Not much new this week and a very short Issue.
|
|
|
|
Still no Zone 2 update in the Nodelist. Still no International
|
|
Coordinator. Still arguing in Echomail over the most insignificant
|
|
issues.
|
|
|
|
And I've got to go. My son just sliced a golf ball through the
|
|
kitchen window and there's glass all over the place.
|
|
|
|
Enjoy!

AOP Alert 97:14 Friday, September 26, 1997
|
|
=============================================================
|
|
|
|
The following is a legislative alert from the Association of
|
|
Online Professionals, the primary professional association of
|
|
Internet Service Providers and other professionals who manage
|
|
online services. Please give it the widest possible
|
|
distribution.

|
|
Internet Issues Need Your Support
|
|
=============================================================
|
|
|
|
** AOP has joined the effort to overturn a tax on Internet
|
|
and online services in the state of Alabama. The governor
|
|
and legislature of that state will convene a special
|
|
session of the legislature to overturn the implementation
|
|
of the tax in that state. AOP needs to locate ISPs in the
|
|
state who have an interest in testifying before the
|
|
legislature on this issue. Alabama ISPs should contact
|
|
exec@aop.org.
|
|
|
|
** On the Federal level, the Internet Tax Freedom Act now
|
|
has more than 78 co-sponsors in the House of Representatives,
|
|
but is being blocked in the Senate by Sen. Ted Stevens of
|
|
Alaska. Stevens wants ISPs to be taxed in order to pay for
|
|
subsidized telephone service in Alaska under the Universal
|
|
Service Fund. It is imperative that people concerned about
|
|
the future of the Internet contact Congress in support of
|
|
the Internet Tax Freedom Act. You may easily do this by
|
|
visiting http://www.aop.org and clicking on the "Write
|
|
Congress" button.
|
|
|
|
** Online professionals also need to support the Coble and
|
|
Ashcroft bills to exempt IPSs from unwarranted lawsuits
|
|
over copyright. Congress needs to hear from you immediately
|
|
on this issue. You may easily do this by visiting
|
|
http://www.aop.org and clicking on the "Write Congress"
|
|
button.

Deep Thoughts Contest
|
|
|
|
-- From a newspaper contest where entrants were asked to imitate
|
|
"Deep Thoughts by Jack Handey"
|
|
|
|
HONORABLE MENTIONS:
|
|
|
|
My young son asked me what happens after we die. I told him we get
|
|
buried under a bunch of dirt and worms eat our bodies. I guess I
|
|
should have told him the truth--that most of us go to Hell and burn
|
|
eternally--but I didn't want to upset him.
|
|
|
|
It sure would be nice if we got a day off for the president's
|
|
birthday, like they do for the queen. Of course, then we would have
|
|
a lot of people voting for a candidate born on July 3 or December
|
|
26, just for the long weekends.
|
|
|
|
Democracy is a beautiful thing, except for that part about letting
|
|
just any old yokel vote.
|
|
|
|
Home is where the house is.
|
|
|
|
Often, when I am reading a good book, I stop and thank my teacher.
|
|
That is, I used to, until she got an unlisted number.
|
|
|
|
As you make your way through this hectic world of ours, set aside a
|
|
few minutes each day. At the end of the year, you'll have a couple
|
|
of days saved up.
|
|
|
|
It would be terrible if the Red Cross Bloodmobile got into an
|
|
accident. No, wait. That would be good because if anyone needed
|
|
it, the blood would be right there.
|
|
|
|
Give me the strength to change the things I can, the grace to accept
|
|
the things I cannot, and a great big bag of money.
|
|
FIDONEWS 14-39 Page 5 29 Sep 1997
|
|
|
|
|
|
The people who think Tiny Tim is strange are the same ones who think
|
|
it odd that I drive without pants.
|
|
|
|
For centuries, people thought the moon was made of green cheese.
|
|
Then the astronauts found that the moon is really a big hard rock.
|
|
That's what happens to cheese when you leave it out.
|
|
|
|
Think of the biggest number you can. Now add five. Then, imagine
|
|
if you had that many Twinkies. Wow, that's five more than the
|
|
biggest number you could come up with!
|
|
|
|
I bet living in a nudist colony takes all the fun out of Halloween.
|
|
|
|
The only stupid question is the one that is never asked, except
|
|
maybe "Don't you think it is about time you audited my return?" or
|
|
"Isn't is morally wrong to give me a warning when, in fact, I was
|
|
speeding?"
|
|
|
|
Once, I wept for I had no shoes. Then I came upon a man who had no
|
|
feet. So I took his shoes. I mean, it's not like he really needed
|
|
them, right?
|
|
|
|
When I go to heaven, I want to see my grandpa again. But he better
|
|
have lost the nose hair and the old-man smell.
|
|
|
|
I believe you should live each day as if it is your last, which is
|
|
why I don't have any clean laundry because, come on, who wants to
|
|
wash clothes on the last day of their life?
|
|
|
|
I often wonder how come John Tesh isn't as popular a singer as some
|
|
people think he should be. Then, I remember it's because he sucks.
|
|
|
|
Whenever I start getting sad about where I am in my life, I think
|
|
about the last words of my favorite uncle: "A truck!"
|
|
|
|
If you really want to impress people with your computer literacy,
|
|
add the words "dot com" to the end of everything you say, dot com.
|
|
|
|
I like to go down to the dog pound and pretend that I've found my
|
|
dog. Then I tell them to kill it anyway because I already gave away
|
|
all of his stuff. Dog people sure don't have a sense of humor.
|
|
|
|
THIRD RUNNER UP
|
|
|
|
I don't know about you, but I enjoy watching paint dry. I imagine
|
|
that the wet paint is a big freshwater lake that is the only source
|
|
of water for some tiny cities by the lake. As the lake gets drier,
|
|
the population gets more desperate, and sometimes there are water
|
|
riots. Once there was a big fire and everyone died.
|
|
|
|
SECOND RUNNER UP
|
|
|
|
I once heard the voice of God. It said "Vrrrrmmmmm." Unless it was
|
|
just a lawn mower.
|
|
|
|
FIRST RUNNER UP
|
|
FIDONEWS 14-39 Page 6 29 Sep 1997
|
|
|
|
|
|
I gaze at the brilliant full moon. The same one, I think to myself,
|
|
at which Socrates, Aristotle, and Plato gazed. Suddenly, I imagine
|
|
they appear beside me. I tell Socrates about the national debate
|
|
over one's right to die and wonder at the constancy of the human
|
|
condition. I tell Plato that I live in the country that has come
|
|
the closest to Utopia, and I show him a copy of the Constitution. I
|
|
tell Aristotle that we have found many more than four basic elements
|
|
and I show him a periodic table. I get a box of kitchen matches and
|
|
strike one. They gasp with wonder. We spend the rest of the night
|
|
lighting farts.
|
|
|
|
WINNER
|
|
|
|
If we could just get everyone to close their eyes and visualize
|
|
world peace for an hour, imagine how serene and quiet it would be
|
|
until the looting started.
