(Oh, no, it's that grammar >guy again! ) Well, if you approach the matter from a creative writing position, "first degree murder" is a cliche. Plus, environmental extremists might consider killing a deer "murder", while homicide is limited to strictly human death. >I just now wrote a response about how extreme your analogy was to a >Moxy Fruvous concert My analogy was not meant to correlate to the 'murder' of human babies (or, label them 'fetuses', if it makes you feel more comfy with abortion). But allow me to quote myself here: "let's take this concept to something more extreme". I was in full realization that the analogy was extreme to a concert, but alas it is an analogy, and since it's stronger, then it gets the point across more clearly. >Though your analogy does break down in the 'save two people' part. If >you want a closer analogy, consider your contribution a vote for a >particular issue. I don't believe that this analogy is closer to the case at all. In the case of a vote, there is a winner and a loser. In the analogy, if I give one more vote for my cause, then my cause would have a better chance of "winning" over the opposing cause. In the actual case, however, there is no "winner", meaning that the loser just goes home or that the proposition just doesn't get passed. In this case, when I give money to the opposing cause, they *use* it for things I don't believe in. It's not like giving money to the opposing cause *reverses* what the opposing cause has done with my money...not really. Giving twice as much to the cause I believe in would not stop that one abortion I *did* happen to support. >All I can say is that to attend such a Fruvous concert is a decision >that everyone has to make individually. I don't disagree that it is a >tough decision. For those who agree with this cause, the decision isn't tough at all. - --Novac "The early bird gets the worm, but the second mouse gets the cheese." ------------------------------ Date: 20 Aug 1998 00:27:16 GMT From: ourhamster@aol.com (OurHamster) Subject: Re: Hope Jian reads this, Nicole! >OurHamster dazzled us with the following: >: It really just depends on if the bar/club is paranoid >: about "serving minorities", especially if they've gotten into that sort of >: trouble within the last year or so. > >Wouldn't that be serving minors, not minorities?

(*sigh* I was *supposed* to be there...but I caught another Frübug during Frümiles weekend and I couldn't attend. :p What is this..3? 4? times I've been sick for shows..sheesh! ) Well, anyway -- they give the web address for writing comments about the festival, making their web site better etc. and they also give a big thank you to everyone who attended.

On behalf of the GBFS, thanks for another great Summerfolk! We will be having our AGM coming up in September, and will be having new people on the board and as committee volunteers. We will be reviewing and planning, so if you've ever wanted to get in on what we're doing, this would be a great time. Info on various committees and all that can be found at http://www.summerfolk.org/vol.htm We'd also like to invite your comments - reviews of the festival, things we could do better, things you really liked, how the web site could be made better, etc., so just dial up http://www.greenspun.com/com/summerfolk/index.html and SCROLL to the bottom to add your comments.

I, for one, find these personal notes to be one of the most endearing qualities of this newsgroup. It lends a sense of community and connection beyond our mutual interest in Fruvous. Iwould miss hearing about Rosemary's kids(exteremely subtle hint). Fruvous is about much more than their music. They have a genuine concern for their "fans" as human beings and these sort of post carry on that message. OK to get to the point, no apology necessary, as far as i am concerned. I would be interested in hearing about Meatball whether in this forum or an e-mail ------------------------------ Date: Wed, 19 Aug 1998 21:16:23 -0400 From: epbuckley@mindspring.com (ellen p. buckley) Subject: Re: All Things Considered - TOMORROW In article <35DAF629.556C902F@null.net>, eslinger@null.net wrote: >specifically memorize your supposed zodiac sign. that's a pretty common >tactic for bouncers to pull on you if they think something is fishy. also make sure you know the year you're supposed to have graduated high school, the address on the license (probably not a problem if it's your sister's ;) , and be able to mimic the face in the picture. i had a bouncer who made me smile about 40 times once to see if i had the same smile at the chyk in the picture. by the 20th time or so, i was having trouble working one up. ;) *whew* these days i actually wish someone *would* card me. peace, ellen (and after all that, he didn't even let me in) ************************************************************ "sometimes the songs that we hear ellen p. buckley are just songs of our own..." ************************************************************ ------------------------------ Date: 20 Aug 1998 01:49:09 GMT From: affannat@mail1.sas.upenn.edu (Kelly D Affannato) Subject: Re: My pet guinea pig, Meatball Ok; To follow up, Meatball has pneumonia.

Kelly... coming from Western PA, i've found the subtle differences bt redneck, inbred & hick. here's a quick primer for you. NOTE: these are stereotypes based on 20 years of living in Butler County, PA. If anyone in the NG should disagree w/ me, i'll give you a guided tour of my hometown. ;-) hick: the least obvious level. i'm a self-admitted hick, meaning that i am from the middle of nowhere & have been sheltered. And, hicks have been known to escape from the middle of nowhere, too. redneck: generally listens to country music (no offence to those fans), owns a beat-up pick up truck, generally seen wearing jeans, a dirty t-shirt & a baseball cap (a cowboy hat is also common along w/ large belt buckles) inbred: see Deliverance. personal hygiene is optional. teeth are often missing. advice: run away! *plink plink* - -Snow ------------------------------ End of alt.music.moxy-fruvous digest V1 #322 ********************************************
