In a recent positing that I hope was just a joke, someone asked for hackers to
volunteer for service to Nicaragua.  Now we all know that real service to Nicaragua
would be on the Contra side, but my suspicion is that they were asking for help
in consolidating the Marxist/communist
thugs in their genocidal moves in Central America.

Just be reminded, those ingenues out there who think it's some kind of game:
people are actually dying down there--the Soviet helicopter gunships are not just for show; thery are being used as in
the other Soviet client state of Agfghanistant--for the suppression of liberty and
elimination of opposition.  Today's paper tells of the Sandinistas clsing the
one remaining opposition newspaper. do you think they would hesitate to use your
misguided help and then discard you, as they did so many American who helped in
Cuba, years ago.  (And I was one of those who wanted to go help Castro then!)

don't be misled by the oh-so-effete intellectuals in this country who want to 
see a new Abraham Lincoln brigade for Nicaragua.  They will sip wine in New Yorkand boston while you die in Nicaraguea.

There is a war on, and the communists will lose this one as they are now losing
in Africa and Asia in at least eight conflicts.  They have overextended and the people ar e rising up against a dying and
sterile so-clled philosophy.  Don't think you will be doing a service by trying
to help the red thugs set up communications and computational facilities in
Nicaragua.

[Can anyone tell me who paid the net-bill for that blatant recruitment of comjmunists
over this network?  What a slimy bunch!;
