Dec.12,2012, my only point of dispair. It is of my opinion that no bible,
or no astrologer or anyone else claiming to see the future can predict the
world has to end.  Why does it "have to" come to an end?  I'm going to do
everything in my power to keep things the way they are, so forget it. Things
always  change, outcomes can be different, nothing is going to happen in 2012,
1999(by the way is when neptune and pluto cross over) or 2001.  To accept or
say a fact like that is to just give up.

Satanism is not the worship of Satan.  Why, then, is it called Satanism?   
Why not The Religion of Self or Egotism or something similar?  Bill Ellis  
mentioned that "the problem with most Satanism I've examined is that it  
stresses the novel and the immediately shocking, as if Christianity were  
the norm and Satanism destined to be the reaction.  In fact, Satanism may

  Not that I wouldn't be willing to stand by anything I submit (and not that it

0.2.1.1  If the editors feel the need to make a profit then 0.3 is null and

that one cannot have your cake and eat it too.  If somebody gets sued, it might

And these IOU problems are inevitable, so therefore, it's best to avoid them
all together.  Also, it makes a problem with titles.  Perhaps you write 
article A today, and give it the "fake xref" to article B that you plan to
write later, but then decide to change the title to "C" instead.  Then you've
got a problem.

OK, here goes --

Actually, Paul, I sort-of LIKE the idea of having the non-existing xref's
there... For Future Expansion (as the ol' line has it).  The logic behind
it is that as the author(s) is/are writing a piece, and have great ideas
for cross-references to articles they plan to write next, why not just
go ahead an include those cross-references?  Of course, the logic falls
thru when these "I.O.U." notes fall into some forgotton slip of time
and the later articles are not written... it is concerning those times
of regret to which I believe you are writing.

Thus, in the interests of article authors everywhere, my TG! (for DOS-based
systems, which for the most part are IBM-compatibles) thing WILL support
these un-linked cross-references (mostly because I've spent too much
time on the awesome code which DOES link-up the new, target xref's when
the articles finally DO arrive)...

BUT, to help keep the editor-in-chief happy, I shall assist in going thru
and making all of the "official" articles have only legitimate, ACTIVE
articles in their xref field (that's what you mean, right?)

>Steve!  I need a list of all the articles you've got or are working on, as you
>work on them, so I can keep this list up to date!

Paul!  I'll have the WORKING.NEW file posted on the FTP directory TOMORROW
(tuesday 09/14) from which you (and everyone else who wants to look there) can
see exactly what I have in the "queue" of the next official archive release!

(There aren't exactly a lot of new articles in the in-box these days;
actually, now that I think about it, there are about as many unprocessed
articles in my "to-be-processed" pile as there were two-headed, three-armed
galactic travellers at our last annual Interplanetary Project Galactic-Guide
Conference, i.e. none!)

I just received an article for the Pan Galactic Gargle Blaster that I'm
currently editing.  It came to my attention that the author included in his
list of cross-references many titles of non-existent articles.  It's clearly
stated in the Writing Guide that xrefs must be ACTUAL ENTRY TITLES.  I
believe that Steve Baker's TheGuide! software allows for non-existent xrefs,
but I talked to him earlier in the month, and we both agreed it would be a
lot easier if he didn't do that.  PLEASE!  In all future articles, DO NOT
have xref fields with non-existent articles in them!

To allow for people to get an up-to-date list of all the titles of articles
in the guide, I will try to post a list of all titles accepted to date once
a week, probably Fridays.

Editors will also attempt to include xrefs as they feel appropriate in new
articles, if the incoming article happened to pass over a few obvious xrefs.

Steve!  I need a list of all the articles you've got or are working on, as you

[previous articles sacrificed to the bandwidth Gods]

	I think it take a keg of beer to calm me down now... (life sucks)

	Everything can be altered (not nessesarily for the better though).
The people I'm talking about just gave up without ever trying to change
their lives (just sitting in a gutter [drunk of course] refusing help
saying "No, this is my lot in life").  Maybe some things can't be fixed
to a person's liking, but if they don't even attempt to try they don't have
a right to gripe about it IM(NSH)O.

	Knowing your limitations and not trying to exceed them is one
thing (I respect someone who knows their limits and admits it), but just
not trying isn't the same thing.  Even if it's beyond your limits to have
something, you can put your energy into something else.  What's the
use of sticking around if you think you can never change anything (when
things are bad) and that things will never change?

	Some people are tired of fighting it anymore... I know I am.
That doesn't stop me (spite and hatred are strong, mostly uncontrollable,
motivators).  There is nothing wrong with taking a break from the fight,
but it's better to lay down and die than turn yourself into a miserable
zombie for the rest of your life.

Religion and Suicide in the African-American Community by Kevin E. Early
Forwards by Ronald L. Akers and Robert Davis

Suicide among African Americans occurs at about half the rate with which it   occurs among white Americans.  Why is the black rate of suicide so much lower,  particularly when one considers the effects of racism and other socio-economic  factors on African American?  One answer that has been offered is that churches within the African-American community have a greater influence then among white Americans and that they provide amelioration of social forces that would        otherwise lead to suicide.
To date no other book has provided an in-depth ethnographic study of the      buffering effect of the black church against suicide.  Findings from the study  indicate that there is a consensus within the black community in terms of its   attitudes and beliefs toward suicide.  This important study will be invaluable  to sociologists and others studying contemporary race relations and social      problems.

   I don't know.  You just give up, become resigned, and life will continue
on in all it's drudgery.  Choosing to die and actually doing it takes a lot
of willpower to overcome the bodies natural instinct to fight back for its
existence.  Living is easy.
