LOGAN, Utah (AP) - A man accused of beating his daughter after she ran away from an arranged marriage to his brother pleaded no contest Wednesday in a trial that had many calling for a crackdown on Utah polygamy. The case had generated enormous interest in a state with an estimated 25,000 polygamists. All in the family - see http://www.infobeat.com/stories/cgi/story.cgi?id=2559260984-22a : Do you doubt that polygamy is still a significant thread in the weft and warp of Mormonism? Does your belief system dictate marital standards? Do you favor having multiple mates? Why does Mormonism flourish in a region of alien abductions, cattle mutilations and UFO crashes? Are ETs Mormon? _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ *** German court dumps crucifix. BERLIN (AP) A court ordered a Bavarian school to remove a classroom crucifix after a couple charged it violated their 10-year-old daughter's rights. But the Federal Administrative Court also upheld as constitutional a 1995 Bavarian law that requires the Roman Catholic symbol in classrooms unless a parent raises "serious and reason- able" objections. In the latest twist in a 13-year legal battle over states' rights and freedom of religion, the court said the Bavarian law was "valid without reservations." The complaint was filed by a German-Chinese couple living in overwhelmingly Roman Catholic Bavaria. The father had argued that Jesus on the cross was a male symbol degrading to his daughter. See http://www.infobeat.com/stories/cgi/story.cgi?id=2559257533-723 : Does your belief system promote male symbols that degrade women? Should courts regulate religions?

But one physicist continues to insist that it's for real - and that he can prove that cold fusion exists as a controlled nuclear reaction. He is very close to developing simple and practical applications using this reaction as a source of low-cost energy. http://www.mg.co.za/mg/news/99mar2/29mar-coldfusion.html : Are UFOs powered by cold fusion? How could you tell? Did Reptilioids leak cold-fusion details to Fleischer and Pons? Was it disinformation? Why not? _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ *** Serbs blame Clinton for school shooting. BELGRADE (AP) State-run Serb TV said Pres. Clinton was partly to blame for the massacre at a Colorado high school because his policies show "America solves problems by force." The TV report called the shooting rampage by two Littleton, Colo., teen-agers "an expression of serious distortions in American society ... where violence and force are part of everyday life and youth education." White House press sec- retary Joe Lockhart dismissed the Yugoslav report as "insane." See http://www.infobeat.com/stories/cgi/story.cgi?id=2559258570-f4b : How do you judge insanity? Do you blame all your violent acts on the Prez? Is violence caused by misfiring implants, a culture of dehumanization, MTV, wargames, bad drugs, demons whispering in your ears, CIA mind-control rays, ideological/personal/economic disputes, human nature, hot winds, capsicum? _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ *** Colo. suspect may have had Web page. NEW YORK (AP) Columbine High School gunman Eric Harris appears to have had a Web site filled with apocalyptic imagery, apparent bomb diagrams and a line of verse that ended "WHAT I DON'T LIKE I WASTE." Using the AOL screen name "rebdomine," Harris titled his Web page "REB's words of wisdom, if you don't like it, ill kill you" and packed it with drawings of devils, guns and pyres of skulls. The AOL Web site feat- ured verses like: "WHAT I DON'T SAY I DON'T DO." "WHAT I DON'T DO I DON'T LIKE." "WHAT I DON'T LIKE I WASTE." At the bottom of the AOL page, he listed his favorite chat room: "ich bin ein auslander," pidgen German for "I am an outsider." http://www.infobeat.com/stories/cgi/story.cgi?id=2559256891-62f : Why do AOL searches reveal nothing about Harris, yet a scan on TRENCHCOAT MAFIA points to an AOL page of Star Trek lists? What's the connexion? Were the Colo. shooters ETs? Where do Spock and Tuvak fit into the picture? Why? _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ SkeptiLinks: # THE OFFICIAL CALENDAR OF Y2K.
