To make this Moby-related, I suppose that liberal activists
(environmentalists, vegans, anti-smokers, etc.) don't typically conduct
themselves in such self-righteous ways, right? Enforcing any kind of law is
forcing one set of morals on someone else.

**** Help for [e-mail]:


This help message is being sent to you from the Majordomo mailing list
management system at [e-mail].

This is version 1.94.4 of Majordomo.

If you're familiar with mail servers, an advanced user's summary of
Majordomo's commands appears at the end of this message.

Majordomo is an automated system which allows users to subscribe
and unsubscribe to mailing lists, and to retrieve files from list
archives.

You can interact with the Majordomo software by sending it commands
in the body of mail messages addressed to "[e-mail]".
Please do not put your commands on the subject line; Majordomo does
not process commands in the subject line.

You may put multiple Majordomo commands in the same mail message.
Put each command on a line by itself.

If you use a "signature block" at the end of your mail, Majordomo may
mistakenly believe each line of your message is a command; you will
then receive spurious error messages.  To keep this from happening,
either put a line starting with a hyphen ("-") before your signature,
or put a line with just the word

    end

on it in the same place.  This will stop the Majordomo software from
processing your signature as bad commands.

Here are some of the things you can do using Majordomo:

I.    FINDING OUT WHICH LISTS ARE ON THIS SYSTEM

To get a list of publicly-available mailing lists on this system, put the
following line in the body of your mail message to [e-mail]:

    lists

Each line will contain the name of a mailing list and a brief description
of the list.

To get more information about a particular list, use the "info" command,
supplying the name of the list.  For example, if the name of the list
about which you wish information is "demo-list", you would put the line

    info demo-list

in the body of the mail message.

II.    SUBSCRIBING TO A LIST

Once you've determined that you wish to subscribe to one or more lists on
this system, you can send commands to Majordomo to have it add you to the
list, so you can begin receiving mailings.

To receive list mail at the address from which you're sending your mail,
simply say "subscribe" followed by the list's name:

    subscribe demo-list

If for some reason you wish to have the mailings go to a different address
(a friend's address, a specific other system on which you have an account,
or an address which is more correct than the one that automatically appears
in the "From:" header on the mail you send), you would add that address to
the command.  For instance, if you're sending a request from your work
account, but wish to receive "demo-list" mail at your personal account
(for which we will use "[e-mail]" as an example), you'd put
the line

    subscribe demo-list [e-mail]

in the mail message body.

Based on configuration decisions made by the list owners, you may be added
to the mailing list automatically.  You may also receive notification
that an authorization key is required for subscription.  Another message
will be sent to the address to be subscribed (which may or may not be the
same as yours) containing the key, and directing the user to send a
command found in that message back to [e-mail].  (This can be
a bit of extra hassle, but it helps keep you from being swamped in extra
email by someone who forged requests from your address.)  You may also
get a message that your subscription is being forwarded to the list owner
for approval; some lists have waiting lists, or policies about who may
subscribe.  If your request is forwarded for approval, the list owner
should contact you soon after your request.

Upon subscribing, you should receive an introductory message, containing
list policies and features.  Save this message for future reference; it
will also contain exact directions for unsubscribing.  If you lose the
intro mail and would like another copy of the policies, send this message
to [e-mail]:

    intro demo-list

(substituting, of course, the real name of your list for "demo-list").

III.    UNSUBSCRIBING FROM MAILING LISTS

Your original intro message contains the exact command which should be
used to remove your address from the list.  However, in most cases, you
may simply send the command "unsubscribe" followed by the list name:

    unsubscribe demo-list

(This command may fail if your provider has changed the way your
address is shown in your mail.)

To remove an address other than the one from which you're sending
the request, give that address in the command:

    unsubscribe demo-list [e-mail]

In either of these cases, you can tell [e-mail] to remove
the address in question from all lists on this server by using "*"
in place of the list name:

    unsubscribe *
    unsubscribe * [e-mail]

IV.    FINDING THE LISTS TO WHICH AN ADDRESS IS SUBSCRIBED

To find the lists to which your address is subscribed, send this command
in the body of a mail message to [e-mail]:

    which

You can look for other addresses, or parts of an address, by specifying
the text for which Majordomo should search.  For instance, to find which
users at my-isp.com are subscribed to which lists, you might send the
command

    which my-isp.com

Note that many list owners completely or fully disable the "which"
command, considering it a privacy violation.

V.    FINDING OUT WHO'S SUBSCRIBED TO A LIST

To get a list of the addresses on a particular list, you may use the
"who" command, followed by the name of the list:

    who demo-list

Note that many list owners allow only a list's subscribers to use the
"who" command, or disable it completely, believing it to be a privacy
violation.

VI.    RETRIEVING FILES FROM A LIST'S ARCHIVES

Many list owners keep archives of files associated with a list.  These
may include:
- - back issues of the list
- - help files, user profiles, and other documents associated with the list
- - daily, monthly, or yearly archives for the list

To find out if a list has any files associated with it, use the "index"
command:

    index demo-list

If you see files in which you're interested, you may retrieve them by
using the "get" command and specifying the list name and archive filename.
For instance, to retrieve the files called "profile.form" (presumably a
form to fill out with your profile) and "demo-list.9611" (presumably the
messages posted to the list in November 1996), you would put the lines

    get demo-list profile.form
    get demo-list demo-list.9611

in your mail to [e-mail].

VII.    GETTING MORE HELP

To contact a human site manager, send mail to [e-mail].
To contact the owner of a specific list, send mail to that list's
approval address, which is formed by adding "-approval" to the user-name
portion of the list's address.  For instance, to contact the list owner
for [e-mail], you would send mail to [e-mail].

To get another copy of this help message, send mail to [e-mail]
with a line saying

    help

in the message body.

VIII.    COMMAND SUMMARY FOR ADVANCED USERS

In the description below items contained in []'s are optional. When
providing the item, do not include the []'s around it.  Items in angle
brackets, such as <address>, are meta-symbols that should be replaced
by appropriate text without the angle brackets.

It understands the following commands:

    subscribe [<list>] [<address>]
    Subscribe yourself (or <address> if specified) to the named <list>.

    unsubscribe [<list>] [<address>]
    Unsubscribe yourself (or <address> if specified) from the named <list>.
    "unsubscribe *" will remove you (or <address>) from all lists.  This
    _may not_ work if you have subscribed using multiple addresses.

    get [<list>] <filename>
        Get a file related to <list>.

    index [<list>]
        Return an index of files you can "get" for <list>.

    which [<address>]
    Find out which lists you (or <address> if specified) are on.

    who [<list>]
    Find out who is on the named <list>.

    info [<list>]
    Retrieve the general introductory information for the named <list>.

    intro [<list>]
    Retrieve the introductory message sent to new users.  Non-subscribers
    may not be able to retrieve this.

    lists
    Show the lists served by this Majordomo server.

    help
    Retrieve this message.

    end
    Stop processing commands (useful if your mailer adds a signature).

Commands should be sent in the body of an email message to
"[e-mail]" or to "<list>[e-mail]".

The <list> parameter is only optional if the message is sent to an address
of the form "<list>[e-mail]".
 Multiple commands can be processed provided
each occurs on a separate line.

Commands in the "Subject:" line are NOT processed.

If you have any questions or problems, please contact
"[e-mail]".

First, thanks.  Second, I have been meat free for about 1 year and 3 months.
However, I am not a total vegan.  Also, during the summer I went to New
Orleans and broke my vegetarianism in order to partake in the local cuisine.
I wonder how many other vegans/vegetarians break their tradition and under
what circumstances.  I also broke it and had some good prime rib with my
family this past christmas/newyears.

From: Christopher Michael Bourke <[e-mail]>
Subject: (mobility) @@@@here's some reality for Ed & Tim.

First, Ed, please, "I'm afraid I just don't agree with this"?  It's mainly
accepted historical interpretation and points of fact.  Rebuttle if you
wish, but please elaborate.

Secondly, on to Tim's letter:


>Oh come on both Chris', let's get some reality here.
>Britain was primarily interested in advancing it's own
>wealth at the expense of the people it conquered - thank
>God colonialism has virtually died amongst the European
>nations. It was pure exploitation, and competition for
>power that accelerated the ravaging of other cultures and

>The French and the British were constantly at it and look
>how the Spanish before them decimated the peoples of
>Central and South America. They had a very advanced
>civilisation compared to many money grabbing, war mongering
>Europeans.


Again, in historical context if you pick up any book on Britain's history,
instead of quoting the biased opinions of the "New Internationalist"  you
would see mounds of documentation.  While France, Portugal and Spain
attempted to drain colonies of natural resources and violently put down it's
local people, enslaving them Britain had a much more positive effect.  I'm
not saying that colonialism was ever justified, just that relatively, the
Brits never went to the extent of the rest of Europe.  The Good that they
did far outweighed the bad, and their motives were just as I said, attempts
to open new markets and tear down trade barriers controlled by local and
regional tyrants.

>I think it's pure arrogance to suggest that any nation
>should be encouraged to force others to accept its way of
>life, culture and religion. Some people in the West have a
>serious superiority complex!

Again, if you know anything of true history, the Brits allowed self
government, freedom of religion and even went to great extents to preserve
language and culture in their colonies(observe for instance India, in which
each local state was given local rule and encouraged to keep the mother
tounge).  Not so with the rest of Europe.  Historical observation is not a
justification for colonialism.  I never suggested that any nation should "be
encouraged to for others to accept its way".  However, I will state that
there are objective rules/guidelines for morality.  Would you take your
cultural relativism so far as to say WWII Germany was justified in their
autrocities in so far as their own borders were concerned?

>
>Tribal wars in Africa were far less damaging to the world

A result of Nationalism/Facism/and Socialistic trends, Capitalism did not
percipitate in any measurable degree the events leading up to the Great
world wars.

What the US Government did to the native americans was unforgivable.  But
one must understand the mentalities and situation involved.  The Native
Americans were largely Nomadic people who had no concept of "owning land."
Even if the "white man" were to pay the native Americans for their land,
they would see it as very odd and would probably not have anything to do
with such a transaction.  Europeans and Americans on the other hand had very
evolved and developed sence and legal definitions of ownership which
included land and natural resources.  This culture clash was sadly
inevitable, but I don't think that this country was build on the Manifest
destiny move westward.  The east already had highly developed and rich
economic bases.

Excuse me?  The Third world's economic capital comes from INVESTMENT from
the west, not extrodinarily high interest loans.  If anything The third
world nations would never (governmetns) would never get ANY loans because of
political turmoil making them extremely bad credit risks.  Instead these
countries tend to print more money which leads to hyper inflation, ruining
their OWN economies.  The have nots are have nots, not because of external
"multinational" corporations but because of thier own autocratic governments
controlling their economy and raping their resources in attempts to continue
their regimes.

Ha!  You have shown that you have no concept of what Laissez-faire
capitalism is!  No Government intervention in the economy is exactly what it
says!  NO INTERVENTION.  That means no FAVORS no SUBSIDIES no FAVORITISM,
period!  Capitalism extends from political and moral theories not a need for
economic development.  No controls doesn't mean no accountability!  Yet
another way government controls in the form of tort reform pervert the true
principles of Capitalism!  Public resources such as drinking water and the
air would be subject to public protection, ie through civil action against
those who would polute the environment.  Exploitation in a true
laissez-faire, free market economy is NOT possible.  Every man/woman is free
to decide who to work for and at mutually agreed upon wages.  Low wages are
NOT exploitation in and of themselves.  Please.

?!?!!?  Indonesia not a socialist country?  What praytell is it?  If not
socialist I would agree that it is ruled by a MILITARY REGIME, and not
governed by capitalistic principles(which include respect of personal
liberty against a tyrannical government)

There is not a single private, major industrial entity in all of China with
the exception of HK.  Communisms death has been staved off and they have
made capitalistic reforms in the last few decades, but they are FAR from
capitalism.  Everything is still state owned.

Just like Stalin's Russia huh?  The murder of millions of Kulaks in the name

Atlas Shrugged.  You identify the prime mistake in all statist/conrolled
economy advocates.  First, you resort to pathos-like rhetoric trying to
appeal to people with the pathetic starving masses.  You ignore the entire
basis of WEALTH.  Wealth is not static, it is not given, it is created!  The
Atlases of our world create weath through hard work and earned(ie deserved)
endeavors.  In a free society wealth cannot be used to exploit put down or
influence anyone to do anything!  The only problem with today's system is
that people with money(the rich) aren't true to the ideals of laissez-faire
capitalism and the governments instituted allow such bribery.  the wealth
would rather not have to work to maintain or create weath and instead buy
influence with governments and those in control.  This is the TRUE problem
and why many people still suffer poverty.


>True equality is liberty against economic and social
>oppression.

True equality is equality before the law.  The only entity that should
morally be allowed to have a monopoly on physical force is the Government.
And within that government, application of the law is equal accross all
social/political/racial/etc... differences.  Egalitarianism is a vile and
perverse form of equality that should never be allowed("Harrison Bergeron").
There is no such thing as a right to a house, a right to food, a right to
entertainment or anything else.  There is only a right to freely persue the
acquisition of these things through one's own work and talent.  No one is
entitled to another man's property.

Me too, but not the bursting part.
