Don,

Is there some other, perhaps more appropriate, list you can use to vent 
your political views?

How about sending an email to Lil' Bush and the other right-wing 
Republicans that would rather see families bankrupted than doing 
something constructive about health care in this country.

Paul,

  I think you'll find that Don's type of post is perfectly acceptable to the 
majority on this list as long as it is against President Bush and the 
current administration.  Try writing a similar post against Barack Obama and 
just watch the fireworks.

Greg, you are indeed right, Bush has driven this country into the toilet, more 
banks failed today! My grandmother told be about the 30's and bank failures, I 
never thought I would see it happen, but Bush is the gift that keeps on giving. 
In my book, anyone with a 20% approval rating sucks!
Now, it would be best to keep silent on this, notice how no one responded to 
Don's post, perhaps we can leave it alone now.

Mike,

  In your post to me, *you* didn't keep silent, did you, Mike?  Nope, you
confirmed what I wrote to Paul.  You once again bashed Bush (while
dishonestly failing to even mention the dismal ratings of the Democratic
controlled Congress - 9% approval) on a list devoted to METEORITES.  I
couldn't care less about your ignorant political proclamations.
  I'd be more than happy to talk about meteorites, and *only* meteorites,
if others like you would do the same.  But until then

Re: [meteorite-list] [IMCA] A Feeling Of Shame

2008-07-26 Thread mexicodoug
Really, why don´t you take a vaction to Acapulco.  Life is too short.  
Get a new attitude.  If you enjoy venting about such crap, it could be 
time for a vacation and to turn off the TV and late night talk shows.  
Or a meteorite chase in Southern Chile.  Why hasn´t it been mentioned 
the new fall there...  The world is still a wonderful place.  I heard 
most Americans just got $600 free from the Tax Man thanks to everyone´s 
favorite ...(I´m tongue-tied for an appropriate name call).  Sounds 
like serious meteorite money to me from out of the blue, if you don´t 
take that sorely needed vacation.

Best wishes from latitude 13.5 north and the Pacific :-)

Actually Greg, you are mistaken. 
What Paul wrote was correct and in no way viloating list policies since he 
merely told Don that the list was not the place for that. 
It was you who brought up Bush and Obama, I just kicked in since you did it, I 
did it. 
It is Don, you and Myself and Matt who are wrong. 
As I said at the end of my email, it would be best for all to not go there.

Re: [meteorite-list] [IMCA] A Feeling Of Shame

2008-07-26 Thread Jerry
You [he] sure got that right. In our democracy, choice is always about the 
lesser of evils.

.,governments are instituted among men [and women]
..,It is their right, it is their duty, to change that government
So choose and shatup!
It's always been a crap shoot but losers are either good sports or pains 
in the a$#.

Blame is one way to deal with frustration but reality doesn't change.
I voted Republican last time and I've got no feeling of shame [subject 
line-even though the subject's changed].
However, Now I'm dubious again. The choice is not as clear-cut to me as some 
might see the upcoming election.

So I'll continue to read and listen and try to decide.
Once I choose I'll try to be a good sport But Democracy is an oppositional 
form of government isn't it.

Actually Greg, you are mistaken.
What Paul wrote was correct and in no way viloating list
policies since he merely told Don that the list was not the
place for that.
It was you who brought up Bush and Obama, I just kicked in
since you did it, I did it.
It is Don, you and Myself and Matt who are wrong.
As I said at the end of my email, it would be best for all
to not go there.
Hopefully this ends here.

   In your post to me, *you* didn't keep
 silent, did you, Mike?  Nope, you
 confirmed what I wrote to Paul.  You once again bashed
Bush
 (while
 dishonestly failing to even mention the dismal ratings
of
 the Democratic
 controlled Congress - 9% approval) on a list devoted
to
 METEORITES.  I
 couldn't care less about your ignorant political
 proclamations.
   I'd be more than happy to talk about
 meteorites, and *only* meteorites,
 if others like you would do the same.  But until
then

 Bush is the gift that

Being a newby in the IMCA community, i know little about Gary Foote. I just

Maybe biding on items by email or phone is the reason why nobody placed bid on

Re: [meteorite-list] [IMCA] A Feeling Of Shame

2008-07-24 Thread Michael Farmer
I have watched this for the last few weeks, and I have decided not to 
participate for the simple reason that there seems to be a clique that has has 
formed over the last 6 or 7 years, one made up of a few people who seem to 
think that they have a mandate to take control of these charity donation/money 
raising issues and run them how they see fit. There is often a demand for 
participation, and denouncement behind the backs of those who do not donate, I 
find this repulsive. I do not like to be shamed into anything, and certainly am 
offended to the point of going to the opposite direction. The perception that 
dealers have tons of money and material just laying the garbage heap makes me 
sick. I have lots of meteorites, and no money right now, I know many of us are 
in the same boat, sales are in the crapper due to the financial genius of our 
government and the absolute greed of our wealthy businessmen and corporations. 
So please do not pretend to know my
 financial situation because I have a website filled with meteorites, at this 
time I am finding it difficult to pay my own bills, much less someone elses.

I no longer trust giving other people my meteorites, and having them be in 
charge of selling them/auctioning them. I will not discuss the specifics, but I 
know that wrongdoing has taken place in the meteorite world with such 
donations. I do not like silent auctions, gimmicks, charity auctions where 
email or phone bidding take place, out of sight and oversight everyone. Ebay 
sales with payments directly to Gary Foote would ease these concerns and halt 
any chance of fraud taking place. Many of us are having problems, my wife lost 
her job last month while I was in Europe. She is on unemployment, a whopping 
$240.00 per week in Arizona, which barely pays for a couple tanks of gas these 
days. I know of many other list members who are having financial and medical 
problems in silence, no help for them is coming. 

There is nothing wrong with organizing or aksing for help with a fellow list 
member, but while you may night recognize it, sometimes the way these things 
are done can really rub people the wrong way.

I want to clarify to the list that in no way am I implicating Maria in any 
wrongdoing, it seems that is how my email came off, so I will clear this up 
right now, no Maria is not in any way who I am speaking of, they know who they 
are. 
I merely wanted to say that I and other have been scammed in bogus donation 
schemes in the meteorite-list world where money did not reach the intended 
recipient or go to the desired use. I am not going to discuss that incident 
further, so don't ask, it would serve no purpose at this point but to cause bad 
things which we don't need at this time. I will no longer just donate things to 
raise money unless it is done in a very clear way for all to see such as a live 
auction or ebay auction, only when procedes are sent directly the person, not 
through a third party or the seller. There is just too much room for mistakes 
or theft.

Re: [meteorite-list] [IMCA] A Feeling Of Shame

2008-07-24 Thread Michael Farmer
Ok, lets put this to bed. 
I have received a flurry of phone calls demanding clarification, so here goes.
This event took place at least 7 years ago. It does not involve ANYONE who is 
organizing charity events these days. I am not accusing anyone who is currently 
doing these good deeds, not Notkin, or Anne Black, or Maria, come on, I am just 
in disagreement about some of the methods used, which led to myself and others 
being ripped off in the past. Money was given and much less money ended up in 
the hands of the intended recipient. This left a very bad taste in my mouth. 
This is not so complicated as people are making it out to be. 
I was offended by Mal's email. Since he publicly tried to crucify dealers and 
big collectors for not showing so much interest in helping Gary Foot by 
participating in the charity auction, I publicly responded as to my own reason 
for not being out there giving or bidding. 
I will put an item on eBay, and the buyer can pay Gary Foote directly, this 
will be my way of helping and that way I know that every cent goes to the 
intended use. 
Michael Farmer

I wish Gary and his family well, and I think it is good that people are trying 
to help him.

 this or me, but all I can say is it is a shame when you
 have a list
 comprised of hundreds of folks worldwide supposedly not
 only
 interested in a hobby, and appear to want to share and
 communicate
 with one another (hence why a list like this exist in the
 first
 place, correct?), but don't seem to want to reach out
 when a time
 like this comes upon us to help one of  our own
 !!!  I know times
 are getting harder financially , especially maybe here in
 the US for
 a lot of us, but still many of us are finding it possible
 to still
 invest and spend on ourselves and indulge our hobbyist
 desires and
 whims, so why then can't some of you ,if not all, offer
 something to
 show your true care, compassion, and concern, not just for
 another
 human being, but for one of us for goodness sakes!
 
 Again, I know I will probably receive some distasteful
 responses due
 to my putting my nose where maybe a lot of you feel it may
 not
 belong, but it is rather disgusting to see talk always
 going on about
 what's for sale, what I want, what can I acquire, while
 rarely
 anything is mentioned about Gary's plight save for our
 resident
 angel, Maria!  It looks like some basic plain old greed and
 self
 indulgent type behavior to me!  This is why we find so much
 misery in
 our world at any given time, and any given place --
 it's always about
 me, me,me, me!!!  Well, take just a few precious seconds
 and do some
 REAL soul searching then see what it's truly all about
 -- life I mean
 -- then maybe a few of you may come to a different
 realization!!!
 
 Now I'm through, I'll step of off the proverbial
 soapbox and await my
 stoning, but I felt lead to say what I did.  Oh yea, you
 may also
 excommunicate me as well if the desire is there.
 
 Thanks for your time in indulging my rant!
