RC> Hello All!

 RC> Klahnunism
 RC> ==========

 RC> The way things are or ought to be, under Klahnunism in
 RC> Klahntopia.

 The fact that you can't argue a point without turning it into
 arguing the person is an indication of the weakness of your
 position, and your personal inability to carry a point.

 RC> 1. The Government Is Mother, the Government Is Father.

 If that were so, why do I belong to the party that has
 consistently pushed jobs as the answer to poverty? Whereas you
 support the side that increases welfare and poverty.

 RC> 2. Conservatism is Illegal.

 Nonsense. I would never try to criminalize error. I firmly
 support your right to be wrong. A right you exercise so very
 often.

 RC> 3. The Second Amendment Is Repealed.

 I own a rifle. Notice I said a rifle, not a gun. Ok a Carbine to
 be more precise. But not a gun.

 RC> 4. If one gets rich, is rich and achieved the resulting
 RC> wealth because of hard work, great skill, they must have

 Wealth and rich are nebulous terms. However, the very rich never
 become that way because of hard work and great skill, other than
 great skill at getting true wealth producers money away from
 them.

 RC> exploited the system, and must be punished by having said
 RC> wealth or a huge percentage of it forcibly confiscated by
 RC> Mother And Father, See Rule #1.

 Not at all, the wonderously generous very rich will give
 willingly.

 RC> 5. As a result of Rule #4, stock brokers, sales of any
 RC> nature involving commissions and being a professional
 RC> athlete, benefiting from games of chance are illegal.

 Uh... boy did you mix those up. Stock brokers aren't all bad,
 but many are. Or, more precisely, unproductive. If they work for
 the good of the clients they do provide a worthwhile service. If
 they churn the client's portfolio they deserve to go to prison.

 Commissions are another matter entirely. They can be very good,
 because they often result in much better service. However, since
 I don't know of anyone who became very rich through commissions
 on work he did personally, I don't see your point. Even H Ross
 Perot had to quit his commission job to start his own company to
 get rich.

 As to Atheletes, I have previously stated my position that,
 since they are out there actually doing their job in front of
 the world, they can claim they deserve their pay. I often don't
 agree, but so do most fans when a star blows it.

 RC> 6. Per Rule #5 the following areas will be converted to
 RC> Section 8 Housing:

 Wrong! The whole point of the democratic economic philosophy is
 to do away with welfare housing by moving people into decent
 jobs paying a living wage. IOW, we want to eliminate poverty,
 not subsidize it. Welfare is just a temporary stopgap. Or would
 be if the republicans would stop screwing up the economy.

 RC>    Wall Street And All Other Financial Districts.

 No, Wall Street is schedualed to be nuked. Didn't you read the
 exchanges with Richard Webb? Pay attention man!

 RC>    All Professional Sporting Venues.

 Not as long as the Mud Hens do well, fool.

 RC>    Las Vegas NV, Atlantic City NJ and all other venues
 RC>    catering to games of chance.

 I do believe gambling should be illegal. It is a threat to
 society.

 RC> 7. The poor shall be rewarded by being able to live in
 RC> places such as what is provided for by Rule #6 and live off
 RC> of what Rule #4 provides.

 There won't be any poor, so that part is absurd.

 RC> Those receiving this, will show
 RC> their gratitude by thinking the Klahnites are helping them,
 RC> therefore will eternally vote for Klahnunistic candidates
 RC> for public office.

 Hell, they will become candidates. And likely much better than
 the best the republicans can come up with. Looking at the
 current crop, that could be no better than a team of broken down
 race horses. Esp since gambling ... oh well...

 RC> 8. Regardless of what one makes, all people shall enjoy the
 RC> same net take home pay, example:

 That would be dumb. Just take unemployment down to trivial and
 that will work itself out. Remember, a couple decades ago the
 typical CEO made about 30 times what the average worker made, or
 less. Today it's more like 400 times.

 Back in the late '60s Robert Townsend set the figure at 7 times.
 Back when he became CEO of Avis.

 RC>    This is called the New Fair Tax System.

 The current system isn't too bad, once we repeal all the Bush
 distortions.

 RC> 9. Right To Work States are abolished, all workers must
 RC> join a union.

 Unions won't be necessary once we get unemployment down to where
 workers can expect to find a job in a hurry if their current
 employer turns into a company of bastards. Remember what I said
 about that so many times before?

 RC> 10. Birth Control Pills, IUD's and condoms are abolished in
 RC> favor of the new birth control, a scientific breakthrough
 RC> called "Abortion".

 Now that was truly stupid. I am a practicing Catholic and
 pro-life. AS I have made plain over and over. However, it seems
 like you won't let facts stand in the way of a rant. Typical
 right winger.

 RC> 11. In concert with Rule #10, abstinence is illegal.

 Another stupid statement. I have raised three daughters to
 adulthood, even by the old standard of age 21. And none of them
 became pregnant before adulthood. Ok, only one has even after
 that, and she has been married like 18 years.

 How many have you raised? How did they turn out?

 RC> 12. Homosexuality is no longer to be considered a protected
 RC> classification, instead it is a promoted classification.

 Stupid. It is a MYOB classification.

 RC> 13. In concert with Rule #12, hetereosexuals are to be
 RC> considered deviants.

 Well, I never denied being a bit warped. As to deviant, just who
 is the standard deviant?

 RC> 14. School Teachers are expressly forbidden from issuing a
 RC> failing grade to any student, even if the student failed to
 RC> master or understand the course.

 Actually, that's not a bad idea. Just teach the child so he
 learns what he needs to know. That is what schools are for.

 RC> 15. School sports and junior sports leagues are forbidden
 RC> from keeping scores in any sport to prevent from hurting
 RC> the feelings of the youngsters, we cant have goals to
 RC> achieve for now can we?

 Since my younger daughters played for championship basketball
 teams, and my youngest was the local track star, screw your
 entire line of thought. That is for those of you who can't
 perform.

 RC> 16. White children cannot accompany black children on
 RC> public school sponsored and funded field trips to hear a
 RC> black rocket scientist speak.

 Uh... stupid. More likely required to. You really don't now what
 you are talking about, do you? It would probably be as important
 that white students hear a black scientist as for black kids to.

 RC> 17. Money is grown from trees and cotton, therefore the

 Well, yes... they are.

 RC> bureau of engraving and printing, shall print money 24
 RC> hours a day, 7 days a week, 365 days a year (366 if it is a
 RC> leap year).

 It won't be necessary to print that much, just enough to pay off
 the massive debt Bush I Bush II and Reagan saddled us with.

 I just realized, something like 80% of all the debt this country
 bears was built up under those three. Or perhaps more. I'll have
 to calculate it out.

 RC> 18. The 14th Amendment is amended to only apply to
 RC> minorities or confirmed Klahnunists.

 No... that's your position. Though I wonder why you even
 bothered to bring that up.

 RC> 19. Materials possession's can only be obtained via
 RC> government approval, exemption automatically granted for
 RC> minorities and klahnunists.

 Stupid. When everyone has a decent job with a good income your
 entire line of BS will become irrelevant.

 RC> 20. The displaying of the American Flag within the confines
 RC> of USA soil, shall be illegal.

 I wore the uniform. I served this country. I saluted the flag,
 truly saluted while in uniform. What is your excuse?

 RC> 21. Religion is outlawed, exemptions granted for
 RC> Klahnunists.

 Again, I am a practicing Catholic. Someday I may get good at it.

 As such it is my duty to try to presuade you to become Catholic.
 Since conversion must be voluntary, we have to tolerate the
 existance of other faiths until all of you become convinced to
 join the one true church.

 RC> 22. See Rules 1-21!

 RC> Party Officials:

 RC> Karl Klahn - Chairman

 RC> Josef J. Wilson - Vice Chairman

 Ross, that has to be one of the dumbest things you, or anyone
 else, has ever posted in Fidonet.

 Isn't it time you grew up, just a bit?
