Feh.  You've obviously never been to New York State.  Aint no "nice"
people there, bro'.

You might want to check out a book I found in the Mountain View library
last weekend, called "Cocaine Politics".  And after that, you might
just find yourself wondering why noriega is on ice and Ollie North
isn't.  Did you know that North is not allowed in Costa Rica anymore,
due to his involvement with Contra-aid find raisers?

And no doubt you'll despise any people who aren't dead, protesting
about Robert Harris's visit to the "showers" at San Quentin.

You mean we should've ENCOURAGED the people who torched the CHP
car, the night the Gulf "War" started?

Who knows, maybe you're right.  Personally, I'd enjoy spending
15 minutes alone with Randall Terry and a Swiss Army knife...
Anyway, this is likely to prove to be a turbullent decase; who
knows, I may end up holding Rehnquist or Uncle Thomas down, while
some NOW members gut them!

Tough talk, from a man cowering up in the hills.

Actually, it was Raphael I wanted to emulate.  He's really good with
those sais! :v)

Takahashi was cool and DAMNED impressive, as you said.  So, I was sad
that it couldn't happen, due to a lack of free time.  I still have his card
though, so maybe someday......

"They were conquerors, and for that you want only brute force - nothing
to boast of, when you have it, since your strength is just an accident
arising from the weakness of others.  They grabbed what they could get
for the sake of what was to be got.  It was just robbery with violence,
aggravated murder on a grand scale, and men going at it blind - as is
very proper for those who tackle a darkness.  The conquest of the earth,
which mostly means taking it away from those who have a different
complexion or slightly flatter noses than ours, is not a pretty thing
when you look at it too much."
