21 JUST SAW A THING ON ABC ABOUT 1984, AND YOU KNOW WHAT? THE
|
|
22 POSSIBLITIES IN REGARD TO 1984 AREN'T WHAT BOTHERS ME, IT'S
|
|
23 THOSE WIERDO'S WHO ARE RUNNING THINGS! THEIR NARROW MINDED
|
|
24 VIEW POINTS ARE FRIGHTENING! ONE SAID THAT THE MOST DANGEROUS
|
|
25 PROBLEM IS THE GOVERNMENT OBTAINING DATA FROM CORPORATIONS.
|
|
26 ANOTHER SAID IT WAS THAT THERE WAS NOT ENOUGH OF THAT! AND THE
|
|
27 ABC GUY WAS BABLING THAT IT WAS NONE OF THAT, IT WAS ALL DUE
|
|
28 TO THE RUSSIANS! MEAN WHILE DR. EHRLICH WAS OFF ON HIS OWN
|
|
29 TANGENT ABOUT NUCLEAR DISASTER AND TO HECK WITH 1984!
|
|
30 WE HAVE A VERY GOOD REFERENCE POINT TO BASE OUR CONCEPTS OF
|
|
31 FREEDOM UPON, IT'S CALLED THE 'BILL OF RIGHTS'. IT IS THE
|
|
32 CONTINUED EROSION OF THESE RIGHTS THAT WORRIES ME MORE THEN
|
|
33 ANYTHING ELSE. THIS IS THE VERY FOUNDATION OF OUR COUNTRY! THE
|
|
34 VERY CONCEPTS BY WHICH IT WAS FORMED! IT IS FEARFUL TO SEE
|
|
35 THESE RIGHTS SLOWLY BEING EATEN AWAY A LITTLE BIT A TIME AND
|
|
36 IN THE NAME OF FREEDOM ITSELF!!! NOTHING IS SACRED IF IT MEANS
|
|
37 THAT IT WILL ALLOW OUR SO CALLED LEADERS A GREATER AMOUNT OF
|
|
38 CONTROL OVER HOW THEY RUN OUR LIVES. AFTER ALL, "IT'S FOR OUR
|
|
39 OWN GOOD". THE POLICE NEED THOSE RECORDS SO THEY CAN ARREST US
|
|
40 BEFORE WE DO SOMETHING WRONG. THE IRS NEEDS THEM TO MAKE SURE
|
|
41 THAT WE AREN'T GOING TO CHEAT THEM OUT OF 10 CENTS. WE GOTTA
|
|
42 MAKE THOSE NASTY JOURNALISTS DEVULGE THEIR SOURCES SO THAT WE
|
|
43 CAN ARREST THEM SO THEY CAN'T SQUEAL ON OUR B'LOVED LEADERS
|
|
44 AGAIN! YES, WE CAN'T ALLOW OUR ALMIGHTY LEADERS TO LOOSE ANY
|
|
45 POWER OVER OUR LIVES. WHY.. WHY.. THAT WOULD BE ANTI-SOCIAL!

|
|
58 HI, Y'ALL. HERE'S SOMETHING I WAS GOING TO PUT ON HERE A LONG TIME AGO, BUT
|
|
59 DID'NT.
|
|
60 UTOPIA: TO ATTAIN UTOPIA IN THE TRUE SENSE OF THE WORD WOULD BE IMPOSSIBLE
|
|
61 AT THIS POINT IN HISTORY. FOLLOW:1. YOU CAN'T PLEASE ALL OF THE PEOPLE ALL
|
|
62 OF THE TIME.2. ALL WOULD NOT AGREE ON THE WAY OR MANNER TO ACCOMPLISH THE
|
|
63 DOING AWAY WITH SOCIAL AND POLITICAL EVILS.3. THERE IS NO HUMAN GOVERNMENT
|
|
64 OR POLITICAL IDEAL THAT ALL PEOPLE SUBSCRIBE TO AS BEING RIGHT.4. MOST PEO-
|
|
65 PLE ASSERT THEIR OWN WILL OVER OTHERS.(NOT NECESSARILY WRONG BUT SOMETIMES
|
|
66 SELFISH)5. ALSO, NO HUMAN GOVERNMENT OR INSTITUTION CAN CONTROL OR STOP
|
|
67 SICKNESS, DEATH, OR POLLUTION.6. EVERYONE HAS THEIR OWN IDEA OF PROPER HUMAN
|
|
68 RIGHTS.WHICH A<LWAYS SUPRESSES OR EXCLUDES OTHERS DEEMED LESS THAN HUMAN BY
|
|
69 THEIR OWN PARTICULAR PEER GROUP.
|
|
70 WE FIND OURSELVES LIVING AT THE HEIGHT OF THE "ME"GENERATION. (HOPEFULLY IT
|
|
71 WON'T PROCEED HIGHER) MANY PEOPLE DO THEIR OWN THING TO THE EXTENT OF TAKING
|
|
72 FREEDOM AWAY FROM OTHERS, FOR INSTANCE CHILD ABUSE. AND BRINGING IMPOSSIBLE
|
|
73 LIVING CONDITIONS FOR OTHERS, CONSIDER LOVE CANAL.
|
|
74 ANYHEY, SO THE ONLY WAY UTOPIA COULD BE ACHEIVED IS FOR THERE TO BE ONE GOV-
|
|
75 ERNMENT OR POLITICAL IDEAL ALL AGREED TO. ONE THAT COULD ALSO DO AWAY WITH
|
|
76 SICKNESS, AND DISEASES, NOT TO MENTION DEATH.(HOW TRIVIAL) ALSO THEIR WOULD
|
|
77 HAVE TO BE TRUE EQUAL RIGHTS.
|
|
78 AND WHO BELIEVES ANY OF THESE COULD BE ATTAINED?
|
|
79 BY THE WAY ANYONE KNOW OF ANY BB # IN THE SEATTLE AREA. I'D SURE APPRECIATE

82 Hello, my name is Annie and I'm new to the Inn, but I've been observing for
|
|
83 a little while now.
|
|
84 I've noticed some interesting topics come up so far. For instance one sub-
|
|
85 ject that particularly interested me was that of Mysticism. Exactly what
|
|
86 are you refering to? Spiritism or an evil of a sort within each one? I
|
|
87 feel that there is one who world wide along with associates are promoteing
|
|
88 the increasing interest in mystic and occult matters. But he won't last
|
|
89 long. Something better is in the making, I wonder?

|
232 to THE DOCTOR:
|
|
233 As a struggling student on
|
|
234 the way to a Doctorate of Medicine,
|
|
235 I thought I would inform you and all
|
|
236 other users of an interesting bit
|
|
237 of information. I feel , as a new user
|
|
238 of this board, that an intelligent
|
|
239 topic of discussion is in order.
|
|
240 How about "CIGARETTE SMOKING"?
|
|
241
|
|
242 Cigarette smokers are at an increased
|
|
243 risk of premature death, usually from
|
|
244 bronchopulmonary or cardiovascular
|
|
245 disease. The life expectancy of an
|
|
246 average 30-yr-old (m or f) who smokes
|
|
247 15 cigarettes/day is shortened by more
|
|
248 than 5 yrs. The incidence of cigarette
|
|
249 smoking in the USA declined somewhat
|
|
250 after 1964 when health risks associated
|
|
251 with smoking were first widely stressed
|
|
252 but it is again on the increase and
|
|
253 poses one of the greatest public
|
|
254 health problems in the Western world
|
|
255 today.
|
|
256
|
|
257 CHEMISTRYAND AND PHARMACOLOGY:
|
|
258 --------------------------
|
|
259 Tobacco smoke is a mixture of gases
|
|
260 and minute droplets of tar; nearly
|
|
261 1000 components of tobacco smoke
|
|
262 have been indentified. Though some
|
|
263 components are filtered off as the
|
|
264 smoke is drawn through the unburned
|
|
265 tobacco, they are redistilled as
|
|
266 the burning ember advances, and the
|
|
267 smoke in each successive puff becomes
|
|
268 more concentrated. Since cigarette
|
|
269 smoke is less irritating than pipe
|
|
270 or cigar smoke, it is more likely
|
|
271 to be inhaled. Pipe or cigar smoke,
|
|
272 being more irritating, is less
|
|
273 likely to be inhaled. Thus,pipe
|
|
274 or cigar smoking is much less
|
|
275 hazardous than cigarette smoking,
|
|
276 though it is not completely
|
|
277 innocuous.
|
|
278 Substances of medical importance
|
|
279 in the smoke may be separated into
|
|
280 four main groups:
|
|
281
|
|
282 1. CARCINOGENS AND CARCINOCARCINOGENS
|
|
283 are present in the tar. Carcinogens
|
|
284 (principally polycyclic aromatic
|
|
285 alcohols) initiate cancer formation.
|
|
286 Cocarcinogens(including phenols,
|
|
287 fatty acids,and free fatty acids)
|
|
288 accelerate the production of
|
|
289 cancer by other initiators. Many
|
|
290 cocarcinogens are also irritants.
|
|
291
|
|
292 2. IRRITANTS cause immediate and
|
|
293 bronchoconstriction after smoke
|
|
294 inhalation, inhibit cilial action
|
|
295 in the bronchial epithelium, and
|
|
296 stimulate bronchial mucus secretion.
|
|
297
|
|
298 (line should read "immediate cough")
|
|
299
|
|
300 3. NICOTINE principally affects the
|
|
301 nervous system and is probably
|
|
302 responsible for a smoker's pharma-
|
|
303 cologic dependence on cigarettes.
|
|
304 The effects are complex and include
|
|
305 stimulation or sedation, depending
|
|
306 on the dose and on the smoker's
|
|
307 physical and physiologic state.
|
|
308 Nicotine indirectly affects the
|
|
309 circulation by provoking
|
|
310 catecholamine release which causes
|
|
311 tachycardia, increased cardiac
|
|
312 output,vasoconstriction, and
|
|
313 increased blood pressure. Nicotine
|
|
314 also increases serum free fatty
|
|
315 acid concentration and platelet
|
|
316 adhesiveness, and inhibits
|
|
317 pancreatic bicarbonate secretion.
|
|
318
|
|
319 4. TOXIC GASES in cigarette smoke
|
|
320 include carbon monoxide, hydrogen
|
|
321 sulphide, and hydrocyanic acid. The
|
|
322 average carboxyhemoglobin level in
|
|
323 persons smoking one pack/day is
|
|
324 about 5%,compared to less than 1%
|
|
325 in non-smokers. This reduces the
|
|
326 amount of Hb available for O2 transport
|
|
327 and shifts the HbO2 dissociation curve
|
|
328 to the left, impairing O2 release
|
|
329 to the tissues. Exposure to carbon
|
|
330 monoxide may also increase
|
|
331 atheroma formation.
|
|
332
|
|
333 DISEASES RELATED TO SMOKING:
|
|
334
|
|
335 1. Lung Cancer:Squamous cell and
|
|
336 oat cell lung carcinoma are
|
|
337 associated with smoking. Epidemiologic
|
|
338 studies have shown that men who
|
|
339 smoke more than one pack/day are
|
|
340 about 20 times more at risk of
|
|
341 developing lung cancer than are
|
|
342 nonsmokers. The risk is greatest
|
|
343 in those who inhale, take more
|
|
344 puffs/cigarette, relight half
|
|
345 smoked cigarettes, and start
|
|
346 smoking at an early age. Filter tips
|
|
347 may offer some protection.
|
|
348 Laboratory experiments show that
|
|
349 tobacco smoke condensate can
|
|
350 produce skin cancer in animals,and
|
|
351 that animals inhaling cigarette
|
|
352 smoke may develop cancer of the
|
|
353 larynx or lung.
|
|
354
|
|
355 2. Chronic bronchitis and emphysema
|
|
356 deaths are also about 20 times more
|
|
357 frequent in heavysmokers. Both
|
|
358 diseases can be produced in animals
|
|
359 exposed to cigarette smoke. Pulmon-
|
|
360 ary function tests often show
|
|
361 airflow obstuction in the small
|
|
362 airways even before chronic
|
|
363 expectoration develops. The
|
|
364 adverse effect of smoking on
|
|
365 mucociliary clearance mechanisms
|
|
366 predisposes smokers to
|
|
367 bronchopulmonary infection.
|
|
368
|
|
369 3. Cardiovascular diseases:
|
|
370 Cigarette smoking accelerates
|
|
371 atherosclerosis and may double
|
|
372 the risk of myocardial infarction.
|
|
373 Smoking may precipitate an angina
|
|
374 attack or ischemic ECG changes in
|
|
375 patients with coronary artery
|
|
376 disease. The risk of developing
|
|
377 cerebrovascular disease, peripheral
|
|
378 vascular disease, or nonsyphilitic
|
|
379 aortic aneurysm is also increased in
|
|
380 smokers.
|
|
381
|
|
382 4. Pregnancy: The mean birth
|
|
383 weight of infants born to mothers
|
|
384 who smoke during prgnancy is 6oz
|
|
385 less than that of infants born to
|
|
386 nonsmoking mothers. The incidence
|
|
387 of spontaneous abortion, stillbirth
|
|
388 , and neonatal death may also be
|
|
389 increased in pregnant women who
|
|
390 smoke.
|
|
391
|
|
392 5. Extrapulmonary cancers:
|
|
393 Associated with smoking are cancers
|
|
394 of the mouth,pharynx,larynx,esophagus,
|
|
395 bladder, and pancreas.
|
|
396
|
|
397 6. Peptic (especially gastric)
|
|
398 ulceration occurs more frequently
|
|
399 and has a higher mortality rate
|
|
400 in cigarette smokers than in non
|
|
401 smokers. In addition, the effective-
|
|
402 ness of medical treatment for
|
|
403 peptic ulceration is reduced, and the
|
|
404 rate of ulcer healing is slowed.
|
|
405
|
|
406 7. Other conditions: Pulmonary
|
|
407 tuberculosis is more common in smokers
|
|
408 ,perhaps due to activation of old
|
|
409 tuberulous foci. Tobacco amblyopia
|
|
410 may be caused by optic nerve damgeage
|
|
411 due to the toxic action of cyanides
|
|
412 in cigarette smoke in smokers with
|
|
413 vitamin B12 deficiency (common).
|
|
414 Smokers are also liable to develop
|
|
415 gingivits and require early dental
|
|
416 extractions. Their physical fitness
|
|
417 is reduced because of impaired pulmonary
|
|
418 function and Hb transport of O2 to
|
|
419 the tissues.
|
|

421
|
|
422 I have tryed to point out some
|
|
423 interesting items on a subject
|
|
424 of interest to all who care for
|
|
425 the quality of their lives.I hope
|
|
426 I have brought it to you in a manner
|
|
427 easily understood and as a new
|
|
428 year's resolve, Lets all stop
|
|
429 smoking. For OUR Health.
|
|
430
|
|
431 P.S. I would like to see more
|
|
432 conversing along these subject
|
|
433 lines in the future.

452 Dear "future doctor":I have several bones to pick with you!
|
|
453 1.Most terminals have more than 40 column displays. Most of the terminals &
|
|
454 computers that don't, will "wraparound" to the next line. Thus you used
|
|
455 TWICE as much space as was necessary. Please avoid this in the future!
|
|
456 2.Based on attendance at the BWMS "not-a-pizza-party", I don't really
|
|
457 think that there are all that many smokers on the system.
|
|
458 3.As long as they aren't forcing ME to breathe THEIR smoke secondhand, I
|
|
459 feel that if an adult wishes to smoke (or commit "slow suicide" in any other
|
|
460 way) that is their right.
|
|
461 4.There is a 5th category. "Unknown substances" which may have effects not
|
|
462 being taken into account.
|
|
463 5.Finally, I'd like to have a discussion with you, too. Unfortunately,
|
|
464 neither your message, nor mine are anything other than monologues intended
|
|
465 to lecture people on how "wrong" something is.

|
|
468 "future doctor":
|
|
469 A definate no-no in using 40 col; yet still worth dropping to the
|
|
470 system. Addressing Leonards comments, we only had 2 out of 10 persons
|
|
471 smoking (Alex, your friend was somking to, right?) at the N-A-P party.
|
|
472 Leonard's comment about "monologues intending to lecture people on how
|
|
473 'wrong' something is", was, I believe, unjustified. Your text was a clear,
|
|
474 concise overview of the dangers associated with smoking (with only a
|
|
475 tidbit of preaching appended at the end!).
|
|
476
|
|
477 MIKE OF CISTOPdom:
|
|
478 Please (please!) take 10 deep breaths before bannishing Future
|
|
479 Doc's text to never-never land. It has some merit (if i may be so bold)
|
|
480 , and I did want to get thru this disk in a hurry anway...

503 I think one thing that should also be mentioned is that smoking is
|
|
504 also considered disgusting by a large amount of people. If they

512 HAS BEEN GONE OVER MANY TIMES(ALTHOUGH NOT IN THAT GREAT OF DETAIL).

513 HOW ABOUT SOME INFORMATION ON ANOTHER SUBJECT NOT AS COMMON?

519 I.S.S: Yep, I think that our government has every right to control the lives
|
|
520 of its citizens, and in whatever way it sees fit. Though sometimes, I almost
|
|
521 agree with Scrooge. He said "Let them die, and decrease the surplus popula-
|
|
522 tion", and I might change that to say "Let them die, and help improve the
|
|
523 human gene pool", as those that will not do those things necessary to pro-
|
|
524 tect their own lives are contra-survival for the race, and deserve whatever
|
|
525 they get. But, in the process of killing themselves off, they place a burden
|
|
526 on the rest of society by sapping our reserves and sucking off us through
|
|
527 social welfare programs. So these people must be controled for their own
|
|
528 (and our own) good. We can't just ship them off to a Botany Bay, or some
|
|
529 other planet (though it might not be a bad idea for all you bleeding hearts
|
|
530 out there), but we can demand that they not damage themselves and then suck
|
|
531 off of the rest of us for the remainder of their lives!

600 AH, IT SEEMS THAT MY FINISHING DB HAS NOW BECOME A TRADITION. I AM
|
|
601 TRULY HONORED! AND "TASTEFULLY", TOO. IT MAY BE HARD FOR ME TO LIVE UP TO
|
|
602 THOSE WORDS, BUT I WILL TRY TO DO SO IN THE FUTURE.
|
|
603
|
|
604 JON, AS YOU CAN SEE, THIS SECTION OF THE INN IS IGNORED ONCE A NEW
|
|
605 TABLE HAS BEEN OPENED IN A CLEANER PART OF THE INN, AND ONLY THOSE OF US
|
|
606 WITH A PERSISTANT DESIRE TO BE PARTY TO ALL THE CONVERSATION THAT OCCURS IN
|
|
607 THIS WELL USED ROOM WILL ENDEVOR TO USE THE REMAINING AREA. I COLLECT ALL
|
|
608 THAT I CAN OF THESE CONVERSATIONS, AND I SHUDDER TO THINK THAT I MIGHT MISS
|
|
609 SOMETHING ALONG THE WAY, THAT SOME COMMENT (NO MATTER HOW INCONSEQUENTIAL)
|
|
610 MIGHT PASS ME BY. SO IT SOON HAPPENED THAT I BEGAN FILLING THESE SPACES IN
|
|
611 ORDER THAT THEY BE FILLED BY SOMETHING, ANYTHING, AND NOT BE LEFT EMPTY AND
|
|
612 ALONE. AND I REJOICE TO SEE THAT SO MANY HAVE RESPONDED THAT THEY DO LISTEN
|
|
613 TO WHAT IS HAPPENING OVER HERE, EVEN IF THEY HAVE BECOME INVOLVED IN HEATED
|
|
614 DISCUSSION IN MORE BRIGHTLY LIT CORNERS.
|
|
615 THE "COMPRESS" COMMAND THE OLD TIMER WAS REFERRING TO IS AN EDITING
|
|
616 FUNCTION HIDDEN BEHIND THE BAR, WHERE OUR BELOVED CISTOP MIKEY (NO LONGER
|
|
617 DESEASED, EH CYS?) CAN REMOVED THE EMPTY SPACE CAUSED BY DELETED LINES.
|
|
618 WHEN A LINE IS DELETED, RATHER THAN REPLACED, IT STILL FILLS SPACE ON THE
|
|
619 DISK, BUT CAN BE RETURNED TO US WHEN THE INNKEEPER PERFORMS HIS HOUSEKEEPING
|
|
620 AFTER HOURS. SUDDENLY, SPACE IS OPENED UP OVER HERE, BUT MOST OF THE
|
|
621 PATRONS HAVE MOVED ON.
|
|
622
|
|
623 ONCE AGAIN, THE INN IS IN TRANSITION. SOME CUSTOMERS FROM OTHER TIMES
|
|
624 HAVE RETURNED, AND MANY OF THE DEBATERS HAVE LEFT, EITHER OUT OF BOREDOM,
|
|
625 ANGER, OR PERHAPS MERELY DUE TO THE NEED TO ATTEND TO OTHER ENGAGEMENTS.
|
|
626 SUCH CHANGE PRODUCES A FEELING OF MELANCHOLY IN ME, BUT ALSO ONE OF EXCITE-
|
|
627 MENT AS THE NEW REPLACES THE OLD, BUT RESEMBLING THE OLDER IN SO MANY WAYS.
