@ PAX GERMANICA & U.S. OF EUROPE, OR A NEW WORLD ORDER? A debate has emerged
within the sabbatarian groups about the nature of the end-time Beast and
Religious system. Traditionally we have understood that the Roman system has
revived from time-to-time in the form of the German-led European Holy Roman
Empire and that this system is poised to rise again. But some now teach that
American bankers are working toward a Beast system, a world gov't or New
World Order, and this is the system prophesied in the book of Revelation.

: Is Revelation/Apocalypse an accurate model of metadimensional events? Do
you have a better model? Do you prefer Roman or Beast systems? Any others?

# TROUBLED TITAN IV ROCKET FINALLY GETS SUCCESSFUL LIFTOFF. After 3 previous
costly failures, the US Air Force finally successfully launched a Titan IV-B
rocket into space. The rocket carried into orbit a classified spy satellite
for the National Reconnaissance Office. "We always feel relief... when we
have a successful payload separation and the satellite gets into orbit."
Well, like, duh, dewd. Largest booster rocket in U.S. space arsenal - see
http://cnn.com/TECH/space/9905/22/space.launch.02/index.html
: Which aliens/humans interfered with Titan launches? Why? Did these launch
'failures' sufficiently enrich the tax-leeching cabal of space contractors?

# CITY FOLK WORRIED ABOUT Y2K BUG HEAD FOR THE HILLS IN VIRGINIA. Dozens of
Y2K refugees have moved to Floyd County, a sparsely populated area of the
Blue Ridge Mountains that has welcomed social dropouts for generations,
including the hippies of the '60s and the New Agers of the '90s. There are
at least a dozen small communes where people share the work and earnings.
Most of the communes grow their own food and are not connected to the
commercial electrical system. There is also an established barter system for
obtaining necessities. Around the country, some preparing for the worst -
see http://cnn.com/TECH/computing/9905/22/y2k.refugees.ap/index.html
: When Y2K hits, will you invade Floyd County to pillage those who prepared?
If you're prepared for Y2K, do you want your story reported in the media so
laggards and slackers know where to find you? Do you have enough guns? Huh?

# Scientists mounting search for Earth-like planets. SAN FRANCISCO (Reuters)
Somewhere, in a star system perhaps not too far away, lies a "pale blue dot"
which could be a planet much like Earth. Scientists plotting the search for
that planet met this week to coordinate research aimed at probing the skies
for alien worlds which could support life. New realms for pollution, taxes:

: What would you do with a pale blue dot if you found one? Would you see it
as an opportunity, a threat, exciting, irrelevant? Who would you send there?

"In the heat of the moment, he always did what he had to do; yet later,
surrounded by the wood panels and brandy snifters of the secret room
that housed his very private collection, Raoul wryly reflected that he
might well have been more discreet than to remove the ruby-encrusted,
myth-enshrouded tiara from the granite head of Councilman Smithers in
the town square of sleepy Corn Row, Iowa." --Kathy Pelzman
