@ CONTACTED. I have often been asked whether I have ever been "contacted."
My answer is always, "I believe so," for what is the truth other than our
individual beliefs? But my "contact" was not one of the typical types that
one reads & is told about. No face-to-face encounters for this UFO lawyer.
The awareness began with a telephone call. http://caus.org/cc012200.htm
: Have UFOs/ETs been in touch with you? Do they phone, write, email, broad-
cast, stir your thoughts/emotions/bioneurochemistry? Do they touch, probe,
caress, hurt, fuck, whisper, shout, stare, blink? How do you react/respond?

# Bibles in the Classroom. Fundamentalists would have you believe there's
zero tolerance for Scripture in the schoolhouse. Not so. In fact, you can
legally teach the Bible in US public schools -- but only if you're very,
very careful. http://altreligion.about.com/library/weekly/aa012100a.htm
: Would you rather teach religion in schools, or science in churches? What
is your favorite bible? How is it different from all the other bibles? Why?

# Branch Davidians Remains Sought. (AP) The special counsel re-investigating
the government's conduct during the 1993 Branch Davidian siege asked a
federal judge to grant him temporary custody of tissue and bone samples.
The human remains are needed "to verify the toxicological work previously
performed" - see http://news.excite.com/news/ap/000121/18/waco-military
: Would'ya like to exhume the Waco dead? What would you do with the remains?
Something kinky? Did the FBI/BATF/CIA/NSA manipulate the remains already? Is
the cover-up seamless? Will Waco remain as unsolvable as JFK's termination?

# Quantum Memory: U-M Physicists Show It's Not Just For Theorists Anymore.
Using ultrafast lasers and a beam of cesium atoms, University of Michigan
physicists have created a database that stores & retrieves data in atomic
quantum phase, instead of the bits and bytes used by today's computers.
http://www.sciencedaily.com/releases/2000/01/000120141812.htm
: How good is your memory? How good are dieties' memories? Do deities have
quantum memories? Is that how they can remember everything? If deities can
know & remember all that happens in this universe, where do they store the
memories? Does the universe function as its own memory? Is the universe a
computer that computes itself? Are your deities computers? Apple or WinTel?

# New Orleans: The New Atlantis? With predicted sea level rise,wetland
loss, subsidence, and the absence of restoration programs, the future
of New Orleans is bleak. Research examines the processes driving catas-
trophic coastal conditions and the breakdown of the Mississippi River
Delta. http://www.sciencedaily.com/releases/2000/01/000121071306.htm
: Will deities reclaim NOLA as they did Atlantis? Will anyone notice? Will
legends arise about the great, vanished civilization there? Will Mardi Gras
be remembered as a sacred ritual celebration? Will corruption be forgotten?

# The color line means nothing to young Americans, yet blacks and whites
remain apart. Why? Because there's a culture line, and race demarcates

@ Conspiracies & Extremism. Fear, loathing & paranoia rule the darkest
corners of the Web. Taking you places you may not want to go:
http://conspiracies.about.com/mbody.htm?terms=UFO&PM=113_200_T
: Are you fearful, loathful, paranoiac, racist, or just culturally demarca-
ted? Are small minds better than no minds at all? Does the Web feed your
negative side? Depending on your cultural background, is negativity repre-
sented by black, white, red, green, brown, ultraviolet? Does it matter??

"As one reads history... one is absolutely sickened, not by the crimes
that the wicked have committed, but by the punishments that the good
have inflicted; and a community is infinitely more brutalized by the
habitual employment of punishment that it is by the occasional occur-
rence of crime." --Oscar Wilde

==========
CTRL is a discussion & informational exchange list. Proselytizing propagandic
screeds are not allowed. Substance—not soap-boxing! These are sordid matters
and 'conspiracy theory'—with its many half-truths, misdirections and outright
frauds—is used politically by different groups with major and minor effects
spread throughout the spectrum of time and thought. That being said, CTRL
gives no endorsement to the validity of posts, and always suggests to readers;
be wary of what you read. CTRL gives no credence to Holocaust denial and
nazi's need not apply.
