You forget the German hysteria during WWI. My grandfather had to change his name or lose his job. Landecker was too German. Landley was acceptable. The German press in this country, the second largest after English, was basically put out of business. It abated after the war. During WWII, the Japanese Americans on the West Coast were put into concentration camps after being forced to sell their property at bargain prices. But, they were let back out after the war. BTW, FDR insisted on this action. I believe J. Edgar Hoover said it wasn't necessary. So, war time controls are eased after the war.

Perhaps just meaning that the 'increased loss' of freedom gets everyone's notice at such times. All the other freedom loss through government policy that increases little by little is not so obvious. But I think the latter results in more freedom loss over time. Of course, neither are in anyone's real best interest (Although that is what they typically claim to be.) And, I must also ask, what freedoms are lost now?

And the GI women in Saudi Arabia really created a stir! They were let jog in shorts in the center of town, where they stayed. And they were seen to be driving cars. The morality police (not a part of the government) went crazy. They could do nothing to these women. But, after the army left, they were a bit more hostile towards western women who they felt were not being modest enough. And the women started demanding that they be able to drive. There were rumors and denials in the papers. Ultimately, nothing happened. But, I don't think the women know whow this works in their favor as well (low seriousness factor here - but not wrong either). They instead have drivers who deal with the really terrible Riyadh traffic and parking problems. Husbands have to take the wife grocery shopping. I have never seen so many families shopping together as in Saudi Arabia. The father has to take the kids here and there. Just think how your life would be if your wife did not drive and you had to do this? This really does not make life easier for the men. They really should wise up. Even the question about how women must dress is I think looked at too narrowly. Ever see how an Arab man dresses? He is totally covered from head to foot. They all wear the same white dress and picnic tablecloth head covering. No variety at all. They wear this at all times in and out of the house. The women can dress as they like at home. Only when they go out do they need to cover up. The women all in black and the men all in white. Not too much difference. I don't agree with all this, but at least recognize that the men also have many additional restrictions because of this. -- = Roger Oberholtzer E-mail:[EMAIL PROTECTED] OPQ Systems AB WWW: http://www.opq.se Erik Dahlbergsgatan 41-43 Phone: Int + 46 8 314223 115 32 Stockholm Mobile: Int + 46 733 621657 Sweden Fax: Int + 46 8 302602 ___ http://linux.nf -- [EMAIL PROTECTED] Archives, Subscribe, Unsubscribe, Digest, Etc ->http://linux.nf/mailman/listinfo/linux-users

The history of every crisis point in U.S. (or other nations) history contains a list of either blanket usurpations of power, or of "temporary limitations" which have become permanent impositions against a large number of the points addressed specifically in both the Constitution and the Amendments thereto. In many cases it has been acheived by redefining the meaning of the words: i.e.: most of the controversy about so called "Gun Control" pivots on the meanings of the words "militia" (understood to be constituted of all free able-bodied men) and of the word "infringed". There are communities which have perpetrated very severe restrictions on ownership of weapons simply by the way they defined the word "infringed". Creative moral terpitude on the part of our "public servants". One of the first cries raised after the bombing of the Federal Building in Oklahoma City was for more gun limits to prevent acts of terrorism in the U.S. Totally unrelated, but perpetrated and accepted in the interests of security. The "RICO Act" - confiscation of property without trial or conviction, done in the name of security and the "War on Drugs". The list goes on. There's already talk of more limitations on, and snooping of, internet services.

Not so wimpy. The 223 has more knock down than the .303. The bullet moves at 3,300 ft/sec and spins at anywhere between 18,000 to 24,000 rpm (depending on rifling twist). When it hits something soft it tends to keyhole (turns end for end) at the same time it is still spinning at 24,000 rpm. It's like getting hit with a ball of whirling razor blades. Its only draw back is that it is a lousy round in brush, that's where the heavier slower .303 has an advantage.

Why do many animals have a greatly > reduced lifespan when caged? Their spirit is broken. I can't say I've I an not sure if caged animals live shorter lives. I know that dolphins in the wild don't live as long as penned dolphins. Most animals, including the human animal, live longer when given a steady diet, are fed even when they are too sick to hunt/gather food that week, get medicine for infections, and are protected from predation and extremes of weather. Not having to fight for mates or for territory also extends life. If some animals die quicker in cages, it is likely due to infection or stress from overcrowding. About riding zebras, I think that may have more to do with evolution. Domestic animals have been bred to work with humans. Horses, dogs, cows, etc. all have a long history of selective breeding (by humans) to make them useful to us. As an example of something we take for granted in domesticated animals, you cannot house break a chimpanzee. Despite high intelligence, the chimp has not evolved, they tell me, control over their sphincter function, so necessary for humans and their animal companions. Imagine how long a human/dog/cat would last in a human group if they just did their business whenever the need hit them. I don't see a man getting many mates (human ones, at least) if he had that problem. Joel P.S. This thread seems to have hit rock bottom with this email!

Then find out why Ladden did it? Talk to him before making a military arrest. :) Joel Hammer wrote: >I am afraid of heights (I would hate to have to jump more >than 10 stories) and now airplanes, whether in one or watching them >fly overhead. >People almost invariably choose personal security over "freedom". >Any rational person would. > _ Do You Yahoo!?

I would rather show a photo id to get on a plane than be hijacked. I would rather the state license drivers of cars so I don't get killed by an incompetent driver. I would rather cameras be used to screen faces in public places than have a bomb go off during my third beer. I would rather be stopped and frisked for weapons than be shot by a mugger in New York City. I would rather have packages inspected carefully by the postal service than get a letter bomb. I would rather the INS screen the border very carefully than to have known Arab terrorists and their associates book commercial flights and fly commercial jets into high rise buildings. There is no such thing as absolute freedom. That would be called anarchy. Even animals have a social order and rules.

I am afraid of heights (I would hate to have to jump more than 10 stories) and now airplanes, whether in one or watching them fly overhead. People almost invariably choose personal security over "freedom". Any rational person would.
