Count me in on voting.

But what I really, *reeaally* want to know is what is being said about..
you know, that other group of people who can't seem to understand
compassion (I'm refusing to say republican...shoot, I just did) and
that one guy who wants to be pres. again.  Cause, I been reading the
Seattle Times here and its been just loaded with attacks on Bush.
(urg, I said his name too!)  Since the convention,  I haven't seen
anything remotely positive about him in the Newspaper and everyone
I talk to was complety disgusted with the convention.  I know that
Seattle, sometimes, can have liberal view but I've never seen it
so one sided.

Just wait till he gets a look at alt.fan.dan-quayle, not to mention
all the sex, drugs, religion and politics newsgroups.  (And need I even
mention soc.motss and soc.bi?)  We may very well hear rhetoric about
netnews in the campaign this fall.

[We've weathered a decade of media fearmongering in the U.S. and Canada
 about "obscene" materials and taxpayer funding, and most of the "family
 values" crap in this campaign has done nothing but create a backlash
 against the Republicans, but I'm not looking forward to it, anyhow.]

I wonder how often Tucker Quayle will have to change his email address.

Yes, John.  The BiCentrist Alliance is a group of politically
moderate folk.  The women are feminist.  The reason polygamous
was omitted is because, monogamy or duogamy are preferred and
encouraged.  If you'd like to learn more.  Write for the free

To me it was more a matter of discovering that I am not attracted to a huge
variety of people, and that this had really been cutting down the number of
people who felt comfortable with me. I am happier now that I am not having
to constantly think about passing, and just with my sexuality generally.
The main result of this seems to be that I feel more comfortable around 
people in general, and (esp. women) find me much less threatening, as I no
longer cause them to constantly have to re-evaluate how much of a pass
I am making at them?

Surgeon Generals Warning: trying to rebuild a closet and hold it together
for more than a couple of months is VERY BAD for your mental health.

But: I really enjoy looking at people as sex objects, I am just aware more
of how shitty it can feel to have this done to you...

[Hilarious stuff about ripping an Atari ST apart deleted]

Those ST keyboards are totally crap, the mouse is pretty obnoxious too, it
seems the only decent input device one can hook up to an ST is a joystick
and that's so you can play Lemmings. I had the same problem with my space
bar until I moved the button on to the numeric keypad (data entry and
Atari STs don't seem to go together awfully well). Macs may be over priced
and under-powered, and based on old software technology, but at least the
keyboards are nice and you can run X.Windows on it (using A/UX or 
MachTen Unix)- yes even on a 9-inch mono screen... (but you'd be mad to)...

Remember kiddies, Atari STs can screw you up, they are not Bi-friendly
and fall apart when introduced into Bi-space or are operated by Bi-users,
clearly a deficiency in the user interface. Anyway, would *you* want to be
found in posession of a machine whose main operating system (for wont
of a better word) is called TOS?

   So I come home from work early today, because I want to make my
terminal emulator even sillier, and what do I find in my mailbox?
Why, it's an INVITATION from the American Nazi^H^H^H^HRepublican
party; they want me to attend a reception for Maggie Thatcher on
the 17'th of September, and/or join the Presidential Roundtable
(for a nominal $5000 yearly fee!)

   What can I say?  Have the Republicans decided that queerfolk are
*really *stupid and will happily give them all of our money before
they sent the purity police around to relocate us to the new "family
values" deathcamps?  Or do they think that nobody but the most knee-
jerk conservative would subscribe to The Economist?  Or maybe, just
maybe, they think they might not win the election, even with the new
Willie Horton and/or Enemy Of Humanity waiting to be butchered for
one or two percentage points in the polls.

   What I'd like to do is send them a sweet little letter saying that
I don't give money to Nazis, but I'd rather not draw too much attention
to myself while the Party of Darkness controls the country.  No, I think
it's time to send a little more money to Mr. Clinton, just on the offchance
he wins and I can be alive to enjoy the 1996 election.

   The truely amazing thing is that my family has contained _card_ _carrying_
members of the Socialist Party of the USA and the ACLU for _at_ _least_ the
past thirty years.  It's good to see that the Republicans are just as good
at indexing records as a collection of ants are at performance art.

With the round of recent 'outings' of members of Republican Party,
one needs not onlyt to read their 'lips' but which side of the mouth
the lips are moving on. On the one hand they have the Schlafly
Eaglettes, and on the other crypto-queers who want tight purse
strings but alternative social programs.

I once read, maybe it was in the 'Mythical Man Month', were
companies develop system which replicate the company's internal
organization. Well, apply this to the Republican and one concludes
that at best their hypocritical, at worse schizophrenic, with
sociopathic tendencies.

But then there's the Democrats who may eventually live down their
party's support for slavery. But with the recent 'labor is a
non-issue except to get votes' attitude, they may just as well be
Republicans, maybe republocrats or democans.
