However if a corporation or a family group infringes on the health of my family by polluting a stream I drink from doesn't it become my business ? How you personally handle such a situation? I would not handle that personally. I think rules about emissions and waste, and enforcement of those rules, is a valid government function. And yet, when I suggested not long after you arrived in this mailing list, that regulation on pollution was a valid government function, you SCOFFED ME. So you can't even keep your own shit straight. So, frankly, and very rarely for me, breaking the rule of IAAMOAC: FUCK YOU. You're a troll AT BEST, and frankly, I think you're the worst kind of tosser.

Back when I was writing the Alliance for Progress Encyclopedia I wrote some Fan-Fic history and fiction--the longer works I never finished. A few people wrote and said they liked what I had written. I am not in grad school, I'm pretty healthy, I have some free time, and I need a hobby. If I were to write new Uplift Fan Fiction would anybody be interested in reading it? Not only will I read it, I'll critic it. Contacting Aliens made many mistakes. Hoon feet have toehooks and the Rousit were totally forgotten. And the Rousit, if developed to the logical conclusion, are good for an entire Alvin novel subplot. William Taylor ___ http://mccmedia.com/mailman/listinfo/brin-l_mccmedia.com
