@ NG of the day: I AM AN ANARCHIST. It may not have hundreds of postings,
but the few dozen that are here on anarchy.rules are bright. Quite philo-
sophical, these posts cover serious ideological questions, including the
ever-popular overintellectualization of teen angst. You'll find responses
to recent news stories and technology's relationship to news events by
people who are actually thinking. Think hard. Harder. news:anarchy.rules
: Do you belong to an anarchist organization? Is a Libertarian just an anar-
chist with a bank account? Is anarchy implanted in human minds by ETs? Why?

# Turd Mural Divides Art Lovers. FRANKFURT (Reuters) - German art lovers are
turning up their noses at an abstract picture painted with the artist's own
feces. The work, shown at Frankfurt's Museum of Modern Art, depicts brown,
egg-like shapes surrounded by an off-white line. It doesn't smell because
it is coated with resin. The 35-year-old artist, Anton Henning, ate a large
meal to give himself sufficient material for the painting. "It was created
in 1995 after I enjoyed a meal of Koenigsberg dumplings, mustard gherkins,
beetroot, potatoes, watermelon and lemon juice, Rheingau riesling wine and
a big brownie." http://news.excite.com/news/r/990614/08/odd-germany-feces
: What would you eat to provide sufficient material? Do you prefer emulsions
from carnivores, vegetarians, rockeaters, coprophages, humans, animals, ETs?

@ Children Have Time Out For God. Prayer in public school is controversial,
and has been held to be a violation of the separation of church and state by
US courts. But many groups of public school students are escorted by parents
out of elementary classrooms during the school day to attend religious
services at local churches. www.ncpa.org/pi/edu/nov97kk.html
: Would you rather that students take time out during the day for deities,
drugs, science, sex, logic, book-burning, sports, bigotry, ecology, labor?

# SAY HELLO TO COMET C/1999 H1 (LEE). The truth of the matter about C/1999
H1 (Lee) is that nobody can project its path, and that the observed rapid
increase in brightness in connection with the officially supplied orbital
modifications provide a strong indication that it's going to progressively
bend inwards towards the orbital plane of Earth. Could damage Earth as soon
as August 1999: http://www.millenngroup.com/repository/cometary/lee.htm

# SAINTS VYING FOR NET PATRON. A 6th century monk may have risen to the top
of the short list of candidates the Vatican is considering for the title
of patron saint of the Internet.
http://www.wired.com/news/news/email/tip/culture/story/20202.html
: Does the Net really NEED a Catholic saint? Why not a Mormon, Orthodox, Zen
or Santeria saint? Do saints do software? Does tech support deserve a saint?

# TEAM ORB Announces Initiative To Introduce The Orb Beings To The Vatican.
WANAQUE, N.J. (INTERNET WIRE) Over the past year, the Vatican has reportedly
maintained an ecumenical committee to investigate the presence of extrater-
restrial beings on Earth. Recently, Vatican representative Monsignior Carlo
Balducci announced to the public on behalf of the Vatican, to the clergy,
public and congregations / archdiocese, that aliens are "real". Yesterday,
on behalf of TEAM ORB, a bold inquiry was directed to the Holy See. See?
!Si! See http://www.internetwire.com:80/technews/tn/tn983009.dsl
: Is the Vatican already run by ETs? Are all religions just mental diseases
implanted by aliens? Do you believe any statements from the Vatican? Why?
