If there's anything more annoying than a boring nut who takes up 30% of the list volume, it's a boring nut who takes up 30% of the list volume with plaigerized articles from other, much more creative and intelligent nuts. This, of course, is CJ Parker's work, as published on Declan's Politech list.

Sheer stealth isn't as much a factor for me as is accuracy, reliability and being able to avoid the "woman with a peashooter" image. All rhetoric aside (but with all that in mind) I've actually been thinking of getting a 9mm, something along the lines of a Glock 26, a Kahr P9 or maybe a Sig-Sauer P239. Any thoughts? I know there's no substitute for getting out there and firing them at a range to see what I'm comfortable with, but if anyone has any recommendations, better suggestions, which 9mm to avoid, etc. I'd appreciate it. ~Faustine. *** Resistance to sudden violence, for the preservation not only of my person, my limbs, and life, but of my property, is an indisputable right of nature which I have never surrendered to the public by the compact of society, and which perhaps, I could not surrender if I would. - --John Adams -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: PGPsdk version 1.7.1 (C) 1997-1999 Network Associates, Inc. and its affiliated companies.

Agent orange news in Nam... http://www.infoshop.org/inews/stories.php?story=01/12/31/3456415 Scientists investigating the effects of Agent Orange in Vietnam have found that people living in a so-called hotspot have the highest blood levels of its poisonous chemical dioxin ever recorded in the country. Agent Orange, which has the dioxin (TCDD - short for 2,3,7,8-tetrachlorodibenzo-p-dioxin) as one of its constituents, was last used in 1973. But today, some residents of Binh-Hoa, near Ho Chi Minh City, have 200 times the normal amount of dioxin in their bloodstreams. Agent Orange was widely used by the US military during the Vietnam War as a defoliant so that Vietnam's dense jungle could not provide cover for Viet Cong forces. 'Startling' results It was when US veterans started to become ill with a variety of health problems that investigations suggested that Agent Orange could be involved. The most dangerous ingredient was the dioxin, a pollutant that stays in the environment for decades. There are still about 12 dioxin hotspots in Vietnam, in areas where very heavy spraying took place. (cont) Page 1 breaking news is apparent discovery of highly toxic batch in WA.(ex vietnam)Deaths suspected.

Another Movie of Some Cpunk Interest
by Blanc 06 Jan '02

I was just reading through the John Locke Foundation web site, http://www.johnlocke.org/ (and I'm suitably impressed with what I've read there, their approach to things is quite respectable), that Orson Scott Card's sci-fi novel "Ender's Game" is being made into a movie (no info on when it might be out). [I liked the story alright, except for the disappointing end: apparently all that superior intelligence and strategy and toil & trouble was all on account of . . . big bugs. Not a very seriously realistic reason or challenge, in my mind, to warrant all the mystery of the effort. Oh, well. Maybe the special effects will be entertaining, and with a bag of popcorn for additional enjoyment it will be worth the matinee price. :) ] .. Blanc

I think there is other wierdness that goes along with the USPS : something about price minimums for certain types of mail carried by the likes of FedEx and UPS. Protective pricing structures. I grew up a in a fairly rural area. We all put up our own mailboxes on posts. Every winter the damn plow knocked them over. Some went for brute force, heavy pipe set in concrete, others for more elegant angled pivoting supports. IIRC when you put up a mailbox ( paid for with your own $ ) it becomes property of the USPS. What about the old-fashioned mail slot on the front door? Illegal to possess now? Why don't the trailer park folk do the following : Update everyone's mail boxes. There will be two slots in the lid : one labelled "US Mail" the other labelled "Private Mail" label the bucket "Private Property - No Trespassing" Let the law come down hard on anyone who puts mail through the US Mail slot without postage. The whole thing sounds truly stupid and about par for the course. Mike
