the continued violations of the cease-fire by his 
troops show he wants to fan the fire of war."

The Agency also reported that the Hizbe Islami had successfully repelled an
attack by the militia called the Gleem Jam and its allies on Monday at 
Lerkhab and Kilagai in Baghlan province. The agency said the militia launched
the offensive three days ago.

*  BLOCKADING  MASS COPYING   in UP  

  The following is the translation of an article "BLOCKING   COPYING"
  (Copying ku Addu Katta) from JAGRITHI Aug 17-23, 1992.

Correspondent: Bhardwaj

  Since the BJP came to power in Uttar Pradesh many social projects were 
  undertaken. To improve the educational standards the govt. had taken 
  different measures. As part of that an Ordinace was issued banning the 
  COPYING in examinations. 

  Though students who were accustomed to this corrupt practice were effected,
  those who have been sincere were more than happy to write the Exams. Even
  Parents are also happy at this new change.

  It has been a practice for the Goondas, and students to get certificates,
  by mass copying. And this had the backing of Political Leaders. The 
  following are the certain figures to prove the extent of this practice.

    Senior Secondary Level 1991-92:
    ------------------------------
    696,487      Students appeared for Intermediate Exams (XII class) 
    484,875      Students FAILED 
     18,000      Did not appear  for the Exams (subset of those Failed)
      30%        Students Passed

    High School Level 1991-92:
    -------------------------

    1,500,000    Students appeared for High School Certificate
    1,300,000    Students failed
       97,000    Students didnot attend ( subset of those failed)
       55,000    Students are those who just wrote the FIRST exam, and did not 
                 appear for the remaining days due to the measures.
      14.7 %     Students Passed
     

   ( It is interesting to note that  91% of those appeared in exams had passed,
     in the academic year 1990-91. )

     13,753     Students have been arrested and Booked by the POLICE under
                multiple charges. Most have them may lose an ACADEMIC Year.

    The POLICE has registered cases on 13,753  students. And the High 
    Court has ordered that these students cannot be Punished. This has come 
    as relief to these students.  Though Middle Class people are welcoming 
    these changes, some Educationists with leftist leanings have condemned 
    these acts.

    The govt. has termed its measures to root out these malpractices, have 
    been successful and would like to introduce more changes in the 
    Educational System and Academic process.

* Underground Maoists kill 11 police in India

	New Delhi, India -- PTI reported on Saturday that Maoist militants
belonging to the outlawed People's War Group were responsible for the 
series of detonations of land mine explosives in the Khammam district of 
Andhra Pradesh on Saturday, which were responsible for the deaths of 11 
police officers.  These killings are on the heels of last week's ambushing of 
paramilitary forces belonging to the BSF when 7 security personnel were killed.

The terror campaign has intensified in the past few weeks. Last month, a state
leader of the Congress party (the party in power both at the Federal and
State levels) was assassinated, a state minister's home destroyed, and gunfire
sprayed on the car of another state minister, resulting in the deaths of his
son, brother, uncle and body guard.

In an attempt to counter the killings, police forces have shot and killed more
than a dozen rebels in recent days.

The Maoists are known as ``Naxalites'' in India because the first such uprising 
occurred at Naxalbari in the state of West Bengal in the 1960s.  West Bengal 
has been ruled by communists since 1977 and experiences little Maoist activity, 
while Andhra Pradesh now has emerged as the hotbed of Maoist insurgency.

I thought 'Kleenex' was lost as a trademark, because the company didn't

   I know that re-activating charcoal is a long process, and one that
can probably not be done at home (ie the charcoal needs to be heated to

All this fuss over *JOKES* ???!!!???

If you're going to make a fuss, how about making it over something
people find *REALLY* offensive.  Most people will find something
on this list offensive, but I don't think that's justification
for censoring ANY of them:

	"Mein Kampf", by Adolph Hitler
	1960's-era radical Black activist literature
	Nazi-era anti-Jewish literature
	current literature of the Ku Klux Klan
	The Communist Manifesto, by Karl Marx
	The Constitution of the United States
	Any books on the practice of witchcraft
	The Bible
	Any Satanist religious books (does the "Necronomicon" actually exist?
		I know H.P. Lovecraft made it up, but is it now a real Satanist
		religious work?)
	The Koran
	"Satanic Verses"
	Playboy, Hustler, and similar but more explicit magazines 
		aimed at heterosexuals
	Fundamentalist Christian publications on the topic of sex
	Sexually-oriented magazines aimed at homosexuals
	Literature of various anti-pornography groups
	Publications of the North American Man-Boy Love Association
	Publications of the National Rifle Association
	Publications of Handgun Control, Inc.
	Anything that takes any side in the Creation vs. Evolution debate

or in short, anything about sex, religion, politics, or government.

Tinted car windows are popular in sunny climes. However, they may cause problems
when you and the car move to a less-sunny jurisdiction. A Maryland state
police officer was murdered by someone in a car that had fairly dark
tinted windows 2 or 3 years ago. Maryland and Virginia sometimes make things 
difficult for the owners of cars with tinted windows when it's time for
state inspection.  It depends on the inspector, and the state trooper
whom you call to complain about the tinted windows standards.
Having factory-tinted windows, or dealer-tinted windows does not always
protect you from being told to have your windows altered, or not drive
that car in the state.  This often hits military personnel who purchase a
car in Florida or Texas, and get transferred to Maryland or Virginia.

So, if you have the car windows tinted, you'll be forewarned about
trouble when you move north.
