ftp ra.msstate.edu

for id  put in   anonymous

for  password put in     giggles@whizbang.podunk.edu    or whatever
(it really doesn't matter, but considered nice to put in your REAL id)

then you can give dos or unix commands and look around...things  like

dir

or

ls or cd or whatever you want.

then when
you find what you want you say....    get  file.name


and it will magically be transferred onto your machine.  how you then
get it into WP depends on your local machine and its relationship, if any
to wordperfect.

enough?

Close, but not quite.  This all happened in San Diego.  She was home,

When the song came out, there was a lot of to-do on the local rock

Bayla, I think the "who's in power" thing is crucial. If one is unable
to implement their program, then there is generally less to fear. The
social and political program of the far right is far more influential
and given far more credence in American politics than those of the
extreme left. Past posts also seem to collapse groups into "extreme
left" (such as groups challenging language use) as "leftist," when in
fact they may comprise an ideological spectrum.  Jeffries and
Sharpton, for example, are hardly "left," any more than are
bureaucrats who attempt to impose unconstitutional speech restrictions
on campus. There is no significant left counterpart to Jesse Helms,
David Duke, Aryan Nation, Pat Buchanan, or the Eagle Forum. Right-wing
think tanks (eg, American Enterprise Institute) are far more linked to
gov't policy makers than even the moderate left. William Bennett,
ex-anti-drug honcho, called Rush Limbaugh "possibly our greatest
living American."  Can you think of any recent high-level gov't
official who's said anything similar about anybody on even the
moderate left?

Tyranny requires power. Without it, kookie ideas remain only kookie
ideas, and we can't legislate against Kookiness.  We need not defend
those who would subvert the Constitution, but it seems wise to
identify who is the greatest danger when directing limited resources
to opposing them. That Bush and others *did and do not* condemn or at
least disassociate with the Pat Buchanin/Dan Quayle mindlessness
suggests that the real danger is from another 4 years of Bush.

Torkel,

I agree that whimsy may need a reality check every now and again such that
it doesn't get out of hand.  My response to Tushar was generated due to the
fact that I believe you can go too far the other way--which is how I was
perceiving Tushar--it would be nice to just be whimsically absurd now and
again without being called to check for it every time it doesn't meet
"realistic" or logical parameters.

     >are not as anally logical and condescendingly questioning as you post.
     >Life must be a terrible bore for you.

     I'm just giving this a straight answer because Tushar can't very well
   do so! Tushar is no more "logical" and "questioning" than the rest of us.
   He just has an innate sense of the checks and balances needed to stave off
   the implosion of the universe. That is, every cute and whimsical piece of
   delightful nonsense, every wonderful poetical flight of fancy, every
   profound reflection on existence, every simple but dignified statement of
   belief, calls for a moronic braying, a cold stare, an indifferent mumbling,
   an uncomprehending yawn, if we are not to sink helplessly into a morass of
   wonderful poetical heroic dignified convictions.

I think I am going to throw up.  My friend Luc phoned me
last week to tell me that his father had killed himself.
The conversation moved to lighter topics (he had also just
won two free tickets to Paris), and he mentioned that he had
gotten mail from this guy.  I still have it in my mailbox.
He was very worried that this guy would do something (remember
those women murdered at UQAM), and I kept telling him no,
a lot of crazies post stuff on the net all the time and never
do anything.  I feel so bad.

   So it means nothing. You know, a words-l posting could carry at least one

   The moment you start "Life is ..." it ceases to be unknown. There is, in
   addition, nothing absurd about being absurd and unknown. Think about that
   a bit.

   The "g" stands for nothing, I suppose. Excuse me while I sneer with three

I think they can.  That's not to say that they always do.

Tongue, teeth, and vocal cords?  :-)

  Pah! [Since Tushar is not yet officially back, I must stand in for him as
best I can.] Everybody knows that FLT - or, in your version, PLT - states
that the equation

     x^n+y^n=z^n

has no non-trivial solution in natural numbers for n>2.

  The relevance of this to MNP levels should be obvious.

Subject:      i'm a poet and didn't know it
Comments: To: words-l@uga.cc.uga.edu

You all will be happy to note that a poem
i wrote was  a finalist in the Prov.Journal
poetry contest.  It was picked (along
with 17 others) from 727 entries.

i didn't win the grand prize, but i did get
to see my name on the front Page of the Sunday Brunch
section.

the scary thing was how terrible the poem was, since i
tried to incorporate just about every over used poetry
cliche in the history of prose.
