You can have a leather jacket without having a motorcycle.  This might be
a good first step.  On the other hand, wearing leather chaps without a
motorcycle is definitely considered odd.  This is a good reason right here
to get a motorcycle.  And, I believe the fingerless gloves are also
considered rather curious without a motorcycle to provide some justification
for their use.

Huh?  If a year number is divisible by 4000, then it is also divisible by
400.  What I am assuming you mean to say is: "Current rules, except exclude as

This weekend, during our sleeplessness kick, we watched CNN's
reruns of past GOP nat'l conventions.  We watched Barry
Goldwater's nomination acceptance speech from the '64 convention.
The camera panned around at the well-behaved crowd of Republican
delegates.  

They were all white.
They were all middle-aged.
They were mostly fat.
The men were smoking cigars.
They wore frightening cats-eye glasses.
They applauded Goldwater when he spoke against the civil rights movement.

They were the establishment.

If I were a teenager in 1964, you BET I'd have smoked pot,
done acid, marched on Selma, occupied my college campus, and 
rioted in the streets.  The nation needed it desperately.

The 80s undid the progress of the late 60s & the 70s.
The nation needs it desperately again.  

The problem is that the 60s youth revolution had the enormous
momentum of millions of babyboomers.  This time, in the 90s,
those babyboomers are fat and middle-aged.  They outnumber
people of my generation.  Can my generation explode with enough
force to overcome the babyboomer inertia?  I doubt it.

I am disenfranchised.

bought his own Hustler without getting ID'd.

He spent more and more time flipping through his magazines, saving

Insatiable, he'd lock himself in his room when he came home. He wasn't

While Roger's puerile denazification attempts might have been more 
appropriate 50 years ago, you are apparently a leftover from the
1960-80s' KGB-financed leftist movement in Central Europe.
But despite the historic (and by you and your diehard comrades
doubtlessly heartfelt) brothely kiss between Jimmy Carter and Leonid
Breshnev in Vienna, people (except for your group) nowadays don't have
a very favorable view of the latter (or the former) anymore; and that
extends to Mr. Gromyko, with whom I happen to share little more than
my first name.  Weren't you among those naive, manipulated small-time
leftists who in 1980 cried out "If Ronald Reagan becomes President of
the US, he'll start a nuclear war!"?  Where is that war now, I ask you?
Hmmm?  Let me suggest that these days your political views are rather
unfashionable, if not completely unhip.  Anyway, today's important
issues are family jewe..., uh, values.

As for Sputnik: let's not forget Nazi Germany's major contribution to it.
