jik (Jonathan I. Kamens):
Everything you always wanted to know about Arab attitudes toward
Israel, but were afraid to ask....
Part 30:
``Machine guns and rifle bullets are the only way to reach an
understanding with the Zionist enemy. Statements, protests and UN
resolutions are of no avail. Only the massive use of bullets.... Our
people cannot cease its struggle, which is carried out with bullets,
machine guns and hand grenades.''
- Khalil al-Wazir (Abu Jihad), Head of the military wing, Fatah,
- //Voice of Palestine//, Beirut, May 3, 1980

jtkohl (John T Kohl):
Christopher Robin and I walked along,
under branches lit up by the moon.
Posing our questions to Owl and Eyore
as our day disappeared all too soon.
But I've wandered much further today than I should
And I can't seem to find my way back to the wood!
[Chorus:]
So Help me if you can,
I've got to get back to the House at Pooh Corner by one,
You'd be surprised there's so much to be done:
Count all the bees in the hive,
Chase all the clouds from the sky.
Back to the days of Christopher Robin and Pooh.
Winnie the Pooh doesn't know what to do,
Got a honey jar stuck on his nose.
He came to me asking help and advice,
and from here no one knows where to go.
So I sent him to ask of the owl (if he's there)
how to loosen a jar from the nose of a bear!
Chorus (x 2)
Back to the days of Pooh...

klbrubak (Kaye L Brubaker):
P.E. or Ph.D., that is the question--
Whether 'tis nobler in the mind to ponder
the flows and fractals of advancing theory,
or to take arms against the real world's problems
and, by designing, solve them....

sethg (Seth A. Gordon):
[T]he anarchist principle is by and large true. And far from being
"utopian" or a "glorious failure," it has proved itself and won out in
many spectacular historical crises. In the period of mercantilism and
patents royal, free enterprise by joint stock companies was anarchist.
The Jeffersonian bill of rights and independent judiciary were
anarchist. Congregational churches were anarchist. Progressive
education was anarchist. The free cities and corporate law in the
feudal system were anarchist. At present [1966], the civil rights
movement in the United States had been almost classically decentralist
and anarchist. And so forth, down to details like free access in public
libraries. Of course, to later historians these things do not seem to
be anarchist, but in their own time they were all regarded as such and
often literally called such, with the usual dire threats of chaos. But
this relativity of the anarchist principle to the actual situation is of
the essence of anarchism. There *cannot* be a history of anarchism in
the sense of establishing a permanent state of things called
"anarchist." It is always a continual coping with the next situation,
and a vigilance to make sure that past freedoms are not lost and do not
turn into the opposite, as free enterprise turned into wage-slavery and
monopoly capitalism, or the independent judiciary turned into a monopoly
of courts, cops, and lawyers, or free education turned into School
Systems.
