Shout out that you're 5'10" and insist that their chart is wrong. (unless of course you ARE 5'10", then insist you're something else -- your pick) Suggest the person who put it up must've gotten ahold of some bad crack. Tell them they'd better have it corrected by the next time you come back or you're going to call the BBB. Don't forget to tell them you're just kidding at some point, or you might ruin their trip. Remember to thank them and tell them to have a nice day. Mean it, even if you get a sense they don't. "What's this obsession with thigh bones?" -- Peter LaPata, Podiatrist Greetings and welcome to ATI179. Activist Turning-Points International. SunDay May 23, 1999. It's 4:30 pm. Do you know where your politicians are? Here's the Activist Times Publisher's Column, then we have the usual letters and #'s runs. And some PAWN, and etc. Enjoy, .ati. I see and hear my God recognizes yours. Can you say the same about "your's?" Just a question. I'm watching "MOTHER THERESA: In The Name Of God's Poor." Can I tell you how weird it is to view this, tears rolling down my cheeks and every time a doorbell or phone rings at the shelter I live in and run, I see Ted Kennedy's fat shiny Oil Of Olay face on C-Span2 discussing Juvenile Crime bills whenever I hit STOP? Cough, cough, tus, tus. Sounds like old Eddie has TB. Nice glasses by the way. Do they cost more than my life? How many meals could I cook with that gorgious silk tie of yours that attempts to colorize your grey face and dark puffy eyes? How many silk ties do you own, Ted. How many coats? I don't dare say half of how I feel: I'm not allowed to judge. You point at percentages of mothers and fathers on an easle, all red, white and blue looking; looking like Ross Perot, Ted. Ted, Ted, I wish I could shake you, you're not hearing, you're not seeing, you're not asking ANY OF THE RIGHT QUESTIONS. Shut up and listen. Feed the poor Ted. Boston, Hartford, Providence Ted. Brooklyn, Worcester, Bridgeport. Feed the hungry Ted. Shut up and sell your tie. Cook a meal. You are no help thus far, Ted. Represent us! Listen to your heart. Feed the poor. If you don't have the courage to truly speak for your people, than at least have the courage to step down and let someone who can: do. That said, that expressed, I change the channel so I no longer have to watch this verbal shit every time I pause. Yuck, feck, blech. A good juvenile justice bill? Feed children free. No strings attached. But you all aren't ready for that yet, are you? Have a nice meeting you yuppie pukes! I can't recommend this movie enough, by the way, I didn't mean this as a movie review but here goes. I've cried at least 6 times now, and she hasn't even gone from Sisterhood to Motherhood yet. Holy wah. What a good movie. I didn't know she was born in Albania. She was nine when her dad died. Hmmm. Attn: NATO, take a letter. Dear England, Dear US. You desecrate Princess Diana with every smart bomb you insert into Serbia region. Can't you see this? Don't you hear? Don't you feel? Your bi-lateral genocide is not working. It accomplishes nothing but suffering and death, destruction and desecration. How many songs must I sing you before you face your demons America, England, Canada. NATO, the people calling you NAZI are bitter, they are resentful. I harbor no fear, no bitterness or resentment. Nothing but love when I tell you this. Name of God, NATO. When will the bloodshed end? How about show me one tiny sign? How about closing the SOA. How about searching your heart for a peaceful solution in Serbia, in Iraq, in Somalia, Lebanon, Timor, Tibet; in Chiapas. On the Navajo reservation. I make no distinctions, Amerika. Shame on your each and every seperation. Each bomb. Each starving human on this planet. Shame shame. Thank you, thank you, thank you. Just search, you'll find it. You're not looking hard enough. Oh and Secretary Cohen. Take a short note. You suck.

No apologies necessary. First Lady, "Hilter" R. Clinton is no different then all the other leaders of this 'male-dominated' society. The Big Mountain Sovereign Dineh Nation resistors, mostly women elders, have written numerous letters to this high government official. There was several personal but official letters that members of the Weaving for Freedom (Dineh weavers collective) sent to the First Lady, asking for her to visit the weavers homelands and witness the situation that the resistors are subjected to. The First Lady's secretarial office have responded but there was no direct response from the First Lady. However, despite all the important letters brought to her attention she chose to "preserve" asphalt-nature trails at the Grand Canyon and a rusty telescope that sits on a hill in Flagstaff, Arizona. She stopped in Flagstaff last night just to take a look at Mars and at another star. Her speech basically stated that it is most important to save every "treasure" that is endangered throughout America. Last night in Flagstaff she said, "There are many places, just like in your own back yards, that are facing endangerment. These very unqiue sites are well-documented, many have accumulated archealogical information and many of the sites still hold hundreds of artifacts. So, I just want to make all of you aware that, we should not just take this for granted." Mrs. "Hilter" R. Clinton obviously doesn't think that the last traditional society like in Big Mountain is endangered, or that it should be considered as a treasure. As Americans, I would like to suggest to you all and others to immediately write to the First Lady that she missed a natural society (that is only an 80 mile helicopter ride from Flagstaff) which needs their culture and land perserved. Tell her that she definitely knew where she was at, and her ignorance shows an overall "American mentality" of denial at the 'ethnic cleansing' that is occurring in this country. Anyway, just state to her in a kindly manner then, how I have stated my feelings. Again, thank you to all for your time.

Week #1 They don't know the definition of "Off the Record." --May 18 Warren Blum Column. http://www.greenbaynewschron.com PAGE 65! a 'zine review. I'm not going to review Cool Beans #10 in traditional way. Why? I don't feel like it. Who do you think I am, FS5? MR&R? OK, I'll say one thing - awesome! Fun to read. I more than LOL'd I laughed so loud people thought I was crazy. LOLPTYCAS (laugning out loud; people thinkin' you're crazy & shit) I'll say one more thing. Page 65. The recurring theme of that page'd have to be Hostess Twinkies. I'm not focussing on the rest of the page, just Elizabeth Karp's word-find. I usually don't find word-finds to be very fun. In fact, I've done entire Dell Books issues full of them before, usually at the beach in July, when I was a kid, and I'd finish up thinking "why'd I just do an entire Dell Book's issue of them?" But this one takes the cake. Sugar, hohos, diglycerides, leavenings: wow. No way. Whey! I'm in stitches. Cool Beans! Metaphorically speaking on a scale 1-10 where would you put Cool Beans issue 10.

CT HI MA ME MN NJ NY OR RI WI The following is a list of states which are particularly BAD for shutting down this archaic old-world cold-war tool of genocide, repression and all around bad mood.

AR GA KS KY NE NH NM OK UT Finally, here's a Prime Anarchist Poop List. I don't mean any ill will toward these human beings, just that they really suck and they'd better "change [their] evil ways," as Carlos Santana would have it. A visit by the ghosts of Genocides past, present and plu-perfect might help these dweebs vote to shut down SOA. Or they could stay poops. I'll let them remain spineless but NOT nameless.

One # up and one # down had their covers worn out within years. [ed note: as love based non-violence anarchists, the staff at ATI don't condone ruining property ever, ever, ever. But we're not stopping others from following their bliss] - Baltimore, MD. General "Uncle" Sam Scheister has retired. Effective Jan 1, 1999 the general announced his last day on the job will be Dec 31, of the same year. The 41 year old "commissioned" said this is just an early retirement and he expects little or no pension. "Who cares," said Scheister. "I'll get mine here and there. I'm a quick thinker. Basically I just had a change of heart and decided to misquote Phil Ochs, my favorite dead poet." Scheister's misquote goes "I ain't workin' anymore." Scheister announced his hand picked successor as Colonel William B. Strike from the 3rd of the 77th Calvary. He will pin his rank Dec. 30, at the end of a traditional 3-day drunken brawl and General Strike will begin the end of the year. Strike could not be reached for comment but his answering machine had this to say. "Soon to be General Strike. You know the drill. Hey that's the end of the millenium too. "Leave it at the ." Well, that's the whole of ATI issue 179. Thank you, & have a nice day. gripe to: ati@etext.org as usual...
