What kind of a one dimensional world do net people live in?  Being a draft
registrant, our recent marine deaths not only affect me emotionally, but I'm
worried about a full scale war (conventional OR nuclear).  Doesn't anyone
have any thoughts about our presence in Lebanon and Grenada?  Should we be
there?  What are our vital interests of which Reagen speaks.  Should we send
more troops?  Withdraw?  What?
	I cannot believe that there has not been a single article posted
about these.  People have been touting the net as a powerful communication
medium.  It is.  Sure it can be fun, but it should also be used for things
that actually affect our lives.  I think Frank Zappa summed it up pretty well.
