Good Evening ladies and gentleman,
Welcome to the second in the series of World Wrestling presidental
Championship matches. The contestants are the reigning champion
George "The Slinger" Bush who is known for his ability to blind
voters and obscure the truth with his mud slinging tactics. He
has been at top for too long and the fans are tired of his dirty
tactics
 The challengers are Ross (The weasel) Perot known for his sneaky moves
and his ability to squeeze money out of opponents, address the issues
but offer no solutions, but not to underestimated because of his
running animosity with the Slinger.
 The dark horse in this contest is Bill (The CHANGE ) Clinton, who although not
favored is showing the ability to draw the crowd to him by showing
his wrestling plan and sticking to the issues. Yes ladies and
gentleman it looks like quite a contest but only YOU the voters
can determine the outcome of this match. So like the nikey commercial
says just do it. Vote!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Doesn't matter for who, as long as
you believe it the right choice. The only winners and losers in this
election will be the american people.

                                        A little humor
                                        Charlie S. (Cs07@swtexas.bitnet)

Greetings,

I agree with those who note Quayle's (the moron) mannerisms.  I must say,
though, I got equally tired of Gore's incessant interjections ("I want to
respond to this," over and over while Quayle was speaking).

Oops, sorry Steve! NEMD is 'Neglected Exposed to Moral Danger', according to
the Child Welfare Act of that era any female under the age of 18 in company
with males, who were non-relatives, in a public place could be charged. The
aboriginal girls in question were all aged 16/17 and were talking to some of
their male friends in the public bar of the hotel where we were staying.
What I found particularly offensive about the whole episode was that according
to Aboriginal culture these girls had every right to be sexually active at that
age if they so wished..... so IMHO it was clearly racial prejudice at work in
one of its ugliest forms, which I was forced to be a party to. The girls
however didn't seem to mind - they in fact welcomed the opportunity to see more
of the country..... and to get out of Bourke into the 'big smoke'.

	Doctors have perfected a technique that will allow them to
suck fat from the buttocks or thighs of a man and inject it into
the penis, to make the organ larger.  Said one doctor critical of
the procedure, "If something goes wrong, it isn't like the penis
is readily replaceable!"

I went on a 22-mile bike ride yesterday.  It wasn't very easy as I've been
real sedentary over the past few months and completely out of shape.  My
butt's awfully sore.  We rode by the river and got to see some of the
gorgeous fall foliage.  It's just beginning to change color.  The copper
beeches were still green.

I've been working all day today -- writing my lecture for Tuesday's class,
working on the paper that has to be mailed at the end of the week et cetera.
Still have a bunch of assignments to grade and solutions to prepare.

I just remembered something I meant to post right after taking Bernardykins
for a walk this morning, but then I got bogged down in paper-grading and
forgot.  I ran into a former student who's a native of Mississippi and got
his BA and MA here.  He recently got a PhD at UT and is now teaching at a
small college in Georgia.  When I asked him how he liked his job, he said,
"It's good to be back in the South."  I said, "You don't consider Knoxville
part of the South?"  And he replied, "No, it's not the real South.  You know.
You lived there.  You know what I mean."  I guess I do sort of know what he
means, although I find East Tennessee far more Southern than Florida.  (It
was our list discussion of Florida's not being part of the South that prompted
me to tell you about today's conversation.)

	Excuse my ignorance, JMW, but so what?  Does the above <out of context>
	quotation say anything whatsoever about what Gore's suggested plan
	would cost?  Does it say that the US would bear the entire expense?
	Does it say anything about *anything* except the proportionate cost of
	the Marshall Plan?

	Having never seen the inside of the book, and therefore unable to
	determine the context in which these sentences were written, I infer
	that Gore is simply dropping a bit of his (staff's) research into the
	discussion -- 'fact-dropping' if you will.  Nothing more, nothing less.

	You know, movie promoters used to pull exact but misleading quotes from
	reviews.  For instance, they'd drop the first 4 words from a sentence
	like 'This is far from the best movie I've seen this year.'  Quayle is
	doing something similar with this quote, IMHO.

be able to get jobs out of school because of cutbacks.  I would like to clear
one thing up.  Cutbacks are not affecting us.  They will begin affecting
cadets who just matriculated, the class of 1996.  They will be the first class
in history not to be offered regular commissions in the military.  They will
be offered reserve commissions and then the best will be augmented into
regular commissions slots.  That is how it should be done as to weed out all
that aren't really what the "new" military is looking for.  You might not
realize this but the military is becoming more and more competitive.  For
example, three years ago when I was awarded a four year Marine Corps
scholarship the average SAT of recipients was a 1250.  That's pretty
competive.  In addition, out of over 400,000 applicants less than 4,000
scholarships were awarded for that branch of service.  As you can see, it
isn't easy to be an officer in the military today and it is only getting
harder.  Cutbacks are hurting everyone but those of us who were contracted
before this year still have jobs, not that we would have trouble finding them
in the working world anyway.  That is, those of us who maintain high GPAs.
Don't worry Marty, we won't be living off of welfare.  Not yet anyway.

It didn't occur to me when I first read the Child Welfare Act that it could
have been used that way... but, in practice, I later discovered it often was.

>Any special reason Austraian whites smell like sour milk.

Aboriginals in those days couldn't afford milk with their weetbix for
breakfast like the 'wealthy whites'.
