The great thing about the Constitution is that the Founders made
certain
it could be changed to reflect the needs of future generations and
changes
in the culture, through the process of Amendment. If you have
some
new rules for the USA, such as making a different Bill Of Rights for
people
who have taken self defense lessons, then you have the ability to do so
through
the legislative process. Until then, the U.S. Bill Of Rights
applies
to EVERYBODY.
No
courts, no
judge, no
jury? No thanks...

of power, which cannot be guided by fixed rules,

~ There are 5,000 types of snakes and 4,998 of them live in Texas
~ There are 10,000 types of spiders. All 10,000 of them live in

~ If it grows, it'll stick ya. If it crawls, it'll bite cha.
~ 'Jaw-P?' means, 'Did y'all go to the bathroom?
~ There is no such thing as 'lunch.' There is only dinner and then
there is supper.
~ Iced tea is appropriate for all meals, and you start drinking it when
you're two. We do like a little tea with our sugar.
~ "Backwards and forwards" means "I know everything about you."
~ The word 'jeet' is actually a phrase meaning, 'Did you eat?'
~ You don't have to wear a watch, because it doesn't matter what time
it
is. You work until you're done or it's too dark to see.
~ You measure distance in minutes.
~ You switch from heat to A/C in the same day.
~ You only own five spices: salt, pepper, Texas Pete, Tabasco and
Ketchup.
~ The local papers cover national and international news on one page,
but
require 6 pages for local gossip and high school football.
~ You know all four seasons: Almost summer, summer, still summer, and
Christmas.
~ Fried catfish is the other white meat.
-- “A slave is one who waits for someone to come and free him.”

Torturing the Rule
of Law - Ron Paul on America's use of torture
"They plainly did not know how to treat me, but behaved like persons
who are underbred. In every threat and in every compliment there was a
blunder; for they thought that my chief desire was to stand the other
side of that stone wall. I could not but smile to see how industriously
they locked the door on my meditations, which followed them out again
without let or hindrance, and they were really all that was dangerous.
As they could not reach me, they had resolved
to punish my body; just as boys, if they cannot come at some person
against whom they have a spite, will abuse his dog. I saw that the
State was half-witted, that it was timid as a lone woman with her
silver spoons, and that it did not know its friends from its foes, and
I lost all remaining respect for it, and pitied it. ~ Henry David

Current Synthesizers
Alesis
Quadrasynth Plus Piano
- a 64-voice synth that does it all. Excellent piano sounds, in
addition
to drums (from their D4 drum module), orchestral sounds and even a
synth
patch
that mimics Keith Emerson's Moog on the song "Lucky Man". The
built-in
effects (from their Quadraverb 2) has a very realistic sounding
'leslie'
effect for great Hammond organ sounds. Very fat sounding for a
sample-playback based synth.
Alesis Quadrasynth
S4 Plus - basically the same guts as the QS Plus Piano, but in a
rack module and without the 8Mb of piano samples.
E-Mu
Proteus MPS +Orchestral
- E-Mu's first synth. Nice rock & orchestral sounds.
One
feature I really like is the row of buttons across the bottom called
QuicKeys,
which allow you to make your own 'preset buttons', so to speak.
It
can throw patch changes at other synths, so in addition to changing the
patch
on the MPS, you can change the patches on three other synths as well
with
the push of one button.
Yamaha DX-7 IID
- The second iteration of their classic FM Synthesis machine..
Not easy to program, but it makes some really wild sounds.

Systems Theory - My Father's (Richard Ferdinand Ericson) passion

political, religious, physics or whatever. A fascinating study

Since 1956, the Society for General Systems Research has produced a
yearbook,
General Systems, which collects together significant
papers, often originally published in journals of a wide variety of
disciplines. This is a very valuable source for the location of
concepts and their definitions. (A former director of the Society,
Richard Ericson, has himself prepared two tentative versions of a
"Selected
glossary of terms with particular reference to concepts associated with
cybernetic management and information technology"). Oran Young has
carried out a survey of the use of general systems concepts (
General
Systems, 1964, p.61-80, 239-253). In 1979 a further survey of the
movement was carried out for the Society (Cavallo, 1979). The many
books on general systems naturally also offer definitions of concepts.
It is appropriate to ask why general systems has not been able to
respond as effectively as might have been hoped to the challenges of
the times. Attempts have been made to render general systems relevant
to the issues raised by the global problematique (Ervin Laszlo, 1974
and R F Ericson 1979), but there has been little follow-up.

Go placidly amid the noise and waste,
and remember what comfort there may be in owning a piece thereof.
Avoid quiet and passive persons, unless you are in need of sleep.
Rotate your tires.
Speak glowingly of those greater than yourself
and heed well their advice, even though they be turkeys.
Know what to kiss... and when.
Consider that two wrongs never make a right... but that three do.
Wherever possible, put people on hold.
Be comforted that in the face of all erridity and disallusionment,
and despite the changing fortunes of time,
there is always a big future in computer maintainance.
Remember the Pueblo.
Strive at all times to bend, fold, spindle, and mutilate.
Know yourself. If you need help, call the FBI.
Exercise caution in your daily affairs,
especially with those persons closest to you...
that lemon on your left, for instance.
Be assured that a walk through the ocean of most souls
would scarcely get your feet wet.
Fall not in love, therefore; it will stick to your face.
Gracefully surrender the things of youth,
birds, clean air, tuna, Taiwan,
and let not the sands of time get in your lunch.
Hire people with hooks.
For a good time call 606-4311. Ask for Ken.
Take heart amid the deepening gloom
that your dog is finally getting enough cheese,
and reflect that whatever misfortune may be your lot,
it could only be worse in Milwaukee.
You are a fluke of the Universe.
You have no right to be here,
and weather you can hear it or not,
the Universe is laughing behind your back.
Therefore, make peace with your god,
whatever you conceive him to be:
hairy thunderer or cosmic muffin.
With all its hopes, dreams, promises, and urban renewal,
the world continues to deteriorate.

Out of the night that covers me,
Black as the Pit from pole to pole,
I thank whatever gods may be
For my unconquerable soul.
In the fell clutch of circumstance
I have not winced nor cried aloud.
Under the bludgeonings of chance
My head is bloody, but unbowed.
Beyond this place of wrath and tears
Looms but the Horror of the shade,
And yet the menace of the years
Finds and shall find me unafraid.
It matters not how strait the gate,
How charged with punishments the scroll
I am the master of my fate:
I am the captain of my soul.
