Date: Tue, 10 Nov 1992 17:07:03 GMT



    I was just informed that there will be a meeting tonight, Tuesday,
November 10 at 7 PM, at the Madison City Hall, discussing the renewal
of the 4 year contract of Madison's Chief of Police Cecil Moses.  It is
an open public forum to get community feedback on the chief's performance
over the past four years.

    The person informing me of this meeting reminded me of the following:

    1.  Wearing ninja outfits, the Madison police raided and searched the
	now defunct "Pirate's Cove" restaurant/bar ( in the K-Mart shopping
	center ), including body searches of the patrons, sometime in 1990
	( I forget the actual date ).  It was some sort of drug raid which
	turned up nothing, and got very little press.

    2.  After an apartment dweller's dog got loose, a neighbor telephoned
  	Madison police, who promptly arrived and shot the dog, who later
	had to be put to sleep by the vet.

    3.  Mr. Moses was apparently having an affair with a married woman
	( who apparently got pregnant and had an abortion without informing
	her husband, according to court records ).  The husband has also
	claimed that Mr. Moses ( an ex-FBI man ) threatened having the
	husband's security clearance at his Boeing job revoked.

	The person notifying me of this meeting said that the police chief
	contract specifically mentions "personal conduct" as an item to
	be considered in retaining or dismissing the chief.

I apologize for the sketchiness of this note, but I don't have all
the exact details at hand.

It is getting close to 5Am now and I really shouldn't be doing this 
but..here goes.
 
Rights: Rights are given to all citizens who are born in the USA via 
the constitution. This has nothing at all to do with religion. In 
fact I am not a member of any church in particular and I have several 
friends who are homosexual. However I do not believe that people who 
CHOOSE to act in a certian way are entitled to any more rights than 
the rest of us.
 
I support the Cracker Barrel not hiring homosexuals. That is the owner's 
right. No one has a right to be hired because they engage in illegal 
(in this state) activity.
 
Furthermore you must consider the liability factor. We all know that 
the highest group of people with AIDS is the members of the homosexual 
community. A restaraunt owner then opens himself up to legal problems 
when one of his homosexual employees cuts themselves and the cause 
of AIDS is spread to a customer. A lawsuit I am sure we will se within 
the next five years.
 
Personally I have nothing against homosexuals as individuals or a 
a whole. The thing I don't like is this nonsence about "Gay Rights"
Just exactly WHAT do they want the RIGHT to do?
 
And by the way, they can get married in CA. and according to the 
interstate compact each state has to recognize that marraige.
 
On my national Delphi conference area (I host an area designed to 
help adoptees and birthparents become reunited) there was a horriffic 
argument between myself and two others, one hetrosexual male and one 
homosexual male who insisted that homosexuals should be allowed to 
adopt. NOT ON MY WATCH! :)
Sorry, but that is the way I feel about it and nothing is going to 
change my mind.
 
As I said before I do have friends who are "gay", however I do not 
discuss their sex life with them and I do not feel that is any of 
my business. They know that I know, but it doesn't bother them.
 
or me
 
And if I were to hire one of them it would not be in a position where 
they would be in direct contact with the public or the food or drink 
business.
 
How about Blonde rights?
 
How about ugly people's rights? Short peoples rights? or what about 
political rights? I mean, have you ever been turned down for a job 
because you were too "Liberal"? (Believe it or not, I HAVE! HA!
Last month!
 
Conservative, Leah

  Are you sure about that Tim?  I remember being flown to North Carolina
  and receiving rental car reimbursement, lodging, meals, and yes, 
  salary as an "unpaid" observer.  Hence, my previous statements...

  However, my "volunteer" remarks stand corrected: these folks do
  receive, in Alabama, a small amount for taking hours of abuse as
  disgruntled taxpayers bent over for another national election

  bent over = "vote for change" 
            = "disorganized poll organizations"
            = "lend me your ear, wallet, offspring..."
            = "tax'em for earning and for spending, how about for having $$$?"

He probably was doing what most politicians do when faced with a 
question asked by a certain group, which he thinks will not like 
the answer. Atleast he did not do like some and lie.  Personally 
I give him credit for not knuckling under to a group of bigots
and telling them what they want to hear, so he can get their vote.
Personally that was the easiest election for me on the entire ballot. 
I think ole' Bud (what a lousy political name, should politicians 
change their name like actors?) has done a pretty good job so far. 
A lot better than our two senators, or almost anyone else running 
for re-election

I see you belong to the group that believes why try an intelligent 
conversation when a few insults will do. Let's see you try to clasify 
someone as a killer just because they do not like Clinton. Talk about 
a jump of logic. I doubt you have to worry much about Lt. Braswell 
in a war of wits, he is probably the type who does not like to fight 
unarmed opponents.

You bring up a very good point...I wanted to Sue Julian Butler
if the re-districting hadn't gone through I would have...
However this leads me to the conclusion that they will just do
everything in their power to make sure that the certification
stands as is...with Grady in the seat. (not the Hot Seat)
I hope this line noise isn't showing up in my message!

Larry, I'm very curious as to what similarities you see between DINK's
and homosexual marriages.  My wife and I have been DINK's (God, I hate
being labelled!) for nearly 14 years and have decided to forgo having
children for reasons that make sense for us (not that I feel any need
to rationalize our marriage to you).  I have always had a knee-jerk
reaction to people who believe that the sole (or at least the most
important) reason for (conventional) marriages is to procreate.  My wife
is my very best friend and as far as I'm concerned that's reason enough.

But please, do share with us your thoughts on the similarities between
DINK's and homosexual marriages.

He's right, for better or worse were stuck with him for four years, so the
best thing to do is hope for the future not fear.
I am definately a conservative republican (not entirely on the right, but
right turns are easier than left turns) and I am going to stop complaining
until he does something wrong.  However when he does, I'll eat him alive,
boil him in oil, and burn him at the stake, him and all his supporters, and
his little dog toto too.

You read it here first people. Glenn Nunley will be District 4's newest 
County Commissioner! Horray for Glenn (I voted for him). It seems 
that what happened at one of my boxes (which really had no effect 
on the outcome of my election) happened at precent 37 as well...that 
is the people were handed ballots which were not the correct ballot. 
Only TEN people at that precent were reggistered to vote in the County 
Commission Dist 4 race. in actuallity (sp) the voters cast something 
like over 1400 votes in that race who were ineligible to vote in that 
particular election. The result, the box will be stricken (probablly) 
and the new total will result in a victory for Republican Glenn Nunley.
 
 As for me, I am very glad the elections are over. My feet are swollen!
I had a grand time running for office, it was a learning experience 
for me and I am ready now to continue to speak my mind about the 
outrageous things that our elected officials may do; being a "non-
 
candidate" has also given me a newfound freedom to open my mouth more 
often (at the risk of inserting my foot) which I don't mind doing.
  THANK YOU TO ALL WHO HELPED and to all who voted for me in this 

election. I only lost by apx 10% which is very good.
 I spent about $1,200 on my campaign in over 8 months. I am young 

for politics and I believe that there is a bright tomorow for me in 
Madison County.
 Still, if any of you are interested in the GI Bill for Children feel 

free to call me. There is a strong movement here for it and I hope 
to be a part of the system enough to get that started in Madison County.

First let me congradulte you for running a good campaign, even though 
your opponent won.
I couldn't believe the article I red in the newspape, that even thought 
Nunley had the most legal votes they gave the election to Abernathey. 
Is there some federal agency we could complain to? It does seem like 
a case of good ole boy poltics.

I always like to go to the Classic Cat Two, when I'm in Nashville.  Absolutely 
the best sounds in Nashville.  I'm not sure of the address, but it's two or
three blocks west of Printers Alley, which is another great place.

I meant that the "observers" are not paid out of the county treasury, as are
the poll workers, but are supplied by the political parties.  I suppose the
political parties could make arrangements with them for reimbursement for
their time.  Surely it wasn't the State of North Carolina who did  all that
for you?

I need to buy a vaporizer.  From what I remember, there are basically
two kinds, hot vapor & cold vapor.  The disadvantage of hot vapor was
the requirement of constant & thorough cleaning to avoid build-up of
mold & mildew that would be vaporized & then breathed into my lungs. 
The disadvantage of the cold vapor was a white mineral dust that would
accumulate after the vapor evaporates (unless purified water is always
used).

Any advice?  Which models are good/bad, cheap/expensive?

I plan on seeing what Consumer Reports has to say, but haven't had the
time yet.
