# Video Games Train Kids To Kill Says Military Expert. HAMILTON -- A U.S.
psychologist who spent 25 years teaching soldiers how to kill says violent
video games are turning a whole generation of young people into killers.
In a chilling warning to Canada's police chiefs, retired Lt. Col. Dave
Grossman said the games have the same desensitizing effect as military
killing simulators, which ingrain soldiers with a homicidal reflex. Then
he squashed a wombat. http://www.sightings.com/politics4/vid.htm
: Have you been trained to kill? Did your training involve videogames, mind-
control rays, animal mutilation, bayonets, lasers, napalm? Is it fun? How??

go back into the archives of the first photograhpic images recorded of the
formations, and assemble them all from all over the world in chronological
order to present making sure to use only the dated images that are consid-

seen at a glance. now carefully redraw them exactly in a row by the time
they appeared. now study the mathematical formulas in their goemetrical

of script. maybe an alphebet, possibly whole trains of thought. chu-chu:

# Religious in Turkey believe quake is divine warning. (AP) The quake hit
the heartland of secular Turkey, but has stoked religious fervor among
some Turks looking for reason behind the random devastation. A radical
Islamic group, Hezbollah, smashed windows and bottles at a state-owned
liquor store in Istanbul, blaming booze peddlers for bringing damnation.

# Hizbullah moving to Europe? Hizbullah is thought to be shifting its base
from Lebanon to Europe and has stepped up the recruitment of Europeans to
help carry out its operations. Senior sources in Israeli military intel-
ligence claim the group is changing its location in anticipation of a
possible peace deal between Israel and Syria. Peace is intolerable:

sinners, Preacher Bob yes or no?" "I love them with a perfect hatred."

# Palestinian officials deny Holocaust. The Zionist Organization of America
(ZOA) urged Sec. of State Madeleine Albright, meeting with PA official Abu
Mazen, to pressure him to publicly retract his claim that the Nazis didn't
murder six million Jews. Abu Mazen (nee Mahmoud Abbas) wrote a book, "The
Other Side: The Secret Relationship Between Nazism and the Zionist Move-
ment," which argues that the Nazis really killed less than a million Jews
and that "the Zionist movement was a partner in the slaughter of the
Jews." http://upway.com/cgi-bin/readnews?day=99_08_26&item=#935688175

Her gray hair pinned back in a tight bun, Miss Aunt B. (for that's what
everybody in Demopolis called her) straightened up from the stark and
lovely rack of distinctive green and orange Penguin Classics she was
stocking and, winking at the signed photographs of Faulkner and Capote
which flanked the framed first dollar bill The Haunted Bookshoppe had
taken in, turned to the overweight matron in cerise who was holding a
clothbound copy of Jacqueline Susann's ONCE IS NOT ENOUGH and replied,
"It's about the second coming of Christ!" --Rosa Crucial
