Thanks for all those cards and letters, pro and con, about my birthday wish
for the bomb.  I even liked Mike Huybensz's cute little bounce back about the
British Navy.

By the way, 40 years is 40 years, ain't it?  So if you don't like the bomb
(those that don't) what ya got to replace it to give us ANOTHER 40???  I've 
got 'Star Wars' in mind.  

There arndt many liberals left, most having been mugged by now and become
conservative, so the geeks on the net must be little kids still in school who
hang out all hours at the computer center or teckie nerds who put in the odd
hours at the 'pinball game' and keep themselves off the street.

The only thing they can think of as an alternative to the BOMB or Space 
Defense (it'll never fly Orville) is another Children's Crusade.  Of course,
as I say, never having had to face the 'mean streets' or people who actually
hate them and want to kill them (so there must not BE such people dear, only
people who might THINK they want to kill us - and all we really need is to
talk to them you see, cause after all they're just like us) can't believe
the atomic (and more) genie is out of the bottle and ain't goin' to go away
by askin' 'pretty please' or throwin' our own away and sayin' 'see we don't
mean no harm, please don't hurt us' but by building a way around them the way
weapons have always be got around from the spear to the longbow to the gun.

Oh dear, is he actually sayin' 'mean streets' is here to stay?

Hey, if we could only all learn to play checkers together, what a wonderful
world it would be!  Let's send more dancers over there to meet the people,
I'm sure the average New Soviet Man would just love us (rape is more like it)
if only he could meet us.  After all, ain't we wonderful and full of good
feelings.  Sigh.

Puke.

Keep chargin'

Ken Arndt
