O Y E C O M O V A We'll see how this goes. I'm using NoteTab Light for a text editor today. And "why" you might ask when I'm so endeared to Notepad.exe (tm)? Well, perhaps the (tm) part.

"Linger not, stranger; shed no tear; Go back to those who sent us here. We are the young they drafted out To wars their folly brought about. Go tell those old men, safe in bed, We took their orders and are dead." A.D. Hope (I think) -- Matt/Moby ```````````````````````````````````` '''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''' ```````````````````````````````````` PUBLISHER'S COLUMN I finally figured out what bothers me so much about Mozart's compositions. Triplets. Overuse of triplets. Just like Kenny G. Well, here's a new issue of ATI 'Zine. Hope you like it. We've got poetry, music, all kinds of stuff. The usual letters, numbers. You know the drill. Enjoy! OK, you ready? I was reading an article someone published about environmental illnesses, and health issues regarding the newest version of Capitalism that our United States is fast morphing into. Since it was in an interactive newspaper, I had the pleasure of replying with the following. Thought I'd share it with you. For the past two years I've been filtering my tap water. Coffee, rice, soups, lemonade. Everything. I have to filter my water now or I get ill. If I buy artesian spring water I'm the healthiest for two or three days straight, but I seldom can afford the $1.20 or so per gallon for drinking water. So I have found that I'm my most totally ill drinking from the tap, somewhat ill whenever I need a new filter but can't afford one yet, much better with a brand new filter and I'm at my best while drinking water that has nothing to do with my own local groundwater. Scientists who aren't bought out by the Rand Corporation or the CIA will tell you that there's much too much chlorine in my citywater, and the pesticide runoff from the local farms surrounding this city is mixing to provide chloroform, which apparently commercial filters can only remove portions of. But I'm sure that's only one part of the whole. At any rate, I filter my water now or I get really sick. And for your begging question, I'm sure -- I'll tell you -- we're talking dizziness, diarrhea, rectal bleeding, stomach ulcers, vomiting, chills and other flu symptoms without the fever. Yeah, and backpain to boot. Oh, and four times in the last four years about a 2 inch patch of hair has fallen off both my wrists overnight and then grown back over a month or two, left wrist first, then the right wrist. Yes, it grows back evenly with all the other arm-hair as if it had never fallen out in the first place. If I sound nonchalant about it, it's only because it's happened to me three other times before. I am right now seeing stubble on my right wrist getting bigger and bigger, wheras my left wrist has all the hair fully grown back. I was definitely not easy-going the first time! I looked around my pillow and bed furiously to see where the hair might have gone. Did it just burn off into the air? I'll never know. So this is some real shit, man. I feel like I'm in the middle of a scene from "Jacob's Ladder." I wouldn't complain much, but here's the rub. If I simply switched my lifestyle a little so I can afford about $2900 a year in artesian spring water, I'm pretty sure I'd see every one of these symptoms go away as if they'd never come. Problem is not only am I unable to afford THAT, the reason I get into trouble is that the lifestyle I've chosen over the last 14 years or so, (simplifying life down to consuming about 80% less than I did in my late teens and early 20s for the sake of the environment) paying $8 a month for a Brita filter happens to be my third largest regular expense. I'm definitely the canary in your coalmine. By the time all of you get out of denial, I'll either be dead, or will have figured something holistic out that forces me to become a capitalist slave to just so that I can attempt to get it out to all of you sorry-ass louts. Oh, and one last thing. You bet your bippy, pResident George "W" Bush has an environmental illness. He's environmentally retarded. marco ```````````````````````````````````` '''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''' ```````````````````````````````````` Do That Thing You Do: SPOUT THE NUMBERS! http://www.psiu.mus.br http://www.bad-candy.com/tigereye http://www.hozomeen.org/insurrection http://www.mackido.com/Humor/mouseballs.html http://www.commercialalert.org/sesame_street.html http://flag.blackened.net/ati/opm/lovemeimaliberal2.mp3 http://www.indymedia.org:8081/front.php3?article_id=138338 http://www.asile.org/citoyens/numero13/pentagone/erreurs_en.htm http://directory.google.com/Top/Computers/Internet/Domain_Names/Disputed_Domain_Names http://www-hoover.stanford.edu/main/uncommon/winter98/205.html http://www.thirdworldtraveler.com/TWTwebsite_INDEX.html http://flag.blackened.net/daver/pics/sprint_enron.jpg http://www.aimoo.com/forum/freeboard.cfm?id=321122 http://www.thisbrightapocalypse.com/linksound.html http://www.brown.edu/Students/SSC/altmedia3.html http://www.satirewire.com/news/jan02/axis.shtml http://www.geocities.com/Yosemite/Trails/1942 http://www.radio4all.net/proginfo.php?id=3977 http://www.blin.com.ua/c.asp?r8u8w491574987 http://www.pcisys.net/~drmforge/map160.htm http://www.phreaker.org/text/newtext/007.txt http://www.mindspring.com/~fragments/links.html http://nopause.berkeley.edu/latuff/Latuff_pro-semitic.jpg http://www.indymedia.org:8081/front.php3?article_id=140655 http://www.progressive.org/0901/intv0202.html http://www.mackido.com/Humor/mouseballs.html http://www.psiu.mus.br/entrevistas.php?id=6 http://www.rand.org/publications/MR/MR1382 http://adap2k.freeservers.com/michael.htm \http://www.nmt.edu/~schlake/daily.html http://www.poetix.net/autry_feb.htm http://www.paradigmshift-zine.com http://www.giver.com.mx/tjimc http://www.liquid-lounge.org http://www.dharmawalk.org http://hypodermic.net __________ "There she goes, Miss America..." __________ L E T T U C E to ati@etext.org: Found your VERY old post about not knowing who to credit for this song...

I'm paraphrasing Howard K. Smith quoting Edmund Burke. He was canned for making that statement. In 1961, he narrated a CBS special about the civil rights movement. Author Stanley Cloud says Smith wanted to end the broadcast with the Edmund Burke quote, "All that is necessary for the triumph of evil is for good men to do nothing." Cloud says then-CBS Chairman William Paley objected, Smith disagreed and Paley fired him. [ref]=[http://abcnews.go.com/sections/us/DailyNews/smith_obit020218.html] Maybe a good start for kicking evil's ass is for corporate media types to risk getting fired again. Wouldn't that be a fresh and new seeming idea these days? (of course you'd risk the wrath of George W Bush's Patriot act now, wouldn't you? Hmmm. Against all odds. Like a well paid Davie versus Goliath. Go for it.) HOW PEOPLE BEHAVE: THINGS THEY SAY AND DO One day Henry Kissinger came to the meeting late, and everyone had to wait. Now mind you, this is not a meeting of the Supreme Court, where law prescribes where everybody sits, according to seniority. The National Security Council, at least at that time, met in an office in the White House, wit-in an oak table and some drapes and some maps, but no electronic flashing boards or anything like that. People sat around the great big table, with the staffers sitting in an outer ring of chairs so they could lean forward to advise their individual masters. Often staffers were not present when sensitive decisions were being made. The Secretary of Defense plopped down in a chair to talk to somebody while we waited for Kissinger, and then Kissinger came steaming in and he told the Secretary of Defense, "I am here. We can go to work. Move down to your chair." To which the Secretary of Defense replied, "Well, I am all spread out here. You sit there today." And Kissinger said, "No, I am the Secretary of State, this is my chair. You sit down there." They proceeded to argue like five-year-olds for about five minutes. Eventually the Secretary of Defense would not move, and Kissinger had to go sit down at the far end of the table, but he turned his back on the briefings and sulked. He wouldn't pay attention to what we were saying that day because he couldn't have his chair-and we were making decisions that were getting people killed in Angola. I am not exaggerating that incident one bit. John Stockwell from his book entitled: "Praetorian Guard: The U.S. Role in the New World Order." AND NOW FOR A FAIRLY UNDERDEVELOPED THOUGHT.

Security is downright _MEAN_, laws have been written, programs are better, etc. I would not trade for anything, the memories I have, nor the friends I have made over the years pursuing my "hobby". Today though, things are changing so rapidly that I sadly, cannot even hope to keep up with it all. To me at least, the telephone system will always remain a most interesting beast.

We can directly communicate back and forth around the planet at any emotional depth, and really liquidate whatever conflicts and blockages we suffer from in a way that was never possible before. Now not only can we think globally and act locally, we can feel globally and act locally, which in time will make a lovely difference. http://stations.mp3s.com/stations/263/drop_dead_gorgeous_valentines_.html I left Calcutta in 1908.
