	Note 1) rec.motorcycles has seriously debunked the findings of
the HURT study, and in virtually every category bikers cost less than
automobile drivers.  Check your insurance rates if you don't believe me.
	Note 2) this is an attempt to get the law changed.  A law based
upon flawed data and "feel-good" intentions is worth fighting, and
one method of fighting it is to remove benefits the targeted group might
provide to society until the law is repealed.

	Yes, it might not hold up in court.  It will, however, take far
longer to sort out in court than my organs will take to decompose, making
this an issue best solved outside of the court and indeed in the halls
of Congress.  The point is that a few thousand motorcyclists feel trod
upon and are hitting back where it hurts.  Perhaps gun owners might take
the hint and use their numbers to force changes to the laws that infringe
upon our rights for ill-concieved reasons?

RENEWABLE ENERGY 'ENVIRONMENTALLY
CRITICAL', SAYS NEW WRI REPORT
 
Renewable energy technologies are part of a list of
"environmentally critical" technologies that the federal government
should support, according to a new report from the World Resources
Institute, a Washington, DC, policy organization.
 
The report, entitled Backs to the Future: U.S. Government Policy
Toward Environmentally Critical Technology, was authored by George
Heatton and Robert Repetto, and is billed by the Institute as "the
first attempt in this country to define and identify areas of
technological advance that would markedly reduce the environmental
burdens of economic progress."
 
The authors focus on government policy because it strongly
influences the development of new technologies, "from research
dollars and procurement decisions to infrastructure design and
standard-setting," an Institute news release added.
 
"Among the most promising environmental R&D areas," it said, " . .
. are methods of non-fossil fuel energy production and use . . .
and hydrogen and other storage methods.  Many such technologies,
now in early stages of development, would yield large social
returns from technical advances . . . "
 
Backs to the Future's recommendations, the release said, include
the creating of a national research and development (R&D)
institute, altering the missions of the national laboratories, and
changing criteria for funding environmental R&D.
 
Copies of Backs to the Future can be obtained for $9.95 plus $3
shipping and handling from WRI Publications, PO Box 4852, Hampden
Station, Baltimore, MD 21211, USA, phone (800) 822-0504.

Just some thoughts that occured to me the other day.  Some of the things
that the gay community have been accused of are everyday practice by
the religous right.  At the hotel that my lover works at, there is a religous
group that is having "leadership" meetings.  That actually means "recruiting"
meetings.  Our community is accused of being the ones to recruit, well that is
a laugh!!  Conservatives make me SICK with their hypocracy and narrow 
mindedness.  Does any one else feel this way!?  Religon is the biggest CULT
in the world, and they must be stopped where they are.  I am all for 
christianity or other forms of worship, but religion is not worship.  Religion
is a cultist group that twists good clean worship into a militant "everyone
should think like us" front.  I am not against freedom or worship, just 
against a militant religious movement.  Any comments?

  Oh, just what the world needs a magazine dedicated to gay punks.  As if
  there is any redeemable quality here.  I know I'd really admire and want

  hang out with some punk who likes to suck dick.  As if either one of

You're clearly confusing "PRO HETERO" and "anti-gay."  What you post 
is hetero-neutral, but it is clearly anti-gay.  Someone who is only
pro-hetero would have no reason to bash others.  Unless you was
REAL insecure in some way or another.  But I digress....

But, if you're going to be proud of being a bigot, you may as well 
hide behind a pretty euphemism...makes it easier to hold your head
up in public, sleep, and otherwise live with yourself.  Assuming
you have a conscience.

> >|       **********         They call me homophobic,           |

It's not clear from your postings if you're specifically afraid of
homosexuals.  But "homophobic" has come to mean "anti-gay,"
and you're clearly that.

These things are clear from your postings.  No surprise here.

They also call you "obnoxious," "immature," "compassionless,"
and "illogical."

No surprise there, either.

> >|**    \      ****/    **  They blame me for their problems,  |

Only those that you and people like you cause.  Are you willing
to face responsibility for your ideas and postings and the grief
that they cause?  I suspect not.

> >|**     \  ****  /     **  They cannot tolerate me,           |

You we can tolerate.

But no, minorities cannot tolerate your bigoted ideas.  It's a matter
of life and death to not tolerate your ideas.

> >|**     ****    /      **  They cannot respect me,            |

Respect is a two-way street.  Give some and you'll get some in
return.  You've done nothing to earn any respect.  And you've
done a lot to warrant not getting any.

> >| ** **** \    /      **   They do not know me,               |
> >|  ****    \  /      **         yet they judge me.            |

You're known through your postings.  And judged appropriately.

Stop being a martyr.  You brought it on by being an obnoxious 
bigot, not by being straight.  Wah!

> >|       **********         They must be heterophobes!!        |

More confusion.  No one here has an issue with your (assumed)
heterosexuality.  But there is a great deal of concern about
your anti-gay bigotry.  So, they're not heterophobes, they're
prudently afraid of bigots.

You don't speak for heterosexuals.  But your signature implies
that you think you do.  Stop it.

Interesting that you put the pink triangle (black-and-white version)
in a "no" circle-with-slash:  since the Nazis forced gays to wear
pink triangles before they were executed, one unlikely interpretation
of your logo is that you're anti-Nazi.

I run/edit this gay zine (magazine kind of thing) called Fucktooth, which
is mainly geered toward gay punks but is of general interest to both gays
and punks and people in general. Anyway, 

I NEED HELP!
I particularly need submissions/contributions from artists/comix artists,
because the zine tends to be all words and no pictures. 

i would however, appreciae contributions of any kind, including news items
from your area, editorials (your opinion on anything) or articles or
anything really. oh, personal ads are FREE.

issue number six is in the process and almost finished though i have NO
cover illustration at the moment, and that could delay things a bit. 

if you send me stuff i'll send youb ack the current issue, nubmer 5, or
send me a dollar and i will send it to you. ohter info: half size, xeroxed,
24pgs. deals a lot with politics. would like to get away from that though.
also prints poems andprose. doesn't have to be gay related, if it is well
written or done i will probably print it. 

send me email if interested, or write me at:
