Move over, Mother Teresa.  We have a real saint in Paula Jones and she isn't
even dead.  Look at the miracles:

- Christians have discovered that women have rights.

- Democrats have started to worry about spending a few million dollars.

- Feminists are demanding the right of employers to sexually abuse women at
a place of buisness be upheld.

What miralcles have you given us, Mother?

Hey Sue I remember them especially the young girl running form the

Its a very strange situation, with the left arm no knowing what the right

If I remember rightly the chemicals in its composition are both highly toxic
and very polluting, and to safely burn them off would need a incredibly high
temperature, otherwise the smoke and fumes would be just as dangerous.

Hey, Steve, surely you understand the ability of bureaucracies beyond control.

CDC is the the Center for Disease Control and has decided that guns are a
new microbe apparently.  If you knew about the lies the CDC put out in the
case of the "AIDS Dentist" you would understand why they think guns are a
pathogen.

L&I Warning After Artist Sells Her Work - And Her Body

1998-04-17 Thread Steve Wright

Steve Wright <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> writes:


Warning After Artist Sells Her Work - And Her Body

Council licensing officers served a written warning on a London art gallery
where an artist claimed to have sold her body along with her work while
members of the public paid to look on.
Canadian Angela Marshall, 25, alleged she had full sex while painting a
picture for her first customer.

The man, who gave his name as Mark Childs, said he was a buyer for a wealthy
collector who was too well-known to attend the session at Decima Studios,
Bermondsey, south London.

Miss Marshall's first three bookings had apparently been scared off by the
journalists ringing the studio, but Mr Childs opted to pay 50 for sex and
the picture.

Onlookers watched through a hole in the door as the couple cavorted naked
under a red light on a double mattress while Miss Marshall's assistant
Jessica Konopka, 20, from Mauchline, Ayrshire, Scotland, danced around them
smoking.

The pair were inside the studio for about an hour.

But shortly before they emerged a man who had earlier paid 5 to watch the
show arrived with a colleague from Southwark Council's licensing department
and served a written warning on curator Alex Chappel.

The council officers warned Mr Chappel that the property appeared to be
being used for sexual entertainment and he may have committed an offence.
They said that if the exhibition continued, the gallery would be risking
prosecution.

Mr Chappel said he had taken legal advice before staging the exhibition -
scheduled to run over the weekend - and understood that it was legal.

He told reporters: "If we can get it confirmed then we carry on with it."

Hi Doc, I have many friends who are Gulf War veterans and since this whole
thing started erupting soon after the conflict I have tried to keep tabs on
developments regarding this very sensitive issue.  My money is on fall out
from biological or chemical weapons fired by Iraqi artillery.  I would be
interested in you views on that or the antidotes given for anthrax or the
pesticide, depleted uranium throes.

My thoughts are with your friends son, I hope this mess finally gets cleared
up for all, the men and women who served in Desert Storm.

Hi Doc,

A very well rehearsed news conference I might add.  Too bad she's not a
good enough actress to pull it off.  If she's not interested in media
coverage then why even HAVE a news conference?  It is certainly not a
requirement to have one in order to appeal a court decision.  These
people are so dumb and transparent it's hilarious.

Damn, I re-read that report three times and still can't find the

Thanks for the thoughts, Steve.  I really haven't enough medical knowledge to
have any educated views on the question.  Wish I did.  This I do know, I'm not
ready to just sit back and say "that's nice" when someone says there are no

L&I COTD: Manson, Charles Milles

1998-04-17 Thread Kathy E

Kathy E <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> writes:


Here's a rather famous killers case for y'all:

Born "no name Maddox" in Cincinnati, Ohio, on November 12, 1934, Manson
was the illegitimate son of Kathleen Maddox, a 16-year-old prostitute.
His surname was derived from one of Kathleen's many lovers, whom she
briefly married, but it signified no blood connection. During 1936,
Kathleen filed a paternity suit against one "Colonel Scott," of Ashland,
Kentucky, winning the grand monthly sum of five dollars for the support
of "Charles Milles Manson." Scott instantly defaulted on the judgment,
and he died in 1954, without acknowledging his son.

In 1939, Kathleen and her brother were sentenced to five years in prison
for robbing a West Virginia gas station. Charles was packed off to live
with a strictly religious aunt and her sadistic husband, who constantly
berated the boy as a "sissy," dressing him in girl's clothing for his
first day of school in an effort to help Manson "act like a man."
Paroled in 1942, Maddox reclaimed her son, but she was clearly unsuited
to motherhood. An alcoholic tramp who brought home lovers of both  
sexes, Kathleen frequently left Charles with neighbors "for an hour,"
then disappeared for days or weeks on end, leaving relatives to track
the boy down. On one occasion, she reportedly gave Charles to a barmaid,
in payment for a pitcher of beer.

By 1947, Kathleen was seeking a foster home for her son, but none was  
available. Charles wound up in the Gibault School for Boys, in Terre
Haute, Indiana, but fled after ten months, rejoining his mother. She
still didn't want him, and so Manson took to living on the streets,
making his way by theft. Arrested in Indiana, he escaped from the local
juvenile center after one day's confinement. Recaptured and sent to
Father Flanagan's Boy's Town, he lasted four days before his next
escape, fleeing in a stolen car to visit relatives in Illinois. He
pulled more robberies en route and on arrival, leading to another bust
at age 13. Confined for three years in a reform school at Plainfield,  
Indiana, Manson recalls sadistic abuse by older boys and guards alike.
If we may trust his memory, at least one guard incited other boys to
rape and torture Manson, while the officer stood by and masturbated on
the sidelines.

In February 1951, Manson and two other inmates escaped from the
Plainfield "school," fleeing westward in a series of stolen cars.
Arrested in Beaver, Utah, Manson was sentenced to federal time for
driving hot cars across state lines. Starting off in a minimum-security
establishment, Manson assaulted another inmate in January 1952, holding
a razor blade to the boy's throat and sodomizing him. Reclassified as
"dangerous," Manson was transferred to a tougher lockup, logging eight
major disciplinary infractions including three homosexual assaults - by
August 1952. He was moved to the Chilicothe, Ohio, reformatory a month
later, and suddenly turned over a new leaf, becoming a "model" prisoner
almost overnight. The cunning act was rewarded by parole in May 1954.

Arrested a second time for driving hot cars interstate, in September
1955, Manson got off easy with five years probation. He celebrated by
skipping a court date in Florida, on pending charges of auto theft, and
his probation was promptly revoked. Picked up in Indianapolis on March
14, 1956, he was sent to the federal prison at Terminal Island,
California, winning parole on September 30, 1958. Seven months later, on
May 1, 1959, he was jailed in Los Angeles, on charges of forging and
cashing stolen U.S. Treasury checks. Once more, he escaped with
probation, swiftly revoked with his April 1960 arrest for pimping and
transporting whores interstate. Entering the lock-up at McNeil Island,
Manson listed his religion as "Scientologist"; his IQ was tested at 121.
Paroled on March 21, 1967, over his own objections, Manson was drawn to
San Francisco and the teeming Haight-Ashbury district.

It was the "Summer of Love," when thousands of young people flocked to
the banner of drugs and "flower power," heeding Timothy Leary's advice
to "tune in, turn on, drop out." The streets and crashpads overflowed
with teenage runaways and drifters, seeking insight on the world and on
themselves.  Behind the scenes, a minor army of manipulators - gurus,
outlaw bikers, pushers, pimps and Satanists -- stood ready to squeeze a
grim profit from the Age of Aquarius.

In San Francisco, Manson displayed a surprising charisma, attracting
young drop-outs of both sexes, drawn from all strata of white society.
Some, like Mary Brunner, were college graduates. Others, like Susan
Atkins and Robert Beausoleil, were involved with Satanic cults. Most
were hopelessly confused about their lives, adopting Manson as a
combination mentor, father-figure, lover, Christ incarnate, and the
self-styled "God of Fuck." They drifted up and down the state in
fluctuating numbers, with the "family" topping fifty members at its
peak. From Mendocino an
