# Sexuality Linked to Ethnic and Nationalistic Conflicts. LAWRENCE, Ks. --
Sexuality is a common undercurrent shaping a host of social phenomena such
as white flight to the suburbs, and ethnic & nationalist conflicts around
the world. "Forbidden frontiers" lie at the intersections of racial and
sexual boundaries: http://www.newswise.com/articles/2000/2/SEXUAL.KAN.html
# Jealousy Good For Couples: http://www.newshub.com/cgibin/rd.cgi?9361626
# Dissecting the Language of Love. Whispered sweet nothings may sound like
silly nonsense, but they speak volumes about the changing nature of sexual
discourse. A historian traces the evolution of words in the English lang-
uage used to describe sex and express love from Anglo-Saxon times to
today. http://www.discovery.com/news/briefs/20000211/misc_lovewords.html
: Is your belief system driven by sexual conflicts? Is your sexuality driven
by ideological conflicts? Are your conflicts driven by sexual beliefs? Are
you fucked, jealous, celibate? Do you talk about it? To your inner voices??

# Clinton Urges Public Access to Genetic Code. WASHINGTON -- Pres. Clinton
said that researchers and the public -- not just a small group of drug &
biotech companies -- should have ready access to the human genetic code,
which is widely considered the key to a whole new generation of drugs
and medical treatments. But does he really really really mean that?

: Do you need a genetic code? What would you do with it? How can you profit
from it? Have your genes been decoded yet? Are they worth anything? How much
do you want for them? Would you sell them to humans, aliens, lawyers, me? Do
you think they'd sell on eBay? Can you bootstrap that sale into a fortune??

origins in the light of new discoveries in South Africa. Sophisticated:

@ Could Ancients Fly? Many myths/legends of flying machines, flying carpets,
Biblical figures flying around, and magical chariots [Vimanas] of ancient
India and China. http://atlantisrising.com/issue10/ar10ancientavi.html
: Is current culture at a low point compared to our glorious past civiliza-
tions? Would you rather fly in a magical chariot, Boeing 777, flying carpet,
UFO, zeppelin, antigravity belt, or be carried off by angels? Can you hope?
@ Burrows Cave. Found in a cave in southern Illinois: representations of
ancient Egyptians; Semitic emblems; portraits of pharaohs and sea-farers
centuries before the birth of Christ. http://alexhelios.com/anambrws.htm

# Asteroids: Gold Mine or Pile of Rubble? WASHINGTON � Mention the word
"asteroid" to most people and thoughts of Armageddon and doomsday come to
mind. But entrepreneurs plan to one day launch a robot craft, or a Near
Earth Asteroid Prospector (NEAP), to an asteroid. Once there, it would
land instruments to take photographs and scientific readings to detect the
presence of such precious commodities as platinum, gold, cobalt and water.
"The wealth out there is beyond imagination!" And almost beyond reach:

# RichesInRubble: www.space.com/science/astronomy/asteroid_paine_august.html
: What's your favorite asteroid? Is it commercially exploitable? Would you
rather use an asteroid as a mineral source; artillery shell [for bombing a
likely target]; spaceship [for riding to another solar system]; toxic waste
dump; performance-art piece; traveling billboard? Got any extra asteroids?
# Art Imitates Otherworld Life. WHAT'S NOT TO LOVE about "Possible Futures?"
It's got sex, bug-eyed monsters, high-tech hardware, action, drama, robots
run amok, rock-jawed heroes and pneumatic heroines, killer rabbits, explo-
sions and eye-popping vistas of planets on which the foot of man has never
trod. It's also got implications about man's love-hate relationship with
technology, xenophobia and jingoism, changing society, gender roles and
the hubris inherent in trying to exert dominion over nature. Yipi-ki-yay.

# Drowned land reveals first Americans. Combining the skills of Cousteau &
Leakey, two Canadian researchers have gone off the deep end to address a
deep mystery:: How did people first make their way to the Americas? Using
sophisticated underwater techniques, the scientists have mapped out a now-
flooded route that could have provided an entry point into the New World
during the last ice age, supporting the idea that maritime Asians migrated
down the coast of N.America instead of hoofing it overland, as anthropol-
ogists traditionally thought. http://www.sciencenews.org/20000205/fob2.asp
: Have you tracked any early Americans lately? Do you search for their beer
cans, bowling alleys, discarded Fords, 8-track tapes? How did they acquire
these technologies? What alien benefactors were involved? Are you puzzled?
@ Ica Stones of Peru. Approximately 15,000 stones are clearly carved
with scenes of medical transplants, people riding dinosaurs, and
other enigmas. Are they a hoax? http://www.m%2Dm.org/jz/sphinxff.html
@ Jurassic Art. The Ica Stones and figurines depicting dinosaurs are
estimated to be at least 1,500 years old. How did ancient man have
knowledge of these creatures? http://www.viewzone.com/dinoclay.html
@ Jurassic Art II. Follow-up about the enigmatic Ica Stones depicting
people and dinosaurs together, an ancient man with a telescope, etc.
Dig the photos, hey? http://www.viewzone.com/dinostone.ica.html
