OK, here's the plan. First we build Moonshine City with a large statue of
Bush ("Our Founder") in the city square. The space rope is tied to Bush's
middle finger suitably upthrust toward Earth (His famous statement is
inscribed below: "Who the hell cares what you think?"). The other end of
the rope is tied to a satellite shaped like the traditional brown jug,
circling Earth every day as below, just like the Moon does. Whenever
anybody needs to go to Moonshine City, they first hop a flight to Brown
Jug satellite and shinny up the rope from there.

==========
CTRL is a discussion & informational exchange list. Proselytizing propagandic
screeds are unwelcomed. Substance—not soap-boxing—please! These are
sordid matters and 'conspiracy theory'—with its many half-truths, mis-
directions 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, CTRLgives 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.
