How about "Take the 5 Train," a variation on two themes, by Mark Weisenheimer. Me either. OK here's a "page 3" correction. ATI will no longer use the phrase "Changing The Face Of The World." A crease & resist order has been graciously accepted from the owner of the words (even before it were sent!) and we will do them even one better, agreeing never again to use the words "world," "face," or "change." As for the words "the" and "of" sorry, no can do. We tried, we really tried. But we'll have to take liberty there. So sorry. Did somebody say "Pound Sand?" The Donald McRonald Rainforest Policy - reduce, reuse recycle, what a kroc! The lady dragging Elian out of his 5am temporary Miami home, did she drop him just outside the door jam? I thought for sure that's what I saw; but now they won't show that part of the footage anymore. They just keep showing reruns with gaps the size of old Nixxon tapes. Did she drop him or not?? Show me! Is that what CNN meant by resilient? Oye! Como VA!! When the DOWn plummets, just show NASD and S&P Futures for an hour or so, it'll fix itself soon.

I want you to snap out of it for just a second and admit it. It's NOT talent, beauty OR dialogue that gets you high here, keeps you captivated long enough to take in some 5.9 commercials at a time. It's teenage navel. And verily I say the joke's on you. Because these teenagers? Aren't boppers at all! Shiny, happy, eating-disordered 22-yr-olds. OK Go back to your usual programming now.

"DISLAIMER: TOUCHED UP PHOTO" should be right there in 10point bold. And finally ending this rant, I have an OPEN LETTER TO JAY SEVERIN. Pound puppies, ex-hipster. If Gore WERE a socialist, or even a republican, I might vote for him. But he's NOT a socialist, Jay. Go back to either torts or western civ. and get some more head-nourishment. He's a pro-police-state democrat, Jay. There's a big difference. Just because your linear model works in Boston doesn't mean it'll work in NATty Politics, OK?

After all the hacker ethic is to never harm computer systems, and that is now happening frequently enough that the media, general public, now believe we are no longer people of this nation, this world of people that want freedom of information, but we are neo-terrorists. Now, you and I believe that the general hacking community believe in strong ethics such as never harming a computersystem, never use your skill for your ego, and etc. But one thing is clear, there are/is a community of crackers that have been recently making US look BAD. Now we can express are views all we want to the media, politicians, and general public, but that will do nothing more then make us look like lyers in their eye. So I post this message today, with my bad spelling, and my crappy speach to ask, what can WE, members of the international hacker community, do to get the politicians, media, and public off are back? Because after all, we are not harmless, but we have a sense of true responablity with are talents, we do not use them to harm any one, and we don't use it against the government. But crackers out on the net use such talnets as mentioned above to do those exact operations, and we are there scape goats. Well anyhow, I must get going, please feel free to speak your mind.. Sincerely, GiGKiLLeR Hey Marco, Just a note....the WTO riots here in the Seattle area were horrible. Peaceful protesters were teargassed, pushed around by police like cattle, threatened with arrest JUST for being there. Welcome to Amerika, where they SAY we're free but smart people know better. The doors to the independant media building were barricaded shut by police trapping the people within inside the building. Suppose that building had caught fire? The Seattle mayor sucks and so do the police. Peaceful demonstrators were hurt by the police, and their right to assemble peacefully were violated in many ways. Even a reporter for WBAI was pushed around by police, when she showed them her press pass, the cop was heard to say "I don't care". If the cop didn't care then they shouldn't be a cop. (You can find this on the 2600 webste in the Off The Hook archives.) Police everywhere are out of control. (Unarmed NY man shot 41 times by police for example.) Times are changing in the world, and people are starting to protest more and more. It is our right as Americans to peacefully assemble and don't let anyone tell you different. --Deeply Shrouded & Quiet PS: GZ, where are you?

Remain competitive in the marketplace Await pinkslip Best in the field Only in the field An Open Letter to the Hattiesburg Public School District To the Administrators, Teachers, and Students of Hattiesburg High School: I am a 1982 graduate of HHS. It would be fitting to say that of all the classes I took at HHS, there was no class I enjoyed more than Journalism I. Mrs. Neda Richards was a very tolerant teacher, as she put up with my antics in the classroom. Either thru luck or good writing, I had a few pieces published in the school paper, "Hi-Flashes". I still have those today, saved for my own son, Matt. In the years after graduation, I have used my journalistic skills more than a few times. I have written stories for company newsletters and small newspapers. I am also in the process of writing a book called "The Hosshead Companion", which is about the music of Waylon Jennings. But one of the biggest joys of my adult life was having an article published in an electronic magazine called Activist Times, Inc., concerning an entity called Channel One called "Barbarians In The Classroom: A Look At Channel One". The article dealt with commercialization in public schools via the Channel One TV program and the efforts taken to have it removed from local schools. Therefore, I was extremely shocked and saddened when I found out my alma mater is now a Channel One school. If you've never seen a "Simpsons" episode called "Mr. Lisa Goes To Washington," here's the plot. Lisa wins a patriotic essay writing contest, and wins a trip to Washington D.C. to compete in the national finals. In her search for inspiration for her entry, she witnesses a crooked senator accepting a bribe from a lobbyist. Suffice it to say my reaction was similar to Lisa's. As you are no doubt aware, Channel One has been called "the most controversial show on television". And for good reason. Schools that sign a contract with Primedia (Channel One's parent company, also parent company of RJR Nabisco) are loaned TV sets for each classroom, fixed-band satellite equipment for reception of the program, two VCR's (one for recording, one for playback), and enough coaxial cable to wire the school. In return, the HPSD agrees to show the entire Channel One program, including two minutes of commercials. They also agree to show the program to 80% of the students present, on 90% of scheduled class days during school hours. It troubles me deeply that the HPSD would become involved in such a psuedo-educational venture. The stated purpose of Channel One's existence is to "penetrate the teen market". And it does that very well. Companies such as Coca-Cola and M&M/Mars pay millions of dollars to have their commercials aired on Channel One. These advertisements do not generate any income for the HPSD, but are required nonetheless to carry them if they want to keep TV equipment they don't even own. Commercials aside, the Channel One program itself is also controversial in the fact that materialistic attitudes are not only developed, but encouraged. This, in my opinion, is a very unhealthy attitude to foster in a classroom. Not to mention nutritionally questionable foods such as Pringles and Snickers. Many educational associations oppose the use of Channel One in schools. These organizations include the National PTA, American Federation of Teachers, and the NEA. In case you're wondering, there are other news programs out there. CNN produces a news program tailored for High School students called "CNN Classroom". This program is produced by an award-winning, internationally respected news organization, not an advertising agency. And, it can be received over any rooftop antenna (on WMAH, ch.19 for those without cable) free of charge. And, there isn't an advertisement in sight. I call upon the Administration, Teachers, and Students of HHS to put an end to commercialization in the classroom. Standing on your principles and refusing to compromise journalistic ethics for a company that sees you as little more than a marketing tool would be the best lesson for all concerned.
