........................Dear Mr Bush....
Dear President Bush,
Thank you for doing so much to educate people regarding God's law. I have learned a great deal from you and try to share that knowledge with as many people as I can. When someone tries to defend the homosexual lifestyle, for example, I simply remind them that Leviticus 18:22 clearly states it to be an abomination. End of debate. I do need some advice from you, however, regarding some other elements of God's Laws and how to follow them:
1. Leviticus 25:44 states that I may possess slaves, both male and female, provided they are purchased from neighboring nations. A friend of mine claims that this applies to Mexicans, but not to Canadians. Can you clarify? Why can't I own Canadians?
2. I would like to sell my daughter into slavery, as sanctioned in Exodus 21:7. In this day and age, what do you think would be a fair price for her?
3. I know that I am allowed no contact with a woman while she is in her period of menstrual uncleanliness (Lev. 15:19-24). The problem is, how can I tell? I have tried asking, but most women take offense at this.
4. When I burn a bull on the altar as a sacrifice, I know it creates a pleasing odor for the Lord (Lev. 1:9). The problem is my neighbors. They claim the odor is not pleasing to them. Should I smite them?
5. I have a neighbor who insists on working on the Sabbath. Exodus 35:2 clearly states that he should be put to death. Am I morally obligated to kill him myself, or should I ask the police to do it?
6. A friend of mine feels that, even though eating shellfish is an abomination (Lev. 11:10), it is a lesser abomination than homosexuality. I don't agree. Can you settle this? Are there "degrees" of abomination?
7. Lev. 21:20 states that I may not approach the altar of God if I have a defect in my sight. I have to admit that I wear reading glasses. Does my vision have to be 20/20, or is there some wiggle-room here?
8. Most of my male friends get their hair trimmed, including the hair around their temples, even though this is expressly forbidden by Lev. 19:27. How should they die?
9. I know from Lev. 11:6-8 that touching the skin of a dead pig makes me unclean, but may I still play football if I wear gloves?
10. My uncle has a farm. He violates Lev. 19:19 by planting two different crops in the same field, as does his wife by wearing garments made of two different kinds of thread cotton/polyester blend). He also tends to curse and blaspheme a lot! Is it really necessary that we go to all the trouble of getting the whole town together to stone them (Lev. 24:10-16)? Couldn't we just burn them to death at a private family affair, like we do with people who sleep with their in-laws (Lev. 20:14)?
I know you have studied these things extensively and thus enjoy considerable expertise in such matters, so I am confident you can help. Thank you again for reminding us that God's word is eternal and unchanging.

Wedding Snaps Earn Guest a Beating
RIYADH (Reuters) - A furious Saudi bride beat up a woman who used a mobile phone camera to photograph her at her wedding party, a local newspaper reported on Sunday.
The bride "beat up the woman, completely destroyed her phone and pulled her by the hair in front of a big crowd of guests" for taking pictures in the women-only section of the wedding at Taif, in western Saudi Arabia, Al-Jazirah daily said.
The bride was applauded by guests for her "vigilance," the paper added. Women and men are usually segregated at wedding parties in the deeply conservative Muslim country, allowing women to remove their veils without being seen by men.
Saudi Arabia has officially banned mobile phones with cameras but they are widely used in the Gulf state and several ministries have appealed to the government to repeal the ban.

The Wounded Cupid Song~Anacreon
Cupid as he lay among
Roses, by a Bee was stung.
Whereupon in anger flying
To his Mother, said thus crying;
Help! O help! your Boy's a dying.
And why, my pretty Lad, said she?
Then blubbering, replied he,
A winged Snake has bitten me,
Which Country people call a Bee.
At which she smil'd; then with her hairs
And kisses drying up his tears:
Alas! said she, my Wag! if this
Such a pernicious torment is:
Come, tell me then, how great's the smart
Of those, thou woundest with thy Dart!

,,,,,Use The Force Neo.....
"Mother of the Matrix" Victorious By Martha Carter
Monday, October 4th 2004 ended a six-year dispute involving
Sophia Stewart, the Wachowski Brothers, Joel Silver and Warner
Brothers. Stewart's allegations, involving copyright infringement
and racketeering, were received and acknowledged by the
Central District of California, Judge Margaret Morrow residing.
Stewart, a New Yorker who has resided in Salt Lake City for the
past five years, will recover damages from the films, The Matrix I,
II and III, as well as The Terminator and its sequels. She will
soon receive one of the biggest payoffs in the history of
Hollywood, as the gross receipts of both films and their sequels
total over 2.5 billion dollars.
Stewart filed her case in 1999, after viewing the Matrix, which she
felt had been based on her manuscript, "The Third Eye,"
copyrighted in 1981. In the mid-eighties Stewart had submitted
her manuscript to an ad placed by the Wachowski Brothers,
requesting new sci-fi works.
According to court documentation, an FBI investigation
discovered that more than thirty minutes had been edited from
the original film, in attempt to avoid penalties for copyright
infringement. The investigation also stated that "credible
witnesses employed at Warner Brothers came forward, claiming
that the executives and lawyers had full knowledge that the work
in question did not belong to the Wachowski Brothers." These
witnesses claimed to have seen Stewart's original work and that
it had been "often used during preparation of the motion
pictures." The defendants tried, on several occasions, to have
Stewart's case dismissed, without success.
Stewart has confronted skepticism on all sides, much of which
comes from Matrix fans, who are strangely loyal to the
Wachowski Brothers. One on-line forum, entitled Matrix
Explained has an entire section devoted to Stewart.
Some who have researched her history and writings are open to
her story. Others are suspicious and mocking. "It doesn't bother
me," said Stewart in a phone interview last week, "I always knew
what was true."
Some fans, are unaware of the case or they question its
legitimacy, due to the fact that it has received little to no media
coverage. Though the case was not made public until October of
2003, Stewart has her own explanation, as quoted at
daghettotymz.com:
"The reason you have not seen any of this in the media is
because Warner Brothers parent company is AOL-Time
Warner... this GIANT owns 95 percent of the media... let me give
you a clue as to what they own in the media business... New
York Times papers/magazines, LA Times papers/magazines,
People Magazine, CNN news, Extra, Celebrity Justice,
Entertainment Tonight, HBO, New Line Cinema, Dreamworks,
Newsweek, Village Roadshow... many, many
more!... They are not going to report on themselves. They have
been surpressing my case for years..."
Fans who have taken Stewart's allegations seriously, have found
eerie mythological parallels, which seem significant in a case
that revolves around the highly metaphorical and symbolic Matrix
series. Sophia, the greek goddess of wisdom has been
referenced many times in speculation about Stewart. In one
book about the Goddess Sophia, it reads, "The black goddess
is the mistress of web creation spun in her divine matrix."
Although there have been outside implications as to racial
injustice (Stewart is African American), she does not feel that
this is the case. "This is all about the Benjamins," said Stewart.
"It's not about money with me. It's about justice."
Stewart's future plans involve a record label, entitled Popsilk
Records, and a motion picture production company, All Eyez On
Me, in reference to God. "I wrote The Third Eye to wake people
up, to remind them why God put them here.
There's more to life than money," said Stewart. "My whole
message to the world is about God and good and about choice,
about spirituality prevailing over 'technocracy'."
If Stewart represents spirituality, then she truly has prevailed
over the "technocracy" represented in both the Terminator and
the Matrix, and now, ironically, by their supposed creators.
Stewart is currently having discussions with CBS about a
possible exclusive story and has several media engagements in
the near future to nationally publicize her victory.

German men wear condoms that are wrong size
Survey shows only 18 percent get the right fit
Updated: 12:04 p.m. ET Dec. 1, 2004BERLIN - Most German men wear condoms of the wrong size, a condom distributor said on Wednesday, after asking more than 2,500 men to measure their erect penises.
“People measure their feet when they buy shoes. Why shouldn’t they measure their penises? A man would not wear children’s shoes,” said Jan Vinzenz Krause of Vinico, which released the study’s findings on World AIDS Day.
Embarrassment, vanity play role
Most condom boxes in Germany indicated size but men, due to embarrassment or vanity, rarely checked or just bought those marked “extra large,” he said.
Vinico’s survey recommended various brands to be used — depending on the endowment of the wearer.
The study found the average erect penis size was 14.7 cm (5-3/4 inches), with 40 percent of participants reporting lengths between 12 and 15 cm (4-3/4 and 5-7/8 inches).
When compared with the condoms normally used by the participants, the results showed only 18 percent wore the right size, with nearly half squeezing into condoms that were too small and 34 percent trying to use those that were too big.

Heavy stuff.... so, trees are built, molecule by molecule, out of carbon dioxide (a gas) and water (a liquid).The priest J. SENEBIER (1742 - 1809) from Geneva discovered that the regeneration of the air is based on the use of 'fixed air' (carbon dioxide). These observations were confirmed and broadened by studies of the Dutch doctor J. INGENHOUSZ (1730 - 1799) who recognized both the meaning of light and the fact that the whole carbon contained in plants is of atmospheric origin. He, too, conceived that plants take up small amounts of oxygen at night or in the shadow and give off carbon dioxide. In 1804 discovered Th. des SAUSSURE (1767 - 1845) from Geneva that the plants' increase in weight cannot solely be caused by the uptake of carbon and minerals, but is based on the binding of the water components, too.
Cool...

An excerpt of the latest from the beau:
[I am in eureka springs. we leave to Mt. Home for the dive tommorrow after sampling this area. I think your mom was right, you would like it here. At least in the off season, it reminds me of McKenzie Bridge, Oregon. The guides and locals sit around and trip out on tourists.
By the end of today I was just in a bad mood, not much sample. I'm not going into the corelation drawn between nutrient loading of these streams and the diversity of stream life. So, towards the end of the day and this random stream ends up next to a chicken house farm and they have been gravel mining the stream for road bed gravel, it was pretty ugly, and I found next to no life.
Leave from there with time to hit one more site and there is this guy out there with a pretty good water testing kit. He asked me if steve was my boss, I'm like yeah, how did you know. He is a volunteer stream team member testing over time for additions and there effect on the Kings river drainage. Lived right over the ridge in that area. I thought that was really getting involved to be apart of what matters.

God I love that man.
[I am in eureka springs. we leave to Mt. Home for the dive tommorrow after sampling this area. I think your mom was right, you would like it here. At least in the off season, it reminds me of McKenzie Bridge, Oregon. The guides and locals sit around and trip out on tourists.
By the end of today I was just in a bad mood, not much sample. I'm not going into the corelation drawn between nutrient loading of these streams and the diversity of stream life. So, towards the end of the day and this random stream ends up next to a chicken house farm and they have been gravel mining the stream for road bed gravel, it was pretty ugly, and I found next to no life.
Leave from there with time to hit one more site and there is this guy out there with a pretty good water testing kit. He asked me if steve was my boss, I'm like yeah, how did you know. He is a volunteer stream team member testing over time for additions and there effect on the Kings river drainage. Lived right over the ridge in that area. I thought that was really getting involved to be apart of what matters.
So, rambling.]

From last year's Piss Clear ...
Helpful hints for the playa
by FUCKO PETE
Welcome back to BRC!
It’s that time of year again
– the time of year
Christmas wishes it was. By
now you have probably at
least partially set up camp,
have cursed the wind, dust,
and/or heat more than
once, and tasted the salt of
your own sweat. This
means it’s time to start
drinking heavily. Wah-wah,
H2O, life-juice… vitamin
water? Just drink it often,
in large gulps all day, and
try to avoid ending up
where I did the afternoon of
the Burn four years ago –
laying in a Medical Camp
gurney with an I.V. stuck in
my arm next to two guys in
gorilla suits who also had
.06% sodium drips because
of dehydration. There’s
nothing quite like waiting
for a Med-Camp portapotty
in a flame shirt and
cowboy hat, holding your
own I.V. bag and smiling
dolefully as other Burners
stare at you while a medical
tech hopelessly looks
for a key to the toilet. But I
digress. To further your
Burning Man Experience™
this year, I have compiled a
list of helpful hints for your
inconsideration.
1. Rebar is bad for the
shins.
2. Your private parts will
sunburn like no other area
on your body.
3. Playa boogers can be
thrown further than regular
snot.
4. Filling your camelback
hydration bladder with
margaritas is a subversion
of said device. I have mixed
(drink) feelings about this.
5. Glitter is not sun
protection.
6. More gas is better (only
when starting fires).
7. Tell any whiners who say
“that’s not very safe” to
read their fucking ticket.
8. Glowsticks can and will
find their way into any orifice
(but become less tradeable).
9. Don’t open your mouth
while chasing the water
trucks.
10. Just because she’s
wearing tie-dye doesn’t
mean she has hairy pits and
a yeast infection.

I wonder would the neighbors wonder if I went ahead and acted on my impulse to go outside and wash this window? The sun is coming straight through it, I can feel my body making vitamin D as I speak, but it's so dirty.
[in 30-degree weather, wearing long underwear, steaming mug of hot cocoa w peppermint schnapps in hand, boots untied, scarf around head, standing in the snow, humming to herself and squirting windex on the window......neighbors come out, dressed in holiday clothes, warming up the car to go shopping, giving each other knowing looks and glancing at me out of hte corner of their eye]

giggle - go with it.
a year or so ago I was cleaning house in my grubbiest sweat pants and paint shirt. I had smudges on my face and filthy hands. I found my pink rhinestone tiara under the couch and lacking a better place at that moment... put it on my head.
Later in the day a neighbor came knocking on the door to discuss a homeless shelter that was being opened in the neighborhood in very serious tones. We stood on my porch and talked but all throughout she was giving me these nervous glances...
Of course I'd forgotten to take off the tiara... and looked ridiculous.
Of course I kept it on to clean the rest of the house. Why should looking ridiculous get in the way of feeling fabulous?
