	Hey, look here, chump, this is ALT.FLAME !!  it's FOR FLAMING HOPELESS
TURKEYS like YOU and PETE-WHATS-HIS-NAME !!  And I only feel the urge to insult
and destroy uptight constipated right-wing jackasses, and people who feel 
sorry for them.  And if you think it's *easy* calling people names, why
don't you TRY it, instead of mincing around playing pattycake with the rest
of the net.mealy-mouths ??

>  And your reasoning is even more naive than Pete's:

	Yeah ??  How's this: If you tell kids that marijuana will destroy
them, then tell them that PCP will destroy them, and they've seen their
older siblings smoke pot, and maybe even tried it themselves, when some
pusher comes up and says "Here, try this." what do *you* think is gonna 
happen ?  "Awww, gee, no thanks, Mr. Pusher, they told me that stuff's
bad for you ...".  Foooey.  A little truth goes a long way in this life.

> how many drug users actually work on an assembly line? 

	Reckon you'd be surprised.  Maybe if you had any idea of how the
world REALLY worked, you wouldn't be so complacent in your little white-bread 
fantasy.

	Oh, so now I'm a coward, huh ?  Tell ya what, mail me your phone
number and I'll call you up and tell you you're a schmuck.  Or is this
one of those Good Old Fashioned "Let's step outside, Mister, and settle this
like Men" numbers ?  Phooey.  Real John Wayne, ain't ya ?   And far as
not meeting anyone, I'll remember that the next time I go to a trade show,
or send out resumes (ps- anyone looking for an good software engineer ? :-).
Heck, if I had a gun for every time someone's walked up to me and said 
"Hey, so *you're* wharf rat", why, I could arm a town the size of Abilene.

						Don't ya let that deal go down !

	Sure I would.  How about we do lunch someday ?   And I've got news
for you.  "wharf rat" *is* my name.  See, everyone said I'd come to no good,
but I got up and flew away.  Understand ?  Nahh, I didn't think so...
