47 seperated by a distance that comes close to circling the planet when

64 on Monday, but I got to wander around colonial williamsburgh all of sunday.
65 Virginia really looks like a nice place to vacation. They have tons of
66 history. Scenic beuty, and even a theme park. You could easily spend a week

137 I probably owe an apology to any/everybody for some of the (truly offensive)
138 stuff I've posted on here at times. I don't even (re)read most of it myself,
139 which IS the reason I, myself, don't read BackWater anymore and the reason
140 I don't respond to what anybody else has to say. I AM truly shocked by the
141 death of Walter Hathaway and I've been "told" there is a comment on here that
142 I'm probably happy now that Evil Walt is gone. If I'da known Walt had been
143 sick for the last year I might have limited my comments more to McElroy and
144 those henchmen more closely aligned to the police-state disciplinary practices
145 of the "executive branch" of the district. From the photo in the paper, I'm
146 amazed I'd never recognized how much Walt looked like Mark Alport, whose name
147 I've been trying to remember for the last month and it didn't hit me until I
148 saw the picture.

151 Stray cat, you won't bother to read this of course, but I must respond anyway.
152 It was I who made the comment about Walt. I must point out to you that it
153 is silly to say that you would have been more moderate in your criticism if
154 you had known he had been sick. Perhaps you could have attributed some of
155 his actions to his sickness, but that is all.
156
157 It seems to me that there is almost always a reason for somebody doing
158 something 'stupid' and it is rare that they do it meerly out of stupidity.
159
160 Walt did some great things during his life. He did some not so great things,
161 but who hasn't? He helped generate a tremendose positive legacy. You may
162 not believe that, but I do. And only sickness over the last few years, and
163 the states budgetary problems have been able to dim that achievment. But
164 there are others who will carry on the good work. And perhaps some day,
165 the hard work and good will will actually see the light of day again.
166
167 If that day comes, I'll know that the ignorent and petty backstabers have
168 finally been overcome. Heres to a brighter future. One we will BUILD and
169 no destroy.

402 Where have all the stories gone?
403 Long time ago....
404
405 For some reason, I have kept my original EnvironSuit story that I
406 posted nearly two years ago. I've worked on it a little, but it is
407 still very rough, and only takes about 5-7k of disk space. If I have time
408 on my birthday, and there is enough disk space, I might upload it.
409 Alas, I have been sacked with the job of writing my department's manuals-
410 a tedious, time-consuming task (much like my job). It leaves me little
411 time for improving it.
412
413 In my hiatis, what has happened? AD is one of the few that I
414 recognize, but so much has changed.
415
416 I'm planning to re-attend college, but I'm unsure about my previous
417 major in Computer Science. That, and my mathematical skills only
418 rival a third-grader with dyslexia. Even the most basic algebra
419 problems seem to puzzle me; the last course I had was College Algebra
420 , along with another class in Logic.
421 I guess I'm looking for advice. I don't have much in the way of
422 monetary funds, but I should be able to go part-time in the day
423 (around 4-8 credit hours). PCC supposedly is filled to the rim
424 with EVERYONE, but it's all I can afford. Would PSU take a part-timer
425 like me? Or any other college? Reed seems like a great place, but
426 I'm not ready - and I might not be good material (Liberal Arts and
427 Computer Science don't mix well). If you have any ideas, knowledge,
428 or (best of all) previous experience, please leave me a line or
429 send Mail to 498. Thanks.

567 Measure 9 - Argument in favor
568
569 According to the book of Levitcus in the Bible, oyster-eating,
570 crossbreeding cattle, shaving a beard, wearing clothing made of
571 mixed fibers, cursing one's parents and adultery are just as
572 immoral as homosexuality. If the OCA's "No Special Rights"
573 Committee wants to take one of the 3000 year old laws of ritual
574 holiness from Levitcus and put it into the Bill of Rights in the
575 state constitution, they should be sincere enough to put all the
576 rest of Levitcus into the constitution as well. It's a simple
577 matter of respect for these historic laws to treat them
578 consistently.
579
580 We at the Special Righteousness Committee are just as offended by
581 oyster-eating, shaving and mixed fibers as the OCA is offended by
582 homosexuality, and we have just as much right as the OCA does to
583 change the state constitution to require government
584 discrimination against people whose behavior we don't like.
585
586 My friends, do you want the public schools teaching your children
587 that shaving is a legitimate and equal alternative style to a
588 normal and healthy beard? Would you want to be forced to hire an
589 oyster-eater to direct your church choir? Adam and Eve wore fig
590 leaves - 100% fig leaves - and this is divine proof that those
591 disgustingly unnatural cotton/polyester blends are sinful.
592
593 And when the OCA was analyzing the threat to traditional family
594 values, we don't know how they managed to overlook adultery! Why,
595 there's a lot more adultery than homosexuality going on out
596 there, and extrapolations from OCA statistics show that 90
597 percent of the people who have engaged in sexual perversions are
598 heterosexual ("straight").
599
600 The state condones adultery by not punishing with death as
601 required by Levitcus. It promotes oyster-eating by licensing
602 seafood restaurants, and it allows people to take mixed fibers
603 out of the closet and to flaunt them right out in public without
604 being fired or evicted! The state is encouraging sin!
605
606 If the OCA can have the special right to make their personal
607 moral agenda into public policy, then anyone else also should be
608 able to amend the state Bill of Rights to eliminate basic human
609 rights for people who they don't like.
610
611 Let's put ALL of Levitcus into the constitution! A "yes" vote is
612 the first step is facilitating our militant moral agenda.

748 Barb & I have an addition to the family (My alter ego is now 5 and his sister
749 is 3). All are doing well. I am in transition. We moved to L.A. in 90' and are
750 in the process of completing our triangle by the 20th of November (barring the
751 house falling out of escrow). Much has changed here. I cannot believe the
752 sheer amount of dwellings that now scar the landscape..... But in any case
753 it is better to be here than Not!.
754 Let's plan on getting together in the not too distant future. There is much
755 to catch up on. I will be making the 935 mile jaunt to Magic Mountain on
756 Thursday (10/22) or Friday (10/23) and will be gone 5 days to a week or so.
757 If we can manage the time I will see you before I leave, If not after I get
758 back. The wizzards at GTE gave me a number that ended with XXX-5817, but
759 has been busy so far. I will keep trying. You can try the wizzards using the

785 OCA IS A FRAUD!
786
787 By now almost everyone is familiar with the OCA, or Oregon Citizens Alliance.
788 OCA made its biggest impact with the passage of "Ballot Measure 8" overturning
789 an executive order banning discrimination against homosexuals. OCA is also
790 active in the anti-abortion cause, although it can be argued that OCA is as
791 much an embarrassment for traditional anti-abortion groups as anything else.
792
793 Other than its opposition to homosexuality and abortion, does OCA really stand
794 for anything? Let's look and see. The Oregon Citizens Alliance 'Statement of
795 Principles; states (see "The Oregon Alliance", August 1989):
796
797 We believe that the form of government established
798 by the Constitution needs no revision. We also
799 believe that the Constitution should be read,
800 interpreted and taught according to the original
801 construction and intent of the founders. ...
802 Discrimination based on race, religion, or
803 national origin, or arbitrary discrimination based
804 on gender is indefensible. Such discrimination
805 should be prohibited by law. ...
806 We believe that the goal of American civil rights
807 policy should be a race-unconscious society.
808
809 One question: just what degree of deceit, deception, and contempt for
810 historical truth is required in order to write the contradictory statements
811 above into a set of "principles?" The framers of the Constitution obviously
812 did discriminate, and intended to discriminate, on both race and gender, and
813 they even discriminated on national origin in that a naturalized citizen of
814 the United States could not be President. As to a "civil rights policy"
815 leading to a "race-unconscious soceity" - one may confidently state that the
816 framers would now be rolling in their graves. It is also relevant to mention
817 that the original (1857) Constitution of Oregon was even more explicit on
818 the race issue. For example, Article 2, Section 6 stated that "No Negro,
819 Chinaman, or Mulatto shall have the right of suffrage."
820
821 Another example of the OCA contradicting the original intent of the founders
822 of our country is their statement about Presidential candidate Pat Buchanan
823 (The Oregon Alliance, December 1991):
824
825 When asked on what issues OCA differed with
826 Buchanan, [OCA Chairman Lon Mabon] cited two
827 examples, "While we don't believe that Buchanan
828 is anti-Israel, he is not considered a great ally
829 of Israel. On the other hand, OCA is strongly
830 pro-Israel, and not quite as isolationistic as
831 Buchanan."
832
833 In spite of warnings by our founders to stay clear of foreign entaglements,
834 OCA is judging a candidate by how closely he aligns himself with a foreign
835 state. Also, while most of our nation's founders were Christian, OCA is
836 apparently not a Christian organization, but rather, by its own admission,
837 Judeo-Christian. Again, from OCA's 'Statement of Principles':
838
839 Public education should have as one of its primary
840 goals the transmission and affirmation of traditional
841 American, Judeo-Christian moral and ethical values
842 to future generations. ...Judeo-Christian religious
843 values historically have had, and should continue
844 to have, an important role to play in shaping
845 American values, goals and policies.
846
847 So exactly what is this Judeo-Christian religion? Call OCA and perhaps
848 they can recommend a good Judeo-Christian church (?) in your neighborhood.
849 In any case, it seems extremely doubtful that any Judeo-Christians signed
850 either the Constitution or the Declaration of Independence.
851
852 What is the OCA really up to? OCA is led by an arrogant group of over-
853 inflated egos, who are gaining power and publicity by fraudulently playing on
854 legitimate concerns about homosexuals and abortion. Yet a particularly
855 pathetic example of OCA's tactics was its highly publicized support of
856 "hate-crime" legislation (a close relative of Orwellian "thought crime").
857 A respected conservative figurre, Cal Thomas of the now-defunct Moral
858 Majority, attacked such laws in a syndicated column, "How can we define 'hate
859 crimes'?" Thomas remarked, on President Bush's support of hate-crime
860 legislation, "If Republicans continue to mimic Democrats on moral issues,
861 they risk losing the social conservatives who have helped them hold the
862 White House." OCA's support of "hate-crime" legislation, blatantly pandering
863 to the left-wing, anti-White forces in an attempt to defuse its critics, is
864 a perfect example of the OCA's willingness to sacrifice all principles of
865 logic in an attempt to improve its publicity. Regardless of what mis-
866 interpretations you may see in the newspapers and on television, don't
867 confuse the goals of the OCA with those of any legitimate Constitutionalist
868 organizations or White-Racialist Nationalist groups. The OCA has no goals,
869 beyond the aggrandizement and enrichment of its leaders.

912 It seems to me that to ofteen the animal part of us gains dominance. And
913 what could possibly be devine about that? What is fear and hatrid after all,
914 but base emotion? And are not unreasoning fear and hatrid even closer to
915 the animal?
916
917 Do we not have the ability to reason and thus understand? Why then would
918 anyone be so foolish as to ignore these gifts? Is there anythng noble
919 in going through life with a self imposed moral labotomy?
920
921 Far better it would be if we were to glory only in those things that
922 seperate us from the unthinking animal.
923
924 Let us be seperate, but not apart. Let us understand that self deception
925 is both foolish and deadly. Let us find in ourselves the strength to
926 know whats right and do it.
927
928 Because at the end, whatever you might believe of what comes after,
929 You will become a part of the history of this world. A fragmant of the
930 collective gestalt that is everything and everyone. And some small
931 part of you will live on forever. There are many things you may aspire
932 to, but I doubt vomit is one of them.

939 Actually, I was poking fun at THEM>:-). My use of "thou, thee,
940 and thy" was screwed up. Thou is me telling them, thee & thy IS them. Should
941 have been the other way around, but I only figured that out by the
942 time I had left for work. Sorry if I have confused anyone.
943
944 Anyway, to make my previous verbage shorter, I feel that they are
945 simply seeking the power that the OCA seeks, and that they would like
946 the OCA to step aside (who wouldn't want someone's compitition to
947 be out of the way). Sure, the OCA is being untruthful with the
948 public about their intentions, but the poster I poked fun at
949 didn't seem all to truthful either.
