I am writing this on advice of my lawyer.  After John Moore mentioned
possible legal charges I went to my lawyer and explained the entire
situation.  I told him that I was allowed on the Bush e-mail organization
seeking revenge for Reagan Campaign 1980 stealing of Carter's debate notes
(which has brewed hatred in me for 10 years now.)  I explained how
disappointed I was to find the group a disorganized group in the process of
trying to create an fantasy Republican party.  How the Bush e-mail
organization was nothing more then group denial of the fact that the
Bush/Quayle campaign had been taken over by right wing nuts.  I told him
about the conspiracy to make Bush seem pro-reproductive rights to college
aged students.  My lawyer said that he was sickened,  and I said that so
was I,  and that my anger drove me to start "reminding" these moderates
about the truth of their own party.  "Perhaps",  I told him,  "I can wake
one of the moderate republicans to the evil that is growing in their party,
 to the racism of David Duke,  to the social intolerance of Pat Buchanan,  
to the Religious zeal of Pat Robertson.  Maybe I can make one person stop
denying their own parties platform,  the statements of the THEN President. 
Perhaps I could make one person wake up to the truth of Willie Horton and
Clerance Thomas."   

So I decided to show the truth by telling a lie.  I started to parody a
radical right wing Republican.  A person who hates people of different skin
color, sexual orientation, religion or intelligence. It was a hard pill to
take but the group was getting so dangerously close to losing all contact
with the reality of the party that I felt it worth it.   Since I didn't
intend to lie about anyone else (unlike Anwar )  and since I had not
intention of tampering with the free flow of information or gaining any
profit,  I felt legally safe.  After all this was politics and politics is
a hard life.  

At this point my lawyer began to look worried  'What is the matter I
asked",  he looked at me with a somber sanguine look on his face;  "Well I
might as well tell you the truth.  Now I am guessing from the patheticness
of some of these Republicans that a lot of them were at MIT,  am I correct"
 and he was "Well Massachusetts under its last Governor enacted a state law
that may cause you a lot of trouble.  It is a little know law that was
actually created to prevent the spread of AIDS and teen pregnancy called
the Reproductive Responsibility Act.  But there is an Amendment to the law
which has lead to a lot of political problems for certain people.  It is
called Amendment 20 and I am afraid that it will cause you a bit of trouble
in that State."

"What" said I in a state of true terror,  "what,  for the love of GOD, what
does this Amendment 20, this unkindly and strict rule,  provide for that I
should be worried about it."

My lawyer,  usually a  man of iron will was unable to answer my angst
request,  so scared of Amendment 20 was he that could only present me with
the text of that foul law.  I read the Amendments of Massachusetts
Reproductive Responsibility Law until I came to the 20th.  I read it. 
Several minutes latter I awoke on the floor,  my lawyer standing over me
very concerned.  My mind was unable to remember the Amendment,  for it had
repressed such a vile threat, that I had to read the fateful words of it
again,  each one another nail in my coffin;

"Amendment 20;  in order to protect the health of the citizenship from
Sexually Transmitted Diseases  (STD) and to preserve the citizenship from
the difficulties of child birth and rearing until that age upon which they
will be fit to shoulder these hardships and responsibilities,  the
intentional signaling out of virgins for persecution of any kind is
forbidden."

Thank God that I live in Illinois and have friends in Canada,  for such a
vile law would certainly make it necessary for me to leave my country to
escape the sentences of an angry
court.
