It is reported that VT killer Cho had once stalked a campus girl and that he was arrested but that she refused to press charges. Had she pressed charges, do you think that could have had some effect on him? Could it have led to him being evaluated and put in a better position that he had been in to get help? As such, do you feel that the girl who refused to press charges contributed to the horrible events at VT?

The point is that there are *already* almost three hundred million guns in America, owned by almost 80 million people. And that's just the *registered* guns. Forget the liberal claptrap like, We should just get rid of the guns. That's bullshit. Tell us HOW you intend to get rid of the guns. I'll wait. Every gun owner I know in the U.S. *already* has plans for how to hide their guns in the event of a government recall of them. They *already* have phony sales certificates proving that they sold the good guns at a legal private auction, and they have spare guvmint guns that aren't worth a damn that they could turn over to the cops without missing them. The real guns, the ones they intend to hold onto NO MATTER WHAT THEIR GUVMINT SAYS, will be safely stashed somewhere long before any- one comes to the door asking for them. And these are...gawd help me...decent, law-abiding citizens. We're talking doctors and lawyers and schoolteachers and musicians and computer scientists and divinity students and other such low-lives. Now think about all of the millions of *unregistered* guns in the hands of people who are *not* quite so decent and law-abiding. How're you going to even find those guns, much less get rid of them? So, next time anyone spouts a bunch of idiocy like, What we need to do is get rid of the guns, you turn to the idiot and say, HOW? And then wait. They'll never get back to you with an answer, because THEY DON'T HAVE ONE. They're just talking through their hats. The American love affair with their guns is older and far more powerful than any of the half-witted liberal suggestions for how to end it. It's just not a solve- able problem ON THE LEVEL OF THE GUNS. The guns are here to stay. There is nothing the government of the United States could do TO round them up. Can't ever happen. So any solution to the gun problem has to be on the level of dealing with the people who *use* these guns to kill other people. Me, I don't *know* what would work. The gun owners are frightened people, and they are much more afraid of the things they think they need their guns for than they are of the laws that might land them in jail for keeping them or carrying them. If someone passed a law that would put them in jail for 20 years for using a gun in self defense, they would keep their guns and carry them anyway. It's a HORRIBLE problem. And, like most horrible problems, it doesn't have any simple answer. Those who keep saying that there *are* simple answers are making themselves appear simple by saying it.

And thats what I mean: I wasn't serious.

There is nothing to much comment about it, but of course you are welcome ;-) Its just live. Its not logical. The most peace-loving gets shot by the crazy man who doesn't understand his message. You cannot prevent this, and no army of peace-inspired writers. Now, to diametrically oppose the Buddha with the message of the Gita may still be okay, but this is a little bit harder when it comes to Mahatma Gandhi, who actually said that his message was inspired totally by the Gita, you might want to actually READ what he said, (as you are a writer, according to your own admission, it would be good to study him a little). This is what Gandhi had to say about the Gita: Hinduism as I know it entirely satisfies my soul, fills my whole being ... When doubts haunt me, when disappointments stare me in the face, and when I see not one ray of light on the horizon, I turn to the Bhagavad Gita, and find a verse to comfort me; and I immediately begin to smile in the midst of overwhelming sorrow. My life has been full of tragedies and if they have not left any visible and indelible effect on me, I owe it to the teachings of the Bhagavad Gita. He actually wrote a commentary on the Gita in Gujarati, which was translated into english: http://www.amazon.com/Bhagavad-Gita-According-Gandhi/dp/1893163113 I think your interpretation of the Gita is onesided and out of focus. That Buddha didn't get shot too, is IMHO unly due to the fact that automatic fire weapons weren't envogue at the time (they were invented later - for a reason - which was?) and he probably had strong bodyguards, who must have saved him from all the violent Arjunas of his time. ;-)

Gandhi was inspirational because he defeated the world power of his age with NON- VIOLENCE! Right on! And we couldn't use the example of Gandhi, a Martin Luther King or a Buddha or Jesus Christ if you want to defend the right of Americans to carry fire weapons. Also the logic here is somewhat absurd: If guns don't kill, why have them in the first place? If knifes are just as dangerous, why not be satisfied of equipping yourself with a knife? Or let's spin this a little further: If the means to destruction (knifes, guns, bombs) aren't really essential in your mind, why get all upset about other countries (Iran, N.Korea) going nuclear. Just make sure their leaders get inspired by Gandhi etc. The whole shock of 911 was due to the fact that there wasn't just an Arab with a knife running around in NYC, but that there was a well organized plan, in which a fully fueled airplane was used as a flying bomb. Of course the means of destruction do matter: Thats why automatic weapons were invented in the first place, because the one who had them could win wars with it. They are just a more effective means of killing, and therefore they present also a bigger danger to the public. If Americans really thought that having guns can protect them against their government going berserk, why not allow them to have private tanks in their gardens, or organize themselves into paramilitaric armies. The equation will be: effectiveness of weapon = greater danger to the public But returning to the US scenario - I CAN'T see any justification for people holding on to arms. They would NOT stop an undemocratic coup or restore democracy through violence. Governments these days are just TOO powerful. Couldn't agree more.

Re: [FairfieldLife] Re: AMERICA PRAYS/AMERICA INVINCIBILITY REALITY CHECK
Dear friends, ( I WOULD APPRICIATE MORE OF A RESPONSE FROM THOSE WHO HAVE BEEN INVOLVED WITH THE TMO AND TM OR AFFILIATED GROUPS SUCH AS SSRS). I have and still am convinced that the ME works. As I have stated in the past we would need at least 1,000 practitioners in each state of America to create this effect. MMY and John Haeglin are dreaming if they think that 1,800 Sidha's will solve the problems of America. Today we mourn for the victims of Virginia Tech. I will do a puja today for the families and friends of those who have been murdered. Just in the month of April we have had a Tsunami that hit the Solomon islands, tornado's that hit the Midwest and southeast states showing high tornado activity, racial comments from Imus who got fired, the largest mass murder in American history by a college student, a noreaster that caused considerable flooding ( the last one to hit in April of this size was 25 years ago), 140 Iraqi's blown up around the same time the college students got killed and unseasonable weather patters throughout April with lower than normal temperatures. Keep in mind that since the America Invincibility started a young man killed his parents and siblings in Iowa, a man stops at an Amish school in PA and kills several children execution stile and the president decides to send more troops to Iraq to continue the war. Many of you might say, well what about the positive. According to MMY and Dr John Hagelin we should be experiencing minimal violence and balanced weather patters. It is obviously not the case. My advise to both MMY and Dr. John Hagelin is to let the 326 Sidha's who have been not allowed access to the dome to fly with them. Also, asking the TM meditators to come and join in America Invincibility with as much fever as they use to promote the Sidha community. The quick fix attitude that MMY has by not emphasizing the meditators roll in the peace process has turned many people off. An organization cannot save the world it is the people within the organization who can. My predictions regarding the planet Pluto are coming true. Go to _Astrological Varieties_ (http://www.yogavisionaries.com/) and click predictions for 2007. Regardless of how people will judge my work on this forum I am on target. I am predicting the passing over of MMY in July or August of this year. July 7, 16 and Guru Purnama on the 28 or 29 depending on what system of astrology you follow. I don't have any dates for August and feel July is the month. If not July it will be August. This passing over is very positive for it pushes everyone who has been lazy and insecure about thinking for themselves to come to some final conclusions about our family and families that have been effected by MMY and the TMO. It will do further damage to an organization that should have listened to some of the advise from others over the years. A holy war will begin between the leaders of MMY organization and further damage will be done within the organization and the positive side of this is other organizations who represent spiritual flexibility will grow and other new groups will form to carry on with the natural tendency of nature to expand. As spiritual communities continue to seek the Guru's permission to grow on the path to enlightenment remember this- YOU ARE THE TEACHERS OF THE WORLD. A few Guru's from India keep the planet alive but we must gather together on our own when the Guru is not in town and sit together in silence. Silence is the most powerful form of creating world peace at the present time. The Aquarian age is about groups coming together not isolating yourselves in your own private homes. Try to move beyond your own personal feelings of what you want (even from the Guru) and think about the family of humanity. Love and Light.

Silence is the most powerful form of creating world peace at the present time. The Aquarian age is about groups coming together not isolating yourselves in your own private homes. Try to move beyond your own personal feelings of what you want (even from the Guru) and think about the family of humanity. Love and Light.

[FairfieldLife] Re: Thanks, Edg, but no thanks Edg.
t3rinity, Thanks for the support -- meaning, my outer validation addiction still holds sway over me, sigh. T.S. Elliot spoke of the three voices of poetry; here, I'm doing mostly one voice -- assuming a familiarity with spirituality in the reader and then I riff. I don't so much write only for myself or for a general audience. I'm a world class narcissist, and it shows, so that triggers some folks -- and, hooray, that gives God a chance to snipe at my ego via their comments and sandpaper off the veneer of small self that beclouds my soul. But, nonetheless, I give myself a lot of permission to just have fun when I write. I know I ramble, but I'm writing for the pleasure of seeing it manifest -- each new thought is miraculous to me. It's like my mind is doing a stand up routine, and I'm sitting in a front row seat, and if something's good I stand up and tell the rest of the audience (my readers) what I just heard. If anyone laughs, my ego bows in plagiaristic glee. I'm a lazy poet, so I do prose with mini-poems in them, I pepper my stuff with a few words here or there that challenge the reader have to have intuitive resonance with me -- to divine my references. The words are merely good excuses for the reader to project meanings of their own, and if I get a report back that indicates that the reader and I shared, my ego's generally deluded and loves it, but, bottom line: it's synchrony not communication. If synchrony happens, I am surprised, delighted, and, ever so yep, for at least a few seconds my ego purrs as loudly as you'd expect from a guy with six planets in Leo. There, my cat's out of the bag. Given my ego, there's a palpable chance that I will get insulted and take off, burn my bridge here. If so, if someone gets to me, shame on me -- after all, if I'm going to let my pampered little snit prance in public like an organ grinder's monkey, I should at least be able to take some folks' finger pointing and laughing at me, eh? But show me a Leo who can take the least besmirching without immediately bellowing a roar of denial. I'm cursed by the Zodiac!

Prohibition attempts are a study in human creativity and flexibility. Blocking imported weed created an outdoor growing industry in the states. Going after outdoor weed crops created the still booming indoor growing primo bud industry. Shut down meth labs in the Midwest? No problem, now it is coming over the border in tractor trailers from both northern and southern borders. (purer quality too) Nature just hates a vacuum. We used to have certain streets in DC where hookers would stand around. They put in an ordinance that prevented people from from turning right on those streets so it was harder for people to cruse by and shop for some tender lov'n STDs. So now we have brothels in the suburbs, even in classy neighborhoods. It is so much more convenient plus it is easier to hide your human slave girls from Eastern Europe in big houses. Cuts the pimps overhead and improves the bottom line. Eastern Euro slave chicks are really hot if you can overlook the haunted look of human despair in their eyes. (I recommend meth ) Cops in DC had a money for guns program till they figured out the kind of guns people where selling them, the ones they never use because they are broken. That way they could take the money from the broken gun sale an buy a piece that could sling some lead for reeal. While people are busy getting rid of drugs, hookers and guns I was wondering if they could also get rid of that last five pounds that is keeping me from my 6 pack abs.

They would NOT stop an undemocratic coup or restore democracy through violence. Governments these days are just TOO powerful. Couldn't agree more. I agree, too, but that's not the point. The point is that there are *already* almost three hundred million guns in America, owned by almost 80 million people. And that's just the *registered* guns. Forget the liberal claptrap like, We should just get rid of the guns. That's bullshit. Tell us HOW you intend to get rid of the guns. I'll wait. Every gun owner I know in the U.S. *already* has plans for how to hide their guns in the event of a government recall of them. They *already* have phony sales certificates proving that they sold the good guns at a legal private auction, and they have spare guvmint guns that aren't worth a damn that they could turn over to the cops without missing them. The real guns, the ones they intend to hold onto NO MATTER WHAT THEIR GUVMINT SAYS, will be safely stashed somewhere long before any- one comes to the door asking for them. And these are...gawd help me...decent, law-abiding citizens. We're talking doctors and lawyers and schoolteachers and musicians and computer scientists and divinity students and other such low-lives. Now think about all of the millions of *unregistered* guns in the hands of people who are *not* quite so decent and law-abiding. How're you going to even find those guns, much less get rid of them? So, next time anyone spouts a bunch of idiocy like, What we need to do is get rid of the guns, you turn to the idiot and say, HOW? And then wait. They'll never get back to you with an answer, because THEY DON'T HAVE ONE. They're just talking through their hats. The American love affair with their guns is older and far more powerful than any of the half-witted liberal suggestions for how to end it. It's just not a solve- able problem ON THE LEVEL OF THE GUNS. The guns are here to stay. There is nothing the government of the United States could do TO round them up. Can't ever happen. So any solution to the gun problem has to be on the level of dealing with the people who *use* these guns to kill other people. Me, I don't *know* what would work. The gun owners are frightened people, and they are much more afraid of the things they think they need their guns for than they are of the laws that might land them in jail for keeping them or carrying them. If someone passed a law that would put them in jail for 20 years for using a gun in self defense, they would keep their guns and carry them anyway. It's a HORRIBLE problem. And, like most horrible problems, it doesn't have any simple answer. Those who keep saying that there *are* simple answers are making themselves appear simple by saying it.

Nope, wrong on both counts. Gun *control* (as opposed to a gun ban) doesn't infringe on the 2nd Amendment.

If gun control and advocating that a non-governmental entity not publishing a photograph are not tentative steps I don't know what is. Perhaps you should think about it a little more, then.

They are just a more effective means of killing, and therefore they present also a bigger danger to the public. If Americans really thought that having guns can protect them against their government going berserk, why not allow them to have private tanks in their gardens, or organize themselves into paramilitaric armies. The equation will be: effectiveness of weapon = greater danger to the public But returning to the US scenario - I CAN'T see any justification for people holding on to arms. They would NOT stop an undemocratic coup or restore democracy through violence. Governments these days are just TOO powerful. Couldn't agree more. **end** An armed citizenry using only small arms to defend itself against a larger and far better equipped armed force can be quite effective. The example of Iraq speaks volumes to how effective that can be and how devastating and costly to the greater military force that attempts to subdue such an armed populace; Afghanistan during the Soviet occupation is another. Feisty people with guns, even small arms, are a real problem to overreaching governments, whether they be foreign or domestic. Whatever rational and reasonable arguments there may be about or against gun ownership and easy availability of firearms in the US, the 2d Amend. clearly posits an armed citizenry as a deterent to government overreaching and tyranny. Power unchecked inevitably leads to the abuse of power. You can't get rid of guns in the US because that genie is already out of the bottle. I believe that the framers of the US Constitution cleary envisaged that eventuality and the need for it. The reason why the private citizen can't have weapons with even greater firepower is because once government power is established, even a government founded by revolution, it begins to consolidate its control and power over the citizenry and the government has attempted to restrict weaponry as much as it can. That's what the framers saw as an inherent problem with government and the 2d Amend. was articulated right at the beginning of the Bill of Rights as a check, if not a cure, to that issue.

Interestingly, I hear that a couple of brothels in Amsterdam tried that, and nobody wanted the women. Complete washout. And I suspect the reason is that look of despair you're talking about. Even the tourists noticed it. Most of the women in the sex industry (hey! that's what they call it) in Amsterdam are independents. Raised Dutch, with few inhibitions about sex, many of them look at it as a ten-year gig that they can retire from with enough money so that they never have to work again for the rest of their lives. And for many of them, that is exactly how it turns out. I know a few of them, who now live in Spain in their own houses and are retired at 33. Go figure. But there are the hard cases, too. The women who got into drugs, or who are just *into* being abused. You get a lot of that in Amsterdam. Heavy SM scene. And they have a bit of that look in their eyes, too. Not to the extent that someone kidnapped from their country or sold into slavery by their parents would have, but it's still a sad, world-weary look that I, for one, would never be able to get past. (I recommend meth ) Exactly. Anyone who *could* get past that look would probably enjoy meth. Cops in DC had a money for guns program till they figured out the kind of guns people where selling them, the ones they never use because they are broken. Yup. Same thing in New Mexico. They'd find a rusted- out old Winchester with no collector value and get 100 bucks for it at the police station. They wouldn't have been able to get 5 at a pawn shop. That way they could take the money from the broken gun sale an buy a piece that could sling some lead for reeal. Sadly, it might be true. When I was young, I lived for a time in El Paso, Texas and grew up around gun nuts. They infected me for a while, and I freely admit to having owned guns at one point in my life. Heck, I even found a used Ruger 22-caliber rifle at a gun show one day and bought it just to see if I convert it to full auto as easily as my friends said I could. It took me less than two hours, and I had a machine gun. I took it out in the desert and ripped off a few 50-shot clips then looked at the boxes of empty ammunition at my feet and at the receipt for them still in the bag, and I sold the gun the next day. Neither of the gun sales was ever official or tracked by any law enforcement agency. I was 17. It's a big problem. It's not an easily-solved problem. While people are busy getting rid of drugs, hookers and guns I was wondering if they could also get rid of that last five pounds that is keeping me from my 6 pack abs. (alright its ten, so shoot me) Unfortunately, approximately 100 million Americans are able to do just that. Ain't it just heartbreaking, the level of FEAR that people must live with on a daily basis to really *get into* guns? I know a fellow who is one of the sweetest guys you could ever meet.

As such, do you feel that the girl who refused to press charges contributed to the horrible events at VT? Yes , her compassion, if that is what it was, backfired. Actually, there were at least two stalking incidents reported to the campus police. After the second one, one of Cho's roommates called the police again to report that Cho was talking about committing suicide. At that point he was taken by police to an outpatient psychiatric facility for evaluation, but legally they couldn't do more than hold a few counseling sessions and prescribe some medication. They urged him to continue counseling, but he refused. The point being that he was in the best possible position to get help but wouldn't take advantage of it. It isn't at all clear whether the woman pressing charges would have made a difference. He then managed to stay under the radar until the rampage. Even his roommates didn't have any further warning that he was going to blow, even when they saw him that very morning, and by that time he'd apparently been planning the shooting for at least a month. It is amazing that the law enforcement in Virginia handled this with such stupidity. I have a feeling that after the funeral is over many parents will be questioning why after two students had been murdered on campus the first person they would have thought of is Cho. After all he is the only student who had records with the police station for unusual behavior. They called it an isolated incident and let the classes continue as normal. They should have had an immediate lookout for Cho and told all of the students classes are canceled and to go home. A very poor handling by law enforcement. I predict law suits will follow after the funeral is over and that the hired body of private investigators will cover the Virginia police departments ass.

[FairfieldLife] Fwd: RECONSTRUCTING THE WORLD
-- Original Message -- Received: Thu, 19 Apr 2007 11:56:29 AM PDT From: Development Office development @ mum.edu Subject: RECONSTRUCTING THE WORLD RECONSTRUCTING THE WORLD For Immediate Release April 19, 2007 Contact: Steven Yellin 641-470-1344 [GLOBAL FINANCIAL CAPITAL OF NEW YORK] http://gfcny.net 70 Broad Street, New York, NY 10004 212-809-7000 (T) 212-809-7001 (F) [EMAIL PROTECTED] PRESS RELEASE Report on the Global Conference on Reconstructing the World UN, Government Leaders Offered Comprehensive Program to Eliminate Problems through Vedic Architecture and City Planning in Harmony with Natural Law To Bring Health, Good Fortune, and Invincibility to the Nation (NEW YORK) Governments can eliminate at least 50 percent of the problems of disease, conflict, and negativity in their countries by reconstructing the homes, offices, and government buildings in the nation according to the science of Vedic architecture in harmony with Natural Law. Such a program of national reconstruction will maximize the happiness, health, and fortune of the peopleand create a peaceful, prosperous nation. This was the bold message delivered by Dr. John Hagelin, executive director of the International Center for Invincible Defense, and Dr. Eike Hartmann, Minister of Global Reconstruction of the Global Country of World Peace, during the Global Conference on Reconstructing the World. The conference was held on Friday, April 13, at the Global Financial Capital of New York, 70 Broad Street, in Manhattan, and was broadcast internationally via satellite and Internet webcast. (See www.GFCNY.net http://www.gfcny.net for a replay of the conference and a schedule of upcoming conferences.) Maharishi Mahesh Yogi, the founder of the Global Country of World Peace, delivered the concluding address to the conference and called on government leaders to immediately adopt the reconstruction programs and end the suffering and misfortune of their people (see page 3). Maharishi spoke to the conference via satellite from the Capital of the Global Country of World Peace in Meru, Holland. The conference was the second in a series of six global conferences being held this month, which highlight the six programs of the Global Financial Capital of New York to eliminate poverty and raise every nation to a high level of health, prosperity, and invincibility. Vedic architecture is architecture in harmony with Natural Law According to Dr. Hagelin, a world-renowned quantum physicist, Vedic architecture is architecture in harmony with Natural Law. Natural Law administers the infinite diversity of the ever-expanding universe with perfect order. Natural Law has its ultimate origin in the Unified Fieldthe Constitution of the Universe. This is the foundational level of Natural Law, which governs the self-interacting dynamics of unity at the basis of all diversity. Constructing a buildingor structuring a cityin accordance with these fundamental laws, as codified in the mathematical prescripts of Vedic architecture, will bring perfect order and unrestricted progress to the people and to the nation as a whole, Dr. Hagelin said. Maharishi Vedic Architecture promotes fortune-creating buildings Dr. Hartmann, who oversees the global reconstruction programs of the Global Financial Capital of New York in 100 countries, said that Vedic architecture has been brought to light by Maharishi from the ancient Vedic literature. Maharishi Vedic Architecture provides the complete knowledge of proper orientation, placement, and proportion needed to construct fortune-creating buildings, cities, and entire nations. People do not commonly understand that a great deal of suffering, anxiety, sickness, and negativity is due to the wrong orientation of buildings and offices., Dr. Hartmann said. Dr. Hartmann cited extensive scientific research showing that the human brain is highly sensitive to orientation. Research confirms that the firing patterns of neurons in the thalamus of the brain are altered by the direction an individual is facing. When an individual faces east, the brain physiology functions differently than when the same individual faces north, south, or west, Dr. Hartmann said. This means that the quality of brain functioningand therefore the quality of thoughtdepends upon the direction an individual is facing. So when an individual lives or works in a building with wrong orientation, it produces physiological, psychological and behavioral imbalances. Dr. Hartmann said that the program to reconstruct the world offered by the Global Financial Capital of New York will provide the proper eastern orientation, as well as proper placement and proportion, to all buildings to promote the balance, health, and happiness of the individual and society. As the first step, Dr. Hartmann called on government leaders to immediately demolish all improperly oriented government buildingswhere decisions are made that impact the destiny of the whole
[FairfieldLife] Re: Guns don't kill people, the lack of guns kill people
Ain't it just heartbreaking, the level of FEAR that people must live with on a daily basis to really *get into* guns? I know a fellow who is one of the sweetest guys you could ever meet. You'd like him...he's a musician, and a pretty good one. Guitars, keyboards, the whole tamale. Got a wife, couple of kids. Started life as a Divinity student and almost became a preacher. Owns over 30 guns. He's one of the ones I mentioned in the previous posts who already has plans for how he's going to hide the guns when they come looking for them. I only am responding to this part but there were many great lines. In particular I could use the address of chicks who are retired at 33 in Spain and who made a living making men happy. I have a theory that I want to test. I went through a few thought processes on the gun part. At first I thought that it seems a little harsh because I know some people who are into shooting as a sport and it is more like the zen of archery. The little target shooting I did a while back was very interesting physically. I had to learn how to totally relax and squeeze the trigger with no anticipatory flinch as a loud explosion happened in my hand. (don't even go there Turq, I know how you think!) The guys who were good at it were really cool cookies, very disciplined and self-contained, like being in CC but with hollow points if you know what I mean. So on on one level this is a sport like archery and it requires an amazing amount of practice to get really good at it. It is kind of addictive to beat your own previous scores. Some collector types get a rush from adding an exotic new version of gun and I'm not sure it is any different from my unquenchable desire to own more guitars. When I first started studying Brazilian Jiu-jitsu I noticed that I felt calmer around guys in business situations who would try to use anger to get their way. They wouldn't get my inner primal monkey riled up. It made me calmer and more relaxed. But on the other hand, after I dislocated my shoulder (actually it was a hefty Japanese judoki who did it for me) I noticed that over time I stopped thinking about people attacking me. I hadn't realized how often the defensive thought process would come up in public places. ( I spend a lot of time in public restrooms doing research on my upcoming book on George Michael) I stopped assessing guys while shaking their hands which had become automatic from years of grabbing a new guy in class and evaluating how much trouble it was going to be. It mostly faded away. I definitely did feel less anxiety caused by my sport being a version of controlled ass-kicking. I also know guys who are practically begging for the social order to break down. Armed to the teeth, they point to Bosnia where ordinary people where plunged into Mad Max's reality overnight. Africa has plenty of examples. So could it happen here? Couple dirty bombs, a little social chaos from some anthrax Christmas cards, and I guess it might happen. But if I have to load up my closet with ammo and powdered milk like they do, I am probably not gunna run my dog in this race. My closet is already too full of tin foil undergarments to help block the CIA mind control rays that emanate from the Pentagon. --- In FairfieldLife@yahoogroups.com, TurquoiseB [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: --- In FairfieldLife@yahoogroups.com, curtisdeltablues curtisdeltablues@ wrote: Prohibition attempts are a study in human creativity and flexibility.

Re: [FairfieldLife] Re: Guns don't kill people, the lack of guns kill people
Please, look at CNN video news in the CNN website called Bearing Arms. It talks about gun law in Israel. Israel is one of the most violent places on earth, and though it is not easy to get a gun. The gun laws are similar to almost any other civil place in the world: months of paper work, multiple security clearance, valid reasons to get one, background checks and so on. The results: about 100 homicides in a year in a population of 7 millions, in contrast in Houston in the same time period the homicides were about 200 in a town with a population that 30 % the population of Israel. That is just one of the city in USA. You can reproduce such calculations everywhere in the industrialized world and find out over and over and over the same results. Guns kill people and the presence of more guns kills even more people. It is a fact, no discussion about.

Interestingly, I hear that a couple of brothels in Amsterdam tried that, and nobody wanted the women. Complete washout. And I suspect the reason is that look of despair you're talking about. Even the tourists noticed it. Most of the women in the sex industry (hey! that's what they call it) in Amsterdam are independents. Raised Dutch, with few inhibitions about sex, many of them look at it as a ten-year gig that they can retire from with enough money so that they never have to work again for the rest of their lives. And for many of them, that is exactly how it turns out. I know a few of them, who now live in Spain in their own houses and are retired at 33. Go figure. But there are the hard cases, too. The women who got into drugs, or who are just *into* being abused. You get a lot of that in Amsterdam. Heavy SM scene. And they have a bit of that look in their eyes, too. Not to the extent that someone kidnapped from their country or sold into slavery by their parents would have, but it's still a sad, world-weary look that I, for one, would never be able to get past. (I recommend meth ) Exactly. Anyone who *could* get past that look would probably enjoy meth. Cops in DC had a money for guns program till they figured out the kind of guns people where selling them, the ones they never use because they are broken. Yup. Same thing in New Mexico. They'd find a rusted- out old Winchester with no collector value and get 100 bucks for it at the police station. They wouldn't have been able to get 5 at a pawn shop. That way they could take the money from the broken gun sale an buy a piece that could sling some lead for reeal. Sadly, it might be true. When I was young, I lived for a time in El Paso, Texas and grew up around gun nuts. They infected me for a while, and I freely admit to having owned guns at one point in my life. Heck, I even found a used Ruger 22-caliber rifle at a gun show one day and bought it just to see if I convert it to full auto as easily as my friends said I could. It took me less than two hours, and I had a machine gun. I took it out in the desert and ripped off a few 50-shot clips then looked at the boxes of empty ammunition at my feet and at the receipt for them still in the bag, and I sold the gun the next day. Neither of the gun sales was ever official or tracked by any law enforcement agency. I was 17. It's a big problem. It's not an easily-solved problem. While people are busy getting rid of drugs, hookers and
Re: [FairfieldLife] Re: Guns don't kill people, the lack of guns kill people
Ok, there are a lot of guns around already. Does that mean we need to have even more? The Cho guy didn't get a gun from somebody that owned already a gun (like a parent). He bought a new one, with a procedure that lasted a couple of minutes. Buying a car would have taken much more red tape. Most of the people that have a gun would like to keep them, right? So is the problem the guns that are stashed somewhere away or having more guns being delivered to the market ? If the first problem is very difficult to solve, the second problem would be very easy to solve adopting gun control aws that are the same than in the rest of the world.

They would NOT stop an undemocratic coup or restore democracy through violence. Governments these days are just TOO powerful. Couldn't agree more. I agree, too, but that's not the point. The point is that there are *already* almost three hundred million guns in America, owned by almost 80 million people. And that's just the *registered* guns. Forget the liberal claptrap like, We should just get rid of the guns. That's bullshit. Tell us HOW you intend to get rid of the guns. I'll wait. Every gun owner I know in the U.S. *already* has plans for how to hide their guns in the event of a government recall of them. They *already* have phony sales certificates proving that they sold the good guns at a legal private auction, and they have spare guvmint guns that aren't worth a damn that they could turn over to the cops without missing them. The real guns, the ones they intend to hold onto NO MATTER WHAT THEIR GUVMINT SAYS, will be safely stashed somewhere long before any- one comes to the door asking for them. And these are...gawd help me...decent, law-abiding citizens. We're talking doctors and lawyers and schoolteachers and musicians and computer scientists and divinity students and other such low-lives. Now think about all of the millions of *unregistered* guns in the hands of people who are *not* quite so decent and law-abiding. How're you going to even find those guns, much less get rid of them? So, next time anyone spouts a bunch of idiocy like, What we need to do is get rid of the guns, you turn to the idiot and say, HOW? And then wait. They'll never get back to you with an answer, because THEY DON'T HAVE ONE. They're just talking through their hats. The American love affair with their guns is older and far more powerful than any of the half-witted liberal suggestions for how to end it. It's just not a solve- able problem ON THE LEVEL OF THE GUNS. The guns are here to stay. There is nothing the government of the United States could do TO round them up. Can't ever happen. So any solution to the gun problem has to be on the level of dealing with the people who *use* these guns to kill other people. Me, I don't *know* what would work. The gun owners are frightened people, and they are much more afraid of the things they think they need their guns for than they are of the laws that might land them in jail for keeping them or carrying them. If someone passed a law that would put them in jail for 20 years for using a gun in self defense, they would keep their guns and carry them anyway. It's a HORRIBLE problem. And, like most horrible problems, it doesn't have any simple answer. Those who keep saying that there *are* simple answers are making themselves appear simple by saying it.

I know myself if I have had a 3 shot Americano I can write more in an email than anyone really wants to read. You're lucky, these days I only do decaf. Did you also notice that I supported your premise? Or did you just stop at the critique which was also intended to be an inquiry into why TM'ers tend to be so verbose? Is it high vata or perhaps the Saraswati worship? I remember those gold embossed books the movement started putting out in the 1970s and wonder how people could say so little in so many words. At least unlike another former FFL wall of words rambler you know how to break your thoughts up into paragraphs. :) (BTW, I also think that high vata is why there have been some early deaths of TM'ers. I would even go so far as to speculate they might have been told they were running a vata imbalance but liked the high so didn't do what was necessary to come into balance.)

[FairfieldLife] Quiet Zone Fundraising Update and Important Public Meeting
Dear Friends of the Fairfield Train Safety and Quiet Zone, Thank You! We had a great response from our last email request and have doubled our contributions to $21,000 in receipts and about $22,000 in pledges. We received our largest single donation yet of $2,700. We have now raised a total of about $43,000 not yet considering our special benefactors. This is great and we continue to receive contributions every day. In fact opening all the letters, logging the contributions, and sending out email thank yous is taking lots of time. However we still need more individuals to contribute, especially before the end of the month before our first Fairfield City Council Public Safety Committee meeting. Our private benefactors were impressed with our results and your response and have pledged to help with large contributions. Yet they feel even more community support is needed as we received contributions from only about 150 out of the almost 500 on the email list, and the fact that at least 5,000 people have been contacted through our flyer, many of them twice. Knowing that we are so close to our first benchmark, if you are planning to give please send something this week to (Tax deductible contribution) ALF-Fairfield Train Safety Quiet Zone, PO Box 2302, Fairfield, Iowa 52556. The first public meeting with the City Council Safety Committee is scheduled for Sat. April 28th at 2:30 p.m. at City Hall. This is an important meeting as we need the committee to recommend to the full City Council to act on this issue to end loud train horn noise. The committee's recommendation will hold a lot of weight. So please plan to attend this meeting as a physical show of support that will add to all of the work that has been accomplished thus far. Right now we feel that 2 of the 3 committee members are in support of the Quiet Zone and it would be great to have unanimous support going to the next level.

You can't draw conclusions about gun control based on Houston and Israel being the same size. 96 percent of the population of Israel consists of but two ethnic groups. Most of the city shares the same religious beliefs. Israel is a nation, with a population that is spread out amongst different cities and rural areas, while Houston is a crowded city, and a pretty large one at that. Houston is the fourth largest city in the US, with a population that is 50 percent minority and 20 percent illegal alien. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Houston,_Texas#Demographics --- giovanni santostasi [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: Please, look at CNN video news in the CNN website called Bearing Arms.

That is just one of the city in USA. You can reproduce such calculations everywhere in the industrialized world and find out over and over and over the same results. Guns kill people and the presence of more guns kills even more people. It is a fact, no discussion about.

Blocking imported weed created an outdoor growing industry in the states. Going after outdoor weed crops created the still booming indoor growing primo bud industry. Shut down meth labs in the Midwest? No problem, now it is coming over the border in tractor trailers from both northern and southern borders. (purer quality too) Nature just hates a vacuum. Entrepreneurs hate one even more. I know a couple of guys in Santa Fe who look forward with *glee* to America banning the legal sale of guns. They'd be in business as gunrunners the next day. The only reason they aren't in that business now is that they wouldn't be able to compete, pricewise, with the legitimate gun dealers. We used to have certain streets in DC where hookers would stand around. I was nowhere near that neighborhood. I don't care what they said in News Of The World. They put in an ordinance that prevented people from from turning right on those streets so it was harder for people to cruse by and shop for some tender lov'n STDs. So now we have brothels in the suburbs, even in classy neighborhoods. It is so much more convenient plus it is easier to hide your human slave girls from Eastern Europe in big houses. Cuts the pimps overhead and improves the bottom line. Eastern Euro slave chicks are really hot if you can overlook the haunted look of human despair in their eyes. Interestingly, I hear that a couple of brothels in Amsterdam tried that, and nobody wanted the women. Complete washout. And I suspect the reason is that look of despair you're talking about. Even the tourists noticed it. Most of the women in the sex industry (hey! that's what they call it) in Amsterdam are independents. Raised Dutch, with few inhibitions about sex, many of them look at it as a ten-year gig that they can retire from with enough money so that they never have to work again for the rest of their lives. And for many of them, that is exactly how it turns out. I know a few of them, who now live in Spain in their own houses and are retired at 33. Go figure. But there are the hard cases, too. The women who got into drugs, or who are just *into* being abused. You get a lot of that in Amsterdam. Heavy SM scene. And they have a bit of that look in their eyes, too. Not to the extent that someone kidnapped from their country or sold into slavery by their parents would have, but it's still a sad, world-weary look that I, for one, would never be able to get past. (I recommend meth ) Exactly. Anyone who *could* get past that look would probably enjoy meth. Cops in DC had a money for guns program till they figured out the kind of guns people where selling them, the ones they never use because they are broken. Yup. Same thing in New Mexico. They'd find a rusted- out old Winchester with no collector value and get 100 bucks for it at the police station. They wouldn't have been able to get 5 at a pawn shop. That way they could take the money from the broken gun sale an buy a piece that could sling some lead for reeal. Sadly, it might be true.

FWIW, they had thought initially that the woman had been shot by her boyfriend during a quarrel, and that the second person who was shot had been trying to mediate. It only turned out later that those shootings had been random. So they didn't think anyone else was in danger; they immediately went to look for the boyfriend, found him, and took him into custody. At that point they figured they had it handled, just when the mass shootings in Norris Hall were beginning. Also, during those morning hours, something like 1,200 students who don't live on campus arrive at the university for classes, so locking the place down after the first shootings would have been very problematic; a lot of people weren't in the buildings yet but were still wandering around campus. Bad information and a logistics problem, it appears, at least from what I understand. And out of 2500 students it's a little hard to believe he was the only one who had a police record.

In particular I could use the address of chicks who are retired at 33 in Spain and who made a living making men happy. I have a theory that I want to test. LOL. I'm sure that the theory is valid, even if my friends wouldn't be the ones to test it on. All are happily married; two were even while they worked at Yab Yum. Go figure. The non-weirdness of the Dutch about sex is downright weird. :-) I went through a few thought processes on the gun part. At first I thought that it seems a little harsh because I know some people who are into shooting as a sport and it is more like the zen of archery. The little target shooting I did a while back was very interesting physically. I had to learn how to totally relax and squeeze the trigger with no anticipatory flinch as a loud explosion happened in my hand. (don't even go there Turq, I know how you think!) I am hurt. The thought never crossed my mind. The guys who were good at it were really cool cookies, very disciplined and self-contained, like being in CC but with hollow points if you know what I mean. I do. Shooting well is somewhat of an art form, not something that everyone can do well. The more you deal with guns, especially handguns, the more you understand that. Most people could probably not hit a human being ten feet away with a handgun, much less the bullseye of a target less than a centimeter wide. So on on one level this is a sport like archery and it requires an amazing amount of practice to get really good at it. It is kind of addictive to beat your own previous scores. Yup. I was never any damned good at it, which is one reason -- besides returning to sanity -- that I lost my interest in guns before I turned 20. Some collector types get a rush from adding an exotic new version of gun and I'm not sure it is any different from my unquenchable desire to own more guitars. This is certainly true as well. I know a few collector types who collect them the way that some people collect stamps. These guys don't even have any ammo in the house, just the guns. Compare and contrast to the guys who have 20 guns and 20,000 rounds of ammunition for them at all times, and need all of them to feel safe. The latter are more than a little scary. When I first started studying Brazilian Jiu-jitsu I noticed that I felt calmer around guys in business situations who would try to use anger to get their way. They wouldn't get my inner primal monkey riled up. It made me calmer and more relaxed. Same with me when studying karate. But on the other hand, after I dislocated my shoulder (actually it was a hefty Japanese judoki who did it for me) I noticed that over time I stopped thinking about people attacking me. I hadn't realized how often the defensive thought process would come up in public places. Same with me, after I stopped studying karate. There is something very, very true about the spiritual buzzphrase, What you focus on you become. (I spend a lot of time in public restrooms doing research on my upcoming book on George Michael) I stopped assessing guys while shaking their hands which had become automatic from years of grabbing a new guy in class and evaluating how much trouble it was going to be. It mostly faded away. I definitely did feel less anxiety caused by my sport being a version of controlled ass-kicking. Yup. Martial arts are best when left in the dojo once one leaves it. If you carry the mindset with you when you leave, you're basically looking for trouble. I also know guys who are practically begging for the social order to break down. Armed to the teeth, they point to Bosnia where ordinary people where plunged into Mad Max's reality overnight. Africa has plenty of examples. So could it happen here? Couple dirty bombs, a little social chaos from some anthrax Christmas cards, and I guess it might happen. Overnight. Yeah, these are the scary dudes. Sadly, having encountered a few of these survivalist types over the years, a lot of them picked this mindset up after having been sent somewhere to fight One Of America's Wars. They were plucked out of their gawdawful-boring lives and thrown into a jungle or a desert and forced to fight for their lives 24/7 and it was EXCITING for them, man. And part of them longs for that excitement again, now that they're back and stuck in their gawdawful- boring lives again. But if I have to load up my closet with ammo and powdered milk like they do, I am probably not gunna run my dog in this race. I don't even live near the racetrack any more. :-) My closet is already too full of tin foil undergarments to help block the CIA mind control rays that emanate from the Pentagon. Y'know, we could probably make a fortune *selling* tin foil undergarments to
