I have been polling some people about having a mud that revolves around
the movies that Arnold S. (the guy from terminator.  name to hard spell) has
starred in.  You could have a terminator I and II areas, a predator area, a
total recall area, a twins area, a kindergarden cop area, a comando area, and
a hercules area.  There is alot of possiblities out there and a lot of areas
to have fun with.

  One thing you didn't address is the reason why it is valid to 
  constitutionally mandate Presidential term limits while it is
  at the same time your position not to mandate Congressional 
  term limits.  Am I misrepresenting your opinion?

  This is awfully simplistic (PC), did you think about this?  Take a look 
  around you as you read this line and figure out how many items are 
  by-products of oil.  Think about the packaging of everything you buy and 
  figure out how many plastic parts are in the machines you use.  Think about 
  how everything in your life physically got where it is, it was transported
  by a machine using an internal combustion engine 99% of the time.

  I submit to you that had Iraq succeded in their objective to control 
  the supply of Middle East oil that the global recession that is 
  manifested today would be much worse and you might soon be out of
  a job and into a line.

  The best thing about the current situation is that our oil is still in 
  the ground and will be there as a resource _later_.  The guy with the
  last drops of oil will eventually be the most powerful.   Would the
  world be a better place with the US on top or with a country like
  Iraq (fill in your favorite country here).

>(Question: why has solar not taken off in the USA? Answer#1: because no company

  Can this be proven or is this just what you suspect?

Just another thought on term limits:
We have had a two term limit on the president since the anti-Roosevelt
amendment.  Since then, how many presidents could possibly have served a third
term?
I'm too young to know of Truman or Ike, but I hear they weren't overly popular
by the time they left office. Going through the rest of the list:
Kennedy: Shot
Johnson: Refused to run for a second term
Nixon: Resigned in disgrace to avoid being impeached
Ford: Ousted
Carter: Ousted
Reagan:  It would have been tough for him to win again after Irangate but not
an unthinkable prospect.  (personally I don't think he would have won)

So far, the term limit has never come into play.  It didn't have to, the voters
ousted the people they didn't want.  I still say it's a bad idea.

Companies are productive.  If the CEO of your company makes too much
money, vote with your feet and go elsewhere with your job or stock.
They're not supposed to be working for you, they're supposed to be
working for the company.  The government, on the other hand, is
playing with _our_ money, and doing a very bad job of it.  A good
corporation might wish to tie executive salaries to performance.  We
should do the same for the congresscum.


>Labelling taxation as "theft" is quite an emotional response.

You tend to get emotional when you've been mugged.  What is theft but
taking someone's money by threat of force?  As opposed to taxation
which is, uh...  taking someone's money by threat of force.

"Lucky"?  As in, we just woke up one day, and whoops, we're rich?
People who have gotten rich have done so in spite of the current
system, in which the government does everything in its power to make
sure people don't succeed.  The system that was in place before the
era of big half-socialist government may have been a system which
helped, but the current system certainly isn't.

It's tough to be politically correct. Just ask the people at the
Harvard Divinity School. Doing its bit to save the planet, the 
school placed recycling bins around campus to collect paper. The
bins were originally labeled "white" and "colored." Someone 
anonymously relabeled the latter bins "paper of color." _Penthouse_
magazine reports that the school then relabeled all the bins
"bleached paper" and "dyed paper."

I don't know.  I just know that some can sit back and watch Ronald Reagan. former
pres of US, tell a group of children on national TV that Indians should join
America and become citizens like the rest of "us." ["Us" meaning "Americans"]

Since Ronald was president, I assume this means he was elected by a vast majority
of Americans.  If not, I guess I forgot how elections work.

All white people are NOT responsible for racism because many are not racist.  But
many still maintain a system that holds negative views and ideas about AfAms and
Native Americans, as Dowdy says.  No one is guilty for things one hasn't 
committed.  But when one allows ignorance and bigotry to continue, nothing 
changes.  People in America still believe Native Americans are no-emotion-feeling,
arrow-shooting, tomahawk-chopping, "how"-saying, fools.  When people believe 
these things, this is ALL THEY CAN do.  This is the best some can do.

Subject: surprising article on harassment
Date: 8 Apr 92 17:30:00 GMT
Organization: University at Buffalo
News-Software: VAX/VMS VNEWS 1.41


I came across something which surprised me in the campus newspaper of
the University of Buffalo (aka SUNY Buffalo) yesterday, because it was a
balanced treatment of the "sexual harrassment"
and "date rape" issues.  I have often wondered how much such discussions
truly have to do with these issues, and how much they have to do with
women, en masse, trying to get the upper hand in the battle of the sexes.
Since the article was written by a woman, and reported on a speech given
by a woman, it is obvious that at least these two woman are willing to at
least give lip service to men's rights.

The article reported on a talk by the supervisor of the campus Anti-Rape
Task Force (ARTF), one Denise Martin, who made the following statements,
both pro and con, presented here out of context.  The quotations are -

The reason behind the forum was "to discuss and address the current epidemic
of violence against women."

She said that "peer harrassment" is a broad term that encompasses
everything from joking and teasing to physical and emotional abuse.

She quoted statistics based on national data and individual campus
studies to show that only 10 to 15 percent of men say that they have
forced or intimidated a woman into having sex, while 15 to 25 percent
of women say that they have been thus victimized.

"Not all men students harass women students," she said.

"We need policies prohibiting peer harassment," and further explained
that "when harassing behaviors occur continually, they send the
message that women are not to be treated with respect."

"Many men simply do not understand how women can be offended or
intimidated by certain behaviors."  She also said, "to some degree,
sexual harassment is in the eye of the beholder, and that what one
woman may consider to be flirting, another may consider to be bother-
some, and it is sometimes difficult for men to distinguish between
these two reactions."

End of quotations.

Now, applying the "Alice's Restauraunt" principle, which says that if
one person believes something, it doesn't matter much, but if two people
believe something, it might be a conspiracy, and if three people believe
something, then it must be a movement.  This may mean that we
here have two women guilty as charged of (gasp!) a conspiracy of open-
mindedness, and that if we search hard enough we might be able to root
out some more.  In fact, I can think of two that I know (or know of)
off the top of my head.  I wonder what it means.  For one, it might put
a damper on a little of the anti-PC bitching.  Now if only the highly
reputed universities, such as McGill, where PC is quite strong, would show
themselves to be so open-minded.  I personally have had my fill of "all sex
is rape" and "all men are rapists."  Only a delusional psycho-neurotic
could believe that lunacy.  "All femnism is rape," would be more
accurate.

Recently, it has come to our attention that a certain football team in
the NFL has, as a symbol, something that could be considered racist and
offensive to a large segment of the population of the United States. 
This symbol promotes false images of these people, trivializes their
great struggles throughout the history of this country, and is totally
inappropriate.  Thus, we, along with our compatriots in the Fanatical
Unpredictable College Killers Extremely Deadly Under Pressure, who have
sworn to remove all traces of racism from the face of the Earth, demand
that the owner of this racist team, the New England Patriots, at once
choose a new symbol for his team, or else.

We feel that the choosing of the "Patriot" for a symbol is entirely
uncondonable.  To so mock the brave efforts of the many thousands of
brave men who died in fighting to gain independence for America borders
on blasphemy.  Reducing the "Patriots" to the level of a caricature
ignores both their true accomplisments and the suffering and pain they
were forced to historically undergo.  

Additionally, the use of this symbol promotes unfair racial archetypes. 
Many times I have had the misfortune to attend a meeting of the Sons of
the American Revolution, only to hear someone in the back row whisper
"But they're not all 6'6", 250-lb. bearlike guys with muscles bulging out
of their white linen shirts!  Why, they don't even wear those funny
three-cornered hats and the nice blue jackets!"  Such sentiments can
cause real pain to the unfortunate listener who happens to be descended
from an authentic American Patriot and is, unfairly, expected to carry a
musket, curse the Queen of England, quote Thomas Paine at will, and
otherwise measure up to an outdated and misinformative symbol.

We, the undersigned, hereby decry the racist symbolism inherent in the
nickname "Patriots" and demand that it be changed at the earliest
opportunity.  If our demands are not met, we will immediately begin a
huge media campaign, stage mass protests at games where this team plays,
and insist that the National Association for the Advancement of White
People launch an immeditate investigation of Victor Kiam, or, should the
team be sold, its current owner:
