This is something I read off another board I browse on vintage synthesizers. I'm not a raver but I still feel that this whole thing is fucked up.

Some of us were aware of the legislature silently passed with The Amber Alert Bill and Patriot Act , but were too late and unable to stop it. It has to be stopped now- i implore you all to get in touch with your local representatives and tell them that this is unacceptable behavior anywhere especially here in AMERICA.

SOmething occured to me this morning on the way to work...how come no one is offering to send u said to help deal with this disaster? Maybe I have been asleep at the switch but has France, Britain, Russia, ANYONE sending money, supplies, aid of any sort? The only country i have heard of that offered aid was venezuela which is suprising in the wake of that idiot preacher running his mouth off. The United States has always been first to offer aid, money and assistance in a majority of fucked up situations across the globe. Remember the tsunami when we donated the most cash and resources to assist? ANd when we were ciriticized for not helping out enough we doubled …

Recently there's been a few Native issues that have been in the news: currently in Canada In two unanimous decisions, Canada's highest court ruled that commercial logging is not the logical evolution of a traditional Mi'kmaq trading activity. Two native men from Nova Scotia and New Brunswick had argued that treaties their ancestors signed with Britain in 1760 and 1761 gave them the right to commercially log trees on Crown land without permission. But the judges said the two natives did not prove aboriginal title to the lands they logged. source and currently in the USA The Shinnecock Indian Tribe of eastern Long Island, which historically has lived …

I hate giving this guy attention, but hey... http://www.cnn.com/2005/US/08/23/robertson.chavez/index.html (CNN) -- Christian broadcaster Pat Robertson has called for the United States to assassinate Venezuelan President Hugo Chavez, calling him "a terrific danger" bent on exporting Communism and Islamic extremism across the Americas. "If he thinks we're trying to assassinate him, I think that we really ought to go ahead and do it," Robertson told viewers on his "The 700 Club" show Monday. "It's a whole lot cheaper than starting a war." Watch video of Robertson's comments Robertson, a contender for the Republican presidential nomination in 1988, called Cha…

'Rendition' Realities By David Ignatius Wednesday, March 9, 2005; Page A21 Torture is immoral and illegal, and the refusal to allow cruel interrogation techniques is one measure of a civilized society. But this ironclad moral argument doesn't necessarily apply to the practice known as "extraordinary rendition." Rendition is the CIA's antiseptic term for its practice of sending captured terrorist suspects to other countries for interrogation. Because some of those countries torture prisoners -- and because some of the suspected terrorists "rendered" by the CIA say they were in fact tortured -- the debate has tended to lump rendition and torture together.…

USA Mobil, CIA secrets may come out in bribery trial of oil adviser Bloomberg, 25 August 2005 In the mid-1990s, long before oil prices topped $60 a barrel, U.S. companies sought access to Kazakhstan, a Central Asian nation that the U.S. State Department says will be among the world's top 10 producers of crude by 2015. First, they had to win approval from Jim Giffen, a New York investment banker who became an official in Kazakhstan's government and held sway over its energy deals. ``You couldn't go to a Kazakh minister, particularly if you were an American company, without going through Giffen,'' says Ed Chow, who managed external affairs at Chevron Overseas…

May I also add that the police abstaining from "profiling" for the sake of our already trampled constitutional rights is absolutely ridiculous.. how can you say that you want to search passengers to protect the masses, but then want to do it in a "random" manner!??! Searching every 5th person is just stupid, you just wait not to be that fifth person if…

MICHAEL Jackson has bought a property in Bahrain, according to a report in the New York Post yesterday. He is said to have splashed out an undisclosed sum of money on the luxury property after holidaying here. According to the newspaper, the mansion is located on a 14-acre piece of land. However, Jackson's lawyers claim they know nothing about him buying any property, said the report. The singer arrived in Bahrain on June 29 as a private guest of Shaikh Abdulla bin Hamad Al Khalifa. Mr Jackson's brother Jermaine has been a close friend of Shaikh Abdulla for many years. Jermaine and Shaikh Abdulla earlier this year announced they were releasin…

Ol Georgie did it again. http://www.cnn.com/2005/POLITICS/07/21/con....patriotact.ap/ "The bill also proposed 10-year extensions to the two other provisions set to expire on December 31, one allowing roving wiretaps and another allowing searches of library and medical records. They were the focus of most of the controversy as members plowed through the main legislation and 18 amendments." "The roving wiretap provision, Section 206, allows investigators to obtain warrants to intercept a suspect's phone conversations or Internet traffic without limiting it to a specific phone or identifying the suspect." so im sure this means its fucked for another 10.

The planet, a gas giant slightly larger than Jupiter, orbits the main star of a triple-star system known as HD 188753 in the constellation Cygnus ("The Swan"). The stellar trio and its planet are about 149 light-years from Earth and about as close to each other as our sun is to Saturn, U.S. scientists reported on Thursday in the current editio…

High court: Juvenile death penalty unconstitutional Tuesday, March 1, 2005 Posted: 1:10 PM EST (1810 GMT) WASHINGTON (AP) -- The Supreme Court ruled Tuesday that the Constitution forbids the execution of killers who were under 18 when they committed their crimes, ending a practice used in 19 states. The 5-4 decision throws out the death sentences of about 70 juvenile murderers and bars states from seeking to execute minors for future crimes. The executions, the court said, violate the Eighth Amendment ban on cruel and unusual punishment. The ruling continues the court's practice of narrowing the scope of the death penalty, which justices reinstated …
