11/30 http://www.gn.apc.org/pmhp/ehippies/action/index.htm \_ death to the protesters. We need martial law. Every single protester on TV ended up being an unemployed laborer who basically wants us to pay $75 for a made-in-America Tickle Me Elmo. DEATH TO THE MEATHEADS! USE MORE RUBBER BULLETS! \_ The TV coverage was biased beyond belief. You've been taken by the mass media. Use your mind, not your TV remote. The WTO is evil. One-World Government is evil. I don't hate you, but I do pity you. --eyes open, TV off \_ PAT! PAT! PAT! PAT FOR PRESIDENT!!!! HE'LL SAVE US FROM THOSE ONE-WORLD FOREIGN JOB-STEALING DEVILS!!!!!! \_ Pat is an idiot. I don't care about your job. I care about your air. \_ This is called a "Denial of service attack", not a "sit-in". Dont kid yourselves, this is bordering on illegal, if not actually illegal. The webpage owners are setting themselves up for "Incitement to commit a crime" or something. And personally, I hope they get arrested on those charges. \_ guess what, sit-ins are illegal too. And if you see how it is set up it won't do anything unless tons of people participate \_ It would be far better to just have a petition, with thousands of names. otherwise,it will beseen as a few hundred people trying to interfere with "progress". This is an artificial attempt to magnify the effect that a few hundred people can have. Because if it actually made thousands of people actually "sign" their names, clinton would actually listen. \_ Are you really this stupid? Do you know hte difference between a sit-in and a petition? Sheesh... kids. \_ They're making the dangerous assumption that the average Joe actually *cares* enough to turn on his WebTV and point it at a WTO Web site in the first place . . . \_ Who the hell do you think stopped the WTO today? The streets were packed with average Joes you cynical fuck nut. \_ now THAT (unfortunately) will have an effect. Killing the web site with a DOS attack, will not. \_ I chose not to participate in the DOS. It seemed pointless. I'm still opposed the WTO and in favor of almost any protest opposing the WTO. \_ For what its worth the WTO is a serious issue, deserving alot more attention than its given in the media. Whether the US should be in the WTO is questionable, and bringing China into the WTO would be a blunder. \_ WTO rules! Don't turn US into inward-looking Ming dynasty China! Unilateralism will make the US into a leader without followers! \_ shut up achoi \_ Who's that? \_ Don't turn the US into a lackey of the One World Government. By the people, for the people. Not whatever tiny scrap of empowerment the OWG _lets_ you have. The WTO is evil. \_ Fuck the WTO, the UN, and all One World Government stupidity. \_ of course, this idea does not exclude the similar idea that the WTO rioters all deserve a swift kick to the head while being dunked in toilet water diarrhea. Moron fuck-ups. \_ No. They deserve to be honored as the heros they are. The anti-WTO protesters have a very clear idea of what's going on. If you looked up from your Quake3 once in a while and looked around, you might also. Death to the WTO and all other One World Governemtn anti-people organisations. \_ PAT! PAT! PAT! PAT FOR PRESIDENT!!! HE'LL SAVE US FROM THOSE FOREIGN ONE-WORLDER JOB-STEALING DEVILS!!! \_ It's not about jobs. It's about clean air and water. |

11/30 O.k. without breaking out the knee-jerk, John Birch society
nonsense, can someone tell me what is wrong with the WTO?
N.B. I don't want to hear from any whiny "their stealing our
jobs" morons either. If you don't accept the basic tenent that
free/open trade is good, you are to far removed from my values
for any dialogue to be useful.
\_ What's up with the knee-jerk "free market" is good nonsense? We
do not live in a free market economy in the US. The rest of the
world is even less free. IMO, you're confused about the way it is.
\_ the United States was formed to get away from being controlled
by foreign governments, but the WTO is superceding US Laws
overwriting the will of the people of the US, there it is sort
of like destroying your freedom and giving it back to the New world
\_ The WTO has only one goal: to make money for it's members at any
cost. I'm all forcapitalism but not the free wheeling totally
open no laws market the WTO fosters. For those confused about
the US, we do *not* have a free market economy. Our economy is
very controlled and regulated. That's why you can still drink
the water and breath the air (mostly). The WTO version of the world
would sell you a gas mask, bottled water from their water
purification plant, and serve you tuna with a healthy amount of
dolphin mixed in (as long as we still have dolphins and they don't
harvest the tuna to extinction). Money at all costs. There are
no other considerations to the WTO. If you like being able to
breath the air, drink the water, and walk the earth, you'll be
against the WTO. It has nothing to do with the JBS. Free and open
trade is good, but not totally free everything at the expense of
the future.
order scum.
\_ Exactly.
\_ What specific US Law is the WTO going to supercede?
The US is not an isolated nation. It's going to
have to trade with other nations, or lose out. So,
the question is, given the above, is WTO beneficial
to the US as compared to no WTO, or a WTO without
\_ I just love how a group that is nothing more than a glorified
the US. I agree that environmental and labor
concerns should be looked into, but this irrational
total rejection of it is silly.
\_ I rationally reject an organisation that seeks to punish the
\_ urlP? (riotP?)
\_ Will that effect my stock option price ?
US and declare illegal our environmental laws because some
South Americans were upset that we wouldn't let their
polution creating products into our country. I rationally
reject an organisation that seeks to punish the US and
delcare illegal our denial of tuna from other nations that
was not harvested in a dolphin safe manner. I rationally
reject the WTO and all other multinational mega corps that
are responsible to no one. I rationally reject the One
World Government. I'm willing to trade quite happily with
other nations but not at the expense of the environment
because other nations find sloppy tuna fishing to be easier
and more profitable.
\_ 1. you are right, it's mostly a bunch of whiney
"they're stealing our jobs that we would never do for that
pay anyway" people
2. They ARE stealing our spelling, apparently.
\_ woops, speaking of morons, apparently, i can lump me
into that group. However, you are being too kind
referring to the their/they're error as a spelling
error. Umm, i mean I MEANT to do that. It's a quote! i
was making fun of those people, dummy.
\_ No, you just can't spell. You're an idiot.
\_ jus love how a group that is nothing more than a glorified
multinational multi-corporation lobbying group uses a .org
domain name. Phillip.
\_ The WTO overturns local & national laws in the name of fair trade,
even consumer protection and environmental protection laws.
\_ Wow. S.O. couldn't convince the consumers pollution is good.
It couldn't convince the government. It couldn't BRIBE the
government. So now it's trying to make the government
irrelevant.
\_ what's S.O.?

12/1 I'm trying to set up netscape to view postscript files automatically
using gs. Is this the right program to use? It seems to nearly
work using /usr/local/bin/gs %s, but it bombs out when gs returns the
interactive GS> prompt, and there doesn't seem to be any way to make
gs non-interactive.
\_ No it's not. gs is the raw interpreter - you want ghostview or gv
for user interface. |
