Subject: I ASSumed ...

Originally from - Subject: In Response to - (Re: Iraq vs. N Korea)


Hi Ricsi (and everybody),

First, let me say this ...

While I was outside removing some small rocks from my garden, I realized
I needed to remove some big rocks from my own head, too.

I ASSumed that Ricsi (and others) were saying something with certain
words, but I never clarified if he (they) used those words in the same
way that I might use them. And I never clarified what they might actually
have been trying to say.

So ...

When I ASSumed, I was a bit of an ASS.

I apologize. I was wrong.


Second, I strongly agreed with Ricsi's concern that the USA is making a
case that "we can invade any country anytime we want, because we say it's
okay (therefore, it IS okay)".

For some reason, that is difficult for some Americans to understand
(although most of us would agree that Saddam was wrong to invade Kuwait).


In my opinion, this is a bit of a blind spot for which there is no
excuse.

Warm regards to all from sunny Arizona (USA).

Bob Dohse

Subject: Re: Fw: arachne list cancelled

I subscribed to the Yahoogroups Arachne list, so I think.  To: line on the
confirmation message was 77 characters long.  I didn't stay online long enough
to get the welcome message, that was the end of my session.  I didn't use the
web interface at all, so I didn't have to answer all those questions.

I used gmx.net address instead of [EMAIL PROTECTED] so as to have some
fodder for testing with fetchmail when I set up with Linux.  Do I need to use
gmx.net SMTP or can I also use Bluegrass Net SMTP?  I noticed some messages to
[EMAIL PROTECTED] CC'ed to the Yahoogroups list.

Hi Ron,

As my professor for fieldwork liked to say, 
"The absence of evidence is not the evidence of absence".

Anyway, theories can never really be proved, but are rejected when they
are disproved.

All of which probably means that this subject could be discussed and
debated for a long, long time.

To side step the issue <grin>, ...

One of the interesting possibilities with the Genome Project (and other
such studies into DNA structures) would be the ability to conduct a
comprehensive, comparative analysis of various living organisms and
display the results in a side-by-side graphic display (that a
nonprofessional like myself could understand).

Included could be some *before and after* displays showing the mutative
effects of such things as radiation, chemicals, or whatever else may
cause mutations.

Whatever the other outcomes may be from the *cloning debate*, one issue I
haven't seen discussed is the potential to one day demonstrate how the
process of genetic mutation works.

I can imagine the graphics once the DNA structure is completely
understood in every aspect. Somebody will come out with a photo morphing
program that will allow you to see what you would look like with slightly
different DNA.

Maybe that will be a future feature of Arachne (version 1.73 ???).

Your genetically-close relative,

Bob  :-)

Hi Ron,

One of the things that I will never understand is that, regardless of
adherance to evolutionist or creationist thoughts, everyone shares a
common ancestry at some point in history. Therefore, I cannot comprehend
the hatred based upon genetic characteristics.

I've heard a lot of arguments that have SOME level of validity, but
racism is not one of them.

So, Ron, I guess we're related. 

Cool. I've always wanted a big family.

Bob

That was an era when racial tensions were running very high, especially
in many small towns in the deep south.  Those who wanted to preserve as
much as possible the old system which failed to protect blacks from
discrimination were also inclined to be very strongly prejudiced against
Jews too.  Jews in general tend to be very liberal minded and strongly
opposed to racial and religious discrimination of any kind.  The lawless
Ku Klux Klan and other vigilante groups were against Blacks, Jews, and
Roman Catholics.

BTW, the genuine and original and legitimate Ku Klux Klan was officially
disbanded by its founder, the former Confederate General Nathan Bedford
Forest, because members of the organization started resorting to violence.
It was not his idea to use violence.  He only wanted to scare people by
playing on the superstitions which he erroneosly thought to be widely held
by black people.  This of course was not the right thing to do, but it was
perfectly legal and it was not violent.  His men would don white sheets
and hoods so as to appear as ghosts and they would ride around on
horseback and pretend to have supernatural powers by playing magic tricks
and creating clever illusions.  Most black people were not at all
impressed by such antics.  It was the intent of the Klansmen to scare the
black people away from dealing with the corrupt northern politicians who
descended into the south after the Civil War for the purpose of exploiting
all of its people, to include blacks as well as whites.  One of the
favorite exploits of the corrupt northern politicians consisted of bribing
the uneducated former slaves into voting for them.  When the corrupt
politicians got voted into power they would recover their investments in
bribes by raising the taxes on real estate.  The founder's tactics to
scare the blacks away from the corrupt northern reconstructionist
politicians met with very little success.  This infuriated most of the
Klansmen.  Then they started to resort to violence.  The founder abhorred
the recourse to violence.  For this reason he officially dismissed,
disbanded, and disowned the organization.  Unfortunately the Ku Klux Klan
continued to exist even unto this day.  Klansmen today are wrong to
continue to acknowledge the former Confederate general as their founder.
They perform a great dishonor to his memory and reputation by doing so.
Also they dishonor the Confederate Battle Flag by their having adopted it
as one of their symbols.  All of them are common renegades.  None of them
are acting pursuant to the the orders of a responsible leader.  They are
all in plain violation of the orders of the former Confederate general
who had officially dismissed them.  By their having adopted as one of
their symbols the banner under which the general formerly served they
dishonor it.

Most of the hatred against blacks was generated as a result of the abuses
of the corrupt northern reconstructionists.  Most northerners have the
arrogance to think of themselves as morally superior to southerners
because they are not as inclined as southerners to hold racist attitudes.
The hypocrisy is that much of the blame for racist attitudes in the south
can be laid directly to the corrupt behavior of the northern
reconstructionists who descended upon the South after the Civil War.

During the era of the civil rights movement most of the Jews supported
the social philosophy of Martin Luther King.  His philosophy was very
unpopular among many white Christian protestants throughout the South
during his era.  Resistance to the concepts of social-mixing and
integration and to non-discrimination changed very fast throughout the
South during the years immediately following the assassination of Martin
Luther King.  There still exist today a few vestiges of the former
racist thinking, but it is very unusual in the towns of the modern South
of today to come across a whole lot of people who still think that way.
People who still think that way are marginalized.  The civil authorities
nowadays place a very high priority on punishing severely any person who
assaults another for reason of his hatred for the victim's race,
nationality, or religion.  In some jurisdictions those types of crimes
are defined as "hate crimes" and additional penalties apply.  So called
"hate crime" legislation is very controversial because it is being used
for protecting only the victims who are minorities.  This is not fair.
It is just as wrong for a black person to assault a white person
because of his race as it is for a white person to assault a black
person because of his race.

In Linux you will probably set up your MTA (sendmail, exim, etc.)
to use your ISP's (Bluegrass) SMTP (smarthost). Best to leave it
like that, although I believe that gmx supports pop-before-smtp,

It is nearly impossible to view from another perspective... your

US and Europe have much in common being 'western' civilisations but also
differ a lot.

Although the bulk of hate towards the Germans is gone... it's nearly 60
years WW2 ended... you will encounter anti-german sentiments from time
to time, in most European countries (The UK is an exeption but they
never had German occupation)

Not all resentiments against Germans come from WW2 or earlier wars.
Germany is an economic power and German tourists use and show that
money. An example: the Spanish isle of Ibiza is a popular holyday
resort. And over the years Germans bought houses there. At the time over
50% of Ibiza is in German hands, bars and hotels are run by Germans...
The original population was at first enthousiastic because this gave
jobs on the island... but over time they are becomming a minority on
their own island.
The Germans are now called 'arogant' and their money is creating envy.

The Americans are ruling the world, with money and a very big mouth...
would the 'rest of the world' react differently from the Ibizians?
As the Americans roar harder the resentiments are growing, a bit in
Europe (after all we a part of the same white and rich civilisation).
Much stronger resentiments in the non western world, especialy the
moslim world.

Hitler promised a way out: he did not pay and started to build a new
army and that boosted the economy... created jobs in a world suffering
from the economic world crash in 1929. This was not an empty promise...

However: Germany insisted upon heavy reparations before WW1 after
the war of 1870. One of the best ideas after WW2 was: no reparations...
but American help in the "European Recovery Program" also know as Marshall
Help. THANK YOU AMERICA !

Declaration of war (WW2) was by France and England after Germany
attacked Poland.

Hi Samuel,
          for arachne I use several From's and that does not seem to
matter. So I think it does not matter whoever sends a thing to the list. 
But the list itself is only been send to the subscribed members.

Beginning of January my regular ISP was down (that's why I tried to get
off the list) and i had to switch to an other ISP with of course a
different e-mail address. This had no consequences for sending to the
list :-) :-)

In theory the list is open for spammers... but in reality I never
received spam from [EMAIL PROTECTED]
So I would say: leave it the way it is now (but a way out of Arachne
would be a very good thing :-( )

I personally prefer to sample the local variety, and I think the wheat
beer is best. I always thought that the city of Pilzen should be given a
Nobel prize for economics - so many deals have been made over a cold
Pils.

If you prefer Heineken, then I know what to offer when the occasion
arises. Perhaps on a future trip through that wonderful airport of yours.

During the many years I have been subscribed to the Arachne List
I recall only one incident of a spammer who joined the list.
This happened a couple of years ago.  He put down Arachne.  Also
he said some things to the effect that we are all backward and
stupid people for using DOS.  He tried to have us believe that he
had joined the list for the purpose of educating and enlightening
us and rescuing us from the dark ages.  He acted as though he thought
himself to be so superior to all of us.  He recommended that we all
convert to windozers and he advertised some products which he was
marketing and which run under Window$.  This guy lasted only for a
few days because all the list members who chose to comment about
him put him down very severely.  In an apparent attempt to get even
with me for a private reply I sent to him which he did not like, he
sent to me a Window$ email virus, which of course is not even capable
of infecting my all-DOS system.  Although I did not report his
behavior to his ISP he suddenly disappeared from the list.  Good
riddance!

My favorite beer is Guiness Stout, an Irish beer.  I don't drink it
very often because it is very expensive here.  I generally prefer very
dark beers.  Of the imported amber beers I also like Heineken.  Very good,
and not anywhere near as expensive as Guiness Stout, a dark beer.  Of
domestic amber beers I do not find anything very special about Budweiser.
To me many other domestic amber beers are just as good as Budweiser and
they are much less expensive.  I don't know why the dark beers tend to be
so much more expensive than the amber ones.
