But I got the worst thing in USA, never possible in communist country. I was set up with my computer, convicted as a s..x offender for computer p..rn. Now I do not have job and can hardly survive under police database supervision, named s..x offender registration. Nobody want to hire me, I think because of police database. And I have family. Who cares? Dirty polititians are playing their dirty games for more power. I would like to send you some links to publications about my criminal case. I was forced to confess to the possession of internet digital pictures of p..rn in deleted clusters of my computer hard drive. My browser was hijacked while I was browsing the web. I was redirected to illegal sites against my will. Some illegal pictures were found on my hard drive, recovering in unallocated clusters, without dates of file creation/download. I do not know how courts can widely press these charges on people to convict them, while the whole Internet is a mess.

Others just invite you to think. Baudrillard’s hyperprose demands only that you grunt wide-eyed or bewildered assent. He yearns to have intellectual influence, but must fend off any serious analysis of his own writing, remaining free to leap from one bombastic assertion to the next, no matter how brazen. Your place is simply to buy his books, adopt his jargon, and drop his name wherever possible.[18] Dylan says Joe's prose is poorly written. Dylan does name drop wherever possible confirming Denis Dutton's contention. Dylan is a wanker.

I seriously thought the world was going to end in nuclear war any second and became afraid of dying or having to live out the rest of my life in a post-apocalyptic nightmare. Thankfully I'm an adult who has learned to see through the B.S. now, but I can't imagine what nightmarish scenarios are going through the heads of our children, all based on lies to propogate world domination, when they should really be learning who the real enemy is and their names aren't Mohammed and they don't work for the Taliban.

If you truly wat to know more you must read John Coleman's, "The Committee of 300."

Right, but the problem is they are a lot more apt to use it. Regular honey bees send out a few hundred bees to chase off intruders. The Africans send out thousands and will follow you for up to half a mile. It's like the difference between a pistol and an automatic weapon: the bullet may be the same but look out! Don't underestimate African Bees. Pete You wrote: “the [African] bee’s sting was no more toxic than any other bee’s.” Right, but the problem is they are a lot more apt to use it.

Not the world according to Bigfoot. Many of the people I have worked with in the past fifty year have thought like this. All they life to do is put a brick though the window of the up load truck, folks don't like being lied to buy the suits. This is the a voice from the real America. Not the world according to Bigfoot.
