A man jumps out of an airplane in order to die.  However, he
finds that he is unable to fall.  The wind blows gently, the
clouds drift by.  The clouds look soft and with a wriggling
motion he is able to rest himself on one.  He falls into a
deep sleep.

A week passes.

Waking, he finds that his skin has become white, and his
body has become light and intangible.  He is most surprised
to find that he is not afraid.  He thinks, this is what he
has always wanted, the weight has left his soul as it has
left his body.  Elated as never before, he leaps with joy.
But his shoelaces are tied together, and he falls to his
death.

If she only knew.

She met him on the night train to El Centro.  His shining blue eyes
met hers across the aisle.  She smiled, her heart warming, and took a
deep breath in tender anticipation. 

The killings had weathered dry parched places in his soul, and the twilight
sky left the smell of blood in the air. The moon emerged above the mountains,
illuminating the desert floor.  He could feel the soft tendrils of her love
reaching for him, but he could feed no more.  His eyes clouded and he turned away.

The train sped on into the night.

Are you seriously telling me that you want me to spend tax dollars
to teach people how to stop the spread of AIDS. Well first you get
all the gays to stop XXXXXXX each other in the XXX and then you get
the needle users to stop shooting up, and then you get the rest of
the heterosexual community to practice abstainence. Otherwise you
are safe from contracting unless you have contact with the blood
or body fluids of an infected person.

If it weren't for the sexual deviants that were attracted to monkeys
we wouldn't have this problem in the first place!

No,there is no DMT in these toads. Bufotenine, which is a deadly poison,
is, like many compunds in nature, hallucinogenic at low doses. So yes, it
is quite risky, and somewhat cruel to the toad when LSD is available and
more reliable.

The ancient Mayans used Bufo marinis for its hallucinogenic effects. Spanish
preists indicate witnessing rituals in which several toads were soaked in 
alcohol, and then the mix consumed by mayan males. Some of them tripped, some
died. There is a good article about this in some old archeaology mag, but

You see, when Clinton was governor, the nation went to hell under 2
successive Republican administrations.  Therefore it stands to reason what
while Clinton is president (the next highest office up), the whole world (the
next highest political entity up) will go to hell.

It's a general rule: the political entity next highest up from the one Clinton
is administering will go to hell during Clinton's term.

Perhaps this would have come about because of the collapse of the
Soviet Union, anyway?  Even if someone else were President?  Oh, you
neglected to mention Iraq's nuke program, which the US knowingly
allowed during the 1980s.

I can create a semblence of wealth by borrowing big time, but I'll
have to pay the piper.  Is this economic growth based on real things,
such as production, or just the wild schemes of M&A artists?  I think
you'll find that the stock market rose to such heights because of
uncounted hostile take overs more than a trebling of US production.
The takeover of RJR Nabisco was worth some $25 billion, along with a
$1 billion commission for the team of lawyers, brokers and
accountants, but did it produce an iota of added production?  Note
also that in 1988, the $1B fee was twice what we spent on AIDS
research that year.

You know, I've tried this "Author Kill" button in Xrn over and over, and
it just doesn't seem to work.

Perhaps a 12-gauge is in order.
