# ROBERTSON SAYS ASSASSINATIONS PREFERABLE TO CURRENT FOREIGN POLICY. (AP)
Christian Coalition President Pat Robertson said assassinating rogue world
leaders would be more practical than a US policy that bans such killings.
Robertson made his comments on the "700 Club," a nationally syndicated TV
show on his Christian Broadcasting Network. Idea sounds "Machiavellian and
evil," he says: http://cnn.com/ALLPOLITICS/stories/1999/08/11/robertson.ap
: Does your belief system promote assassination? Who would you like to kill?
Would you mind being assassinated for doctrinal/ideological reasons? Would
Robertson mind being assassinated by a Shi'ite, a Methodist, a Subgenius??

# Evolution demoted in Kansas. TOPEKA (AP) - Following months of debate, the
Kansas Board of Education approved a set of education standards that makes
no reference to evolution, a theory that living things evolved from ear-
lier species. Tho the proposed standards never mentioned it, creationism -
the belief that a higher power created the universe - became part of the
debate. http://www.infobeat.com/stories/cgi/story.cgi?id=2560671676-0fa

: Were you created, evolved, hatched, planted? Would you rather evolve into
something better, or be made just as you are with no chance of improvement?

# Virtual natural selection. (BBC) Scientists have built a virtual world
inside a computer and filled it with "digital bugs" to test theories in
evolutionary biology. And creationist strategies continue to evolve.

: Are your theories testable? Do you require testing? Is validation irrelev-
ant? Are your thoughts evolving? Is time proceeding? Are you left behind??

# Unusual Weather Causes Utah Twister. (ABC) A jet of cold air above Utah
spawned Wednesday's deadly tornado that touched down in Salt Lake City.
Only one or two tornadoes are seen in Utah a year, and no one had killed
by a tornado there since at least 1950. Secret military tests caused it:
http://abcnews.go.com/sections/science/DailyNews/tornadocause990811.html
: Have you spawned any tornadoes lately? Is it fun? Do your weather control
experiments regularly ravage countrysides? Are you refining your technique?

# Researcher makes cheaper fuel cell. (AP) A researcher says he has made an
experimental fuel cell that is simpler than others as it runs on natural
gas instead of pure hydrogen. If it can be repeated on a large scale, the
finding would make it cheaper to produce a type of fuel cell that may one
day be common as a low-pollution power source for buildings. See

: Do Grays use cheap low-pollution fuel cells to power their UFOs? Is this
another Roswell spinoff technology? Are crop circles alien fuel cell plans?

before the end of World War II. http://www.kcna.co.jp/contents/08.htm#4

# Aging Stars Gobble Nearby Planets. (Reuters) Like gluttons whose hunger
increases with age, some older stars similar to our own sun gobble up
giant planets and other celestial bodies orbiting nearby. Call Jenny

: Are you a fat old star? Do you gobble up nearby bodies? Do the voices in
your head make you do it? Are you out of control? Is it natural? Is it fun?

@ EMP Gun: The Chupacabras of Infowar. (Time) Said to be capable of corrup-
ting computer circuitry on corporate networks with ionizing radiation,
microwaves or radio waves, the EMP gun strikes from afar even as secre-
taries labor at their desks. The only sticking point is that no one has
actually produced one for public examination. Or are blackouts evidence?
