Q: really with a demonstration going on outside half the dining area roped off with tape and a dead body seated at one of the tables. mr gently sir the officer in charge called out as he peeled one end of the tape off a column we were told not to touch anything til you got here. the body of the man slumped awkwardly in a chair. then even a dead body would start getting uncomfortable in a macdonalds chair after twenty minutes - and this one had been there for at least eighteen hours. two back legs and the tail of a cat hung out of the mans gaping mouth. dirk turned to the officer i suppose you are going to tell me this is the darndest thing you ever saw aint this the darnd.... the officer seemed annoyed that dirk had second guessed him. were removing the body in a few minutes so if you can get through as quick as possible many people eat cats in fast food restaurants dirk asked and without waiting for an answer leant over the table to pick up an untouched burger. and whats this he asked waving it in front of the officers face. its a vedgie burger the waitress who was cleaning one of the adjacent tables shouted across. she walked over to dirk. we started doing them because of that lot out there she nodded towards the protesters who were pressing there faces against the windows theyre called linda mccartney vedgie burgers - ever heard of them dirk suddenly felt faint perhaps a combination of hunger and jet lag. this is deja vu all over again he thought to himself. he glanced at policemen - at the badge on his shoulder opd but this wasnt ontario this was toronto. opd - officially pronounced dead. it dawned on dirk what was happening he knew what he would see if he looked out of the window. sure enough there it was the volkswagen beetle parked across the road - number plate 28if - 28 if paul mccartney had lived. and amongst the lyrics of the song blaring out into the restaurant he could pick out the words i buried paul. now it was though dirk was viewing the whole scene though a tv screen. this was conspiracy. not -a- conspiracy or -the- conspiracy but just plain conspiracy. you look faint - are you ok mister the waitress asked. dirk shook his head probably a bit hungry then to economise on dialogue took out a pack of cigarettes and held it out towards the girl. she was about to take one but dirk snatched the pack away held it up to his mouth and drew out two cigarettes. he lit both then passed one of them to the girl. it was the closest he had come to a sexual encounter in three months. want a burger the waitress asked. dirk looked down at the vedgie burger on the table. no thanks - just a plate of fries the waitress walked away and dirk looked around the room. apart from a family seated in the far corner there was only one other person in the restaurant - and he wasnt eating. the guy was about mid twenties and had straggling shoulder length hair. on the table in front of him were lots of pieces of paper cut into squares. every so often he would pick up a camcorder and pan it around the room and then when he was finished speak into a microphone which was attached to a tape recorder. dirk walked over to where the man was sitting. the small pieces of paper had paragraphs of text written on them and were stuck to the top of table with blobs of mustard. lines had been drawn some solid some dotted on the table top with a marker pen. the lines ran from one piece of paper to another. what are the lines for dirk asked realising straight away that what the hell are you doing would be more appropriate. you see the man replied nervously the dotted lines are weak links and the solid lines are strong links. the dotted lines are things which are happening in the rest of the world and the solid lines are things which are happening to me. now you see i draw over a dotted line replacing it with a solid line when i can link something back to me. like this the pen squeaked over the formica and before dirk could interrupt the man added. you see i lost my short term memory and as a consequence have a very short attention span. i write down record and film everything then put it all together later so dirk interrupted. you filmed what happened here yes yes its here on this tape the man pushed the cassette across the table. on the label the words grassy knoll had been crossed through and replaced with macdonalds. suddenly the man sprung from his seat. dirk turned and saw that the body was being removed on a stretcher. as it passed the man picked a small object off the edge of the stretcher itself. this is important he said laying a blood stained bullet on one of the small pieces of paper on the table. suddenly the room was filled with a deafening throbbing sound as a black helicopter landed in the street outside. two men in united nations uniforms got out and collected the stretcher. back at the table the long haired

occur to anyone that the real goal of gun control might not be about reducing crime -- christopher a. young you cant shout down a troll. you have to starve them. .. i wont try claim to be able to verify the facts of this but it does closely parallel the chicago suburb gun ban results from many years ago. politicians are incapable of learning from the mistakes of others. budd --------------------------------------------------------------- ----------------------------------------------------------------- ---------- --------------------------------------------------------------- ----------------------------------------------------------------- ---------- heres a thought to warm some of your hearts... from ed chenel a police officer in australia hi yanks i thought you all would like to see the real figures from down under. it has now been 12 months since gun owners in australia were forced by a new law to surrender 640381 personal firearms to be destroyed by our own government a program costing australia taxpayers more than $500 million dollars. the first year results are now in australia-wide homicides are up 6.2 percent australia-wide assaults are up 9.6 percent; australia-wide armed robberies are up 44 percent yes 44 percent! in the state of victoria alone homicides with firearms are now up 300 percent. note that while the law-abiding citizens turned them in the criminals did not and criminals still possess their guns! while figures over the previous 25 years showed a steady decrease in armed robbery with firearms this has changed drastically upward in the past 12 months since the criminals now are guaranteed that their prey is unarmed. there has also been a dramatic increase in break-ins and assaults of the elderly while the resident is at home. australian politicians are at a loss to explain how public safety has decreased after such monumental effort and expense was expended in successfully ridding australian society of guns. you wont see this on the american evening or hear your governor or members of the state assembly disseminating this information. the australian experience speaks for itself. guns in the hands of honest citizens save lives and property and yes gun-control laws affect only the law-abiding citizens. take note americans before its too late! forward to everyone on your email list. i did dont be a member of the silent majority. be one of the vocal minority who wont let this happen in the u.s.a -- posted via a free usenet account from http//www.tera.com .

tbone wrote the price dropped because they could not justify keeping that high and for no other reason than that. bull!! they dont care what you think their justifications are. that is not what i said miles. it is not me that they are concerned about. they are concerned about the government who would be forced to return to price controls. gas is not a luxury that people or the country can do without. it is not an optional expense like starbucks. if youll pay it theyll charge it. lol wrong again. if they charge we have to pay it which gets the attention of the people that they dont want looking as it was getting close to election time. the price went down because consumption dropped and stockpiles increased. as i said the stockpiles increased so they could no longer justify the high price on diminished supply as they were doing. this is also the reason no new refineries have been built. thanks for making my point -- if at first you dont succeed youre not cut out for skydiving .

despite an orchestrated campaign of attempted censorship by uk-resident group readers tfn did not bow to demands for a suppression of freedom of speech. tfn general policy on the matter is as follows; draft policy on account deactivations due to group postings ================================================================ group postings occasionally take the form of a message which goes against the topic of the conference. for example a derogatory message about canadians in the soc.culture.canada. members of such groups then may send a message to the system administrators asking that a users account be terminated because of such posting. the toronto free-net board of directors has taken the position that the only postings that will get a persons account terminated is material that is illegal under canadian law. otherwise the toronto free-net will not take any action. freenet executive director mike anderson had this to say regarding the continued attempts of a minority of usenet participants to have my account on his system deactivated; the tfns policy is not to take action against members unless they contravene the criminal code of canada or engage in practices such as forgery attacks against other computer systems or mailbombing. mr. corley while possibly being very annoying has not contravened the tfns policies. the tfn believes strongly in freedom of expression while recognizing that the price for such freedom may be a high signal-to-noise ratio in usenet. if mr. corley breaks the law we will take action -- until then he has the same rights as any tfn member to post to usenet groups. actions such as mailbombing the tfn in protest will be met by strong complaints to the originating sites postmaster. the best defense against unwanted postings may be simply be to ignore them and deny the poster an audience. tfn executive director toronto ont canada personally i find it gratifying that my contributions to usenet discussion are recognized as being conducive to a high signal-to-noise ratio by their quality and thoughtfulness. 4420 -- posted via a free usenet account from http//www.tera.com .
