Actually, what I was thinking of would be ways to deal with the assasin,
like how high to hang him.  Or who should have the honor of being on the
firing squad, or manning the electric chair switch or gas chamber controls.

Any jokes about killing the President aren't funny. I hope someone discusses
this with you further (i.e. the FBI).  I don't care *who* the President is.
I didn't vote for Clinton, and I would still be offened if you had inserted the
name "Clinton" in place of "Bush".

I think this kind of thinking is about as outmoded as the idea
that states elect people.  "Elected by the cities" - did all
the people in every city vote alike, and all the people in the
rural areas vote alike?  What's wrong with voting by the people,
popular vote, not by state?  If we are going to vote by state, why
have Electoral votes - why not the majority of a state means the
candidate gets 1 vote.  You get 26 votes (or a pluarity) you
win.  Why even weight it?  I think the popular vote is the fairest
way to go.

DISTRIBUTION LIST FOR ARTICLES ABOUT US FOREIGN TRADE PROBLEM, FOREIGN
AGENTS AND THE NATIONAL DEBT....NOW TAKING NAMES.
 
This is a note to inform all of you about a distribution list we run 
which distributes about once a month, articles about the U.S. trade, 
political and debt situation. This newsgroup may not be around much 
longer, so we're doing our best to set up a distribution list now 
before we all lose contact with each other. If ever you wish to be
removed from the list, I would delete you immediately.
 
Recently you may have seen some articles on this group
(one about Japanese trade policy (JAPANYES), and other was a list
of 'foriegn agents' who are high level government people who sell 
you out to foreign companies for bribes and 'fees'. 
 
These articles are usually not available via other media which is why
we run this list.
 
These files were first sent down our receiver list before they were posted 
generally. (These files (the Japan ones) are currently at anonymous FTP 
site monu6.cc.monash.edu.au   in    pub/nihongo    
(read the INDEX file in that directory for details)).
 
In the future, we won't be posting these as often, but rather sending
them down the distribution list. If you would like to be on the
distribution list for these articles (one every month or so), please
send me a note and I will add you.

I thought George Clinton was both black and dead funky, from Funkadelic

community. Are you sure you're not thinking of George hamilton IV?

Was the 7-11, then, an enemy of the people ?

What ? You say there were people inside the 'enemy of the people' ?

If I was the judge, I might have sentenced him to be inside the 7-11.

What's wrong with the sentence?  Is there some legitimate question
about whether he actually committed this act?  

If he did commit this act, what political significance was it
supposed to have?

Would you feel the same way if he threw the molotov cocktail 
through the front window of the University of Vermont EMBA

TWO MALE LIBRARIANS BEFORE TRIBUNAL ALLEGING SEX DISCRIMINATION

SYDNEY, Nov 12 AAP _ Two men who say they have been subjected to
a campaign of psychological terror for the past two years by
their female librarian bosses are taking their case to the
Anti-Discrimination Board.

The two librarians, Albert Gestal, 28, and John Edwards, 40,
said they were victimised and continually picked on by three
women superior to them at Kogarah Library in Sydney's south.

"In my case I think it was a campaign of psychological terror
for two years," Mr Gestal told Channel Nine's A Current Affair.

"I wouldn't think they're worth speaking to, I'm totally
abhorred at the treatment that we've received and we've received
by people they've used to act against us," Mr Edwards said.

They have presented the Anti-Discrimination Board with documents
to support their case, including secret memos their superiors
wrote criticising them, hour-by-hour reports on their work,
offensive cartoons and sexist posters.

"Most of it is a pack of lies," Mr Edwards said.

The men also alleged the women planned to get rid of them over
dinner at a Chinese restaurant.

"If you're familiar with Shakespeare's Macbeth you'll remember
the first scene, the witches are plotting together the downfall
of Macbeth," Mr Guesthall said.

"(In this case it was a) convenant of librarians of witches,
perhaps, getting together to plot a downfall," he said.

After an argument with one woman about photocopying, she
allegedly wrote a memo about Mr Edwards saying, "I'm sick to
death of this person; he has a problem inside his head!".

Both men were seeing a psychologist because of the strain of
what they called "blatant sex discrimination", but said the
psychologist's report meant they were unemployable.

Chief librarian Heidy Dyke today refused to comment.

"We're standing up on a principle here, and we're going to
pursue it right through to the finish and we think it needs to
be made public," Mr Edwards said.

What about the jury that convicted Mr. Coleman?  Were they racist in their
judgment?  Sadistic in their verdict?  Piece-of-shit fascist in their 
weighing of the evidence?

>Coleman was the first of nearly 8,000 people arrested during the LA riots

Hooray!  That means that the question of guilt or innocence for any person
participating in the LA riots will be determined by a court, instead of
the fickle whims of popular opinion.

                            ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

(Too good to pass this one up!)  Solidarity is a tool, just like a sword
or a pen, to be manipulated by a visionary either for destruction or 
creation, but very rarely for both.  For the skilled warrior uses the sword
to destroy the tyrant, and the gifted writer uses the pen to inspire the
human mind to lofty thoughts.  Hence, as the sword and the pen must be acted
upon, so it is with Solidarity.
