Robyn, former admin of PD, passed away on August 13 of 2022.

wahhhhh!!!!!!!!!

I was an idealist. Back in the 60s. Organized anti-war rallies, marched on
Washington, broke windows, got teargassed, etc. Thought I was making a difference.

But when I got higher up in the anti-war organizations, I realize that
the people at the top were just expoliting the people below for their own
political gain, be it recruiting for their socialist cabal, or building a base
from which to run for office as a Democrat.

So for years I just plodded along, making a living, hauranging my friends
with my anarchist bullshit (they laughed and thought I was humorous.)

Recently I decided that I can make a difference, by influencing other
people. Become a writer I said to myself. Infiltrate their minds with ideas.
Maybe one of them will be in position to make a difference. Maybe one of
them will be President someday and will remember something I wrote.

Of course, a lot of the stuff I read in the past was extermely subversive.
Lots of SF is extremely radical and anti-state, anti-corporation,
anti-elitist.

And look where we are today. In deep shit.

Still, that literature did produce me. So, maybe I can help produce
others like me.

Maybe.

Don't give up, Toots.

Just prepare yourself to be seriously disappointed.

So what's the low down on 'kwanzaa'?

isn't that the holiday african americans invented
so they don't have to worship some white guy in robes?

bah humbug

It has multiple ways of being asked. Bear in mind they are all the same question, not different. Let me repeat that: bear in mind that they are all the same question, not different. And again: bear in mind that they are all the same question, not different.

If angels can fall, may devils rise?
Are all patterns of thought inborn or learned?
If you believe you are right, then everything you say is right?
Can a lepoard change its spots?
Is there any redemption?
Is nobility defined or inborn?

excesively repetitive
be more concise


your questions presupposes that there is something greater than just biological urges
that behavior is more than just the reaction of certain chemicals to external stimulus

you say
but that is the question
are we capable of more than instinct?

and i say
your use of the terms "angel," "devil," and "nobility"
betrays that you have already answered your own question


as far my answer:

"when it is dark at night, you can see the stars"

wait!

there's rules?

just wait until i tell the other fluff bunn...

...ah, i mean...

that's very nice, khan, very nice
