Hmm... well, I don't know enough about the issue to comment. If management
is doing a good job, seems to me you don't need a union. That was why they
formed.


The union doesn't care if management is good or bad, the union is
looking for more members paying dues. With union membership dwindling
they are looking for more income and more muscle with which to lobby
Congress.


Well, now two dems are trying to make it so Fed employees (such as
themselves) don't have to pay tax on the so called "Cadillac policies"
along with the Union members.. Seems it's just a way to pay off the
folks who voted for Obama and further punish anyone who didn't... These
guys are unbelievable. Time to bring back the gallows for treason.

Perhaps, but that's a management issue within the union. That's got nothing
to do with why they exist in the first place, which is bad corporate
management.

puleeeeaaseeee. He was and is a joke... Kinda' like calling the
pending
censorship doctrine, the "fairness" doctrine...

Fairness Doctrine or net neutrality? The Fairness Doctrine has
been
dead
for quite a while. However, the FCC is now considering rules to
insure
net neutrality.

What is net neutrality? Did you forget that you entered into a
contract
with your ISP? If you don't like what one offers you can excercise
your
right to choose a different ISP. Or, you can negotiate with your ISP
to
provide you with better quality service.



The ISP really isn't the issue. They're a dime a dozen. The issue is
the
broadband providers. There are just a few of those. They're mostly
backbones, such as MCI, Spring, UUNET...

MCI no longer exists, see Verizon.

Sprin(g)t no longer exists, see AT&T.

UUNET no longer exists, see Verizon.

Besides UUNet never owned the long lines, the had modems at the POPs.

The misnomer of public and private traffic on the Internet blurs the
fact that it was all privately owned.

Try again.



Whatever... it's still the broadband providers not the ISP. Net
neutrality


Did you agree to terms and conditions when you obtained your Internet
connection? You entered into a private contract, at least in the US for
now. If you don't like the terms and conditions then don't pay for the
service.

Access to the Internet is not a right.

Buy a newspaper or a magazine.


This has nothing to do with my contract with my ISP. This has a lot to do
with whether or not ATT charges my ISP based on content, which will of
course, trickle down to my cost.

I'm not sure how to say it any more simply.

How is it possible for a person to "love" any politician? (It seems
to be a sickening fetish similar to necrophilia.)

Love doesn't exist on your end of the political spectrum, unless you
count money.

You consider that a reasonable declaration? On a primal, nascent
level, I suspect that you don't really know what "love" is. You and
most others in this NG don't display "love" in any sense of the word.

What do you find wrong with it? Even "compassionate conservatives"
send fellow citizens to war based on known false information.

The only love the conservative movement displays is tough love, as in
"pull yourself up by your bootstraps cause there ain't nobody who
gives a **** once you're born."

I'm sure there's so much love to spread around on Sundays and then
Monday it's back to screwing others for your own.

Didn't you say you were in the insurance business?

I'm in the IT business, too. I also volunteer to help special-needs
persons - this, without compensation, reward, or to assauge any
speculated, deep-seated feelings of guilt. I have and do assist
persons that most other people would avoid by walking on the other
side of the street. (Do you do the same?) I'll return to a question
I have asked of you before, which you failed to answer in any
reasonable manner. Who are you to judge another? (And I'll wager
that I'm compensated annually less than you are. I'll also wager that
my income stream is less than yours.)

Good for you!!!

Weren't we talking about love and party affiliation?

Are you a compassionate conservative and did you support GW Bush's
pre-emptive war of choice?

What percentage of the folks who "avoid" your friends do you suppose
are Republicans? I'd expect it to be larger by at least the weight of
a six pack or two.


How much "love" do you have, jps? Do you volunteer your time for the
unfortunate, the dispossessed, the disaffected, the pariah of our
society? Or do you defer to "government" to do your lovin' for ya?
Let's see the love, dude!


Changing the subject. I'd be pleased to discuss my efforts towards
the benefits of mankind but you haven't favored me with any real
answers yet.

So why should I invest in your inquiry when you haven't invested in
mine?

This is how it normally goes with you.


I think a review of who first toke the path less relevant would yeild
a contrary result. What is apparent to the sensible reader is that
your declarations are far removed from reality, are not representative
of the truth, and that by design. You are a propagandist and you are
a minor one at that. You're traipsing around with your basket of
radical blubs in remote newsgroups, far from the big-lights that the
more notorious radicals, such as Michael Moore, enjoy.

"toke the path"? I was bleary-eyed last night. I would recommend
that you avoid reading C.S. Lewis' "The Abolition of Man" if you have
problems comprehending what I write. Then again, I suspect that if
you or HK were able to comprehend "The Abolition of Man," any acerbic
and witty rebuttal that either of you issued against it would fall as
short as all of your other lackluster "blurbs."

Enjoy.

That woman looked like she was experiencing the onset of an anal
outburst.

I love Al and I love Alan Grayson. What's with Dems named Al?

I love Al Gore too, apart from how he runs campaigns.


How is it possible for a person to "love" any politician? (It
seems
to be a sickening fetish similar to necrophilia.)

Love doesn't exist on your end of the political spectrum, unless
you
count money.

You consider that a reasonable declaration? On a primal, nascent
level, I suspect that you don't really know what "love" is. You
and
most others in this NG don't display "love" in any sense of the
word.

What do you find wrong with it? Even "compassionate conservatives"
send fellow citizens to war based on known false information.

The only love the conservative movement displays is tough love, as
in
"pull yourself up by your bootstraps cause there ain't nobody who
gives a **** once you're born."

I'm sure there's so much love to spread around on Sundays and then
Monday it's back to screwing others for your own.

Didn't you say you were in the insurance business?

I'm in the IT business, too. I also volunteer to help special-needs
persons - this, without compensation, reward, or to assauge any
speculated, deep-seated feelings of guilt. I have and do assist
persons that most other people would avoid by walking on the other
side of the street. (Do you do the same?) I'll return to a question
I have asked of you before, which you failed to answer in any
reasonable manner. Who are you to judge another? (And I'll wager
that I'm compensated annually less than you are. I'll also wager
that
my income stream is less than yours.)

Good for you!!!

Weren't we talking about love and party affiliation?

Are you a compassionate conservative and did you support GW Bush's
pre-emptive war of choice?

What percentage of the folks who "avoid" your friends do you suppose
are Republicans? I'd expect it to be larger by at least the weight of
a six pack or two.

How much "love" do you have, jps? Do you volunteer your time for the
unfortunate, the dispossessed, the disaffected, the pariah of our
society? Or do you defer to "government" to do your lovin' for ya?
Let's see the love, dude!

Changing the subject. I'd be pleased to discuss my efforts towards
the benefits of mankind but you haven't favored me with any real
answers yet.

So why should I invest in your inquiry when you haven't invested in
mine?

This is how it normally goes with you.

I think a review of who first toke the path less relevant would yeild
a contrary result. What is apparent to the sensible reader is that
your declarations are far removed from reality, are not representative
of the truth, and that by design. You are a propagandist and you are
a minor one at that. You're traipsing around with your basket of
radical blubs in remote newsgroups, far from the big-lights that the
more notorious radicals, such as Michael Moore, enjoy.


I'm sure your family understands you.


"toke the path"? I was bleary-eyed last night. I would recommend
that you avoid reading C.S. Lewis' "The Abolition of Man" if you have
problems comprehending what I write. Then again, I suspect that if
you or HK were able to comprehend "The Abolition of Man," any acerbic
and witty rebuttal that either of you issued against it would fall as
short as all of your other lackluster "blurbs."



I don't recall reading this CS Lewis book, but I really enjoyed the space
trilogy, and I most enjoyed (and remember) Out of the Silent Planet
(apologies to Harry... it's just a coincidence).

It's more of a philosophical work, em. I haven't read much of C.S.
Lewis fiction (one Narnia novel and "The Screwtape Letters," an
epistolary). I've read more of his religious and philosophical works,
the most difficult to negotiate being "The Abolition of Man," and the
most poignant being, imo, "The Problem of Pain." The man was an
estimable apologist. And I may be being a bit brutal in this opinion;
but, I doubt that either JPS or H the K possess the prowess or acumen
to fully absorb it, considering their respectively unremarkable
intellectual demonstrations in this NG. That's why the most you'll
see from either in a criticism of his work is a "pithy" blurb.

Harry was right when he said overwrought. You need to get over
yourself. You're exactly like a young jazz musician who knows how to
play a lot of notes but hasn't yet discovered it's the spaces that
count.

Until then, I expect we'll be seeing more missives from the Ponderosa.

Maybe you should ask Hoss to help you pull the stick out. And I'm not
talking about the one in your eye.

more notorious radicals, such as Michael Moore, enjoy.

I'm sure your family understands you.

"toke the path"? I was bleary-eyed last night. I would recommend
that you avoid reading C.S. Lewis' "The Abolition of Man" if you have
problems comprehending what I write. Then again, I suspect that if
you or HK were able to comprehend "The Abolition of Man," any acerbic

It's more of a philosophical work, em. I haven't read much of C.S.
Lewis fiction (one Narnia novel and "The Screwtape Letters," an

the most difficult to negotiate being "The Abolition of Man," and the
most poignant being, imo, "The Problem of Pain." The man was an
estimable apologist. And I may be being a bit brutal in this opinion;
but, I doubt that either JPS or H the K possess the prowess or acumen
to fully absorb it, considering their respectively unremarkable
intellectual demonstrations in this NG. That's why the most you'll
see from either in a criticism of his work is a "pithy" blurb.


I had wanted to add, too, Em, that "The Problem of Pain" is a bit of

subscribe to any faith in particular.



Sometimes, I don't mind a pithy response. :)

I can understand God's goodness in the face of many things (all things I

with lots of religious people of course). I guess I've struggled with this
for a long while, but I've concluded that there doesn't have to be the
duality of good and evil for good to exist. Bad certainly exists, but I
don't believe in evil. Even bad people can be do good in select
circumstances. Certainly, the reverse is true.

That's certainly one way to look at it, but if you believe that God can only
be good (to the the tune of Johnny Be Good of course), is all powerful, and
all knowing, then how can evil really exist? Not to be too heavy about it,
but it's more on par with Plato than Aristotle, the latter of which bores
me, so I tend to dislike and discount his arguments.

So, if I make a logical argument, but I mis-spell a word, the logical
argument is "good," but does that make the mis-spelling evil? I claim it's
bad but not evil. Maybe that's a stretch.

Eh...

"Good" - non-diseased raw cherrystone clams on the half shell but sadly
not worth risking one's health over these days.

"Almost" as good - cherrystone clam steamers with melted butter and
salty clam broth.

"Very good" - steamed two pound Maine lobster.

"Very good" - real deal Marseille Bouillabaisse

"Good" - but a fading memory, terrific barbecue from Arthur Bryant's
Barbecue in Kansas City, *especially* when watching Charley Finley's
K.C. Athletics play a few blocks away in the old municipal stadium. The
K.C. Star's sports team at the game almost always sent a copy boy over
the Bryant's during the fifth inning to bring back a huge order for
everyone in the press box. If it was a slow news night, I could almost
always convince the night city editor to send me to the game to write a
crowd color story.

A really drastic diversion here.
One of the best laughs I ever has was when George Brett came on the
field out to play with the Royals after his surgery for hemorrhoids..
Think he was vying for the hitting title.
Lots of speculation whether he was ready to play or not.
He waddled out of the dugout.
The announcers kept their cool, but I laughed like hell.
Forgot all about that.

It was always great fun watching the "A's," even with their crappy w/l
record. I was gone from KC by the time the Royals started up. But...and
this is a good connection, I did attend get to "cover" the American
Royal for a few years as a reporter, and some of my fondest memories
were of the table-sized (well, they looked that big) steaks served
during the Royal by the American Hereford Assn. Got one of the best
stories I ever wrote for The Star at an AHA meeting.

Nah, that's not good. Good is Tafërtingen Dunkel beer, Jagermiester

It's more of a philosophical work, em. I haven't read much of C.S.

but, I doubt that either JPS or H the K possess the prowess or acumen
to fully absorb it, considering their respectively unremarkable
intellectual demonstrations in this NG. That's why the most you'll
see from either in a criticism of his work is a "pithy" blurb.

I had wanted to add, too, Em, that "The Problem of Pain" is a bit of

for a long while, but I've concluded that there doesn't have to be the
duality of good and evil for good to exist. Bad certainly exists, but I
don't believe in evil. Even bad people can be do good in select
circumstances. Certainly, the reverse is true.


At least you've invested some thought in the issue. That's more than
many others do. I think that when the discussion comes up, the terms
need to be clearly defined. It can be asserted that 'good' has no
meaning if there isn't 'evil.' The one is defined in some part by the
other. I wish I had finished G. E. Moore's "Principia Ethica." I had
started it last winter, and I put it down in the middle of his
defining "good." Maybe I'll be able to finish it when I retire, if I
ever get that far :)



That's certainly one way to look at it, but if you believe that God can only
be good (to the the tune of Johnny Be Good of course), is all powerful, and
all knowing, then how can evil really exist? Not to be too heavy about it,
but it's more on par with Plato than Aristotle, the latter of which bores
me, so I tend to dislike and discount his arguments.

So, if I make a logical argument, but I mis-spell a word, the logical
argument is "good," but does that make the mis-spelling evil? I claim it's
bad but not evil. Maybe that's a stretch.


I had a rum and coke for dinner, Em; so, I'm really in too light of a
mood to tackle this heavy stuff this evening. :) Maybe, I'll try to
wade my way through your thoughts tomorrow. Until then, I defer to
C.S. Lewis in his "The Problem of Pain," when he states that "pain is
God's megaphone to a deaf world." (Or something very similar to
that.) Too, I think it safe to say that the argument can go to an
examination of free will and to the consideration that God endowed us
with such. That being the case, if any one free will agent (you or I)
stood inimically to God, as a matter of choice, the one who does can
be said to be 'evil.' That's only one avenue of thought, though. (And
I went farther than I intended.)

Nah, that's not good. Good is Tafërtingen Dunkel beer, Jagermiester
schnapps, roast chicken, and bratwurst at the Augsburg October fest.
Now that's the epitome of "good." Of course a Saturday evening at the
Hofbräuhaus in Munich comes close.



Too...German.


I'll do German before I'll do Taco Bell. (Come to think of it, I'd do
White Castle before I'd do Taco Bell.)

a six pack or two.

How much "love" do you have, jps? Do you volunteer your time for

Let's see the love, dude!

Changing the subject. I'd be pleased to discuss my efforts towards
the benefits of mankind but you haven't favored me with any real
answers yet.

So why should I invest in your inquiry when you haven't invested in
mine?

This is how it normally goes with you.

I think a review of who first toke the path less relevant would
yeild
a contrary result. What is apparent to the sensible reader is that
your declarations are far removed from reality, are not
representative
of the truth, and that by design. You are a propagandist and you
are
a minor one at that. You're traipsing around with your basket of
radical blubs in remote newsgroups, far from the big-lights that the
more notorious radicals, such as Michael Moore, enjoy.

I'm sure your family understands you.

"toke the path"? I was bleary-eyed last night. I would recommend
that you avoid reading C.S. Lewis' "The Abolition of Man" if you have
problems comprehending what I write. Then again, I suspect that if
you or HK were able to comprehend "The Abolition of Man," any acerbic
and witty rebuttal that either of you issued against it would fall as
short as all of your other lackluster "blurbs."


I don't recall reading this CS Lewis book, but I really enjoyed the
space
trilogy, and I most enjoyed (and remember) Out of the Silent Planet
(apologies to Harry... it's just a coincidence).

EM

It's more of a philosophical work, em. I haven't read much of C.S.
Lewis fiction (one Narnia novel and "The Screwtape Letters," an
epistolary). I've read more of his religious and philosophical works,
the most difficult to negotiate being "The Abolition of Man," and the
most poignant being, imo, "The Problem of Pain." The man was an
estimable apologist. And I may be being a bit brutal in this opinion;
but, I doubt that either JPS or H the K possess the prowess or acumen
to fully absorb it, considering their respectively unremarkable
intellectual demonstrations in this NG. That's why the most you'll
see from either in a criticism of his work is a "pithy" blurb.

I had wanted to add, too, Em, that "The Problem of Pain" is a bit of
an exercise in theodicy. It's worth a read, even for those that don't
subscribe to any faith in particular.


Sometimes, I don't mind a pithy response. :)

Actually, I don't either :). It's just that some comments feign
'pith' when there is little there to show for it.

I can understand God's goodness in the face of many things (all things I
suppose), but I don't subscribe to the notion of evil (this puts me at
odds
with lots of religious people of course). I guess I've struggled with this
for a long while, but I've concluded that there doesn't have to be the
duality of good and evil for good to exist. Bad certainly exists, but I

Is that what you say to dinner guests when you're halfway through a
bottle of wine and a weighty subject is introduced to the

Can't argue with that. Used to frequent Resi's Bier Stube on Irving
in Chicago before it got all yuppified.
Think the owner was U-boat crew.
Know he'd pour me a Jagermeister now and then to follow a beer.
Good stuff, and it fits in coffee well too.
A buddy in college always carried a flask of it.
My preference was Hacker Pschorr Weiss, and I still lean towards that.
But I never did an October fest so I'm open to more trial.
Kiel and Hamburg is the limit of my experience in Germany.
Beer was warm, but I did enjoy the food and trains.

One of the reasons I liked the Octoberfest over the other 'fests
throughout the year was that the beer would chill in the evening that
time of the year. The chilled dark beer was robust and went really
well with the brats. The schnapps ladies would make their rounds with
buckets of iced schnapps carried by straps around the neck and
shoulders. The order was usually for one shot and it was chased with
the beer. I wasn't ready for German schnapps when I first arrived in
Augsburg, and needless to say, it took me about 36 hours to recover.
:)

Still got all the beer-making advice I got from you and Loogy.
Wait.
Decided on this one.

Honey Weizen w/ Danstar Munich dry yeast
Price: $28.95
Availability: Usually ships in 24-48 hours
Catalog Nbr: 730
Ship Weight: 12
Qty:

Would pick it up as the place is about a 30-40 minute drive.
Figured all the gear would run about $150.
Got that all listed too.
Still might do it.
But for now I'm going to the fridge and see what's there.
Glad I got reminded to have a beer.
It's good for you.

Nursing this is what the doc ordered.
A Czech dark lager - Bakalar.
Left off the marks on the a and r.
Don't know Czech.
Don't care for it, but my wife wanted a taste, and liked it.
She doesn't drink beer.
But she shops at an ethnic grocery and picks up various east European
and Russian beers to keep in the fridge for me.
Its hit and miss. The Polish are the best bets.
Only have one when I get reminded I haven't had one for a week or so.
