Arthur C. Clarke, known to most of you (author of many SF works, coiner of the phrase: "all sufficiently advanced technlogies are indistinguishable from magic," mention by Alan Olsen yesterday), has a role in a "Discovery Channel" program called "Mysterious Universe."
Actually, it was _I_ who mentioned this quote, but didn't specifically recall whom to ascribe it to. Perhaps Tim May didn't see it; a week or so ago May engaged in a shotgun-type killfile addition, including me when I was merely ( I still believe...) the victim in a local flamewar. If there is somebody out there who:
1. Is on speaking terms with Tim May. and 2. Has a little respect for my commentary, I would very much appreciate it if you would forward this comment to him to ensure that he sees it.
The truly ironic thing is that Tim wrongly ascribes the comment to Alan Olsen, who is apparently the (recently admitted) perpetrator of at least one flamewar against me.

GROW UP!! Charles Donald Smith Jr. ||The government is my shepherd I need not work. It alloweth me to lie down on a good job. It leadeth me beside stilled factories. It destroyeth my initiative. It leadeth me in the path of a parasite for politics sake. YEA, though I walk through the valley of laziness and deficet spending I shall fear no evil, for the government is with me. It prepareth an economic utopia for me by appropriating the earnings of my grandchildren. It filleth my head with false security. My inefficiency runeth over. Surely, the government should care for me all the days of my life, and I will dwell in a fools paradise forever.................AMEN! || nuke'm if ya got'em||
