Supreme Indecision, Two
by
Matt Giwer (c) 1994
Now let us compare the intent and purpose of the
Constitution with the Supreme Court’s actions regarding it. The
Constitution was a specific and limited delegation of powers to
the federal government. It was those powers and none other that
were listed within the Constitution. The 10th reiterates that
intent for those who are too dull to understand those intentions.
Beyond those listed powers the government has none. The
retained rights of the people are all of the rest without need of
being listed. The retained powers and rights of the people are
simply “all the rest.”
Thus the Supreme Court has only the power to deal with those
specifically delegated powers if the law in question addresses a
delegated power. If the law does not address a delegated power
then it has only the power to declare it unconstitutional, that
is, that that law addresses a power not delegated to the federal
government.
Rather what happens is that the Supreme Court has taken the
trend to strike down laws by finding the unlisted rights
mentioned in the 10th amendment. Thus the question of the people
having a right to privacy is not relevant. What is relevant is
that the government was not delegated the power to regulate
privacy. The government was not given the power to determine
what is and is not a private matter.
The point to this distinction is that in taking upon itself
the power to determine just what the unlisted rights are it also
takes the power to define and limit them. In this manner it acts
specifically contrary to the 10th Amendment.
The problem with the courts determining our unlisted rights
is that once having done so it is easily held that if the courts
can not find such an unlisted right then it does not exist. How
one can find an unlisted right is beyond me. Further there is
the tendency to try to find every known right in some manner
force fit into the Bill of Rights. The very term Bill of Rights
is a misnomer in that it is a Bill of Prohibitions specifying
exactly what the government can not do.
As such the courts are prohibited from determining just what
those unlisted rights are or what their form might be. The
people are not obligated to formulate specific rights that are to
be excluded from the jurisdiction of the courts. Simply, if the
government is not delegated a power then the court can not
adjudicate it. The court can only find that a law addresses some
matter that was not delegated and is therefore null and void.
Argumentation such as “the court has held it has the power
to” deal with some subject or other is also void. The court can
not hold they can deal with an undelegated power or an unlisted
right. But as we have seen the country is on such a legalistic
trip that it holds the courts to be sovereign and the Supreme
Court the final arbiter without recourse. Clearly this was not
the intention of the Constitution.
Was we find in Article III, Section 2 of the Constitution
2. In all cases affecting ambassadors, other public ministers and
consuls, and those in which a State shall be a party, the Supreme
Court shall have original jurisdiction. In all the other cases
before mentioned, the Supreme Court shall have appellate
jurisdiction, both as to law and fact, with such exceptions and
under such regulations as the Congress shall make.
Noting here that Congress has the power to except matters
from the jurisdiction of the federal courts. There also the
power the make general and sweeping guidelines for the actions of
the courts. Thus it is possible to establish put into law the
specific exclusion of dealing with anything beyond the enumerated
powers.
It is further possible to ask the court to rule upon the
limits of its own powers however futile that may appear. And the
futility is the problem.
We have a government which has evolved into a usurpation of
every unlisted power and right and which works to narrow the
specific prohibitions within the Bill of Rights. And we have a
national attitude holding the findings of the Supreme Court to be
the same as stone tablets being handed down from the Mount. Yes
we may disagree profoundly with its findings but also we accept
its findings as immutable without recourse save back through the
same court system.
This is an attitude that must cease if we are to get the
government back under control. We object to aspects of the
government’s intrusion upon our lives but if the Supreme Court
holds it is somehow a delegated power without being able to quote
from the Constitution we let it stand. And since the courts are
.

Subject: HANDGUN BAN
BS> I call your attention to the New York Times, Sunday 23 Oct
BS> 94, an article “A History of Homicide Surprises the
BS> Experts”. I got it in the National Edition printed in
BS> Chicago. I haven’t read it yet, but there is a barchart
BS> “The Dips and Surges in New York City Homicide Rates”.
BS>
BS> What is interesting is an apparent surge in homicides
BS> starting about 1928 and not settling down until about 1936.
BS> By about 1933 the rate was about 50% higher than in 1927,
BS> and by 1937 it was back down to the 1927 level.
BS>
BS> Was this due to the Great Depression?
BS>
BS> The reason I bring it up is that people are always saying
BS> that if unemployment and poverty are causes of crime, why
BS> didn’t we have a hell of a lot of it in the Depression.
BS> Well it would seem we did. Nothing in comparison with
BS> today, of course.
Part of this is false history. The stock market crash was
in 1929 so the 1927 baseline is two years off to start. Next the
bank failures which caused the real unemployment problems did not
start seriously until 1931 and not in full swing until 1932 when
it went to real shit and got FDR in office. This is not to say
there was none in 1930 (after all it happened in October, 1929)
but things happened much more slowly in those days. Companies
did not plan ahead an lay off in advance to keep afloat which was
part of the problem.
At the tail end the Depression did not end until around 1939
or 1940 (take your pick) when the US became arms dealer to Europe
for WW II.
Thus the dates really coincide with not much of anything
other than approximately the right decade. I am reasonably
certain there were other decades of similar deviance for
arbitrary begin and end years. More particularly 1930 to 1940
would be a more interesting range to compare and 1931 to 1940
more accurate to my reading of history. Your reading may vary.
On the other hand, and I do not have the data at hand,
homicide was a rather uncommon crime in those days as compared to
today. If the data talks about nationwide numbers Chicago
(Capone and his problems running the Mafia there) alone could
have tilted them. Not 50% but certainly it would have made a
noticeable difference.
Today’s crime is most easily explained by the baby boom
after WW II. Crimes of interest to the statistics are most
commonly committed by young males. Yes, the actual “juvenile
delinquents” started long before the boomers were of crime age but
if you look at their “crimes” you will not be particularly
impressed. West Side Story was considered a reasonable depiction
of the “worst” of juvenile delinquency in its time. Trust me, it
was, believe it or not. The complaint at the time was the old
one, that it glorified crime.
Thus when the boom was coming of crime age (16-28), funny
thing, crime increased. Another funny thing, crime has been
going down for the last 8-10 years and guess when the “boom”
ended? Take the years for first born to last born boomer being
about ten years and you have a period of 22 years more or less.
And since we are talking roughly mid 60s to mid 80s we have a
fair correlation.
We have a residual problem with very young kids having
become part of violent crime but then anyone who has even a
nodding acquaintance with the works of Dickens will hardly
consider this a uniquely American problem. Being a pickpocket,
Oliver Twist, may not have been murder but it was a capital
offense.

To quote from what I posted
=====
I have two pictures of Herman Easter one from mid 1993 and
the other from 20 October 1993. The earliest is smiling and
could have any time in his past. The latter is of him speaking
before an eighth grade class at St. Mary’s Episcopal Day School.
I assure you he shows no signs of any disease or illness.
=====
I do not know how I could have stated it more clearly.
SG> MG> Note he has not the slightest sign of any disease. Note
SG> MG> that some time in the three years between 1990 and 1993 he
SG> MG> went on welfare, i.e. ceased productive work.
SG> Maybe, he didn’t have a choice?
One has to apply and without any disease, only HIV+, that
means exactly what I said it means.
SG> MG> This is what I said. A perfectly health working
SG> MG> volunteer gets all welfare and medical benefits the federal
SG> MG> and state programs allow simply by showing up and saying
SG> MG> HIV+.
SG> Because someone appears to be “perfectly healthy” doesn’t

SG> the disease that he has.
SG>
SG> It also seems to me, that this guy is helping to prevent
SG> others from getting this disease, and there-for preventing
SG> others from having to get welfare.
Try reading what I write next time. If you need a Xerox of
the article let me know and I will give you an address to send
an SASE.
SG> MG> A 93 year old woman barely able to take care of herself

Seems to me you did no read what was reported in the press.
However, if you have contacted her and determined your
assumptions are correct, please so state.
SG> MG> Is there any wonder why we are reading that young gays
SG> MG> are not using any form of protection?
SG> Didn’t Herman get AIDS from needle sharing?
I agree, that was his claim.

Subject: A MINOR ANALYSIS
Although denial he died is hardly something any religion
would establish, there are other problems.
Any religion that denies god has sperm is a false religion.
I will grant there are uterine hormonal problems that can turn a
female fetus into a sexually dysfunctional male but that is not a
true male. One then has to speculate as to what genetic code was
used for the sperm.
On one hand we have the most likely possibility, that it was
the sperm of god as he is called the son of god. It is therefore
most likely the god who was his father is the god of Genesis who
was only different from humans in that he had the knowledge of
good and evil and the he lived forever — as anyone who reads
Genesis will learn.
The least likely case is that he created at least one male
sperm and mated that with Mary’s egg. This of course begs the
question as to what characteristics did he include in the genetic
code of that sperm. This however would not make him the son of
god in a physical sense but rather in a spiritual sense.
This second possibility is most troubling. It means that
Jesus was in fact god who created either
a) a genetically deficient fetus that was incapable of
consciousness
or
b) the consciousness of the fetus was destroyed so that the
body could be occupied by god
or
c) there were the original consciousness and god in the
mind at the same time and the original and natural one suppressed
until death.
a) contradicts any concepts of perfection and in fact the
fetus was ipso facto not human.
b) is certainly a power of a god but also the murder of an
innocent.
c) is a case where a soul was never given its “test” upon
this earth and thus was forever prohibited from entering heaven
but such a life would certainly have driven it mad in any event.
Given the consequences of the second possibility it appears
most reasonable and in concert with Genesis that the god he was
the son of is in fact the one that only differs from humans at
the moment in that it lives forever.
Rising again presents problems along with these
possibilities. The first offers the least problems while the
second has an imperfect body or a stolen body living in heaven.
With the 2nd possibility it asks whether the native soul for the
body also rose again and experience the post resurrection events.
Again the human form of the god of Genesis and the prophets
and of Moses and the father of Jesus appears the most likely.

Subject: CAN STATES SECEDE? 01
Is Secession from the United States Permitted?
by
Matt Giwer (c) 1994 <11/1>
The common consensus, the majority if you will, hold there
is no right for any state to secede from the United States. Were
the majority ever right upon anything there might be some
position for the majority thinking. But, as in the Civil War, it
was no different majority rule or rather victor’s justice.
When one looks to see if something is permitted or not, one
looks for previous examples and the closer the match to the issue
at hand the better. Thus we consider the post Revolutionary War
colonies and the Articles of Confederation.
Two years before the end of the Revolutionary War the 1781
Continental Congress adopted the Articles of Confederation. Four
times the Articles stated it would exist in perpetuity it lasted
only eight years from 1781 to 1789.
But in ending in 1789 it required the states to withdraw
from the binding, perpetual agreement of the Articles of
Confederation. There was no objection, no war, no animosity save
perhaps at town meetings at local public houses. Contrast this
to the Civil war.
The Constitution of the United States is silent upon how
long it would be in effect. The only implication of a time limit
was to prohibit amendments that would effect the slavery question
until 1808. There is a statement of the requirements for the
Constitution to be ratified but not that upon ratification it
would be binding upon all of the states, rather only that it
would come into effect. It in no manner abolished the Articles
of Confederation nor the alliance formed by it.
Further, there was the inclusion of the 10th Amendment
specifically reserving to the states and the people the
undelegated powers to the states and the people. It would appear
since secession was not mentioned that it was a power reserved
to the states as the ratification of the Constitution was by the
states rather than to the people by popular referendum.
So what was the difference? The Confederate States fired upon
the federal Ft. Sumpter in South Carolina, the first state to
secede. What is rarely mentioned is that secession began four
months earlier and had a functioning government for three months
prior to Ft. Sumpter. It was only after the shooting started
that Lincoln ordered the blockade of southern ports and the
raising of an army and when that happened four additional states
including Virginia seceded to complete the Confederacy.
The constitutional authority to respond with force comes
from the Article III. Section 3. definition of treason that of
“levying war against them.” Had that been avoided there would
have been no basis for a military response to the creation of the
Confederacy.
It is clear that both the ratification of the US
Constitution and the formation of the Confederacy followed the
essentially the same paths save for the initiation of
hostilities. Thus we have the “secession rights” decision having
been “settled” by military force.
But to take it one step further, the victors held it was not
a war of secession at all but rather a civil war within the
nation rather than the Confederate holding that it was a war
between the states. The distinction is simply that the north did
not recognize secession in the first place although it did
nothing to respond to the secession and the formation of a new
government until after the initiation of hostilities.
It would at first appear that any state(s) has the reserved
power of secession if the state simply avoids initiating
hostilities. Even federal laws clearly hold that for the federal
government to interfere within a state that it must be at the
request of the state. The only constitutional pretext for
intervention is to preserve a republican form of government

There exists only one annoying precedent in this matter, the
intervention of federal troops into the desegregation issue in
Alabama without the request of the governor who was in fact
leading the issue. This would be under the doctrine of
protection of the rights of the people under the 14th amendment.
It would appear that in secession a state must also avoid denying
the citizens of the state the benefits deriving from the Federal
government.
This would appear to apply to not stopping social security
payments and the like but there appears a great silence on
whether the citizens of the state(s) in secession would be
required to pay for such benefits. It does not appear this would
be sufficient for the federal government initiate hostilities.
Hostilities would obviously consist of taking over the
mechanism of the government of the state but that would be

Subject: PROP 187 G.F. WILL 01
Court worsened burden of illegal immigration
by George F. Will
WASHINGTON – Justice William Brennan, asked if he regretted any
decision he rendered during his 34 years on the Supreme Court,
replied, “Hell no, I never thought that I was wrong.” And he
always ways thought he had a right to impose social policies he
considered right. Today’s national debate about California’s
Proposition 187, which would deny free public education and some
other non-emergency public services to illegal Immigrants, arises
from damage done by Brennan’s, and the court’s, hubris.
In 1982 the court narrowly (5-4) over turned a Texas statute
denying free public educatIon to illegal immigrants. The majority
opinion, wrItten by Brennan and joined by Marshall, Powell,
Blackmun and Stevens, extended the 14th Amendment’s guarantee of
“equal protection of the laws” to people seeking entitlements
from a state In which their presence was illegal.
Brennan argued that Texas’ statute was unfair because
Illegal immigrant minors are not responsible for where they are,
that the law was bad social policy because it might produce an
underclass, and that therefore the law was unconstitutional. This
is the familiar non sequitur by which imperial judges turn courts
into legislatures: whatever the judges deem unfair or unwise must
be unconstitutional.
Chief Justice Burger, dissenting and joined by White,
Rehnquist and O’Connor, noted that “the court makes no attempt to
disguise the fact that it is acting to make up for Congress’ lack
of ‘effective leadership'” regarding immigration. The court, he
said, was yet again attempting “speedy and wholesale formulation
of ‘remedies’ for the failures – or simply the laggard pace – of
the political processes of our system of government.”
Brennan did acknowledge that “courts must be attentive to
congressional policy… [which] might well affect the state’s
prerogatives to afford differential treatment to a particular
class of aliens.” But he was inattentive. By 1982 Congress had
made its thinking clear through laws barring illegal aliens from
Supplemental Security Income and Aid to Families with Dependent
Children. In 1986, Congress did the same regarding nonemergency
Medicaid services.
In 1990 Congress created “Temporary Protected Status” for
legal or illegal aliens unable to return home because of
circumstances such as civil disorder. Congress doing something
like what PropositIon 187 would do, said people with this status
are ineligible for most federal benefits. And this year, in
providing disaster relief for California, Congress excluded
illegal aliens from almost all benefits.
The 1982 decision was part of a pattern of judicial
usurpations of state and local responsibilities. These
usurpations have involved courts supplanting democratic
institutions in formulating policies concerning pornography,
capital punishment, administration of prisons and mental health
facilities and public housing, abortion, school financing,
Christmas displays and many other matters. Yet critics of
Proposition 187, which is designed to force the Supreme Court to
reconsider Its 1982 usurpation regarding policy toward illegal
immigrants, seem scandalized that Californians are trying to
reclaim a right of self-determination.
Critics who denounce Proposition 187 as “immigrant bashing”
miss a point that evidently is not missed by the approximately 50
percent of California’s Hispanics who support it: Proposition
187 concerns not what national immigration policy should be, but
what state policy should be regarding violators of whatever the
national law Is.
Critics of Proposition 187 say, correctly, that government
by initiative undermines representative government, under which
the people do not decide issues; they decide who shall decide.
However, many critics of Proposition 187 are unoffended by
another subvention of representative government: judicial
policy-making. There probably would be no Proposition 187 If
elected officials, in Washington and Sacramento, had not been
corrupted by the culture of judicial activism and been delighted,
as the political class often is, to allow a court to take custody
of an inconvenient problem.
When Brennan discovered a new sweep for the 14th Amendment,
the amendment was 114 years old. When it was ratified, and for

Information superhighway crawling with sex creeps
by
MIKE ROYKO
The home computer industry is booming. And a female friend who
has spent time on the information superhighway believes she has
discovered a reason for its sudden popularity.
“Based on my experience and those of some friends,” she said,
“the computer world appeals to a significant segment of the male
population. They are the creeps. Or maybe in the computer
world, they should be called ‘cybercreeps,’ ”
The cybercreep, as she described him, is a person who uses
his computer and phone to connect to commercial on-line message
services or the vast Internet.
Then he hides behind a phony name – “his handle” – and says
things that would – probably get him punched In the face or or
arrested if he said them to someone in a public place.
He Is a high-tech version of a flasher or a telephone
breather – the Chester the Molester of the l990s.
“I’m used to it now,” says Patricia, the cybercreep expert.
“But when it first start ed happening, I thought: ‘Wow, this is
sort of like the Tailhook thing without the pinch marks.’
“As soon as they spot the handle of a woman, it starts. The
other night I got a message that said: ‘Hi, babe, want to talk
about sex, straight, oral, whatever you like?’
“In my entire life, I’ve never run into anyone in a bar or
anyplace else who has introduced himself that way.”
Of course not. If a stranger walked into a neighborhood
tavern and went up to the nearest female and said: “Hi, babe,
want to talk about sex, straight, oral, whatever you like?” it’s
possible that those men of the noncreep persuasion might react
chivalrously by knocking him down and jumping on his chest.
But while sitting in the privacy of his home, the cybercreep
can send off any message that emerges from the woolly
caterpillars nesting in his brain.
“I had one guy send me a message asking if I had any
clothes on,” Patricia said. “He wrote: ‘I don’t. Want me to
describe myself? You’ll be impressed.'”
“I believed him. Not about being impressed, but about
sitting there naked. I could lust see him, some lonely guy with
no chin and a flabby body like bread dough, sitting there with
old copies of Hustler and Playmate stacked up around him.
“Or maybe he’s married and his wife went to bed and he said
he is going to stay up In his den and work on some stuff he
brought home from the office. Then he sits there looking for
someone like me so he can breathe real hard.
“Really, ask any woman who goes on line where people don’t
have to use real names. If they use a handle that indicates they
are women, the cybercreeps come out like a swarm of horny
insects.
“So If I want to go on for a serious conversation,
information, or even for fun, I use a handle that makes it sound
like I’m a man. And an old man, because if you use one that
makes you sound like you are a young guy, maybe attractive, you
might get hit on by some other young guy. It can really be a zoo
out there.”
Actually, I’m not sure if that is an entirely bad thing.
Consider that there are well over 250 million people in this
country. It Is inevitable that several million of them will be
creeps of one kind or another. Mother Nature, a prankster at
times, seems to want it that way.
It is essential for a creep to express himself. Ask any
shrink. So the computer provides those millions of creeps who are
illiterate with a relatively harmless way of expressing their
creepiness.

Subject: CRIMINAL ALIENS 01
Payment for Federal Criminals
by
Matt Giwer (c) 1994 <11/2>
Proposition 187 in California is hardly more than than a
blip in the real confrontation we are facing with the federal
government. This referendum is to end the federal government’s
forcing the states to provide state welfare benefits to people in
violation of federal law, specifically illegal aliens. As states
can not establish immigration laws nor enforce the federal laws,
the states are acting at the mandated will of the federal
government to give benefits to violators of federal law.
This is in no way different from mandating the states
provide all state benefits to federal prisoners housed within
the states. Think of the money it would save the federal
government were all federal prisoners to be put on medicaid.
Consider the savings from having their “housing” subsidized by
rent supplements. And were prisoners to give food stamps to
prisoners it would save the federal government enormous amounts
of money.
And in requiring states to give benefits to aliens in
violation of federal law the federal government is acting no
differently. It is also no different from requiring the states
to provide defense attorney’s to those indicted for federal
crimes when the trial is to be in their state. Not only that but
while we are at it, why not require the states to provide
suitable and free housing for those arrested for federal crimes
in those states?
The issue here is very clear. The states are being required
to pay people, support people, provide near eternal benefits to
people who are in direct violation of federal law. It is not as
though we are talking about drug smugglers who could simply be
arrested and put away at government expense. These are violators
who are permitted to continue to live in the country at mandated
state expense.
Of course some of them do work for a living and pay sales
tax and all the other direct and hidden taxes of the states but
then if those are mitigating factors why does it not mitigate the
sentence of those who take a few shots at the president? You and
I certainly do our best to avoid violating federal law and we do
not justify doing so by saying we pay state taxes. Yet that
“defense” has been presented on more than one news report.
This issue goes beyond California. Florida was the first
and then joined by California and Texas in suing the federal
government for the cost of supporting these violators of federal
law. It was only in late September this year that US District
Judge Edward Davis held the case could go to trial. Florida
argues forcing Florida to pay for the health and education
expenses of those in violation of federal law is the same as
“commandeering the state’s resources.” “The abdication by the
United States of its policy has unleashed a flood of undocumented
aliens upon this state, and the state has to deal with them
because they’re here.”
The best response the federal government could come up with
was, blaming the Immigration and Naturalization Service because
some illegal immigrants escape detection is akin to blaming the
police for not catching every criminal. This simply ignores the
is not of catching them but paying for those who are known to be
in violation of federal law and to whom the federal government
will do nothing much less send them back where they came from.
But does not “sending them back where they came from” sound
a bit racist? Perhaps, but a completely non-racist sounding
statement is to put them in prison for ten years or so as a
penalty for violating our immigration laws. Let those whose
hearts bleed take their choice of penalties but remember, their
children will still be sent back without parents.
There are serious reasons to accept the concept of nations
without borders worldwide and I accept them completely. What I
do not accept is the extension of the social safety net to
non-citizens. That is primarily as I am against the social
safety net in the first place but if it exists then there must be
limits to it. Without such limits we have the classic example of
migration between the states of the United States where people
will move for the best welfare benefits.
The only social benefit the US was founded upon was
opportunity not medical care — medical care the current
administration says middle class working Americans can not
afford. The US was certainly not founded upon free education in
the language of one’s parents particularly when those parents are
in criminal violation of federal law.
No matter how the heart bleeds for the children their
parents are unindicted federal felons toward whom the federal
government has taken a “catch as catch can” attitude toward
prosecuting and the penalty for being caught it deportation not

Women in Combat
by
Matt Giwer (c) 1994 <11/5>
Let us put this straight up front. I do not not like the
idea of the subject of this message, period, over, out.
With that out of the way we have to discuss what is
currently the military standard for women. That standard is 40%
of the standard for men.
NO!
I am not interested in discussing the details. I am not
interested in anything related to the matter other than war.
War takes no prisoners. War makes no distinction between
sexes. The female force is in fact 40% capable against a 100%
capable enemy. Enough said.
Why? To get women killed is the only justification I can
find. If the point of the feminist movement is to create female
heroines then I would rather have live ones than dead ones.
I frankly like my women alive and I also like them taking
care of my children and hopefully our children. Women are nice
people to have around. Enough sarcasm?
If they really are capable to the same standards as the
enemy, not to us, but the enemy then let them win their combat
kills.
But in no way send them into combat being only 40% qualified
against the enemy.
There being the point. In no way has any combat experience
been against the 40% training. Reality is always against the
100% enemy.
Is this really intended to send women to the slaughter?
If not, tell me the difference.

The sensational always gets coverage here as I am certain it
does in Canada. And if there like here all kinds of local facts
are left out even in the local coverage. When was the last time
(other than from me in this conference) that some 90+% of the
murders in DC are druggies and drug dealers settling disputes?
Does that not color matters a bit? Miami in particular is still
suffering from the Mariel crime wave plus drugs. Tampa has drugs
and a couple of the Far East mafias or at least imitators of
their ways.
Does that make a difference to your thinking? Then I would
ask the background of the people committing the above Canadian
murders. As I have said to you but certainly to enough Canadians
here, do you truly believe you personally would go on a crime
spree if guns were readily available? Of course not, although I
have not phrased it as a question. The just what segment of your
society is now committing these crimes and for what reasons?
Perhaps that botched robbery was to buy drugs OR the store
owner was dealing and skimmed. I don’t know but ending a botched
robbery in a blaze of gunfire is not the act of people who have
thought it through. It attracts attention if nothing else.
MP> MP> there was also a drive by shooting with a small calibre gun
MP> MP> in Winnipeg,
MP> MG> Again, equal to 10 in the US.
MP> Did you only have 10 drive bys in the past year ?
Probably about that many. They are sensational. They all
make the news. Folks have loved them since Capone invented them.
They make great promo leads for the evening news particularly if
more than one person is killed. But then you mentioned shooting
not killing.
MP> MG> But then we probably had less than your per capita numbers
MP> MG> in that week. Want to go further?
MP> 196 were shot in Canada by hand guns last year from what I
MP> read in a current ECONOMIST, about 1/6 the per capita rate
MP> in the US. But still too many…..
Again, I have posted the gross comparison of the US and
European countries and the “twin city” study of Vancouver /
Seattle which demonstrates the crime problem is solely
attributable to racial and ethnic minorities. As I have
demonstrated the problem is not guns. It is minorities.

IF you have been following events in the US long enough you

When you find a “substandard” gun on the market, let the gun

MP> MG> Question: Who invented the idea of product recall?
MP> There must be varying degrees of quality in guns,
The answer is, gun manufacturers.
I have no
MP> idea. But if a gun misfires a lot it would be a know fact
MP> quite soon!
Good sir. Before a gun is introduced to the market they are
shipped to gun magazines, of which we must have at least 10 large
circulation ones and I have no idea how many small ones. They
are reviewed quite carefully. Generally they are fired on the
order 1000 times, often as many as 5000 times as part of the
review.
At this point I am thinking that a proper and complete
answer to just your one sentence would require a very long
message just to address all the points that are relevant. But
let me try to keep it as short as possible.
Misfires per se are generally a problem with the cartridge
not with the gun. The more common related problem is with
automatics and that is a “fail to feed” fault. That is generally
caused by the type of cartridge used. Also when it is identified
in the reviews (as those 1000+ cartridges are always of a
sampling of the market for autos) that there is a problem with a
certain type or types of cartridge it is corrected by the
manufacturer.
And this “fix” is almost always something a local gunsmith
can do.
FURTHER, no rational person ever considers a gun to be a buy
and use thing like a car. It is standard procedure to take any
gun to the range and firing whatever is planned to use in it
before ever relying on it. It is like test driving a car by
renting the same model for a week before buying.
Further, I did one time get a bad gun from Smith & Wesson
but I did not get around to the range firing for a full year. I
took it back to the store with no receipt or anything and the
store’s gunsmith fixed it for free and billed S&W for the repair
with the comment, “it should never have left the factory like
that.”
That is the standard in the gun business. And in line with
the above there is no “mail in your warranty registration”
nonsense. Guns are warranted, period. And in case you think
there is a loophole, importers and their distributors act just
like the standards of US manufacturers. I frankly can not
imagine any gun manufacturer having any other standard.

MP> Sadly in Canada the ham has no protection. In the US the

All other businesses would do well to follow the example of
the gun industry. But then who is willing to pay the extra for
that kind of standard when the item is not intrinsically
dangerous? My Mauser HSc came with the factory test target. US
companies not not generally ship it with the gun but they all all
test fired one way or another. I some how do not think a much
more dangerous thing in any way you look at it like a car is
properly “tested” by driving it onto and off of the shipping
trailer.

It difficult to imagine going to school to solve jigsaw

That is a guess but my son managed to get most or more of my

when he was a kid there wasn’t much to take apart. For me, I
took apart anything that got in my reach like a wind up clock.
Yet, to take part of it back, (helps to at least look at the

No way. Judaism has no formal basis for an afterlife. That
was purely “non revealed” thoughts of men. Afterlives are
relatively recent, barely 2500 years old and then they were
rather dreary places, very like Philadelphia.
And if you look at the state of afterlives in 33 AD they
were really not that much better. It is clear from inspection
that the “evil” simply ceased to exist rather than were punished
save for one story that appears quite out of character for his
story telling style.
Most all the gibberish Christians spout is directly
attributable to a person who invented it and they are not
considered prophets.

Debt to the Victim
by
Matt Giwer (c) 1994 <4/22>
We have a long out of date concept in our criminal justice
system. That is there exists a debt to society. Not only is it
out of date, it was never right to begin with.
If there is a debt incurred it is to the victim of the
crime. If the government assumes a duty with regard to crime
(instead of vendetta) it is to collect that debt and make a best
effort to assure there are no future victims.
We struggle under an arbitrary notion that there must be a
one for one correlation between the crime and the punishment.
Thus we determine the various forms of murder to be the and rank
crimes under them. Next we rank the punishments for those crimes
in the same order of severity.
This leads us to a nicely philosophical system where we can
debate crime and punishment ordering for hours within our courts.
It leads to the consideration of mitigating circumstances to
raise or lower the severity of the crime and thus the punishment.
This lock step connection between crime and punishment leads only
to endless disagreement.
A practical or functional system of crime and punishment
would completely divorce the two issues. Crimes are actions we
do not wish to occur. Punishments are things that reduce those
actions.
There is one further point of importance. If the punishment
to reduce the crime exceeds our sensibilities then the law
creating that crime needs be repealed. There is no purpose to
imposing ineffective punishments.
Our present system recognizes only a debt to society and as
such it claims a right to prevent personal retribution by the
victim. Were this not the case there would be no moral
justification to preventing personal retribution, vengeance if you
will. Over time it evolved this debt into an intellectual
abstraction rather than a productive activity.
In doing so the debt aspect became an issue of mass interest
rather than personal interest. This system leads to our justice
system standing separate and apart from the norms of society.
Let us consider the death from both illness and murder of
the young and the old. For illness we will spend any money to
save an eight week old from death but we hope and eighty year old
has a statement prohibiting heroic measures. However in law the
murder of either has the same consequences and in fact evokes
similar outrage that the extremes of age were harmed.
This occurs as we have a philosophical view of crime rather
than a functional view. Certainly in both cases there is no
justification for the punishment being other than death for the
murderer. But why would me make different judgements as to the
same death from illness?
We have emotions involved. We have elevated our emotions to
a philosophy of crime and punishment to no observable benefit.
We are willing to take a rational view of medicine but not of
crime.
Had we a rational view of crime we would be looking for a
vaccine to prevent crime much as we look for a vaccine to prevent
disease. We would not be concerned with searching for better and
better methods to punish crime. Rather we would be searching for
means of prevention of crime.
It was truly a radical idea when Pasteur suggested giving
the person a minor form of the disease to prevent the disease.
It shocked the sensibilities of many. It also worked.
It shocks the sensibilities of many to consider corporal
punishment as a means of crime prevention. However, if it works
why not use it? It is better to suffer the repetition of the
crime?
And this method would also make us face a more serious
problem we have. We have many crimes that no amount of
conventional punishment will reduce such as drugs. We will have
to directly address whether it is truly worth the administration
of the effective penalty to have a reduction in the crime.
We may be faced with actually repealing some laws where the
only effective penalties are far in excess of the personal debt
incurred by the commission of the crime. It is difficult to
justify a person is harmed by selling a person a drug and if so
who was harmed most, the buyer or the seller?
Obviously the buyer was saved the immediate pain of
withdrawal while the seller was encouraged to continue in a very
dangerous occupation. But as there would no longer be a debt to
society as a functional concept it is not obvious society was a
party to any harm in this transaction. There would no longer be
the assumption of a common level of harm to all people and that
it was done to the buyer.
The harm to society essentially evaporates under this
approach save for things like terrorism and assassination.
Additionally we would no longer suffer the immorality of exacting
punishment as revenge as some god would do without regard to
preventing the crime. We would no longer have to play god.

No we didn’t. We never played the brainstorm game. We

difference …
The brainstorming process as taught was simply to bring
together a large number of people and look for new ideas
regardless of merit, applicability, whatever. The “course” went
into all kind of $400 worth of time filling details of what to
do.
Rather a serious meeting only had those with the unique

Canada cuts quota on migrants
OTTAWA — Canada said yesterday it is reducing, for the
first time in a decade, the number of immigrants it will accept
and that preference will be given to skilled workers and
businessmen.
Immigration and Citizenship Minister Sergio Marchi said the
immigration quota will be reduced to between 190,000 and 215,000
in 1995; this year’s target was 250,000.
Canada was built by European settlers but increased its flow
of immigrants threefold since 1985 by taking in increasing
numbers of Asians, particularly from Hong Kong.
Economic recession, high unemployment and a fiscal crisis
have led to more calls from conservatives to cut immigration and
stop immigrants from living off welfare.
Racist groups have become outspoken in blaming rising urban
crime on excessive immigration.
U.S. hits tanks in Kuwait exercise

Subject: THE 1994 ELECTIONS
The 1994 Election
by
Matt Giwer (c) 1994 <11/10>
It is not very hard to see what happened this election day.
President Clinton the the Democrats were given full and complete
credit for what they have accomplished. And the voters have said
they do not look what they have done.
Every Democrat was tied to President Clinton’s coattails and
the entire Congress was changed. It was not a vote against
incumbents as no incumbent Republicans lost in Congress or in the
states. It was in fact a clear statement that the Clinton and
democrat liberal accomplishments are rejected.
This is no different from Bush being rejected in 1992. Bush
promised something and he was rejected with full credit given for
what he had accomplished.
What we have here is the rather cynical attitude on both
sides that people will in fact always vote their pocketbooks. The
idea that incumbents should win in a good economy is now down the
tubes. They do not. Bush was not rejected because of the
economy, rather that he made a contract and he broke it. There
were new taxes.
Clinton made at least a dozen contracts with America and he
broke everyone of them. There are no two ways to look at it.
President William Jefferson Blythe Clinton is a lying son of a
bitch. And there is no way to hold the voters did not see that.
But there is an indication that voters are still looking for
something. The House Republican contract with America was
clearly and unquestionably something the voters also deliberately
chose. Whatever is in that contract, that combined with what
Clinton and company accomplished, was enough reason to reverse
the power in the House after forty years.
The Clinton and liberal spin on this is now that the people
still want the Clinton change despite the fact it is not what
Clinton was elected on. It is a very strange attitude for a
purportedly intelligent person to hold. It is difficult to
believe that Clinton really believes people want what he
delivered rather than what he promised in his 1992 campaign.
I do admit I am become rather tired to the point of avidly
skeptical that Clinton has some sort of high IQ. It is not as
though he has demonstrated it in any public forum. We keep
hearing that he reads ten books a day or some such thing but
there is no sign of doing that in what he says. We hear a lot of
things about this person from the White House propagandists but
we see no evidence of them being true.
And no where is this more clear than in his post election
press conference. Several times he appeared ready to break out
in tears when for the first time the press was not buying his
opening remarks. His answers were not insightful. They
addressed nothing of substance regarding the election.
Rather his remarks and answers were based upon the
electorate really wanting what he had delivered. He demonstrated
no ability to comprehend the meaning of the voting in any manner.
And this is an intelligent man? Pardon me. Everyone but Clinton
gets it.
It’s the Clinton, stupid.
Now it is granted the incumbent party generally loses seats
in an off year election. But it is also generally true that in
presidential election years he carries candidates from his party
into office so that over the four years it is generally a wash.
When Clinton won the presidential election he carried no one with
him.
Clinton was truly the last man left standing in the
primaries. The system used by the Democrats to select a
candidate means that he had to become the candidate and that had
nothing to do with being the best candidate. Once in office he
was a much in trouble with his own party as he was with the
Republicans.
No matter what he might have wanted to do personally he was
in constant conflict with his party to get it. Rather than face
down his own party he grinned away his disagreements with them.
And in so doing he and his party liberals became a single image
in the minds of the voters.
All of this taken into account the failing is in arrogance.
Knowing there would be a good economy they all bet that they
could pass anything they wanted and as long as the economy was
good they could stay in office. They were very wrong.
That arrogance of power was such that there is a good chance
the Republican majority can put amendments to the Constitutional
before the states on a balanced budget, term limits, you name it,
even prayer in schools. And in doing so the Republicans can join
with Democrat conservatives in the states to ratify them.
[n.b. Submitting amendments to the Constitution to the states
for ratification does not require Presidential concurrence.]
The only thing Conservatives need concern themselves with at
this point is a similar arrogance. They need not work with
Clinton, rather only create a majority constituency that will
agree Clinton is blocking what they wish. With that position
they need only find a winning Presidential candidate against a
near empty field for the liberals.
The message is clear. Conservatives are in. Liberals are
out.
And it means the country gets a conservative agenda for at
least the next two years. Reagan and Bush working against a
liberal Congress had the ability to appeal to the people for
support for their platform. Clinton does not have that ability.
Clinton is now simply one person in the White House and
nothing more than that. He has no control over the political
agenda as he has no venue to introduce anything in either house
that can get out of committee without Conservative approval.
For example, Clinton’s next year’s budget goes directly to the
Republican controlled House Ways and Means Committee. Perhaps
they will not declare it dead on arrival as happened to Reagan’s
budgets.
The people have rejected Clinton and everything he and his
fellow liberals have accomplished. And in so doing Clinton is
now a lame duck president for the next 27 months. He has no way
to accomplish much of anything in his favor in that time.
Worse yet, his fellow Democrats who can appear to have had a
conservative change of heart are going to spend their time
distancing themselves from him, that is not supporting him making
the Republican majority even greater. At least six of them in
the Senate will be looking at a Presidential bid and that will
require they out conservative the Conservatives. When it comes
to questionable issues or getting that 2/3rds majority for
constitutional amendments it will the be presidential candidate
wannabes who will provide it. Right or wrong even liberals are
not dumb enough to ride dead jackass.

Subject: NANCY REAGAN ON OLLIE NOR
What does Reagan know?
by
Matt Giwer (c) 1994 <10/11>
And when did she know it? Not Ronald, Nancy. The good Mrs.
Reagan has told the country that Oliver North lied to her
husband. What is her source for this knowledge?
Was it not Ronald Reagan who stated he did not talk to
North? So what conversation(s) is she referring to where North
had an opportunity to lie? What was she doing in those meetings
and just what were her background knowledge to judge what was and
was not a lie?
This certainly does not speak well of her husband’s denial
of knowledge of events. Consider the possible “lies” he could
have told. It is not imaginable he was directly asked, “Are you
dealing arms for hostages?,” without assuming there was more than
adequate knowledge of what was going on to ask a question that
specific.
Could the lies have simply been assurances that every was
legal? That is not an assertion to be made unless asked. The
answer it not one that would be taken from a Lt. Colonel without
much more senior confirmation. And if there was enough suspicion
to ask the question then there would have been an investigation
rather than a simple “are you guilty of something” inquiry.
By this defense she is indicating her husband knew much more
about what was going on than he has stated. And in the ability
to claim North was lying it could only refer to some aspect of
what was going on and not to the entire affair. Thus her
condemnation of North is in fact to condemnation of her husband
in the same breath.
She should some day learn to keep out of partisan politics.

Subject: THE 1994 ELECTION, PT. 2
Clinton and the 1994 Election
by
Matt Giwer (c) 1994 <11/10>
Clinton has had two days to think over Tuesday’s election
and he still does not get it. He is still trying to convince
himself that the vote was a vindication of his program in some
manner despite every fact about the election.
He continues to imply that he is “the middle” of politics
despite the clear election results of the loss of so many of his
compatriots in the his idea of the middle. From the most senior
down to the most junior, they were kicked out. Everyone but a
couple who was identified as clearly defending the president or
being a key part of passing his agenda is gone.
The only notable exception at this point is Ted Kennedy and
the other might become Diane Feinstein but even should the latter
manage re-election it is still so close it requires the absentee
ballots be counted. That Clinton can possibly think that the
people who were his most vocal supporters are gone. How can he
possibly take that as support for what he clearly considers his
middle?
If he truly believes that then he is delusional. If he is
still trying to spin doctor the results he needs to try a
different approach. This is making him look like a fool.
And there is little help coming from his supporters. The
trick of spin doctoring is to find a plausible alternate
explanation. Some liberal should have been able to find a spin
by now but if so none has come up with it.
It looks like they are all simply in shock; that they could
not prepare themselves for the actually occurrence of what they
and everyone knew would happen. Even the magnitude of it was
easily predictable. Either side could hope it might or might not
happen but certainly there was enough warning to work out some
sort of face saving spin in advance.
As they have no spin prepared how can they possibly hold
there is any support for Clinton style economic policies?
Without a spin how can they make a claim there is support for
health care reform? Without a basis to work from how can they
make a case for any part of the Clinton agenda?
Passage of the General Agreement on Trade and Tariffs is
part of the both the Clinton and the Republican agenda. As with
most things Clinton wanted it was not really part of the Democrat
agenda. But when it passes there is no way Clinton can take the
credit away from the Republicans.
As Clinton failed to plan for defeat he is now totally
defeated. He has at most whatever fraction of his 43%
constituency that it left. That is the best he can ask to call
their Congressmen as Reagan did so effectively.
For example he is now saying he is in favor of some of the
points of the Republican Contract with America. Had he only
supported those points before the election his claim to support
some points now would not ring so hollow. And were he able to do
so he might be able to regain some of the credibility he started
losing immediately after his election in 1992.
But now he has nothing to build upon and he does not appear
to realize it as yet. He appears to be attempting to find
something to say rather simply keeping his mouth shut. He does
not realize he has lost the initiative in any legislative action.
It is about time Clinton found a dutch uncle rather than a
sensitivity counselor to talk with him.

Finally some actually asks the question rather than telling
me it can not be right because of “other” factors. White are 84%
of the population, blacks 12%. On that alone it means that the
difference between the 5.1 and the 9.3 is accounted for by
blacks.
BUT let us consider those “other” factors and presume all
crime is caused by poverty (watch them change their tune after
this one.)
Roughly 1/3 of blacks and 1/10 of whites are below the
poverty line. So there are roughly 21 million whites and 10
blacks below the poverty line. (Data from 1994 Information
Please Almanac pages 828 and 829.)
Just to keep things simple that is roughly 2 to 1 and the
ratio of the murder rates is 8 to 1. That puts poverty level
blacks 16 times more likely to murder and 22 times more likely to
commit robbery.
Be prepared to read the howls from those who insist it is a
matter of socioeconomic levels. I did give them fair warning on
this for over a week. Your timing of the question was excellent.
Thank you.

SG> MG> I do not know how I could have stated it more clearly.

In regard to your original questions, he stands up before
school classes and discusses the subject as I noted. I further
noted that, more important than the kind work he does, that he
has no signs of any of the ARC diseases. Without those signs
there is no incapacitation.
SG> MG> SG> It also seems to me, that this guy is helping to prevent

SG> MG> address to send an SASE.
SG> I read our WHOLE message. If you are making judgments
SG> based on the artical alone, then that is your progotive.
SG> But, you have to look at the big picture.
The big picture is exactly as I have stated it. A person
who can barely move around and can only rarely wash herself gets
no benefits while an active person (no matter what limited duties
he might perform) gets every benefit under the sun. How can I
make this issue more clear?
SG> MG> SG> MG> A 93 year old woman barely able to take care of herself
SG> MG> SG> MG> and wanting desperately to stay out of a nursing home gets
SG> MG> SG> MG> next to nothing and qualified for nothing.
SG> MG> SG> Seems to me, she must have a financial nest egg that she
SG> MG> SG> should be using to support herself. Alice, should qualify
SG> MG> SG> for some other assistance like social security. There are
SG> MG> SG> many programs that help people who are financial trouble.
SG> MG> Seems to me you did no read what was reported in the
SG> MG> press. However, if you have contacted her and determined
SG> MG> your assumptions are correct, please so state.
SG> Maybe, you did not read the bottom part of my statement?
Nothing contradicted what I posted. There is NO financial
nestegg involved save the ownership of the home and for Medicaid,
at least in this state there are no financial “nestegg”
requirements and for in home services it is something over $60
thousand in assets.
And I note you have no idea what you are talking about.
SG> MG> SG> MG> Is there any wonder why we are reading that young
SG> MG> SG> MG> gays are not using any form of protection?
SG> MG> SG> Didn’t Herman get AIDS from needle sharing?
SG> MG> I agree, that was his claim.
SG> Then what does his needle sharing, have to do with “young
SG> gays, not using any form of protection?” AIDS is not a
SG> homosexual disease, it is a sexually transmitted disease.
SG> It doesn’t care if your hetro or homo.
In this country, over 90% of the AIDS cases are homosexual
or needle sharing or both. If you add the homosexual and both
cases that accounts for more than half the cases. NO ONE
seriously suggests that AIDS did not get into the IV drug using
community via homosexuals.
Neither this country nor the western world has any
heterosexual rooted problem with the disease. It has all come
from homosexuality and that includes the blood products for
hemophiliacs. You can not change history. That is the way it
is.
There is also no indication it will become a heterosexual
problem in any Western country. That is a fact also.

I do not see what your problem is here. I post a message on

standing up to school kids.

SG> MG> nothing to do with having any disease and it is

SG> I don’t think he asked to be HIV+, do you?
Asking is not the same as choice. He chose to violate the
law and use drugs. Given the date from which he claims the
infection it was well known at the time it could pass the
disease. That makes it voluntary. You are taking the position
that a person did not choose to die simply because he did choose
to drive 100 mph on residential streets. You might not ask to be
dead but jumping off of a bridge is a very good imitation of

He can just as easily have a real job and volunteer in his

getting in the first place.
SG> MG> Listen up. HIV+ is no reason for getting on welfare.
SG> Then I hope you will follow your own leade.

And that of course supports an armed citizenry where it is
the word of the survivor against the dead criminal. I believe I
have always suggested that. Thus real retribution for a crime
would be extracted at the time of its occurrence rather than
wasting millions to achieve the same result.

Capital punishment prevents repetition as in Willie Horton.
Yes, very clearly, capital punishment is for justice and vengeance
rather than prevention. Prevention could be accomplished by
speedy trials and slow executions but that is not within the
realm of public sensibility these days.
TB> MG> We would not be concerned with searching for better and
TB> MG> better methods to punish crime. Rather we would be
TB> MG> searching for means of prevention of crime.
TB> Education and inculturation work fine. The problem is that

I do not murder. Defense is another matter and I have not

There is little evidence that criminals, particularly

Subject: IMPOSING LIBERTY ON US
Imposing Liberty upon Ourselves
by
Matt Giwer (c) 1994 <11/15>
We were told over two hundred years ago by those who founded
our country that the requirement to preserve our country was a
well educated citizenry. Today our educational standards are
such that high school graduates can not name them much less what
they said. And it is not only the standards of teaching but that
in many cases students are not even being taught the material in
the first place.
We do have a democracy and just a week ago we demonstrated
it but what did we demonstrate? Exit polls in Seattle found 70%
of the voters against Tom Foley their candidate would become
Speaker of the House. Given the nationwide results that
misunderstanding may or may not have saved Foley’s job but in his
district what can explain such an error?
When I was suffering the slings and arrows of puberty we had
world history, American history and civics. The courses were in
that order and were one year each. The civics year covered the
operation of government at all levels.
I will grant that passing was only knowing 70% of the
material at examination time. I will grant for most that was the
peak of the learning curve but it was three related years of
study. But it was three levels of acculturation, first the
world, then the nation, and finally how the nation work.
I find nothing wrong with that sequence nor do I find
anything wrong with the content. Simply because I studied it
that way does not mean there are not other ways to accomplish the
same objective. But there is something we do not hear much about
today, regardless of the manner in which the subjects are being
covered, the objective.
What other objective is there save to achieve the original
stated and necessary objective, a well educated electorate for
the preservation of our form of government? Perhaps
unsurprisingly I have not heard that objective stated once in at
least twenty years.
By whatever name those courses go these days, I have heard
they should have other objectives such as increasing personal
self esteem, that they should increase the student’s awareness of
where his ancestors came from. And these ideas are accepted with
an air of superiority. Those who disagree are viewed as some
sort of racist low life.
And they get away with inserting completely irrelevant
purposes into the course material because we are not dedicated to
the purpose of the course material in the first place. That
purpose is in fact the preservation of our republican form of
government as embodied in the Constitution of the United States
and in the constitutions of the several states. There is no
other legitimate purpose for this part of education.
We can not maintain a strong citizen government by turning
out people who know more about the land of their ancestors than
they do about the culture of the United States. We can not
maintain our democratic principles with a citizenry doing nothing
but living their lives feeling good about themselves because they
were told their ancestors did something worthwhile.
Now there are some faced with learning the purpose of this
education for the first time who might say they only want it in
addition. To those I would answer I regret there is not more
education toward the objective of strengthening our government.
And I would not stop at these three subjects.
We only have twelve years at most to educate our children.
We only have them for a fixed number of hours in their lives
where we can require them to learn what is necessary for life in
this country. Education is not only for the student. It is also
for the country.
The concept of education has focused solely upon its
benefits to the student. We have forgotten the student must be
prepared to preserve the benefits of liberty for themselves and
ourselves by preserving our country and our constitution.
Knowledgeable citizen participation in our political institutions,
even if only by the vote, is as essential as participation in the
military in time of war.
Yet today we squander the precious few hours we have to
prepare our children for this essential task in life are
squandered on things of no benefit. If students must learn to
think better of themselves it it better to take the hours from
arithmetic than from the history / civics. It is better to miss
a play of Shakespeare than to miss the thoughts of Thomas
Jefferson. Not learning the latest ideas on the right foods to
eat is infinitely better than not learning the enduring thoughts
upon which our country continues to operate.
Some would hold we have no right to impose upon our children
but rather they should be taught ideas from other cultures. To
them I would point out they are very, very unlikely to ever get
close enough to those other countries to have to care. And
again, learning the cultural history of Southeast Asia takes
hours away from learning the cultural history of the United
States.
The United States does have a cultural. It is a polyglot
culture. It is a fluid culture. And there is no other culture
like it on earth. It is uniquely ours. If only to increase its
rate of change it is our duty to preserve exactly that.
Our ability to have the culture derives directly from our
political institutions. Our culture is not what it is now rather
our culture is our ability to take the best from other cultures
and discard the worst. We do not preserve that ability by
wasting time upon the culture that people’s ancestors had the
wisdom to leave.
Perhaps we can say the best thing we can teach our children
is the wisdom of all of our ancestors. And their wisdom was
leaving where they came from in order to come here. And for
those whose ancestors came here by force we may salute the wisdom
of their more recent ancestors in not taking up the many offers
to pay their way back where they came from.
This is the country we are preserving and it is time we got
back to doing that and only that.

RB> MG> 1. THE FISCAL RESPONSIBILITY ACT
RB> MG>
RB> MG> A balanced budget/tax limitation amendment and a
RB> MG> legislative line-item veto to restore fiscal responsibility
RB> MG> to an out-of-control Congress, requiring them to live under
RB> MG> the same budget constraints as families and businesses.
RB> While the line-item-veto may prove good, an amendment to
RB> the Constitution requiring a balanced budget can prove
RB> economically fatal to the United States in times of
RB> economic crisis, or even during times of economic cycles,
RB> and remove all flexibility to respond to unforeseen
RB> circumstance thereby worsening already bad economic
RB> situations.
Good sir, I believe we have met at a couple of gatherings.
You did not appear to be a teenager by any stretch. Therefore,
unless you have been much more fortunate in life than me you have
had a few economic crisis — or whatever the plural is. I never
had the slightest idea that going into even greater debt would in
some manner alleviate the current crisis. You appear to be of
the mentality that gets a new credit card to pay off the old.
While it may work for state governments (who
RB> do not have responsibility for manipulating the economy)
RB> it can be fatal on a national basis.
Speaking of which, manipulating the economy is on the hit
list along with welfare.
Also those citizens
RB> in dire need will find a government that turns a blind eye
RB> as was of the case in the early days of the history of
RB> this country. This is a very dangerous act that is far
RB> more dangerous than any deficit has ever been.
What are you expecting? Liberals forming militias?
RB> Unfortunately, too many people do not understand just how
RB> dangerous this is.
An armed liberal is truly dangerous but then when their
objective is welfare it is clearly theft.
We can find ourselves in a state of
RB> perpetual recession and witness a menacing deterioration
RB> of the nation’s infrastructure and public support
RB> structure. The end result can be to place all power into
RB> the hands of the very wealthy and leave the average
RB> citizen powerless in the face of an unresponsive
RB> government.
I can see why you do not believe there is a ballot box after
last week.
RB> MG> 2. THE TAKING BACK OF OUR STREETS ACT
RB> MG>
RB> MG> An anti-crime package including stronger
RB> MG> truth-in-sentencing, ‘good faith’ exclusionary rule
RB> MG> exemptions, effective death penalty provisions, and cuts in
RB> MG> social spending from this summer’s ‘crime’ bill to fund
RB> MG> prison construction and additional law enforcement to keep
RB> MG> people secure in their neighborhoods and kids safe in their
RB> MG> schools.
RB> Far too much emphasis is being placed on Federal
RB> involvement in crime reduction leading toward an ever
RB> growing system of police state powers that make the
RB> average citizen powerless against the state.
Now you are sounding libertarian. It is good to see the
expected turn around happening so quickly.
Couple this
RB> with a Federal government that grows ever more callous
RB> toward the economic needs of the people while controlling
RB> the people’s actions through increased police powers and
RB> you have the structure for a “third world” style of
RB> government.
But remember we are turning away from the liberal fascist
form of government. That in itself is good.
This trend is exceedingly *DANGEROUS* and
RB> needs to be turned around. The people are being
RB> conditioned by the constant barrage of media
RB> “crime-events” to doubt their own capabilities to stem
RB> crime in their own communities and to accept government
RB> control of all aspects of their lives. This is the road
RB> to fascism and to the destruction of democracy!
It appears you are supporting dancing classes and midnight
basketball. Why?
RB> A false image of crime has been created and this needs to
RB> be exposed. Get the federal government OUT of crime
RB> control!
Very Libertarian. You must have been paying attention to my
articles.
RB> MG> 3. THE PERSONAL RESPONSIBILITY ACT
RB> MG>
RB> MG> Discourage illegitimacy and teen pregnancy by prohibiting
RB> MG> welfare to minor mothers and denying increased AFDC for
RB> MG> additional children while on welfare, cut spending for
RB> MG> welfare programs, and enact a tough two-years-and-out
RB> MG> provision with work requirements to promote individual
RB> MG> responsibility.
RB> What this means is to turn poor people, who are largely an
RB> uneducated class, into a perpetual under class with no
RB> hope for a future and no where to turn for help. Any
RB> attempt to counter government neglect by organization will
RB> be met with vastly increased police powers. It will
RB> create a new class to replace the suppressed “nigger
RB> class” that followed the civil war. This is already
RB> happening to some extent and will be vastly broadened
RB> under Republican domination.
Try reading what it says and not knee-jerking. It says that
additional children will not be rewarded. It says the
Republicans have more faith in people and truly believe they can
take care of themselves just as well as they did before the Great
Society programs started. And, as you know, there has been no
measurable change because of those wasted 5 trillion dollars.
Therefore ceasing to waste more money will make no difference
either.
RB> MG> 4. THE FAMILY REINFORCEMENT ACT
RB> MG>
RB> MG> Child support enforcement, tax incentives for adoption,
RB> MG> strengthening rights of parents in their children’s
RB> MG> education, stronger child pornography laws, and an elderly
RB> MG> dependent care tax credit to reinforce the central role of
RB> MG> families in American society.
RB> Single people will be forced to pay the taxes of those who
RB> wanted to be treated as a privileged class for bearing
.

I don’t give a rat’s ass, frankly. I do keep a good
accounting of the rules as posted monthly and I find none from
this conference yet that is the duty of the moderator as per Fido
rules. I have been here quite some time but no rules.
Further, if science cannot have humor it is not where I got
my degree. And if pharmacy is not a science then my deceased
second wife with a Ph.D. in Pharmacology was way off base in her
education and in her teaching of medical school at Tufts.
And if you are completely humor deficient the line
Take only as directed
does raise the issue that is essential to the entire issue of any
science.
Once a law is passed as in Oregon then there is a technical
requirement not to simply “mis-prescribe” a drug but also to
develop the “perfect” suicide drug.
If there is no place for the applications of science to be
discussed in a science conference just where can it be discussed
rationally and without politics?
I presume you realize there is now a market for drug
companies to produce the proverbial “black capsule” for public
consumption so to speak.
There are going to be truth in labeling laws applied to
these drugs. There are going to be lawsuits if the person does
not die as a result.
And if a science conference is not the place to discuss such
matters then I can not imagine where it should be discussed. We
have people here (presumably) who will be tasked with developing
the 100% effective suicide pill. Is it not a valid point to
discuss the FDA approval of it? The field test results
themselves should yield volumes of discussion.
A moderator is also permitted to apologize without comment.
Yours will be accepted as such.

SS> BB> Just wait a minute, lets take a few steps back and look at
SS> BB> the situation. First of all, illegal emigrants are just
SS> BB> that, they are illegal. They broke the law entering this
SS> BB> country. Second, constitutional rights are only offered to
SS> BB> US Citizens and legal emigrants.
SS> BZZZZZZZTTTT! Wrong. Constitutional rights are available
SS> to ALL in this country, not just citizens.
SS>
SS> Whether this extends to entitlements is entirely another
SS> matter.
Certain enumerated rights are specifically protected while
all others are retained to the states and people without
enumeration. I have read it a couple of times and no place do I
find any right to benefits being protected. That would under the
state constitution so far as I can tell.
The issue comes down to the 14th amendment specifically
14th Amendment
Sect. 1. All persons born or naturalized in the United States,
and subject to the jurisdiction thereof, are citizens of the
United States and of the State wherein they reside. No State
shall make or enforce any law which shall abridge the privileges
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~^^^^^^^^^^
or immunities of citizens of the United States; nor shall any
State deprive any person of life, liberty, or property, without
due process of law, nor deny any person within its jurisdiction
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
the equal protection of the laws.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Note that the requirement is only to be in the state not to
be either a citizen of the state or of the United States. The
laws states the conditions for state services and long as they
are in the state they can get them. For example, several nations
have counselor offices in Los Angeles. They can send their
children to public schools without prejudice although their
countries customarily contribute to the states when that happens.
The complicating questions are, are social services and
schooling in fact privileges and is it proper to use persons born
in the US as a vehicle for finding their illegal parents? That
latter is a question in that such things as asking children to if
their parents use drugs and then arresting the parents is
generally frowned upon by the courts.

What a mosquito does is digests it. They one bite once per
eating period. Thus there is no way to transmit it.
And it has been tested with migrant workers. One would
expect it to be present equally in children and adults if
mosquitoes could transmit it. It is not. They show the same pre

Subject: THE NEXT ELECTION
Given this last election and despite everything anyone might
detract from this, unless there is some great change from this
year, the next presidential candidate needs the endorsement of
Rush Limbaugh to win. This is not to tout him rather to point
out that politics is very strange.
Consider the facts. If you make the strange assumption that
all of his listeners are “mind numbed robots” then he has 20
million voters in his pocket ready to vote for the candidate he
endorses.
If they are not such robots then there is a decent fraction
of them that are listening because he is saying what they like to
hear.
In either case he can deliver something on the order of 20
million votes and that is the largest voting block in the
country. It is nearly half of what elected Clinton.
Later I may get around to an article on how a talk show host
can possibly become a political force in this country. At the
moment I am thinking is shows a very sad state of affairs. Not
that Limbaugh is so prominent. Rather that elected officials
have become so weak.

———————————————————————–
The dead vote has now been fully counted in Chicago, and with 8,392 of the
deceased voting in Illinois’ Fifth Congressional District Dan Rostenkowski
(D) failed for the first time to receive a majority of votes among
Chicago’s highly esteemed dead voters, considered by many to be the most
active voting bloc of its type. Just two years ago Rep. Rostenkowski
fought to assure the dead Social Security benefits in perpetuity.
Shaken by this unexpected sea change in the behavior of a critical voting
bloc, local Democrats were at a loss to explain the shift, which also
escaped detection in exit polling. Leaders of the dead bloc could not be
reached for comment.
In a related story, Chicago district attorneys have announced the discovery
of a little known law forbidding the dead from voting, and are planning to
try all 8,392 of the dead for voter fraud. In a statement reaffirming that
all nonCongresspersons, even the “respiratorally challenged”, must be held
accountable to the law for their actions, a DA office spokesman insisted
that the stern anti-crime mood of the public leaves no choice but
prosecution to the fullest extent of the law.

Clinton has changed a Christmas tradition for the Marines.
In case anyone notices the Marines are missing from the Toys
for Tots campaign this year, it is all due to the ethics rules
signed by Clinton in 1993. Spokesman for the Marine Corp said it
took a year to understand how to implement it all.
Under the rules the Marines are prohibited for “soliciting
services or materials” as are all government employees under the
new ethics rules. The prohibitions extends to the use of
government equipment (trucks and such) in support of the toy
collection campaign.
It appears Clinton has fit the image of the Grinch.

“For the children” was and still is a good enough reason for

children and it is harder to make the hearts bleed. Make the
case that the problems stem from irresponsible adults rather than
from children and it puts a different complexion on everything.
It has been a matter of selling a case by spin control from
the beginning and it only now when there is no denying the
failure that a discussion can be held without name calling. It
has been nothing but a political gambit from the beginning.
What I am finding interesting is that the press is now
tending to side with winners in their reporting. Perhaps that
will mean the end of the obligatory weekly news coverage of the
plight of the poor and be replaced by one on how they cause it

Subject: ANTI-ENVIRONMENTAL MYTHS
TC> Environmental Research Foundation
Nice bit of propaganda.
TC> ANTI-ENVIRONMENTAL MYTHS ANSWERED
TC> MYTH No. 1: The public is fed up with extremist environmental
TC> regulations
TC> FACT: The anti-environment movement is really a loose
TC> coalition of industry lobbies and other special interests
TC> that create storefronts to make themselves look like
TC> grass-roots groups.
But people are still fed up with it.
TC> MYTH No. 2: Unbridled environmental regulation has resulted
TC> in the loss of thousands of jobs in forestry, mining,
TC> recreation, and other industries.
TC>
TC> FACT: This is one of the anti-environment lobby’s favorite
TC> fairy tales. Environmental regulation has taken the rap for
TC> jobs lost to everything from mechanization, exportation,
TC> and economic downturns, to downright corporate
TC> profiteering. In fact, environmental protection is a
TC> growth industry. Every year, the environmental industry
TC> grows by five to six percent and what is today a $200
TC> billion a year international industry, is projected to rise
TC> to a $300 billion dollar a year industry by the end of the
TC> decade.
At best this means that factory workers get to change to
being hazardous waste, minimum wage clean up crews who have to
chase jobs around the country.
BUT it does not address the net loss of jobs in the least.
TC> MYTH No. 3: For over 100 years, public lands have been
TC> available for grazing sheep and cattle. Now,
TC> preservationists are threatening to lock up the land and
TC> put family livestock operations out of business by
TC> increasing grazing fees.
TC>
TC> FACT: Only two percent of all livestock operators graze
TC> their cattle on public lands.
The fraction is irrelevant. The fact is it is not a myth in
that is it exactly what is happening.
The government’s cheap
TC> grazing fees give an unfair competitive advantage to
TC> corporations and wealthy individual operators over small
TC> family ranchers, who must pay the full cost of grazing
TC> their cattle on private lands.
Class warfare won’t sell your case but IF it is ONLY two
percent then it is too little too worry about as that bit of
propaganda has just said.
Meanwhile, livestock
TC> overgrazing has eroded soils and despoiled riparian
TC> [stream-side] areas, taking a huge toll on wildlife
TC> habitat, and the scenic, archaeological, and recreational
TC> values of public land that all Americans own.
And people are sick and tired of animals being put before
people.
TC> MYTH No. 4: We don’t need to save every endangered species
TC> and subspecies, particularly when people’s jobs are at
TC> stake.
TC> FACT: While extinction is a natural part of evolution,
TC> human activities have accelerated it 10,000 times.
This is a econut myth. There is no evidence for it.
Natural
TC> selection is the process for strengthening biodiversity,
TC> while the unnatural selection prompted by people
TC> artificially robs the Earth of its most important genetic
TC> resources.
Ah, the christian fundamentalist viewpoint that humans are
special creation, not natural and therefore human actions are
unnatural.
TC> The genetic information inside one mouse would fill all 15
TC> editions of the Encyclopedia Britannica published since
TC> 1768.
Irrelevant to putting rats ahead of people.
It is this wealth of information which provides
TC> scientists with the key to new miracle cures like taxol
TC> (derived from the Pacific Yew tree),
That is a flat out lie.
which benefits women
TC> suffering from ovarian and breast cancer, and digitalis
TC> (derived from the purple foxglove), a drug used to treat
TC> over three million Americans suffering from heart disease.
Only very, very rarely. Most all the natural ones are
primitive compared to the manufactured ones.
TC> The cure for diseases like AIDS may be hidden in one of the
TC> 100 species which become extinct every day.
That clearly misrepresents the nature of AIDS.
And many jobs
TC> rely on the health of species and ecosystems –from a
TC> billion dollar fishing industry to the pharmaceutical
TC> industry. The annual value of drugs derived from plants
TC> alone is over $40 billion.
$40 billion is so small compared to the environmental $300
billion growth industry mentioned above it is not important.
TC> MYTH No. 5. Wetlands regulation has denied ordinary
TC> citizens opportunities to build homes and businesses. If
TC> protecting the environment is in the interest of “the
TC> public good,” then the public ought to compensate
TC> individuals for the lost value of their property.
TC>
TC> FACT: The number of individuals who are denied the total

So you admit it is true. Then why is it called a myth?
In fact, over 98 percent of permit

After years of uncompensated losses while awaiting approval
and extensive, uncompensated changes.

Not quite on the same subject but I just thought of it. Go
back 100 years. The forensics has just been invented and not
doing very much yet. In the 1930s (I think) finger prints first
become generally acceptable evidence. Name a dozen other things
along the way and now DNA testing.
Consider over those years it has become not become a cut and
dried case to get a conviction. Individual criminals are not
getting any more clever in their crimes. Yet all of this
technology appears to have no bearing upon getting a conviction.
If anything it is getting harder.
In any other area the application of technology makes
achieving the ends simpler, easier or faster. In crime it
appears to have no effect whatsoever.
I do not have any conclusions from this yet but I find it
interesting.

When a person creates their own problems it is not relevant
to say they were solving a problem by another means. The means
of solving a drug problem is to stop using drugs.
TB> TB> It didn’t work. What inductive reasoning do you have to

I can not see it is conjecture that an executed murderer can

TB> Wait a minute, I was agreeing with you and now you object?
As the subject was the death penalty pro and con I have no

make the claim of agreement.
TB> TB> And capital punishment cannot accomplish that. Neither can

TB> MG> Capital punishment prevents repetition as in Willie Horton.
TB> But to use your analogy, you want “to prevent disease.”

TB> Therefore your solution is invalid.
I offered no solution simply a better, long term approach.
Consider the problem with prison in general. Some decades ago
the punishment approach was abandoned in favor of rehabilitation
which has not shown any notable success. Rather a rational
person continues what at least achieves a known level of success
and experiments with other methods until a better one is found.
A rational person does not declare a change should be made
without empirical data.

There were no Willie Hortons in the old days. It worked to
that extent. It may be a fallacy of the data but murder has
increased as the death penalty has decreased. On the face of it,
getting rid of the death penalty has certainly done nothing to
reduce the murder rate. Had there been a decrease certainly I
would support its elimination.
TB> MG> I do not murder. Defense is another matter and I have not

TB> Murder as a solution to a problem is a problem. Ok and you
TB> think executing those who kill to solve a problem should be
TB> killed.
When the reason for doing is, as in drugs, they need relief
from the need but choose to kill rather than to quit. That is a
free choice to kill others rather than to suffer personally.
They make the choice, they not only dry out in prison they die
for it.
TB> MG> There is little evidence that criminals, particularly
TB> MG> violent ones, think rationally.
TB> So now it is ok to execute them if they don’t think

TB> rationally they should escape the execution.
It implies nothing. What might be called rational murder is
legally called premeditated and considered almost the worst of
all.
TB> Who decide who think rationally Matt?
Anyone who can do so. I for one.

As with the car and the computer there appears to be no
difference between the train and the car. As to the contention
of widening the gap, I still do not see that holds. The same gap
as always but in a different area.

Subject: DEMS ON 94
The Dems hold the election was not in favor of the Contract
With America by saying the voter generally didn’t know about it.
Let’s work with that premise.
The Dems ran against Reaganomics and that was rejected. Does
that mean the Dems failed to communicate their anti-Reaganomics
position or that the voters want Reaganomics?
Is it the Dem claim that the voters did not vote for any
organized position that presented to them?
Fine. That leaves us with the necessary Dem position that
the switch was based upon nothing involved in any campaign but on
their own perceptions.
“Their own perceptions” were that Dems should retire early.
