"If the movie [Lethal Weapon] did so much for blacks, then
why am I still out there protesting the confederate flag in
South Carolina, or blacks in prison?"
--Danny Glover.

Hi I'm Prime and if you'll let me rant a little,
then right after that'll be plenty of ATI Zine stuff
for you. Course, if you won't let me rant, there's
still plenty of phree ATI. Send any complaints
or comparisons to us here at ati@etext.org as always.
Cheers,

Boyee, George magazine is falling right into Lieberman's
trap, huh? Or verse a vice a. [sic.] I've never seen so
much pro-Tipper [tired.] stuff in one place besides her
own book!
"On the floor of the '88 DNC, she [Tipper -- who else??]
confronted the actor and activist [they must be using the
term looser'n a videotaped Rob Lowe "date."] Rob Lowe:
'why is it that the people in your community didn't get
behind my husband?'
"Lowe was equally direct: 'Well it's you frankly.'"
--an otherwise pro-tipper piece [one of at least three]
in Sept '00 George Mag.
If you ask ME, Karenna Gore SCHIFF should be president.
(Al's daughter (yes, I first noticed her because she's a
hottie! But that's not why I think she's prez material))
Why? She's NOT Tipper, and she's NOT Al, that's why!
The Prime Anarchist dream ticket for the "Zero Year."
Karenna as prez, and Winona LaDuke as Veep.
"Blow up your TV...eat a lot of peaches...try and find
Jesus on your own"
Who said that first? John Prine's the first _I_ heard.

are "boring and insipid" candidates.

Scientific studies have often proven that laughter is good for

A covert army of pro-establishment hackers has emerged dedicated to harassing,
disrupting, and intimidating on-line opponents of US and NATO-backed
"humanitarian" operations in the former Yugoslavia. Antiwar.com, a bipartisan,
libertarian-oriented Web site providing critical news and commentary for those
opposed to US military entanglements overseas, has become a digital flashpoint for
this clandestine ground war.

Do you remember when your primetime regular programming got interrupted by

To Beat The Devil: Parenting In Modern America
By Patrick Moore
Part 3 (ed note : 2 and 1 are in the last two ati's)
"Parenting In The New Economy"
You've seen the headlines: "Economy Strongest in 40 Years"...
"Unemployment Lowest In Decades"...that sort of thing. From the
way they read, you'd think we had money flowing out of our pockets.
However, there have been more layoffs and plant closings in the past
10 years than in previous history. Yet we see optimistic stories and
headlines.
My question is, WHO IS BENEFITING MOST?
Well, if you're in senior management, chances are you've done
pretty well. And, if you're a CEO, if your company closed a plant
in the US and moved the operations to Mexico or China, you've done
outstanding.
But what if you're in the Rank-And-File? Well, in all probability,
you're worse off. Even if you're doing as well as you did 10 years
ago, chances are you're having to work longer hours to keep up.
Where does this leave time for family? It doesn't.
"Well, if they weren't so obsessed with wealth they would have
time for their families", some say. "What about stay-at-home moms?
That women's lib thing really screwed up things" "What about....???"
What about it? Here's the deal.
It is a fact that most new jobs pay well below the poverty level.
And it's a truism that two incomes are needed just for essential
items. Even if a job pays decent, overtime is not an option. You
either have to "work over" or face disciplinary action. If you tell
your boss you have to take care of your kids, more than likely you'll
hear "That's not our problem."
It's no secret that so-called "pro-family" politicians have enabled
corporations to abuse, if not ignore, worker rights. Who gives a hoot
about families? Not your representative. Not your congressman. Not
your boss. So, it's up to YOU.
/^ /^ /^ /^ /^ /^ /^ /^ /^ /^ /^ /^ /^ /^ /^ /^ /^ /^ /^
How do you fight back?
Well, for one, put your priorities in order. What do you want out of
life? Which is more important, getting a big paycheck or raising a
healthy child? Don't get me wrong, big paychecks are OK. They come
in handy sometimes. But if you work over constantly, you may need to
look at changing jobs. Too much overtime can be harmful to your family
life.
I worked at a job where overtime was an ordinary thing. The 8-hour
workday was the exception rather than the rule. 12-hour days were
common. In fact, there were employees who worked MONTHS (yes, you
read right: MONTHS) without a day off. Some volunteered, to be sure,
but most were forced to come in. 70-84 hour workweeks sometimes
were standard. And, the company didn't think any better of you
afterwards either. After a while of this, my health started giving
way, and now I have permanent damage in my thoracic spine. I missed
time with my wife and son to help the company, and my reward was
permanent spinal damage.
There is a trend called "downshifting" where people leave the
high-pay, high stress job they were at and willingly take a pay
cut and work jobs where the stress is lower. And, they forsake
(or pay off) the high-priced "toys" that necessitated the extra
income.
People who downshift take a look at what is the absolute minimum
to live on. And all too frequently there's a lot that you can do
without. Don't misunderstand, if you have a black Acura Integra
with 2 more years of payments, you would do well to pay it off
first. Chances are, Acura won't understand if you voluntarily
took a job with lower pay knowing you had a payment to make
every month. And, ferkrissakes, STAY AWAY FROM PAYDAY LOAN,
CHECK CASHING, OR TITLE LOAN PLACES. Those places will put
you in far worse financial shape.
Now, you might ask, "What about the children?" Good point.
Kids today, more so than any other time in memory, are bombarded
with advertising. Nike shoes, Pepsi, Nintendo...those companies
pay a LOT of money to get their message to your child. Materialistic
attitudes make for HUGE profits. A parent who works long hours just
to finance unnecessary or trendy items is enabling a materialistic
attitude.
I grew up without Nike or Nintendo.. and I had a lot better time
without them. So can you. So can your child. How?
Take them to the library. Go on a road trip. Look at family albums.
Play music together. Spend time together!
Your child will appreciate it.

UConn Gets Hoffman Memorabilia
STORRS, Conn. (AP) [Lifted and Made Copyleft In Good Faith]
Activist Abbie Hoffman's alma mater, Brandeis University,
didn't want his dirty socks.
Neither did Clark University, which is in Hoffman's
hometown of Worcester, Mass.
Their loss is the University of Connecticut's gain. In
addition to Hoffman's socks, it got his writings, memorabilia
and police and FBI surveillance files.
The donation, given by Hoffman's brother, came just before
the release of a movie about Hoffman called "Steal This Movie."
[ref:]-[http://www.stealthismovie.com]
In 1968, Hoffman started the Yippie movement, or Youth
International Party, to bring together radicals to protest the
government and the Vietnam War.
He gained fame as one of the Chicago Seven, a group of radicals
tried on charges of conspiring to disrupt the 1968 Democratic
National Convention in Chicago.
Hoffman and four others were acquitted of conspiracy but
convicted of crossing state lines with intent to riot.
Their convictions were overturned.
Hoffman's death at 52 in 1989 was ruled a suicide.
[ed note: it's chicago 8 you racist bastards!!! I ought to point
out the irony of UConn getting this schtuff. Abbie was forever
outspoken about his "hatred" (lack of better word) for the entire
state of connecticut.]
