EEEEVVVROPOL! Schengen Information System (SIS), * Supplementary Information Request at the National * Entry (Sirene). Purpose: ''...with the help of the * transferred information, maintain order and public * safety, including the security of the state...'' * * Just when I thought this century/millenium would end relatively * peacefully and quietly, from a political point of view that is, * a newsflash hits me right between the eyes. As I type this, a * european police state is being created. In spite of it's name, * Europol, they aren't as nice and cuddly as one first might think. * * Until now, you had to be convicted of a crime in court, in order for * the cops to keep a legal record on you. In this new database, Sirene, * to mention one, it is now legal for the cops to keep a detailed record * of you, no matter if you're innocent, a suspect or a convicted criminal. * * This database will if used to it's full extent, contain DNA, * appearance description, religious, sexual, philosophical and political * preferences, race, union membership, mental and physical health state * information. * * The worst part of this is, IT'S NOT A LATE APRIL FOOLS' DAY JOKE! * It's been said before, but it's worth repeating (travesty) : * * "1984: We're behind schedule / Europol" * * Now let's not get too depressed... * * HIP'97! *The* happening of 1997. About 1500 people came to attend * the latest in a sequel of summer-conventions in Holland. * We were there to present the then-latest uXu release (#28), and to * have an entertaining, enlightening and - not to mention - a good * time. During these three days in August, we gave away more than * a hundred diskettes containing all our released files! We didn't * notice any of the disks laying around later, so I guess they got well * taken care of... * * It's hard work being a missionary, but when we think about all the * good that will come out of this - it's worth a little agony and late * nights :) * * * *Sniff* Lucky you. At least _you_ got a brand new bunch of uXu files * to read... We haven't :( In this release, we have - beside from the * regular writers - four new contributors: Sophia, Jay Miller, * Moshe Benarroch and George Kozma. Each with their own speciality. * * Enjoy! * * Your faithful Editor, * Bravemoore * mailto:uxu-request@lysator.liu.se --------------------------------------------------------------------- Use our mailing lists, here's all you need to know! --------------------------------------------------------------------- You may subscribe to one or both of these lists: 1) THE UXU LIST (File Distribution List) Address: uxu-request@lysator.liu.se Description: Subscribers will receive the files in plain ASCII as the releases are made available.

Let us quote Gene Fowler: "Writing is easy; all you do is sit staring at a blank sheet until the drops of blood form on your forehead." True as it is, have you not spent several days, even MONTHS sometimes, waiting for the blood to form? And nothing happens? Diagnosis: you experience a writer's block. Remedy: none whatsoever, as argued in this text. 412: "Introspection" by Jay Miller. These are two short hard-core poems, raw as the mixture of diesel and razor blades. Yet without turning obscure. Highly recommended by John "Popie" Paul himself. 413: "Chest Shot" by The GNN. This is a tale about four people: A woman reading a book by a cafeteria, a man who desperately tries to get her attention, another man who observes them through a pair of binoculars, and a final man who views two of them through the sight of a gun. Interested? Read it. 414: "A Meager Attempt" by Sophia. As we get older, we change. Our interests and passions twist and turn on the track through life. But what if there are two passions around on the same track? Will they collide, crash, force the other one off the road - or decide to go in different directions? And if they do, where will they head? 415: "Chen" by The GNN. This particular story begins like this: "Charles Chen flipped through the television channels". And it ends like this: "But some people said he just chewed and ate the bullet, and never returned to his couch again." But as the experienced reader you are, you know that it is what happen in between that counts. 416: "The Paradox" by Joseph. Afraid to go out, afraid to stay indoors. Sick of living, unwilling to die. The constant fear of other people, the constant fear of oneself. The never-ending wheel of paradoxes, that for some constitute their paranoid lifestyle; for others, the insight that one is quite happy after all. 417: "On Friendship" by The GNN. Do you have any friends? Oh, no? Really not? What the hell do you mean by 'otherwise I would not waste my time reading uXu day in and day out'?! Anyway. Of course you have friends. But what is a 'friend', and what does the notion of 'friendship' really imply? If you think about it, these are not all that easy questions. But this file might help you out. 418: "Old Buk In The Holy City" by Moshe Benarroch. More poetry! But this time with a political and social angle. More ought not be said, read it yourself. Hey wait... isn't that... yes it is! 419: "How To Get More Sex" by The GNN. YES! This file ACTUALLY works! Everything in this file is TRUE! THIS FILE WILL MAKE YOU HAVE MORE SEX! This is not yet another of these crappy texts that claims 'be yourself'! THIS FILE *PROMISE* THAT YOU WILL GET MORE SEX! MORE SEX! MORE SEX! FOR FREE! DAILY! FOR FREE! *MORE SEX DAMNIT!* 420: "Life Is" by Bravemoore. Life can be many things, indeed. For one thing, it can be distinctly human. And how is it then? Heck, how should I know? Ask Aristotle. Or Bravemoore. 421: "How Do One Find New Friends?" by Knyttet. Keeping old friends is one thing, making new ones is a different story. Knyttet shares her thoughts on the subject, in her on special way of explaining things. 422: "Malfunction" by The GNN. Classic science-fiction is usually about one out of three things: time-travelling, space encounters or teleporters. This is not a classic piece of sci-fi (as it was written 1998), but it is about teleporters. From a new angle? Absolutely not! That would ruin the whole experience! With a different story? Of course. We never snatch other's ideas. 423: "Modus Operandi" by The GNN. Hey, you wanna be a terrorist? You wanna blow things up? You wanna kill, main and destroy, for the sake of the cause? If you answer 'yes' to all those questions, here is the file for you, here is your plan, here is your long-awaited modus operandi. 424: "Neighbor Trouble" by Bravemoore. Neighbors can be a pain in the ass. If they do not torture you with loud music, lousy cooking or never-ending drinking parties, they claim that YOU do so. Outrageous! Why cannot people just accept that other's might subscribe to a different lifestyle? They cannot, because they are DIFFERENT. From you, that is. 425: "The Fictional Parent" by The GNN. Once again, Sweden shows its best side. Haha. Just kidding. The truth should be: Once again, Sweden stands out of the crowd, by preferring the easiest way out of a complex problem. Easy way out, indeed; the best way out, certainly not. Or judge for yourself. This is merely The GNN's point of view on the subject. 426: "Neighbor Trouble II" by The Chief. Neighbors surely can be a pain in the ass! But one must not forget that a 'neighbor' lives very close to you. Closer than you might firstly believe. But the problem is still there: THE DIFFERENCE! 427: "Freudipus" by George Kozma. Close historical investigation of a given speciality at a given time discloses a set of recurrent and quasi-standard illustrations of various theories in their conceptual, observational, and instrumental applications. These are the community's paradigms, revealed in its textbooks, lectures and laboratory exercises. The paradigm of Sigmund Freud is no exception, as Kozma here argues. 428: "Genetic Moralism" by The GNN. We live in the age of the scientific method, the true and reliable modus operandi of coming to correct conclusions through bullet-proof logical thinking. Overwhelming? Not necessarily. The scientific method is, and will always be, limited to a special part of the universe. But, as always, some people will misconceive the most obvious truths. This file tries to remedy one misconception: that it is 'scientifically proven' that we are 'natural egoists'. 429: "uXu Index #29" by Bravemoore. Another info-packed index. Find everything you need, to know more! How to order back-issues, subscribe and so on. If by some strange reason still shouldn't be satisfied, try out our... duuh.. v{bbsida.
