	You know what, I think your an IDIOT, as an American I reserve 
the 
	right to say (and think) so. Mr. Idiot, dont you think this is 
	a very MAJOR leap of logic, "RESENT BUSINESSES ON THE...NET",
	no I resent spam heads like you wasting my time and eyesight
	with BULLSHIT gimmics, endless links and screen bait like this
	clogging up news groups where they are not wanted or read!
	I came here for something else!	
	I want ANAMATED ASCII ART, not some small minded drunken pig
	farmer spewing his Rush Limbaugh bullshit about how theres
	an imagined group of society thats out to get him.....

	"The vast majority"....BWAHAHABWAHAaaaaaa, WHERE!?! let me see 
them?
	post a list, exactly what majority are we talking about? If 
	there were ANY shred of truth to your opinion you wouldnt even be
	compelled to write...SHEESH!

> and do NOT want any "computer hippies"

	Isnt he great folks; Lets give him a big hand.....

	Yes, Yes, I admit: working at home sending more spam to people,
	and turning your $6.00 into $10,000 in 30 seconds - Oh an lets
	not forget growing worms or selling pictures of naked people
	DAMN, THATS VALUABLE STUFF! A freaking national asset.... 

>information on the Internet since that's what the Internet is
> supposed to be all about!

	Who the hell are you to spew what "the internet is all about"
	you oughta bone up on its history before you make anymore
	statements like that....

> 
> Whether or not you like receiving E-mail, if you are a true American,

	So, basically, what your saying is that if I dont like 
	YOUR usless crap, then IM a commie, right?

>then you will fight for anybody's right to do so. 

	Right, right...and how do we do THAT? wait, wait lemme guess
	send you $10.00 today, right......

	This is true, I support your right to post this trash, and would 
fight
	to support YOUR right to post this trash, but I know for a fact 
that 
	if you were in charge, you WOULD NOT support my right to make a 
point
	that bothers you....and as a "computer hippie" you would for sure
	have me sensured as you are obviously a person for whom it woould 
be 
	impossable to see any other sense of reason..

	You sound more STUPID with each passing line, I cant ignore 
	your BULLSHIT when I have to wade through 150 - 200 peices of it 
per
	day just to see if theres some mail from someone I actuslly 
Know...
	Like I said, I dont want your trash...If I did, Id look for it.

	"THE COST OF A FREE SOCIETY?"  Hears the cost, 

		WHY DONT YOU RUN ALONG NOW AND GET A ->REAL<- JOB...
