8,278 | I read an article about the benefits of a VLB motherboard. It said that a
true VLB board supports bus mastering, otherwise it is just as good as an ISA
motherboard.
Doesn't all VLB motherboard support bus mastering? I just bought a 486-33 VLB
and the tech manual does not explicitly state the words "local bus mastering"
but it said it "supports bus master and slave modes". Are these terms
synonymous?
Thanks. | 3 | trimmed_train |

This brings up a question I asked myself (no answer) when it was mentionned
that the NHL could expand in Europe.
Would most of the North-americans now playing in the NHL be willing
to play for a team in Europe?
I do not think that the majority of hockey players are necessarily
interested in expanding their cultural experience to that level.
(I know I would but I am not a pro hockey player)
When one recalls some players remarks in the last few years it makes
me wonder how a European expansion could be achieved. Remember these:
- Lindros did not want to play in Quebec (for more than $ reasons)
- Nicholls ... in Edmonton.
- R. Courtnall wanted to be traded to LA only.
- C. Lemieux said he would refuse to go to Edmonton earlier this year.
I know there are many non-cultural reasons behind these but there is more:
- Some american players who played for the Expos complained about the french
fact and that the city was not quite like the other US cities. One
players' wife trying to make her point went on to complain that she could
not even find her favorite brand of nacho chips in Montreal.
Anybody knows what happened when all these US football players moved
to London, Spain, etc .. for the one year of that new football league
(2 years ago?)
I wonder what the players association thinks about going to Europe.
Myself I would like to see some European teams, but what would be
the best way to do it? | 17 | trimmed_train |
5,334 | I was thinking about who on each of the teams were the MVPs, biggest
surprises, and biggest disappointments this year. Now, these are just
my observations and are admittedly lacking because I have not had an
opportunity to see all the teams the same amount. Anyway....
MVP = most valuable player to his team both in terms of points and
in terms of leadership ("can't win without him")
Biggest surprise = the player who rose above expectation -- the player
that may have raised the level of his game to a new height, even
if that new level doesn't necessarily warrant an allstar berth
(includes those players who at the outset of the season, may not
even have been in the team's plans).
Biggest disappointment = the player from whom we expected more (e.g., I
picked Denis Savard in Montreal because with the new emphasis on
offence brought by Demers, shouldn't Savard have done better?)

I think we agree on much. However the paragraphs above seem to repeat
uncritically the standard Kuhn/Lakatos/Feyerabend view of "progress" and
"rationality" in science. Since I've addressed these issues in this
newsgroup in the not too distant past, I won't go into them again now.
What is wrong with the above observation is that it explicitly gives the
impression (and you may not in fact hold this view) that the common (perhaps
even the "correct") approach for a scientist to follow is to sit around
having flights of fancy and scheming on the basis of his jealousies and
petty hatreds. It further at least implicitly advances the position that
sciences goes "forward" (and it is not clear what this means given the
context in which it occurs) by generating in a completely non-rational
and even random way a plethora of hypotheses and theories that are then
weeded out via the "critical function" of science. (Though why this critical
function should be less subject to the non-rational forces is a mystery.
If experimental design, hypotheses creation, and theory construction are
subject to jealousies and petty hatreds, then this must be equally true
of the application of any "critical function" concerning replication.
This is what leads one (ala Feyerabend) to an "anything goes" view.)
True, the generation part *can* be totally irrational. But typically it is
*not*. Anecdotes concerning instances where a hypothesis seems to have
resulted in some way from a dream or from one's political views simply
do not generalize well to the actual history of science. | 19 | trimmed_train |

It is not yours nor the governments right to tell others what they have

Is child abuse now within the jurisdiction of the department of the

unsubstantiated rumors about a violation of a law which does not

8,463 | I was planning to use the following pipe to move some display data to a system
that has a color hardcopy unit:
xwd | xwud -display hostname:0.0
I had tested it with some simple windows like the OpenWindows file manager,
and it worked fine, but when I tried it with a more complex (larger) image,
the xwd part blew up with a segmentation fault. I tried it without the pipe,
by redirecting xwd's output to a file and then used the file as input to xwud
and got the same error from xwud. If I had to guess, it seems like it's
running out of memory, but this happened on a SPARC 10 with 64 megs, 128 meg
swap space, and only one user with minimal activity. The file was about 3 MB.
This verion of xwd/xwud was supplied with the Sun OpenWindows 3.0 distribution
which I believe corresponds to X11 R4.
Any ideas? Thanks in advance.

The FBI and Koresh were calling the shots. And there were very sane reasons
for keeping the children, if they let them go, the parents would NEVER see them
again. That is not an easy choice, in spite of you cold attitude about it.
I am a constitution worshiper. You quite obviously eat anything the
authorities feed you, without doubt, which makes you no different that a Koresh
worshiper

If you do not believe this, you are truly naive. It is not only possible, it
is easy. I worked in the broadcast profession, at a network station, in the
late 70s, I know what I'm saying here. Embarrasing footage is easy to get, add
a little sinister music, and the right voice-over, and I'll have you mother
agreeing to commit you.
The news shows were looking for excerpts which backed their position. Do you
think they would show excerpts which disproved their points?
The reports of multi-starts came solely from the FBI. Anyone observing the
fire from the available video would be hard pressed to see more than one point
of fire. Which spread across the compound as a uniform rate.

No reported has ever sued the government for such a situation. They know the
dangers. Remember, the BATF invited the initial coverage. And how about a
simple, remote-controlled, camera or two? There were ways to provide media
access. The FBI obviously just didn't want any.
I can find several. Tear gas and smoke making it impossible to remove the
barricades. Flames blocking exits to the saferooms. Perhaps the gun shots were
from the FBI, keeping them pinned in? Who knows?

I think one (not ideal) solution is to use the
tracing utility (can't remember the name, sorry!)
included in the Corel Draw s/w pack. It can convert
bitmaps to Corel art format. These can then be
imported into a drawing rather than the bitmap.
Result - the file is completely in Corel format and
can be SCODAL'ed no problem!
BUT the slight problem with this, which makes the
solution less than idea, is that the trace utility
spits out many more points than are necessary to
define the shapes being traced. Straight lines and
curves are both traced as many short segments.
So... the SCODAL taking *much* longer to
image.
The obvious solution is time-consuming - stripping
out the extra points by hand using Corel.
OUCH!
I've done it a few times :-]
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
As I say, if you don't mind the problems, go via the route...

HAND TRIMMING (USING COREL)!!! ->

}I've said enough times that there is no "alternative" that should think you
}might have caught on by now. And there is no "alternative", but the point
}is, "rationality" isn't an alternative either. The problems of metaphysical
}and religious knowledge are unsolvable-- or I should say, humans cannot
}solve them.
If there is truly no alternative, then you have no basis whatsoever
for your claim. The usual line here, which you call "a prejudgment of
atheism", and dispute, is that reason is all we have. Here you admit
that you have no alternative, no possible basis for the claim that
there is anything other than reason or that reason is inapplicable in
religious knowledge, except possibly that reason conflicts with
"religious knowledge".
This sounds very much like "I can't provide a rational defense for my
belief, but prefer to discard rationality rather than accept that it
may be false". I hope it makes you happy, but your repeated and
unfounded assertions to this effect don't advance your cause. | 8 | trimmed_train |

This happened when I installed Excel and WinFax Pro v.3. They both created
their own groups but when I turned off windows and reran them, they were
gone. I had to manually pull them up as new items and put them in a
previously existing group as all new gropus disappear as soon as I turn

I would go further, and say that much of the damage to the environment
has been caused by the secular worldview, or by the humanist
worldview, and especially by the secular humanist worldview.
This is not to say that ALL secular humanists are necessarily avid
destroyers of the environment, and I am sure that there are many who
are concerned about the environment. But at the time of the
Renaissance and Ref ormation in Western Europe man became the centre,
or the focus of culture (hence "humanism"). This consciousness was
also secular, in the sense that it was concerned primarily with the
present age, r ather than the age to come. Capitalism arose at the
same time, and the power of economics became central in philosophy.
This doesn't mean that economics did not exist before, simply that it
began to dominate the conscious cultural values of Western European
society and its offshoots. This cultural shift was, in its later
stages, accompanied by industrial revolutions and the values that
justified
them.
There was a fundamental cultural shift in the meaning of "economics" -
from the Christian view of man as the economos, the steward, of
creation to the secular idea of man as the slave of economic forces
and powers. There were denominational differences among the new
worshippers of Mammon. For some the name of the deity was "the free
rein of the market mechanism", while for others it was "the
dialectical forces of history". But in both the capitalist West and
the socialist East the environment was sacrificed on the altar of
Mammon. The situation was mitigated in the West because thos e who
were concerned about the damage to the environment had more freedom to
oppose what was happening and state their case.

"Assuming"? Also: come on, Brad. If we are going to get anywhere in
this (or any) discussion, it doesn't help to bring up elements I never
addressed, *nor commented on in any way*. I made no comment on who is
"right" or who is "wrong", only that civilians ARE being used as cover
and that, having been placed "in between" the Israelis and the guerillas,
they *will* be injured as both parties continue their fight.
[The *purpose* of an army's use of military uniforms
is *to set its members apart* from the civilians so that
civilians will not be thought of by the other side as
"combatants". So, what do you think is the "meaning behind",
the intention and the effect when an "army" purposely
*does not were uniforms but goes out of its way to *look
like civilians'? *They are judging that the benefit they will
receive from this "cover" is more important that the harm
that will come to civilians.*
This is a comment on the Israeli experience and is saying
that the guerillas *do* have some responsibility in putting civilians
in "the middle" of this fight. By putting on uniforms and living apart
from civilians (barracks, etc.), the guerillas would significantly lower
the risk to civilians.
But if the guerillas do this aren't *they* putting themselves
at greater risk? Absolutely, they ask themselves "why set
ourselves apart (by wearing uniforms) when there is a ready-made
cover for us (civilians)? That makes sense from their point of
view, BUT when this cover is used, the guerillas should accept
some of the responsibility for subsequent harm to civilians.
I agree with you here. I have always thought that Israel's bombing
sortees and bombing policy is stupid, thoughtless, inhumane AND
ineffective. BUT, there is no reason that Israel should passive wait
until attackers chose to act; there is every reason to believe that
"taking the fight *to* the enemy" will do more to stop attacks.
As I said previously, Israel spent several decades "sitting passively"
on its side of a border and only acting to stop these attacks *after*
the attackers had entered Israeli territory. It didn't work very well.
The "host" Arab state did little/nothing to try and stop these attacks
from its side of the border with Israel so the number of attacks
were considerably higher, as was their physical and psychological impact
on the civilians caught in their path.
This is just another "selectively applied" statement.
The reason for this drawn-out impasse between Ababs/Palestinians and Israelis
is that NEITHER side is willing to accept the Word of the other. By your
criteria *everyone* should stay away from the negotiations.
That is precisely why the Palestinians (in their recent PISGA proposal for
the "interim" period after negotiations and leading up to full autonomy) are
demanding conditions that essentially define "autonomy" already. They DO
NOT trust that Israel will "follow through" the entire process and allow
Palestinians to reach full autonomy.
Do you understand and accept this viewpoint by the Palestinians?
If you do, then why should Israel's view of Arabs/Palestinians
be any different? Why should they trust the Arab/Palestinians' words?
Since they don't, they are VERY reluctant to give up "tangible assets
(land, control of areas) in exchange for "words". For this reason,
they are also concerned about the sorts of "guarantees" they will have
that the Arabs WILL follow through on their part of any agreement reached.
Absolutely, so are the Arabs/Palestinians asking FIRST for the
Israelis "word" in relation to any agreement? NO, what is being
demanded FIRST is LAND. When the issue is LAND, and one party
finally gets HOLD of this "land", what the "other party" does
is totally irrelevent. If I NOW have possession of this land,
your words have absolutely no power; whether Israel chooses to
keeps its word does NOT get the land back.
While the "major armaments" (those allowing people to wage "civil wars")
have been removed, the weapons needed to cross-border attacks still
remain to some extent. Rocket attacks still continue, and "commando"
raids only require a few easily concealed weapons and a refined disregard
for human life (yours of that of others). Such attacks also continue.
Bat guano. The situation you call for existed in the 1970s and attacks
were commonplace.
There is NO WAY these groups can be effectively "disarmed" UNLESS the state
is as authoritarian is Syria's. The only other way is for Lebanon to take
it upon itself to constantly patrol the entire border with Israel, essentially
mirroring Israel's border secirity on its side. It HAS TO PROVE TO ISREAL that
it is this committed to protecting Israel from attack from Lebanese territory.
That's what I said, ok? But, doesn't that mean that Syria has to "take over"
Lebanon? I don't think Israel or Lebanon would like that.
What both "sides" need is to receive something "tangible". The Arabs/
Palestinians are looking for "land" and demanding that they receive it
prior to giving anything to Israel. Israel has two problems: 1) if it
gives up real *land* it IS exposing itself to a changed geostrategic
situation (and that change doesn't help Israel's position), and 2) WHEN
it gives up this land IT NEEDS to receive something in return to
compensate for the increased risks | 6 | trimmed_train |

you absolutely need to go see a doctor. As soon as you possibly can. The
difference of a day or two can mean the difference between a short recovery
and a long, drawn-out ordeal. GO SEE A DOCTOR. Now, your garden-variety
doctor may not necessarily be familiar with this sort of injury. Generally,
any hospital with an occupational therapy clinic will offer specialists in
these kinds of problems. DON'T WAIT, THOUGH. GO SEE A DOCTOR.
The remainder of this information is paraphrased, without permission, from
a wonderful report by New Zealand's Department of Labour (Occupational
Safety and Health Service): "Occupational Overuse Syndrome. Treatment and
Rehabilitation: A Practitioner's Guide".
First, a glossary (or, fancy names for how you shouldn't have your hands):
(note: you're likely to hear these terms from doctors and keyboard vendors :)
RSI: Repetitive Strain Injury - a general term for many kinds of injuries
OOS: Occupational Overuse Syndrome -- synonym for RSI
CTD: Cumulative Trauma Disorder -- another synonym for RSI
WRULD: Work-Related Upper Limb Disorders -- yet another synonym for RSI
CTS: Carpal Tunnel Syndrome (see below)
Hyperextension: Marked bending at a joint.
Pronation: Turning the palm down.
Wrist extension: Bending the wrist up.
Supination: Turning the palm up.
Wrist flexion: Bending the wrist down.
Pinch grip: The grip used for a pencil.
Ulnar deviation: Bending the wrist towards the little finger.
Power grip: The grip used for a hammer.
Radial Deviation: Bending the wrist toward the thumb.
Abduction: Moving away from the body.
Overspanning: Opening the fingers out wide.
Now then, problems come in two main types: Local conditions and diffuse
conditions. Local problems are what you'd expect: specific muscles,
tendons, tendon sheaths, nerves, etc. being inflamed or otherwise hurt.
Diffuse conditions, often mistaken for local problems, can involve muscle
discomfort, pain, burning and/or tingling; with identifiable areas of
tenderness in muscles, although they're not necessarily "the problem."
--- Why does Occupational Overuse Syndrome occur? Here's the theory.
Normally, your muscles and tendons get blood through capillaries which
pass among the muscle fibers. When you tense a muscle, you restrict
the blood flow. By the time you're exerting 50% of your full power,
you're completely restricting your blood flow.
Without fresh blood, your muscles use stored energy until they run out,
then they switch to anaerobic (without oxygen) metabolism, which generates
nasty by-products like lactic acid, which cause pain.
Once one muscle hurts, all its neighbors tense up, perhaps to relieve the
load. This makes sense for your normal sort of injury, but it only makes
things worse with repetitive motion. More tension means less blood flow,
and the cycle continues.
Another by-product of the lack of blood flow is tingling and numbness from
your nerves. They need blood too.
Anyway, when you're typing too much, you're never really giving a change
for the blood to get back where it belongs, because your muscles never
relax enough to let the blood through. Stress, poor posture, and poor
ergonomics, only make things worse.
--- Specific injuries you may have heard of:
(note: most injuries come in two flavors: acute and chronic. Acute
injuries are severely painful and noticable. Chronic conditions have
less pronounced symptoms but are every bit as real.)
Tenosynovitis -- an inflamation of the tendon sheath. Chronic tenosynovitis
occurs when the repetitive activity is mild or intermittent: not enough to
cause acute inflamation, but enough to exceed the tendon sheath's ability
to lubricate the tendon. As a result, the tendon sheath thickens, gets
inflamed, and you've got your problem.
Tendonitis -- an inflammation of a tendon. Repeated tensing of a tendon
can cause inflamation. Eventually, the fibers of the tendon start separating,
and can even break, leaving behind debris which induces more friction, more
swelling, and more pain. "Sub-acute" tendonitis is more common, which entails
a dull ache over the wrist and forearm, some tenderness, and it gets worse
with repetitive activity.
Carpal Tunnel Syndrome -- the nerves that run through your wrist into your
fingers get trapped by the inflamed muscles around them. Symptoms include
feeling "pins and needles", tingling, numbness, and even loss of sensation.
CTS is often confused for a diffuse condition.
Adverse Mechanical Tension -- also known as 'neural tension', this is where
the nerves running down to your arm have become contracted and possibly
compressed as a result of muscle spasms in the shoulders and elsewhere.
AMT can often misdiagnosed as or associated with one of the other OOS
disorders. It is largely reversible and can be treated with physiotherapy
(brachial plexus stretches and trigger point therapy).
Others: for just about every part of your body, there's a fancy name for
a way to injure it. By now, you should be getting an idea of how OOS
conditions occur and why. Just be careful: many inexperienced doctors
misdiagnose problems as Carpal Tunnel Syndrome, when in reality, you
may have a completely different problem. Always get a second opinion
before somebody does something drastic to you (like surgery).
==4== Typing posture, ergonomics, prevention, treatment
The most important element of both prevention and recovery is to reduce
tension in the muscles and tendons. This requires learning how to relax.
If you're under a load of stress, this is doubly important. Tune out
the world and breath deep and regular. Relaxing should become a guiding
principle in your work: every three minutes take a three second break.
EVERY THREE MINUTES, TAKE A THREE SECOND BREAK. Really, do it every
three minutes. It's also helpful to work in comfortable surroundings,
calm down, and relax.
If you can't sleep, you really need to focus on this. Rest, sleep, and
relaxation are really a big deal.
There are all kinds of other treatments, of course. Drugs can reduce
inflamation and pain. Custom-molded splints can forcefully prevent bad
posture. Surgery can fix some problems. Exercise can help strengthen
your muscles. Regular stretching can help prevent injury. Good posture
and a good ergonomic workspace promote reduced tension. Ice or hot-cold
contrast baths also reduce swelling. Only your doctor can say what's best
for you.
--- Posture -- here are some basic guidelines. [I so liked the way this was
written in the New Zealand book that I'm lifting it almost verbatim from
Appendix 10. -- dwallach]
. Let your shoulders relax.
. Let your elbows swing free.
. Keep your wrists straight.
. Pull your chin in to look down - don't flop your head forward.
. Keep the hollow in the base of your spine.
. Try leaning back in the chair.
. Don't slouch or slump forward.
. Alter your posture from time to time.
. Every 20 minutes, get up and bend your spine backward.
Set the seat height, first. Your feet should be flat on the floor. There
should be no undue pressure on the underside of your thighs near the knees,
and your thighs should not slope too much.
Now, draw yourself up to your desk and see that its height is comfortable
to work at. If you are short, this may be impossible. The beest remedy
is to raise the seat height and prevent your legs from dangling by using a
footrest.
Now, adjust the backrest height so that your buttocks fit into the space
between the backrest and the seat pan. The backrest should support you in
the hollow of your back, so adjust its tilt to give firm support in this
area.
If you operate a keyboard, you will be able to spend more time leaning
back, so experiment with a chair with a taller backrest, if available.
[Now, I diverge a little from the text]
A good chair makes a big difference. If you don't like your chair, go
find a better one. You really want adjustments for height, back angle,
back height, and maybe even seat tilt. Most arm rests seem to get in
the way, although some more expensive chairs have height adjustable arm
rests which you can also rotate out of the way. You should find a good
store and play with all these chairs -- pick one that's right for you.
In the San Francisco Bay Area, I highly recommend "Just Chairs." The
name says it all.
--- Keyboard drawers, wrist pads, and keyboard replacements:
There is a fair amount of controvery on how to get this right. For some
people, wrist pads seem to work wonders. However, with good posture, you
shouldn't be resting your wrists on anything -- you would prefer your
keyboard to be "right there". If you drop your arms at your side and then
lift your hands up at the elbow, you want your keyboard under your hands
when your elbows are at about 90 degrees. Of course, you want to avoid
pronation, wrist extension, and ulnar deviation at all costs. Wrist pads
may or may not help at this. You should get somebody else to come and
look at how you work: how you sit, how you type, and how you relax. It's
often easier for somebody else to notice your hunched shoulders or
deviated hands.
Some argue that the normal, flat keyboard is antiquated and poorly
designed. A number of replacements are available, on the market, today.
Check out the accompanying typing-injury-faq/keyboards for much detail.
==5== Requests for more info
Clearly, the above information is incomplete. The typing-injury archive
is incomplete. There's always more information out there. If you'd like
to submit something, please send me mail, and I'll gladly throw it in.
If you'd like to maintain a list of products or vendors, that would be
wonderful! I'd love somebody to make a list of chair/desk vendors. I'd
love somebody to make a list of doctors. I'd love somebody to edit the
above sections, looking for places where I've obviously goofed.

I am sure you didn't miss the implication that we could have another
Richard Nixon type president in the future (perhaps not too distant
future, acutally). With that in mind, then I take it you also would
not object to the Gov coming up with a decision (not proposal - just
like Clinton Cripple is a decision, not a proposal) sprung on us to
start placing video cameras with sound in every room of your house,
which could be activated without your knowlege. They would be well
concealed so you wouldn't know the location, to prevent you from covering
the lens opening. After all, nothing you're doing would be of the
slightest interest to a government official, right? So, you surely
should not object to such a proposal...
Not the best anology, but the principle is pretty close - the ability
to eavesdrop on your activity with little or no effort, without your
knowlege, protected by entirely by "government safeguards". You can
still draw your curtains, so you can still have your privacy from everyone
else (except Big Brother)!! After all we need this for protection from
drug dealers and terrorists and other criminals (like 'enemies of the
STATE')... and you don't really have a right to "unbreakable" privacy
anyway, sort of as the press release of the Clinton Cripple DECISION
puts it...
I find it curious they use the word "unbreakable" when the term really
should be "difficult to break without proper authorization" (which the
Government most certainly has at their disposal, right? They wouldn't
want to be able to break it ILLEGALLY, would they?)... Nawww, not
"for the People" Clinton....
Can you, while my mind is on it, give us one good reason that the
algorithm should be a secret algorithm, unless this encryption scheme
either is a joke, or contains features like a 'master key' or other back
door for UNAUTHORIZED eavesdropping? If it was really even moderately
secure, and the government really meant to require the proper court
order and the keys that are in the Escrow accounts to be able to decipher
the traffic, what is the need to keep the algorithm secret? Seems I
hear rather often that if an encryption scheme requires the algorithm
to remain a secret to be effective, it is not a worthwhile scheme... is
this just idle talk, or is the Administration bullshitting everyone?
With GREAT skepticism, and many doubts on our Administrations intentions...
And WAIT!! We haven't been told the NEXT gem the Administration has in
mind for e-mail and datafile security. The press release does say that
this is part of a comprehensive thing on data security for us unprivileged
citizens. Perhaps 'subjects' would be the better term - 'citizens'
somehow does not seem appropriate... that implies a free people, 'subjects'
better fits a population who serve at the pleasure of their rulers.
One thing for certain: The government no longer regards the citizens
as their bosses anymore, but the other way around...

From the March 1993 "Aero Vision" (The newsletter for the Employees
of McDonnell Douglas Aerospace at Huntington Beach, California).
SPACE CLIPPERS LAUNCHED SUCCESSFULLY
"On Monday, March 15 at noon, Quest Aerospace Education, Inc.
launched two DC-Y Space Clippers in the mall near the cafeteria.
The first rocket was launched by Dr. Bill Gaubatz, director and
SSTO program manager, and the second by Air Force Captain Ed
Spalding, who with Staff Sgt. Don Gisburne represents Air Force
Space Command, which was requested by SDIO to assess the DC-X for
potential military operational use. Both rocket launches were
successful. The first floated to the ground between the cafeteria
and Building 11, and the second landed on the roof of the
cafeteria.
Quest's Space Clipper is the first flying model rocket of the
McDonnell Douglas DC-X. The 1/122nd semi-scale model of the
McDonnell Douglas Delta Clipper has an estimated maximum altitude
of 300 feet. The Space Clippers can be used in educational
settings to teach mathematics and science, as well as social
studies and other applications. The Space Clipper is available
either in the $35 Space Clipper outfit, which includes everything
needed for three launches, or as individual rockets for $12 each.
Both are available through hobby shops or by calling 1-800-858-
7302."

C'mon, you still haven't corrected yourself, 'wieneramus'. In April
1942, Hitler was preparing for the invasion of the Caucasus. A
number of Nazi Armenian leaders began submitting plans to German
officials in spring and summer 1942. One of them was Souren Begzadian
Paikhar, son of a former ambassador of the Armenian Republic in Baku.
Paikhar wrote a letter to Hitler, asking for German support to his
Armenian national socialist movement Hossank and suggesting the
creation of an Armenian SS formation in order
"to educate the youth of liberated Armenia according to the
spirit of the Nazi ideas."
He wanted to unite the Armenians of the already occupied territories
of the USSR in his movement and with them conquer historic Turkish
homeland. Paikhar was confined to serving the Nazis in Goebbels
Propaganda ministry as a speaker for Armenian- and French-language
radio broadcastings.[1] The Armenian-language broadcastings were
produced by yet another Nazi Armenian Viguen Chanth.[2]
[1] Patrick von zur Muhlen (Muehlen), p. 106.
[2] Enno Meyer, A. J. Berkian, 'Zwischen Rhein und Arax, 900
Jahre Deutsch-Armenische beziehungen,' (Heinz Holzberg
Verlag-Oldenburg 1988), pp. 124 and 129.
The establishment of Armenian units in the German army was favored
by General Dro (the Butcher). He played an important role in the
establishment of the Armenian 'legions' without assuming any
official position. His views were represented by his men in the
respective organs. An interesting meeting took place between Dro
and Reichsfuehrer-SS Heinrich Himmler toward the end of 1942.
Dro discussed matters of collaboration with Himmler and after
a long conversation, asked if he could visit POW camp close to
Berlin. Himmler provided Dro with his private car.[1]
A minor problem was that some of the Soviet nationals were not
'Aryans' but 'subhumans' according to the official Nazi philosophy.
As such, they were subject to German racism. However, Armenians
were the least threatened and indeed most privileged. In August
1933, Armenians had been recognized as Aryans by the Bureau of
Racial Investigation in the Ministry for Domestic Affairs.

[DG] THE U.S. HOLOCAUST MEMORIAL MUSEUM: A COSTLY AND DANGEROUS MISTAKE

[DG] HARD BY THE WASHINGTON MONUMENT, within clear view of the Jefferson

[DG] has arisen, on some of the most hallowed territory of the United States of
[DG] America, a costly and dangerous mistake. On ground where no monument yet
[DG] marks countless sacrifices and unheralded achievements of Americans of all
[DG] races and creeds in the building and defense of this nation, sits today a
[DG] massive and costly edifice, devoted above all to a contentious and false
[DG] version of the ordeal in Europe during World War II, of non-American
[DG] members of a minority, sectarian group. Now, in the deceptive guise of

[DG] campaign, financed through the unwitting largess of the American taxpayer,
[DG] in the interests of Israel and its adherents in America.

6,727 | Yes, it is possible to add a second hard drive to a mac IIcx internally. This
is definitely not a recommended procedure by Apple but I have done the equivalent to my CX after upgrading it to a Quadra 700. The power supply is still the
stock CX's and it was able to power two Quantum LPS drives, a PLI SCSI
accelerator, a Micron technologies 24 bit video board, Daystar QuickCache,
New Technologies Overdrive and 20 meg of RAM simultaneously.
I added a new mount for the drive by attaching angle brackets to the drive
tower. The internal SCSI cable was changed to a longer flat ribbon cable onto
which I added an extra connector about midway. The final HD was internally
terminated and the drive between the motherboard and final HD had its terminator resistor packs removed. Cooling has not been a problem and no SCSI problems
occur with either the PLI SCSI chain or motherboard SCSI hooked into the two

As William O. Douglas noted, "If a powerful sponsor is lacking,
individual liberty withers -- in spite of glowing opinions and
resounding constitutional phrases."
The legislative scorecard outlined below resulted from subcommittee,
committee, and floor action. Many important victories, however, come
from coordinating with legislators to ensure anti-gun/anti-hunting
legislation is either amended favorably, rejected, or never voted.
These quiet victories are no less impressive in protecting our
fundamental civil liberties guaranteed by the Second Amendment to the
U.S. Constitution.

Senate 24-10.
Wisconsin - In a referendum up against all odds, the determined
efforts of the Madison Area Citizens Against Crime paid off on April
6 when a nonbinding referendum banning the possession of handguns in
Madison, Wisconsin, was defeated. Despite opposition to the ban --
aired largely by firearms owners at a series of public meetings on
the issue -- the Common Council voted on February 17 to place the
referendum on the ballot, allowing only seven weeks of campaigning to
reverse public opinion on the controversial issue.
An October 1992 poll conducted by the Wisconsin State Journal found
57% in support and 38% opposed, with 5% expressing no opinion. By
election day, of the more than 56,000 voters who went to the polls,
51% cast ballots in opposition to the proposal while 49% voted to
have the Madison Common Council enact such a ban. The campaign
committee, spearheaded by the Wisconsin Pro-Gun Movement and NRA-ILA,
relied on neighborhood canvassing, direct mail and radio/TV
advertising to educate voters on the civil liberties implications
raised by enforcement of the ban if the referendum was approved.
Despite the surprising defeat, it is expected that the Madison
initiative's chief proponent, Mayor Paul Soglin, will attempt to have
the Common Council enact an ordinance banning handguns.

motivated, and I'm saying that's wrong. I'm not saying that
each and every killing is religiously motivate, as I spelled out
in detail.
Does anyone else see the contradiction in this paragraph?
Sorry, Frank, but what I put in quotes is your own words from your

9,182 | I bought a 386DX33 system a little over 2 years ago, and was satisfied with
everything about Zeos. That computer went off to grad school with my son and
I replaced it with a 486DX2/66 pkg 4 (345 MBHD, 16MB ram) with Diamond Viper,
128K level 2 cache, and tower upgrades, delete the CTX monitor. I got a
17" HP D1193A monitor employee purchase. This is a *great* system, fast,
quiet, solidly built, not a single glitch bringing it up. Tech support seems
busier now than 2 years ago. I called with a configuration question, and
they called back 4 hours later with the right answer. I think there's a
slight premium over Gateway prices, but IMHO Zeos is worth it. BTW they
have enough 800 lines that I've never gotten a busy signal calling sales,
customer service, or tech support. Now, you usually wait 5 or 10 minutes to
talk to someone, but at least you get in the queue and wait on their dime. | 3 | trimmed_train |

76 | Okay, let's suppose that the NSA/NIST/Mykotronix Registered
Key system becomes standard and I'm able to buy such a system
from my local radio shack. Every phone comes with a built in
chip and the government has the key to every phone call.
I go and buy a phone and dutifully register the key.
What's to prevent me from swapping phones with a friend or
buying a used phone at a garage sale? Whooa. The secret registered
keys just became unsynchronized. When the government comes
to listen in, they only receive gobbledly-gook because the
secret key registered under my name isn't the right one.
That leads me to conjecture that:
1) The system isn't that secure. There are just two master keys
that work for all the phones in the country. The part about
registering your keys is just bogus.
or
2) The system is vulnerable to simple phone swapping attacks
like this. Criminals will quickly figure this out and go to
town. | 7 | trimmed_train |

Elevated levels of Glu and Asp in the blood are able to bypass the
Blood-brain barrier through the circumventricular organs (or CVO), in
particular the adeno and neurohypophysis (pituitary gland) areas. The
arcuate nucleus of the hypothalamus, and the median eminence regions
are particularly effected. CVO areas are not subject to the
blood-brain barrier. These areas control the release of gonadotropin,
which controls the release and flux of steroids governing development,
especially sexual development. Changes in adult rats, which are less
sensitive to Glu than humans, have been observed: after ingesting Glu,
on a chronic basis, cycles of several steroids are disrupted. Blood
levels of somatostatin are significantly reduced, and cyclic release
of steroids becomes flattened. | 19 | trimmed_train |

7,203 | Hello,
I remember running across an ad in the back of Mac[User|World]
a few years ago, for a Nubus board that had umpteen SIMM slots, to be
used to "recycle your old SIMMs," when you upgraded memory. I don't
remember who made this board, and I haven't seen it advertised in
any of the latest Mac magazines. It mentioned that it included software
to make the SIMMs on the board act like a RAM disk. As someone who has SIMMS
he can't get rid of/use, but hates the waste, this sounds to me like a majorly
good idea. Does anyone out there know what board/company I'm talking about?
Are they still in business, or does anyone know where I can get a used one
if they are no longer made? Any help would be greatly appreciated. Please
e-mail me, to save net.bandwidth.
Thanks,

I do not know a lot about this, except from seeing one patient with
"Kartagener's syndrome", which is a form of immotile cilia syndrome
in which there is situs inversus, bronchiectasis, and chronic
infections. "Situs inversus" means that organs are on the wrong
side of the body, and can be complete or partial. It is interesting
medically because the normal location of organs is caused in part
by the "normal" rotation associated with ciliary motion, so that in
absence of this, laterality can be "random." People with situs
inversus are quite popular at medical schools, because of their
rarity, and the fact that most doctors get a bit upset when they
can't find the patient's heart sounds (because they're on the wrong
side).
According to Harrison's, immotile cilia syndrom is an autosomal
recessive, which should imply that on average one child in four
in a family would be affected. But there may be much more current
information on this, and as usual in medicine, we may be talking
about more than one conditiion. I would suggest that you ask your
pediatrician about contacting a medical geneticics specialist, of
which there is probably one at NCSU. | 19 | trimmed_train |

No. The issue is reducing crime, not guns. If gun control doesn't
lower crime overall, then is doesn't address the issue.
Does that matter if assaults with a baseball bat become much
more common? Muggers using a gun rely primarily on the
threat of the gun, and rarely shoot their victim. A mugger
using a knife is much more likely to start by stabbing his victim
in an effort incapacitate him. So, while a knif may not
be as deadly as a gun, criminals are more likely to actually
_use_ the knife (as opposed to threatening the victim with it.)
It isn't at all clear that replacing the criminal's gun with a
knife would reduce murders. Stabbings might just become more
common. That's why it is important to look at the overall
(not the with-gun) homicide rate. It avoids the issue of
substitution, different criminal techinques of using different
weapons, etc... and measures what we want to prevent: Murders.
"Face"? Possibly. However, facing knife-welding attackers isn't
too common: Stabbing without warning and by supprise is the
usual tactic. Very few criminals shoot from cover: It attracts
to much attention and they don't have a chance to go through your
pockets. Overall, I'd much rather be threatened with a gun
than actually stabbed with a knife.
Actually, the exact same statement is true of guns: Training in
unarmed self-defence will let you disarm an untrained gunman
without much problem.
You also ignore the criminal's reaction: The National Crime
Survey clearly shows that criminals (unarmed, armed with a
knife, gun or whatever) are unwilling to risk their lives
in a confrontation. If faced with a serious threat, almost
all prefer to leave and find an easier target. Therefore,
using (or threatening to use, as is much more commonly the case)
a weapon _is_ the best defence against an attacker, regardless
of how he is armed. Knives, however, are much less effective
than guns: Criminals don't consider knifes as a "serious threat"
nearly as often as they do guns. | 9 | trimmed_train |

I think this is a weak argument. The fact is, there are *two* references to
Jesus in _Antiquities of the Jews_, one of which has unquestionably at least
been altered by Christians. Origen wrote, in the third century, that
Josephus did not recognize Jesus as the Messiah, while the long passage
says the opposite. There is an Arabic manuscript of _Antiquities of the
Jews_ which contains a version of the passage which is much less gung-ho
for Jesus and may be authentic.
There is no question that Origen, in the third century, saw a reference
to Jesus in Josephus. There are no manuscripts of _Antiquities_ which
lack the references.
It is possible that it was fabricated out of whole cloth and inserted, but
I don't think it's very likely--nor do I think there is a consensus in
the scholarly community that this is the case. (I know G.A. Wells takes
this position, but that's because he takes the very small minority view
that Jesus never existed. And he is a professor of German, not of
biblical history or New Testament or anything directly relevant to
the historicity of Jesus.) | 15 | trimmed_train |

210 | To what follows, our moderator has already answered the charge of
arrogance more ably that I could have done so, so I will confine
myself to answering the charge of illogic.
This is how everyone in the western intellectual tradition is, or was,
taught to think. It is the fundamental premis "A is not not-A". If a thing
is true then its converse is necessarilly false. Without this basic
asumption theology and science as we know them are alike impossible. We
should distinguish the strong and weak meanings of the word "believe",
however. The weak sense means I am not sure. "I believe Tom went to
the library." (but he could have gone to the track). The strong sense
means I am so certain that I use it as a basis of thought. "I believe
that nature operates according to certain fundamental laws." (despite
the fact that nature *appears* capricious and unpredictable). Christian
belief is of the strong kind. (Though Christians may well hold beliefs
of the weak kind on any number of theological and ecclesiological
topics.)
Note that these are two separate ideas. Most hold the first view, but the
majority do not hold the second. Is is again a matter of pure logic that
if Christanity is true, then Hinduism (for example) must necessarilly be
false, insofar as it contradicts or is incompatible with, Christaianity.
(And, as a matter of *logic*, vice versa.)
It is arrogant to claim to know what *anyone* thinks or wants, unless
they have told you. Christians believe God has told us what he thinks
and wants.
Most Christians do not base their belief on the Bible, but on the living
tradition of the Church established by Christ and guided constantly
by the Holy Spirit. The Bible is simply the written core of that tradition.
If depends what you mean by differing. If I believe Tom is six feet
tall and you believe he weighs 200 pounds, our beliefs differ, but we
may both be right. If I believe Tom is six feet tall and you beleive
that he is four foot nine, one of us, at least, must be wrong.
Thus you believe that there is a single truth but that no human being
can find it. You assert that anyone who believe that we can find
absolute truth is mistaken. In short, you believe that anyone who
does not share your belief on this point is wrong. QED.
Here I begin to suspect that your real difficulty is not with the
knowability of truth, but simply with language. Saying that the glass
is half empty is not a contradiction of the statement that it is half
full: it is the same fact expressed in different words. (The whole
point of this phrase is to illustrate the different ways the pessimist
and the optimist express the *same* fact.)
It is, of course, quite true that different people may express the
same belief in different words. It is also true that they may fail
to understand each other's words as expressions of the same belief
and may argue bitterly and believe that they are miles apart. Great
scisms have occurred in just this way, and much ecumenical work has
been done simply in resolving differences in language which conceal
agreement in belief. This does not mean, in any sense, that all beliefs
are equally valid. Since some of the beliefs people hold contradict
some other beliefs that other people hold, after all obfuscations
of language and culture in the expression of those beliefs have
been stripped away, some of the beliefs that some people hold must,
**necessarilly** be false, and it is neither arrogant nor illogical
to say so. If I believe X and you believe Y we may both be correct,
but if Y is equivalent to not-X then one of us is wrong and as long
as we hold our respective beliefs, we must each regard the other
as in error. | 0 | trimmed_train |
5,595 | I'm looking for a Cache card for my IIsi. I can spend $250 Max for it,
what i need is 64 kb cache with a fpu socket and a dual slot adapter.
Or at least a passe_through connector so i can keep my graphic card.
I need your advice about the best card i can buy. How much performance
increase i should expect, does the performance increase between the
32 and 64 kb Cache worths the price difference ?. And what's the best
price i can get for such a card (i really need to spare each possible
$).
I have an Ethernet card for the LC with fpu. I don't think it would
work for the IIsi but the fpu is socketed. Do you think i can take the
fpu out of the card and put it in the empty fpu socket ?. Would it work
at 20 Mhz ?. If not, how much should i pay for an extra fpu ?.

There's a pretty good article in the the March 6, 1993 New Scientist titled
"Pouring cold water on Lorenzo's oil". The article states that research
has shown that the oil has no discernable effect on the progression of the
disease in patients in which demyelination has begun. In patients with
AMN (a less acute form of the same disease) there is some improvement
seen in the ability of nerve fibres to conduct impulses. In ALD patients
who have not yet begun demyelination, the jury is still out. | 19 | trimmed_train |

That is to say, Clipper "raises the bar" on insecure channels. It doesn't
make them secure, by any means, but a wall, even if the FBI can get a master

There are definitely quite a few horrible deaths as the result of both
atheists AND theists. I'm sure Bobby can list quite a few for the atheist
side but fails to recognize that the theists are equally proficient at
genocide. Perhaps, since I'm a bit weak on history, somone here would like
to give a list of wars caused/led by theists? I can think of a few (Hitler
claimed to be a Christian for example) but a more complete list would
probably be more effective in showing Bobby just how absurd his statement
is.
On a side note, I notice you always sign your posts "Peace". Perhaps you
should take your own advice and leave the atheists in peace with their
beliefs?

7,361 | Heres a story of a Saint that people might like to read. I got it from
a The Morning Star, and am posting it with the permission of the
editor.
Saint Aloysius Gonzaga
The Patron of Youth
The marquis Gonzaga had high aspirations for his son, the Prince
Gonzage. He wanted him to become a famous, brave and honoured
soldier. After all, he must carry on the great family name of
Gonzaga. Of course, he was to become far more famous, brave and
honoured than his father could ever have imagined; though not in
the manner expected.
Saint Aloysius' mother was a woman who received immense joy from
praying to God and meditating on the divine mysteries and the
life of Our Lord. She had little time for the pleasures of this
life. As Saint Aloysius grew, he began to resemble his mother
more than his father.
Saint Aloysius had learned numerous expressions from his father's
soldiers, but the moment he discovered that they were vulgar, he
fainted from shock. This shows his immense hatred of sin (What an
example for us of the contempt we must have for sin).
About the time of his First Holy Communion (which he received
from the Archbishop of Milan, Charles Borromeo, whom himself
became a great Saint), he con-secrated his purity to God and
asked the Blessed Virgin to protect his innocence for life.
He wanted to share Our Lord's suffering to show his reciprocal
love. He started by denying his passions; he avoided eating the
finest foods, wearing the best clothes, and would put pieces of
wood in his bed in order to mortify himself for the love of God.
While he was in his early teens his father sent him (and his
younger brother) to the court of the Spanish King, Phillip 11.
Obediently, he set out to make the best of it. He mixed in well
with the people of the royal court, for he was handsome, polite,
intelligent and always had something interesting to say.
Not long before this time, the great soldier-saint, Saint Igna-
tius of Loyola, had founded the Society of Jesus (the Jesuits)
towards which Saint Aloysius
-12-
began to have a yearning. When he finally told his father, the
marquis flew into a rage and forbade his son to become a priest.
After a short time, his father sent him to the great cities in
order that he be tempted away from the priesthood, but even
through these trials, Saint Aloysius grew in his desire for the
religious life and was strengthened in the virtue of purity.
The Marquis' plans were obviously failing, so he con-fronted his
son: "Will you or will you not obey me and forget this foolish-
ness?" "I will not, father," was the in-evitable reply. "Then
leave from my sight and don't return until you change your mind!"
With tears clouding his eyes, the Saint left the room to pray:
"Tell me Lord, what am I to do? Tell me! Tell me!" He knelt down
to flagellate himself as he had done several times before, but
this time he was seen. The onlooker rushed to the marquis. This
at last brought the proud man to his senses. "The Lord wants him,
the Lord can have him." He gave his consent for his son to become
a Jesuit.
After some years (at the end of the sixteenth century), a terri-
ble epidemic broke out in Rome. All the hospitals were full and
could house no more, so the Jesuits opened their own. Saint Aloy-
sius did all he could in the hospitals, particularly to prepare
the dying for a holy death.
Saint Aloysius himself contracted the plague from carrying and
nursing the sick. For three months he lay with a burning fever
and finally, on June 21st, 1591, he gave his soul to the Lord
while gazing at a crucifix.
Let us invoke Saint Aloysius as our patron and imitate him in his
humility, purity and confidence in prayer.
Saint Aloysius Gonzaga, pray for us.

Prayer is as necessary to a person consecrated to the service of
others as a sword is to a soldier

Or he was just convinced by religious fantasies of the time that he was the
Messiah, or he was just some rebel leader that an organisation of Jews built
into Godhood for the purpose off throwing of the yoke of Roman oppression,
or.......
Are the Moslem fanatics who strap bombs to their backs and driving into
Jewish embassies dying for the truth (hint: they think they are)? Were the
NAZI soldiers in WWII dying for the truth?
People die for lies all the time.
Was Hitler a liar? How about Napoleon, Mussolini, Ronald Reagan? We spend
millions of dollars a year trying to find techniques to detect lying? So the
answer is no, they wouldn't be able to tell if he was a liar if he only lied
about some things.
Why do you think he healed people, because the Bible says so? But if God
doesn't exist (the other possibility) then the Bible is not divinely
inspired and one can't use it as a piece of evidence, as it was written by
unbiased observers.
Were Hitler or Mussolini lunatics? How about Genghis Khan, Jim Jones...
there are thousands of examples through history of people being drawn to
lunatics.
So we obviously cannot rule out liar or lunatic not to mention all the other
possibilities not given in this triad.
Possibly self-fulfilling prophecy (ie he was aware what he should do in
order to fulfil these prophecies), possibly selective diting on behalf of
those keepers of the holy bible for a thousand years or so before the
general; public had access. possibly also that the text is written in such
riddles (like Nostradamus) that anything that happens can be twisted to fit
the words of raving fictional 'prophecy'.

In my opinion, this seems like a Bad Thing, at least on the surface.
Griffin seemed to be someone who was actually interested in getting
things done, and who was willing to look an innovative approaches to
getting things done faster, better, and cheaper. It's unclear to me
whether he will be able to do this at his new position.
Does anyone know what his new duties will be?

Ed, as usual, makes a very good point.
One time a friend of mine at Sun sent me an e-mail. He composed it using the
Sun OpenWindows 3 "mailtool" which handles (non-MIME) "attachments" and the
like.
Since I don't use "mailtool", I had to manually save it, cut & paste, and
then "uudecode" the actual attachment. What I got - after a not-inconsiderable
amount of time spent doing this - was an audio file. The original message
was over 32Kb of mail headers and uuencoded data; the resulting audio message
was a single sentence that I transcribed as a 135 character message.
If he had sent me the sentence in plain text, the e-mail would have been
around 250 bytes, and it would have taken me about 3 seconds to process it at
most. Instead, it was 32k and it took at least a minute. A complete waste of
(my) time and bandwidth, as far as I'm concerned. Sending plain text is still
the most efficient method of transmission, given the same transport mechanism.
I shudder to think what would happen if everyone started posting their Usenet
articles as audio files instead of plain text! Meltdown of the Net predicted!

7,307 | [more about the Messier-Samuelsson incident]
I agree with Rick that Ulf's cross check wasn't illegal. It was the kind
of check you see a dozen times during a game without being called. Slo-mos
sometimes have a tendency to make things look worse than they really are.
Besides, if Messier can't take the heat, he should stay out of the kitchen.
Well Matt, Mattias Timmander hasn't been playing with the MoDo elite league
team yet (just the MoDo junior team), so I predict he needs a few more years
here before he can join the B's. I saw him play in the Swedish championship
game for junior players this year, and he played very well, a physical game,
but not the kind of rough stuff that Ulfie does (I suspect you would like to
have a Ulf type-of-player on the B's team too? :)
As for Mariusz Czerkawski, he has had a *great* season for Hammarby in
division 1. He scored -if I remember correctly- 93 points this season,
and then we have to keep in mind that a 50+ point season in Sweden is
considered *very good* due to the limited number of games. Mariusz is
Djurgarden property (he was just on loan to Hammarby), so he will play
in Elitserien next season, unless the B's can get him of course.
I would say that Mariusz has to be one of the most exciting player to
watch in Swedish hockey this season.

This is REALLY STUPID nitpicking. Capitalization rules in the late 18th
century were quite different from today, and what was posted matches current
capitalization rules.
We also don't make 's' look like 'f' and other such things done in the late
seventeen hundreds.
In the original Constitution, "militia", "arms", etc. were capitalized simply
because they were nouns. This is also done currently in German. There is
no special significance to these words simply because they are capitalized.
The capitalization denotes no special emphasis.

Sorry, but it doesn't matter what _you_ think, I am a Christian, who happens to
belong to the LDS Church. [The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints].
I don't usually read t.r.m. It is truly informative to stop by, and see that there
are still people in the world like those that forced my ancestors into the deserts
of Utah, and then out of the country entirely. (My grandmother was born in Mexico,
where her family had moved to escape religious persecution in the US). I'm willing
to admit that members of other churches are Christians, if they believe in Christ and
(try to) follow his teachings, even though they have different interpretations of
the bible. And yet these other churches often go out of their way to define whether
or not I am considered to be Christian. Could someone mail me a set of rules/beliefs
that must be followed to be a Christian? Does this set of rules exclude other large
bodies of believers?
I know, this is a waste of everyone's time, this has probably been discussed N times,
etc. I guess I'm more sensitive to this 'demonization' after what went on in Texas. | 15 | trimmed_train |

I have no doubt that God hears everybody's prayers.
However, He does things His way, i.e. things will happen
only if it is His will.
Now if the question really is "Does God grant everybody's wishes ?"
then you'll get a brutal shot of reality similar to when you didn't
get that toy you wanted for Christmas. You just cannot expect

I've sent the article. In terms of the group discussion, I wanted to point
out that "non-liberal education" (head in the sand) is not the same as
"abstinence education".
We had "non-liberal education" regarding drugs when I was a kid in the 60's,
which didn't do us a lot of good. But "abstinence education" regarding
drugs has proven effective, I think.
