dead reporter found in motel
Kyneton,victoria au.Nov 2001.Wired reporter declan mc cullagh was found dead today in a country motel. Both wrists were deeply slashed with a stanley Knife and police say there are no suspicious circumstances. Though working on an esoteric story about a prototype internet weirdo,mc cullagh was said by a friend called 'measl' to be depressed.A washington lobby group known as the Cato institute is paying to have mr mc cullaghs ashes flown back home where they may be scattered over the city he loved.A huge crowd is expected inc many libertarians. Severance Package Mullah Mohammed Omar, the Taliban's big kahuna, is floating an idea that a lot of publishers might find tempting: Shoot a reporter and get $50,000.

Terranson sysadmin@mfn.org If Governments really want us to behave like civilized human beings, they should give serious consideration towards setting a better example: Ruling by force, rather than consensus; the unrestrained application of unjust laws (which the victim-populations were never allowed input on in the first place); the State policy of justice only for the rich and elected; the intentional abuse and occassionally destruction of entire populations merely to distract an already apathetic and numb electorate... This type of demogoguery must surely wipe out the fascist United States as surely as it wiped out the fascist Union of Soviet Socialist Republics. The views expressed here are mine, and NOT those of my employers, associates, or others. Besides, if it *were* the opinion of all of those people, I doubt there would be a problem to bitch about in the first place... --------------------------------------------------------------------

Yeah, it wasn't terrible. But it wasn't up there with the Linux Chainsaw Massacre either. -Declan
