I just saw Soylent Green again last night. What a great movie! And the opening credits are so good. In addition to the overpopulation statement, it did a good job of showing that racism would be destroyed. Note Chuck Norris' black girlfriend and every third character being black. The funny thing is how 60's it all was. The hairstyle and clothes. Kinda like 2001: a space oddessy. Which effectively put the 60's fashion into 2001. And Star Trek -- the series-- too.

Ex-KKK Member Convicted in 1964 Killings Ex-KKK Member Convicted in 1964 Killings By EMILY WAGSTER PETTUS, Associated Press Writer 11 minutes ago PHILADELPHIA, Miss. - Forty-one years to the day after three civil rights workers were beaten and shot to death, an 80-year-old former Ku Klux Klansman was found guilty of manslaughter Tuesday in a trial that marked Mississippi's latest attempt to atone for its bloodstained, racist past. The jury of nine whites and three blacks took less than six hours to clear Edgar Ray Killen of murder but convict him of the lesser charges in the 1964 killings that galvanized the struggle for equality and helped bring about passage of the 1964 Civil Rights Act. Killen, a bald figure with owlish bifocals, sat impassively in his wheelchair, an oxygen tube up his nose, as he listened to the verdict. Forty-one years after the tragic murders ... justice finally arrives in Philadelphia, Miss, said Rep. Bennie Thompson ( http://us.rd.yahoo.com/DailyNews/politics/news/ap/ap_on_re_us/civil_ rights_killings/15548513/*http://news.search.yahoo.com/search/news? fr=news-storylinksp=%22Rep.%20Bennie%20Thompson% 22c=n=20yn=cc=newscs=nwnews, http://us.rd.yahoo.com/dailynews/capadv/bio/ap/ap_on_re_us/civil_rig hts_killings/15548513/SIG=117r5askq/*http://yahoo.capwiz.com/y/bio/? id=344bio, http://us.rd.yahoo.com/dailynews/capadv/vote/ap/ap_on_re_us/civil_ri ghts_killings/15548513/SIG=11g2c5h8t/*http://yahoo.capwiz.com/y/bio/k eyvotes/?id=344 voting record), Mississippi's only black congressman. Yet, the state of Mississippi must see to it that the wrongs of yesterday do not become the albatrosses of today. The murder charge carried up to life in prison. But Killen could still spend the rest of his life behind bars; each of the three manslaughter charges is punishable by up to 20 years. Judge Marcus Gordon scheduled sentencing for Thursday. Civil rights volunteers Andrew Goodman and Michael Schwerner - two white New Yorkers - and James Chaney, a black Mississippian, were intercepted by Klansmen in their station wagon on June 21, 1964. Their bodies were found 44 days later buried in an earthen dam, in a case that was dramatized in the 1988 movie Mississippi Burning. Prosecutors said Killen - a part-time preacher and sawmill operator - organized the carloads of Klansmen who hunted down and killed the three young men. On Tuesday, cheers could be heard outside the two-story, red brick courthouse in this small town after Killen was convicted. Passers-by patted Chaney's brother, Ben, on the back, and a woman slowed her vehicle and yelled, Hey, Mr. Chaney, all right! Ben Chaney thanked prosecutors and the white people who walked up to me and said things are changing. I think there's hope. Schwerner's widow, Rita Schwerner Bender, hugged District Attorney Mark Duncan and called it a day of great importance to all of us. But she said others also should be held responsible for the slayings. Preacher Killen didn't act in a vacuum, she said. The state of Mississippi was complicit in these crimes and all the crimes that occurred, and that has to be opened up. Killen's wife,
Re: [scifinoir2] Russian space agency says solar launch failed
[EMAIL PROTECTED] What a pity! I was really excited about this! *sigh* Amy http://www.suntimes.com/output/news/cst-nws-solar22.html Russian space agency says solar launch failed June 22, 2005 BY VLADIMIR ISACHENKOV ASSOCIATED PRESS MOSCOW - A joint Russian-U.S. project to launch a solar sail space vehicle crashed back to Earth when the booster rocket's engine failed less than two minutes after takeoff, the Russian space agency said Wednesday. The Cosmos 1 vehicle was intended to show that a so-called solar sail can make a controlled flight. Solar sails, designed to be propelled by pressure from sunlight, are envisioned as a potential means for achieving interstellar flight, allowing such spacecraft to gradually build up great velocity and cover large distances. But the Volna booster rocket failed 83 seconds after its launch from a Russian nuclear submarine in the northern Barents Sea just before midnight Tuesday in Moscow, the Russian space agency said. Its spokesman, Vyacheslav Davidenko, said that the booster's failure means that the solar sail vehicle was lost. The Russian Defense Ministry launched a search for debris from the booster and the vehicle, he said. U.S. scientists had said earlier that they possibly had detected signals from the world's first solar sail spacecraft but cautioned that it could take hours or days to figure out exactly where the $4 million Cosmos 1 was. The signals were picked up late Tuesday after an all-day search for the spacecraft, which had suddenly stopped communicating after its launch, they said. It's good news because we are in orbit - very likely in orbit, Bruce Murray, a co-founder of The Planetary Society, which organized the mission, said before the Russian space agency's announcement. A government panel will investigate possible reasons behind the failure of the three-stage rocket's first-stage engine, Davidenko said. Past attempts to unfold similar devices in space have failed. In 1999, Russia launched a similar experiment with a sun-reflecting device from its Mir space station, but the deployment mechanism jammed and the device burned up in the atmosphere. In 2001, Russia again attempted a similar experiment, but the device failed to separate from the booster and burned in the atmosphere. The project involved Russia's Lavochkin research production institute that built the vehicle and was financed by an organization affiliated to the U.S. Planetary Society. The solar sail vehicle weighed about 242 pounds and was designed to go into an orbit more than 500 miles high. It was designed to be powered by eight 49.5-foot-long sail structures resembling the blades of a windmill. Each blade can be turned to reflect sunlight in different directions so that the craft can tack, much like a sailboat in the wind. Controlled flight would have been attempted early next week, and Cosmos 1 was supposed to operate for at least a month. -- Yahoo! Groups Links a..

[scifinoir2] Grandfather kills leopard with his hands
Grandfather kills leopard with his hands Wed Jun 22,11:42 AM ET A 73-year-old Kenyan grandfather reached into the mouth of an attacking leopard and tore out its tongue to kill it, authorities said Wednesday. Peasant farmer Daniel M'Mburugu was tending to his potato and bean crops in a rural area near Mount Kenya when the leopard charged out of the long grass and leapt on him. M'Mburugu had a machete in one hand but dropped that to thrust his fist down the leopard's mouth. He gradually managed to pull out the animal's tongue, leaving it in its death-throes. It let out a blood-curdling snarl that made the birds stop chirping, he told the daily Standard newspaper of how the leopard came at him and knocked him over. The leopard sank its teeth into the farmer's wrist and mauled him with its claws. A voice, which must have come from God, whispered to me to drop the panga (machete) and thrust my hand in its wide open mouth. I obeyed, M'Mburugu said. As the leopard was dying, a neighbor heard the screams and arrived to finish it off with a machete. M'Mburugu was toasted as a hero in his village Kihato after the incident earlier this month. He was also given free hospital treatment by astonished local authorities. This guy is very lucky to be alive, Kenya Wildlife Service official Connie Maina told Reuters, confirming details of the incident Tracey deMorsella, Managing Producer Convergence Media, Inc.

[scifinoir2] Re: Grandfather kills leopard with his hands
Wow! WOW! This reminds me of a news story from India some years back, the story of the woman who saw a cobra advancing towards her little daughter. She raced toward her daughter. But it was too late. The little toddler had bitten the cobra's head off. -C --- In scifinoir2@yahoogroups.com, Tracey de Morsella \(formerly Tracey L.

RE: [scifinoir2] Johansson Quit MI3 Because Cruise Tried To Convert Her
I could care less about Johansson quiting in light of how fearful I am of Cruise putting more dreck on us. MI2 sucked so bad I've never watched it again. It was the Tom Cruise show, not the IM Force. The first movie at least had some aspects of a team dynamic, though their butchering of Jim Phelps' legend was inexcusable. As for the Scientology thing, they must have zapped Cruise with more of that electricity testing/cleansing regimen they have, as he's been acting straight crazy recently! -Original Message- From: scifinoir2@yahoogroups.com [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Tracey de Morsella (formerly Tracey L.

Cruise, who produces the action adventures, met with Johansson ahead of casting for the upcoming Mission: Impossible 3 and took her to one of the controversial religion's headquarters, claims Radarmagazine.Com. A source tells the website, After two hours of proselytizing, Cruise opened a door to reveal a second room full of upper-level Scientologists who had been waiting to dine with the pair, at which point the cool-headed ingénue politely excused herself. Officially Johansson quit the film because of scheduling conflicts after the film was delayed so Cruise could make War Of The Worlds. Tracey deMorsella, Managing Producer Convergence Media, Inc.

Our Top Quotes from Scifi Movies RE: [scifinoir2] AFI list of top 100 quotes from U.S. movies
Hey people: What do you think are the top quotes from SciFi Movies? Tracey -Original Message- From: scifinoir2@yahoogroups.com [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Behalf Of Keith Johnson Sent: Wednesday, June 22, 2005 6:18 PM To: scifinoir2@yahoogroups.com Subject: RE: [scifinoir2] AFI list of top 100 quotes from U.S. movies I ended up watching the whole show. It was good, and I was pretty much right on with most of the top twenty quotes, including the number one. As always with the AFI lists (which i follow), I'm always aware of how few Blacks make the list. I think They call me Mr. Tibbs! was possibly the only quote spoken by a Black actor in the whole list! Note that Gollum's My precious made it. I disagree with the committee on choosing Open the pod doors, Hal from 2001. The most memorable line from that movie in my opinion is Dave, I'm afraid. -Original Message- From: scifinoir2@yahoogroups.com [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Brent Wodehouse Sent: Wednesday, June 22, 2005 16:52 To: scifinoir2@yahoogroups.com Subject: [scifinoir2] AFI list of top 100 quotes from U.S. movies http://www.voy.com/178771/51411.html AFI list of top 100 quotes from U.S. movies 1.
