Pan Grissom,

I have not seen that particular acronym, but it looks like STRategic Air
Command to me.  Which has recently gone out of business, I believe.  And
to answer the rest of your question, I got out a long time ago.  Oct 30,
1978, to be exact.

Cowher. It stirs up images of a fear-filled child in a corner. This is

play of the team by reinstituting a non-discriminatory (refering to
rookies) playing policy and two-a-day practices in training camp.
Without spouting statistics, which I may do at a later date if

Paglia's first book, Sexual Personae, is dense and often convoluted, but
worth reading. She's come to public attention primarily through
self-promotion and one-line hyperbolic attacks on feminism, PC,
and especially rape. She has said that domestic violence against women
is overstated and that women stay in abusive relationships because of
"hot sex." She has been called "the thinking man's Andrew Dice Clay."

Apology accepted, Tanaka-san.  And many thanks for the one hour's

hour; the railroad that ran the great-granddaddy of Shinkansen
offered 38 fast trains a day.  I've been using 38 FAST trains as a
sig every so often.

Opportunity cost is an economic term that captures Anne Harwell's
recognition that choosing to do something always involves choosing
not to do something else.  The opportunity cost of using resources
in some way is the goodies those resources would produce in the
next best use.  So if -abh buys a mink coat; the opportunity cost
is the next best use to which she could have put the money.  That
next best use might be purchasing medical care; more likely it
would be a purchasing a motorcycle.

I'm holding on (still on musical hold...).  Those problem
solving and strength tests are applied to each individual.  The army
doesn't decide that (say) women are, on average, weaker than men
and therefore deny all women entry.  Even if Rushton's theories about
blacks' being stupider than whites (who are in turn supposedly stupider than
orientals) were true, it wouldn't justify discriminating against all
members of the group based on an average property of the group.  Even
Rushton would agree that there are some brilliant blacks out there.

All true, and all just as applicable to employment.  Yet most western
countries these days prohibit most discrimination in employment, and
most people seem to support such prohibition.  Is there a relevant
difference between an organisation like the Boy Scouts and one like
General Motors ?

Alas, my dear, *you never know*.  That's why some of us pray, and some of 
us wear our belts with suspenders.  Some of us are happy little carpe-
diem grasshoppers, and some are slow-and-steady ants.  So just go 
eat, drink, and be merry, for tomorrow we may need pennies for a rainy day.

And watch out for the grass on the other side of the fence...

He did, but I still consider the Aaronology postings as the high-water
mark for hostility in here.
