Conf: PE-Regionals Moderator: Gary Inman Host: 010
Desc: A "Required Private Forum" for all PEN Hubs for the processing of network
applications or other confidential transmissions. This forum is not to be

──────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────■
Conf: PE-ChitChat Moderator: Ken Halfon Host: 331
Desc: Sometimes we all need a place to go to chew the fat. Many folks will make
new friends in PEN so when a topic begins to drift "off-topic" then our
PE-ChitChat! forum is the place to take the thread.
──────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────■
Conf: PE-Ecological Moderator: <Needed> Host: 332
Desc: Is the world changing? Climates, floods, pollution, drought, do all these
occurances mean something? How are our rain forests doing? Is the ozone
hole a real threat? Is our industrial technology changing to clean up our
environment? These are all valid questions but we want more than talk, we
want action! What are the politicians doing? What can we do? Join in and
take the first steps!
──────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────■
Conf: PE-Extinction Moderator: <Needed> Host: 333
Desc: What life is in danger of extinction, what species has been lost and what
are we doing to prevent other species from dying off? Is mankind destined
to go the way of the dinosaurs?
──────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────■
Conf: PE-AidsAware Moderator: <Needed> Host: 334
Desc: AIDS is the most feared killer of men, women and children to date. What

──────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────■
Conf: PE-HealthCare Moderator: Mary Mauro Host: 335
Desc: Health care reform, health insurance, HMO's, unnecessary surgery, and any
other topic pertaining to health care around the world. In what countries
is it working and where is it not?
──────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────■
Conf: PE-HealthFood Moderator: <Needed> Host: 336
Desc: How to eat better and live longer! Are there really foods that heal? What
caloric intake is best for you? What are the problem foods? Is red meat a

maintain or instill good moral values? Is the lack of family values the
main cause of crime?
──────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────■
Conf: PE-Religions Moderator: Paul Busby Host: 339
Desc: This is not a debate forum for comparing one religion to another. This is
also not a place for recruiting or preaching! What this forum IS for is
to discuss how to get the "family" back to church, and what role does the
church, temple, mosque or synagogue play in the community? Is the church
doing all that it can to bring family back to it's fold, and if not, what
more can or should it be doing?
──────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────■
Conf: PE-InnerCity Moderator: <Needed> Host: 340
Desc: All topics from drugs and reform, to poverty, to race relations, programs
the government or communities run, to inner-city-economics. What is, can
or should be done? What are some of the success stories and how did they
achieve it? How's the fast-growing problem of youth gangs being addressed
and why is it no longer limited to the inner cities?
──────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────■
Conf: PE-WldAtWar Moderator: <Needed> Host: 341
Desc: Who's at war with who and why? What's going on in Somalia, Bosnia, Israel
or any other area that is not at peace? Who is helping, why are they and
should they be helping? Also, discussions of past wars and what has been
learned from them.
──────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────■
Conf: PE-Political Moderator: <Needed> Host: 342
Desc: All topics from government waste, red tape and gridlock. In the US alone,
billions of dollars a year are being wasted on unnecessary "pet projects"
that your senators and congressmen WANT to keep going! Government is big-
ger than ever and wasting more money than ever! These are all facts, this
forum is devoted to the "What can we do about it?" mentality. This forum
is NOT for debates (see PE_All_Debate). In what countries is government a
less wasteful operation? How is and how "should" government be run?
──────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────■
Conf: PE-AllDebate Moderator: <Needed> Host: 343
Desc: This is the conference that is dedicted solely to "intellectual debates".
We expect respect from and to all participants. Those who can't or strive
to "bait" others, will not be tolerated and will be removed from PEN. We
KNOW there are going to be differing viewpoints, we expect it. But we can
only cater to those who can debate in an intellectual and mature manner.
──────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────■
Conf: PE-TV_Impact Moderator: Garry Baker Host: 344
Desc: What is the impact of television and the movies having on our society? Do
MTV, Beavis and Butthead, Madonna, or violence in TV and movies present a
danger to the youth of the world? What are the network exec's and movie
moguls doing to change their image, or should they?
──────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────■
Conf: PE-NatlNews Moderator: <Needed> Host: 345

Conf: PE_Relationsh Moderator: ILori Henderson Host: 348
Desc: Forum is dedicated to helping improve the way men and women communicate
with each other. Why's being "available" such a struggle when re-entering
