Message-ID: <8804231838.AA05191@Larry.McRCIM.McGill.EDU> Date: 23 Apr 88 18:38:25 GMT Sender: daemon@ucbvax.BERKELEY.EDU Organization: The Internet Lines: 24 The way I've heard it is: Vote Often, Vote Early, Vote for James Michael Curly! (Curly was a notorious ward-healer who became mayor of Boston in the 1930's I believe, they still talk about those "good ole days" when corruption went to the -right- people.) Well, at least it scans... Is Curly the one who was re-elected while doing time because of a federal conviction? Something to do with putting too many friends and relatives on the city payroll? (Maybe that was Hurley) Ah, Boston... I believe this upcoming election might make this an opportune time to start, a new administration might be more receptive to new-sounding programs such as computer networking. It would be hard to imagine any broad-based objection to it (other than those of a particularly privatizing bent, which should be addressed.) This is a good point. And from the sound of it, you might already have certain such groups in mind? -Philip
