"Men occasionally stumble over the truth, but most of them pick themselves up and hurry off

me time passes, and then the
7/7 occurs. Something must be changing between start up and the error. Either
heat is making a connection go bad, or heat is making a connection's resistance
go up just enough so an older power supply is unable to crank out the juice
needed to get through.

Or sumpthin like that. But cleaning the contacts could fix this sort of thing,
too... certainly wouldn't hurt for him to try your suggestions...

Believing that the world is *growing up* would imply that lessons were
learned from past mistakes. This recurring tendency of appeasement toward
totalitarian aggression would seem to indicate otherwise.

As for comedy, I love it. the first CD I ever engineered and co-produced was
for a Brit, Owen Edgerton.

http://www.mrsinus.com/bios.html

The CD is titled Big,thick wooden Board. We started with a mono feed out of
a casio keyboard and produced around it until it became a fairly respectable
CD (at least for a wannabee engineer).

I love comedy.

OK, I'm playing around with a mono rythmn track and I decide to copy it to
another track....

So now I have 2 copies of the SAME track, right? Both panned to center.

I flip phase on one. EQ changes (comb filtering?) it sounds like the tracks
pull more to the center of the image (which they should be anyway)but I would
think the two would cancel each other out if I flip phase on one.

What's up here? Possibly both tracks aren't starting exactly on zero of the
timeline and are offset by a hair? Channels not quite the same exact level?

Am I just being a phase ingnoramous? ;0)

Anyway, gotta get back to my magazine!!!!!!!

Mike, The UnPhaseable

I didn't like any of their stock stuff.

Just out of the blue I asked them to do a custom for me and they
said sure!

no skulls, boobies, knives, guns, crosses, pentagrams, or corporate

Absolutely. The british and french went way overboard with
reparations in the Treaty of Versailles. I am not sure what the
US could have done about that.

Assuming that past situations never required violence to solve...
You assume they must not, because all violence is failure.

This, of course, is ideology, not necessarily fact.


It's like my friend the Aikido teacher.

Aikido is based on the belief of loving
protection for all people, even your attacker. It is not designed to
injure the attacker, just convince him that attacking you isn't going to
work.

Now, I ask this guy, what do you do when you simply must injure
the guy to stop the fight? Well, you do not need to do that often,
but if you do, then you injure them as little as possible. Do you kill
them if you must, I asked? Only to save an innocent life, and
only if all else has failed.

Now, Aikido is the most powerful defense system I know of, so these
situations will be rare, but it was refreshing to see that they operate
in the real world, not the ideological one.

So, that is my solution to international relations:

Aikido first resort, karate second, and gun-fu if you must...

It's only de facto if the world has, in fact, grown up. I can tell you
that the islamic middle east is 1000 years behind Ghandi on this
subject.

take care

DCI did a search but couldn't find a topic on this.

I was wondering if anyone is using Paris with any other AD converters such
as Apogee or Brand X?
Is it possible and if so could someone be so kind as to share their
experiences and setups.

Thank You!

Yeah, this is something I've never tried. The .wav file wasn't created in
Paris. Wasn't a segment. I just dragged it to the empty track and started
playing with it.

Just for my own edification, what's the dif between a locked file and unlocked
file? I would intuitively think that you can make changes to the unlocked
but not the locked, but that doesn't seem to be the case here.

Sorry, bad sinus day, I'm a little thick between the ears!

This forum is one example of one process of maturing in world relations.
We've heard from folks in Australia, Norway, Canada and the USA at
least, and a variety of views from this group have been expressed from
the comforts of our own locales, all within hours of the bombing in
England. Such speedy worldwide communication between individuals who
share things in common other than nationality is an important step.

We have a long way to go to include everyone, and we have a long way to
go to remove the opportunities for abuse of power around the world. As
is often quoted the price of freedom is eternal vigilance, and that
includes being vigilant about our own governments.

Recasting Saddam as Hitler and Blair or Bush as Churchill doesn't
accurately depict the recent events in Iraq. Whether such events have
been close enough to make broad pronouncements about appeasement is
debatable. Saddam had already been driven out of Kuwait and was pinned
down with air patrols and weapons inspections that apparently worked.
Even though there were significant problems, that's not exactly
"appeasement" in the Hitlerian sense.

I think you'd really dig A.C.E. I have a blast doing music for them. If
you're into long form improv you might enjoy our improv troupe "N2O."

Actually, I don't think we're all that far apart on a lot of issues.
There's just a couple of perspective things where you're looking at a
different end of the elephant.

I just don't understand what is important about who was in that war
first. After all, it was a european war at first wasn't it?

It seems as if we are either criticized for selling the arms to defend
europe (greed) or criticized for not joining in early enough (moral
cowardice)

Now invert things, and ask yourself, if america did not sell the arms
to free europe and russia could we not be criticized for moral
cowardice as well? If we jumped right in as soon as Hitler
commited his first act of war, couldn't we then be accused of being
bloodthirsty imperialists looking to rule europe?

In reality, this is all about socialists trying to bury america, and you

are using these terrorists to do it.

I hate to say it, but it is true. EVERY single time some horrible
act is committed against the west, off we go again with the litany
of america's so-called sins. Not just on this list, but in so many others
and in the media.

Erling. It's bull. All of it. Bull.

If you want to discuss our many mistakes, you may do so, but not in
the context of the dead bodies still being pulled out of the
stench of the tube tunnels. Have some decency and wait a bit
would you?

Unless of course, you believe that we are to blame for every act
of every crazy evil bastard with a bomb. Unless of course, you
believe that all these things are simple revenge for the Dulles
brothers and the Bay of Pigs.

And if you believe those things, you are wrong, and if you do not
reconsider them, you will become part of the evil in the world.

Have you no heart for those innocent people? We STILL have
to discuss WWI, WWII, and some loudmouth fish-head tourist you
met, and God knows what else??

Let's see, next time some innicent people are killed by an
islamofascist bomber, what can we bring up??

You think THAT was the motivation?

We kill each other in the Civil War. Family against family, to
maintain the Union, yet we only really entered WWII to save some
distant cousins we don't even know?

You must be feeling terribly guilty for being so unfair to us to
dream up such nonsense.

You're wrong. He is far from perfect, but this charge will not stand
the slightest scrutiny.

Again, we have to defend *Bush* in the context of this attack in
London? The most charitable in the history of the world, the
one that liberated the most people, still we must defend ourselves
to YOU when the ghouls attack?

I am not going to trot out the history of Norway's shortcomings, in
repsonse.

Actually, sometimes you give massive blood, kindness and treasure
and get highly educated, spiritually bankrupt ingratitude in return.

Consider this: What if the Israelis and the Palestinians really WERE
morally equivilent? Given Israel's military might, what would they
have done to the Palestinians by now? What would the Palestinians
do if they had Israel's military might? What would the
islamofascists do to Norway if it refused to insitute sharia law, and
the islamofascists held nuclear weapons?

If the United States was really about Oil and Greed and Imperialism
how would we really act, given what we could do?

If we dropped a nuke on Mecca in response to the next bombing,
and another one on Syria if there was another one, would they
stop?

But of course, we won't do that. We're much too decent for it.

So we sacrifice innocent lives, and actually waste our time and
concern trying to dialog with those who hate us, and we still
respond to people like you (who raise WWII of all things) when some
secretaries and musicans get blown to purple mush by some islamofascist asshole
on their way to work.

You amaze me in how little of yourself you can apparently see.

Come to America and learn the truth.

Very cool. Also has a very Frank Lloyd Wright flavor to it, a' la the

I love Wright. We went to Fallingwater a few years back.

Stood in the living room. I kind of walked around while the guide
was giving her speech. Then she said: "ok, any questions?"

I popped up with:

WE'LL TAKE IT. ARE THE LOAN PAPERS READY? WHAT'S THE
RATE??

She wouldn't even listen to my offer!!

Holy cow, what a gorgeous house.I use a Mytek AD 24/96 with Paris. It has a bit more top end air, but when
the Paris converters are slaved to the Mytek clock, I put the Paris
converters a bit ahead sonically. I think that given the choice of an 8
channel tracking scenario using Mytek vs Paris, I'd probably pick the Paris
converters for most things. I pretty much just use the Mytek for Vox tracks
andacoustic guitar with SDC's if I'm going with a tube preamp or tube mic as
the characteristics of the Mytek complement the sound of tube pre's/mics
pretty well. The Paris converters, when slaved to the 9ps Mytec clock sound
just awesome......very sonically balanced and phat.

That's what happens when you drug .wav files. They line up about like 0.20
candidate at a sobriety checkpoint.

>Hello again Don,
I can see and understand that you don't have understand what I have written
at all. You have just seen words that you don't like at all, as an patriotic
American and have gone directly and deeply into your shooting grave, firing
up at once at all those bastards that's saying "ugly" things about
America;-)
I know your American feelings really well here and I too are proud of all
the good things America have done up against the years. But what about the
ugly international things that there have been more and more of since the
second worldwar ended, things that different American presidents allways
tried to hold top secret and let organizations like CIA do the ugly jobs?
Countries like Chile as a little excample. Can't most of American like you
see it at all, that the sum of things like these up against the years now
are popping up and are the first things to blame when terrorists now are
attacking civilians in different places around the western world?

So, summa sumarum, and with fewer words: With good and ugly things done up
against the years, Americans are for me just showing up as a real "normal"
human race as all others in the world. But as an American like you, it seems
to be really difficult to understand when you just want to be remembered as
the good guys that allways have done just the god things, with or without a
gun in the hands.

By the way, it seems that you have problems with your American story or is
it just that you have allways thinked of Hawaii as American? Hawaii wasn't
American at all in the fourties, as far as I can remember. Wasn't it first
in '59 it became American?

So, let me again say it in much fewer words, so I hope it can be more
understandable what I have tried to say all the way: We're all sitting in
the same boat in the world and that boat isn't an American boat at all. It's
a boat with all kind of different people from the whole world, trying to
survive in different ways, not only the American way.


I would really see it as an honor to come to America, if it wasn't for my
echonomical situation(but I don't need any form for Marshall help in my well
living here;-)), but learning the truth, I don't really think I could the
American way:-) But I have been plenty of times in different American towns
in the early sixties and loved it. By the way, I was travelling much around
the whole world in those days, seeing much and thinking a lot over things,
like sitting in a bar in Corpus Christi, Texas in early sixtyone and
drinking American Cola in my poor youth(I drink it today too, but not as
much, too much sugar that's not healthy for anyone.:-)). I couldn't see any
negro at all in the bar and found out that my 5 years older brothers words
where true. My clean white brother have been plenty of times in America and
was being so brown under the sun that he allways was stopped when trying to
visiting bars in the south states. There he was just a negro.

So, I'm not ashamed at all over saying things like what I'm saying here.
Maybe I'm too old to be ashamed or isn't been brainwashed enough for any
other living system than the Scaninavian.

By the way, I saw a world statistic some months ago about the best countries
to live in in the world. As far as I remember I couldn't see USA on that
list all. Or maybe I was just blinded when I saw three Scandinavian
countries as heroes on top of that list? Yes, it was really good to be
Norwegian after looking on that list too:-)

Take care

With the lock tool on you know they are lined up.

How would I know which cable is which, is UTP = TwistedPair? How do I

http://www.mytekdigital.com/stereo96.htm
I'm taking theWC output from the unit and feeding
it into a Lucid GenX6 which is set to distribute an external clock signal
rather than generate it's own signal and I'm distributing the Mytec clock
to x MECs, 2 x RME HDSP 9652's and a Lexicon reverb unit.

I was using the Lucid clock before I got the Mytek. The Mytek Stereo 96 and
a Lucid CKL6 distro module would cost less than an Apogee big Ben. The Mytek
clock is rated at 9 picoseconds which is about the best I've run across,
plus you get a couple of excellent A/D converters to boot.

Im thinking "Partridge Family"

dbI've been having problems clocking a few digital devices together via a Big
Ben. I was still having an occasional pop when transfering over ADAT. I've
been living with it for a few months. Well I finlay cracked the manual on
the Big Ben. I then noticed that the front panel was showing under
termination on everything I had connected (2 MEC, an RME digiface, an
Eclipse, a TC m2000). So I spent 30 bucks on some t-splitters and 75ohm 1%
terminators. The big ben is now reporting correct termination, and I have
no problems.

I had assumed that the devices themselves could terminate, but it's
definitely not the case.I am terminating my RME cards with BNC terminator caps on the outputs
because I am feeding the common clock source to each one individually rather
than daisy-chaining them with a terminator on

israel has been trying this method for quite a while,
just on a smaller scale. did it reduce terror over there? you tell me.

OTOH, there was this *one* time when they tried the deescalation
method for a change. did it reduce terror? you bet it did.

>Please, please Don, I am not doing any defence of any terrorism or
terrorists at all, can't you really understand these facts? And I'm not
trying to score any cheap points at all on the London bombing or all the
sivilians that have lost their lifes because of stupid statemen affairs up
against the years. I have just tried to show you an opinion, from outside
America, how the roots to people like these can grow up and hate so much
that they are doing these kind of things.
By the way, saw they have arrested someone up in NorthEngland after the
bombs in London earlier today. Hope it's some of the right persons they have
arrested and will find them all.
Michael Moore? you mean that famous American filmmaker that don't like the
American President's behavings and is saying it high and clearly? Sorry to
say, I havn't heard him speaking or seeing any of his films. Have just read
about him, that he have won big American and international prizes for works
like "Fahrenheit 9/11". It must have reasons that he have won these high
prizes and I think it can't be for any lies he have told in these films.

So, yes I did it again Don, but not for the reasons you are throwing at me
here. You see, I don't need any Michael Moore or any President or American
lifestylist to think for me at all.

Nonsense, accusations, and lies? Have you documentations to stand besides
your speaking here or is it just believings? Sitting nearly three years in
different Scandinavian libraries, doing research for a book about second
worldwar and my father, gave me plenty of documentations about the last
couple of hundred years of wars to stand behind what I'm trying to say here
about war and terror.

Sorry to hear that you don't know at all what Norway stands for in humanity
and political thinking. If it wasn't for me, maybe you didn't had any
knowings about Norway at all? So, I think it's time for you to find out real
documentations and facts about that nation too before throwing out talk
about racism and intolerance that really can be used as a mirror to why the
world have all these kind of problems.

Take care

>Erling,

I appreciate you struggling with english to communicate with me,
and I am not mad at you, nor was I accusing Norway of
anything.

This is simple. I consider it unethical to use the death of innocent
people as an opportunity to trash my country. You come visit,
I will solidly refute every euro-socialist cliched view you hold of this
country, and send you home a better man. You need to stop
getting all your info from euro sources...

And that is as far as I am going to participate in the act of attacking
and defending anyone's country. yours or mine.

Be well

es it's clock signal from a Paris AES module prototype that
I have here. I have also used it with the Paris S/PDIF output. When Paris is
clocked to the Mytek, the clock signal that is imbedded in the digital
output is the same as the Mytek clock. The DAC-1 takes this signal and
upsamples it to 96kHZ and then converts it to an analog signal.

company, right? A corporation
is a non-living entity, a group of people endeavoring to make money in a
business enterprise or non-profit organization, right? Wrong. A corporation
is indeed a non-living entity, a group of people looking to make money. But
thanks to a Supreme Court decision, corporations are also actual living entities
in every legal sense of the word, with all rights and privileges of citizenship
- and several more besides - intact.

A Short History of Corporations

The word "corporation" comes from the Latin "corpus," or "body." The
Oxford English Dictionary defines "corporation" as "a group of people authorized
to act as an individual." The history of corporations in America is intertwined
with the story of the revolution that birthed this nation. British corporations
in colonial America were rebelled against vigorously as representatives of
the Crown, which they were.

Many of the principal actors in the American revolution, among them George
Washington, wanted to throw off British rule because they felt their ability
to conduct commerce freely was being disrupted. When 60 Boston residents
hurled the tea into Boston Harbor in 1773, it was an attack specifically
upon the economic power and supremacy of a corporation called the British
East India Tea Company, which had been undercutting the profits of colonial
merchants thanks to the passage of the Tea Acts.

After the revolution, and for a hundred years, the American people bore
a deep distrust of the corporation, and corporations were regulated severely.
Corporate charters were created by individual states, and those states had
the power to revoke that charter if the corporation was deemed to be acting
against the public good or had deviated from its charter. Corporations were
not allowed to own other corporations, nor were they allowed to participate
in the political process.

Very slowly over that 100 years, however, the power of the corporation
began to grow. In the 1818 Supreme Court case "Dartmouth College v. Woodward,"
Daniel Webster, advocating for Dartmouth, argued passionately for the power
of corporations in regards to property rights. The Court sided with Webster
and corporate rights, stating: "The opinion of the Court, after mature deliberation,
is that this corporate charter is a contract, the obligation of which cannot
be impaired without violating the Constitution of the United States. This
opinion appears to us to be equally supported by reason, and by the former
decisions of this Court."

A good deal of hell was raised after this decision, with many citizens
and state legislatures standing upon the right of a state to repeal or amend
a corporate charter. Seven years later, however, another Supreme Court case
buttressed the power of the corporation with their decision in "Society for
the Preservation of the Gospel in Foreign Parts v. Town of Pawlet." The Society
was seeking to protect its colonial-era property grants in Vermont, while
Vermont was seeking to revoke those grants. The Court decided in favor of
the Society, and explicitly extended the same protections to corporation-owned
property as are enjoyed by property-owning natural persons.

Corporations in America began to become truly powerful with the rise
of the railroads. Railroads were the lifeblood of the growing nation, carrying
both agriculture and industry from one side of the country to the other.
This was a highly profitable enterprise, and railroad corporations began
to exert heavy influence on both state and federal leaders. Corporate attorneys
boldly asserted the precedents set in the Dartmouth and Society Supreme Court
decisions, demanding that corporations deserved to have at least some of
the rights of natural persons. Meanwhile, attorneys loyal to the railroads
began to rise through the ranks of the Judiciary, finally finding seats on
the highest bench.

This process came to a final head in 1886, when the Supreme Court heard
the case "Santa Clara County v. Southern Pacific Railroad." Arguments over
the rights of corporations as persons had been raging for decades, and Chief
Justice Waite pounded home the nail: "The court does not wish to hear argument
on the question whether the provision in the Fourteenth Amendment to the
Constitution, which forbids a State to deny to any person within its jurisdiction
the equal protection of the laws, applies to these corporations. We are all
of the opinion that it does."

"We are all of the opinion that it does."

The pertinent section of the Fourteenth Amendment reads, "All persons
born or naturalized in the United States, and subject to the jurisdiction
thereof, are citizens of the United States and of the State wherein they
reside. No State shall make or enforce any law which shall abridge the privileges
or immunities of citizens of the United States; nor shall any State deprive
any person of life, liberty, or property, without due process of law; nor
deny to any person within its jurisdiction the equal protection of the laws."


Before the Santa Clara decision, this amendment applied only to living,
breathing people. After Santa Clara, it applied also to massively wealthy
corporations, groups of people authorized to act as individuals, but beyond
the kinds of legal liabilities natural persons are subject to. The Santa
Clara decision, and subsequent decisions affirming it, created the formidable
distinction between the citizen and the super-citizen.

Both have purchasing power, both can give money to whomever or whatever
they please, but the difference lies in the extent to which this can be done.
A natural person can buy a house and give money to a politician. A wealthy
corporation, on the other hand, can buy a thousand houses and give money
to a thousand politicians. In other words, a corporation which enjoys the
same rights as a natural person has a thousand times the power and influence
of a natural person over the economics and politics of the country. That
is a super-citizen.

Because these super-citizens can exert so much power, their rights have
been dramatically extended over the years. In the 1950s, for example, corporations
paid some 40% of the taxes in

's ugly to me
too. When I look at what is happening I see stereotypes, though they are not
racial, they are cultural, they are constantly evolving and they are very
real. From around 1965 through 1995 I spent a good part of my life as part
of one of these evolving stereotypes.

I am old compared to most of the folks here, I think. I was born in 1950.
The town where I was born was a small town in the southern US which was full
of hypocracy and racial predjudice. I remember some very ugly things very
vividly. Without going into a lot of detail about this, the effect of this
made me really angry and very willing to believe that there was something
wrong with what my parents generation was saying, but not doing. I also came
to distrust organized religion at a very early age because of these
experiences and the hypocracy I saw.

My grandmother had a big hammond organ in her parlor and also a baby grand
piano. From the time I was about 5 years old, I would climb up on the
benches and play the keys. I was told I had a *good ear* because I could
listen to the radio songs and figure out how to play them on the keys
(though I couldn't reach the pedals ;o). During the 50's, I lived in south
Texas (part of the time in Erling's favorite place, Corpus Christi, Texas)
and travelled across the border into Mexico often with my father. He was a
merchanical design engineer and a pilot and did a lot of work designing
large installations for the agricultural interests which were sponsored by
both rich Mexican landowners and the Mexican government (which was basically
rich Mexican and other international landowners) I saw lots more ugliness
there as far as exploitation of people by other people. It was so obviously
wrong and when I would ask my father about it, he would excuse it, but I
couldn't accept this. I became very rebellous and a what is called here, a
*problem child*

By 1965, this pissed off 15 year old kid was playing in a band that was
fortunate (or unfortunate) enough to be recognized in a fairly large
regional market. By the time I was 17 years old we were opening shows for
touring acts. Our roadies were a bunch of disillusioned ex VietNam Vets who
were majorly into drugs (especially asian varieies of pot and also opiates
and LSD/hallucenogens) and the emerging drug/anti war counterculture and
our management were a bunch of old school hollywood type entertainment
industry scumbags who would exploit their own mother if it would make them
$$$. They had no problem keeping a bunch of young kids tweaked on
amphetamines to make sure they were *up for the gig*.

By 1968, I had somehow managed to graduate from high school and had been
accepted to a number of universities. My folks were willing to do what they
could to help and I knew I couldn't sustain the music career (which was less
a career and more like a party) and continue my education, plus I was so
totally burned out from the *lifestyle* that whatever creative spark that I
had tried to cultivate during this time was in the crapper anyway. I didn't
want to be a musician any more. I was not, however, burned out on my
countercultural beliefs. I was *into it* before it was considered to be
*cool*, at least in Texas.

There was this war going on and lots of my friends were headed over there.
This country was being torn apart by dissention and I became more and more
involved in the anti-war movement and the increasingly emerging philosophy
of non-judgmentalism and defiance of the rule of law/politial anarchism.

While I was in school, I ran into a few old acquaintances. They were the
rich children of some of the people my dad had been doing business with in
Mexico. They were going to universtity in the states and were, like me,
angry, into the counterculture and we renewed our friendships. I started
going down to Mexico with them on school holidays and we would travel to
places which were pretty unbelievable. Like paradises which were mostly
untouched by human beings (except of course, the local Indians, who were not
really considered to be human by anyone, including these *enlightened* young
Mexican revolutionaries-the Indians weren't cool. They were traditionalists
and not into drugs, socialism and free love). A lot of the friends of my
Mexican friends were going to European universities and I met quite a few of
them and quite a few of their european friends who were my age and would
travel with them on holiday. We became well acquainted and we shared a lot
in common with our political philosophies which were becoming increasing
leftist-leaning. It is ironic that the children of priviledge were the ones
who most despised the systems that allowed them those priviledges.

In early 1970 I moved to Los Angeles because I wanted to get away from
Texas, go to school out there and be a part of the California scene. My
uncle was a business partner with a big television star from Texas, had a
big house and invited me to live with them while I established myself.
During the time I was there, I met quite a few of the folks in the film and
music industry and their kids.
Some of these kids are now known as part of the
*Hollywood elite* and are very active and outspoken
members of the leftist political scene in this country.
I also started getting a sense of discomfort with the drug culture that was
going on, but was still cool because it was so integrated with the rest of
the anarchistic counter culture. This is where my beliefs in
non-judgementalism were beginning to be severely challenged. The decadence
was so unbelievable that it was obviously hurting people, but it wasn't cool
to talk about it. A bunch of the kids I was hanging out with knew some
people that called themselves *The Family*. I even went out to the ranch
where some of were still living while Charles Manson, their leader, was in
jail on a multiple murder charges and I partied with them. One of my cousins
had dated one of them, a guy from McKinney Texas named Tex Watson who had
murdered people. There were some of the wierdest, scariest people you can
imagine but even despite stuff like this, no one in the Hollywood
*counterculture* was willing to believe that some aspects of their lifestyle
might not be so great. Non-judgmentalism was sooooooo *uncool*.

I continued to participate as as activist in all of the *causes du jour* I
supported gay rights and the *women's movement* (I loved the moving women)
and celebrated when birth control pills became available and abortions
became legal. I was active in the democratic party, watched as the various
power brokers emerged in that party to *take care of* the Afro American
citizens
and Mexican American farm workers. I had been gassed in anti-war protests
and had my feet firmly planted in the *hate America* movement.

Anyway, by 1973 I had graduated from my college studies with a major degree
in political science with minor studies in psychology and economics. This
liberal arts education didn't really qualify me for any kind of career path
but I was young, invincible, resourceful and I figured if I knew my way
around these things, I could pretty much make my way in the world.

The first thing I did was to take some time and go back down to Mexico. I
didn't want to be part of America anymore and I had seen a place during my
travels down there where I thought I might be happy. It was a deserted place
with a *feeling* about it. I can't describe it, but others who I have met
there who are more travelled than I am tell me they feel the same kind of
*energy* there that they have felt in places like Jerusalem, Katmandhu,
Mecca and other locations which are considered to be religious destinations.
In 1973, it was just a deserted beach with a little store owned by a Zapotec
Indian named Ramon Aguilar Villalobos and this exended family, two of which
were his in-laws, Manuel and Maria who basically founded this small village
back in the early 20th century and were very old. I spent a good part of my
life in this place and lived with this family during those times from 1973
until 1990. Unfortunately, this place is nothing like it used to be and now
even has websites dedicated to it, but I guess that's part of the story
about thie place.
I am going to post a link to this place so that you can see it. You may have
been there or know people who have. There is more to this story but I have
work to do today so I will stop now and continue later when I have the time.
This story actually does lead somewhere that is relevant to this
conversation. Sorry it has been so long but you have asked me a question
that is valid, but not easily answered, so I'll continue later if you are
interested. Though I haven't been there for a while, this was my home and is
still my second home-

I know a lot of the people in these pictures. I watched them grow up and
taught a few of them how to swim and catch fish. the beautiful young woman,
Claudia is the
niece of my friend Ramon. The two people, John and Maria were guests at my
home in Austin after one of my trips to Zipolite and we watched the events
unfold at Tienamen Square on television. They were having some bad drug
problems even then. They are both kind, intelligent victims of the social
experiment that is
happening there.

I always thought labor unions had their place... but like a small
government, prone to corruption of course.

I guess that one went over your head. I was kidding Erling about
his use of the archaic term "negro". I don't expect a Norweigan
to be up on the proper use of "African American" or
"Black American" but I can still tease him about it!

Imagine what he could do to me if I was trying to use his language!

We americans often take it for granted when people from other
countries speak or write english to communicate with us, since
so few of us speak another language. I appreciate their effort, and
make a point of teasing them about it when they stumble.

No racism. sorry to disappoint you.

But you're a believer in crypto-conspiracy land. What could I
possibly say to you that you would agree with if it didn't include
your conspiracies?

In many cases, our corporations have to be subsidized in order to remain
competitive with international corporations that are subsidized. Airbus vs
Boeing is a prime example.
