Curious to know your take on this point of view:

Suzie Bright on the Starr Report:

And now we have the Starr report. Wanna know what
professional sex radicals and pornographers have to
say about the "The Referral"? I'll tell you -- we're dyin'
out here. It feels like everything we've worked for has
been hijacked to some totally isolated island
controlled by Pat Robertson's Christian Coalition. Last
week friends e-mailed me with requests to get to the
bottom of the notorious Footnote 210, the cryptic
oral/anal reference that remains unexplained yet
dripping with innuendo in the report's index. Is this
what all my patient and reassuring essays on anal sex
have come to -- a gig as an expert interpreter on the
footnotes of a witch hunt? No fucking thanks! The
chances of me now running a little innocent sex-ed
column about the joys of rimming are absolutely zero.
I've never been so turned off to anal sex in my life.

Last week I also got the copy-edited proofs for the
new edition of "Best American Erotica," my annual
anthology of the year's most outstanding erotic prose.
As usual, I have a little crush of awe and admiration for
every author I include. I think they're each so original
and sensitive. But now I look at their valiant work and
wonder, "Does anyone want to read erotica anymore?"
When the American public is being told that Ken
Starr's narrative is the raciest, steamiest prose since
Harold Robbins last rubbed himself on a rug, what
does that do for the reputation of erotic writing? This
sucks!

I had thought of writing about the current medical
debate about the "size" of the clitoris this week -- but
it's impossible to write about anybody's clitoris these
days if you don't include Monica Lewinsky's. I want to
write about adultery and sex changes and Internet sex
communiqués, but I can't even get to my own
perspective on these issues without being suffocated
by images of Hillary's tight lips and Ken's youthful
cross-dressing. Bill pleads to the grand jury, between
bathroom breaks, "You've criminalized my sex life!"
and I'm saying, "Yeah, well, all you assholes have
criminalized everyone else's sex lives from the get-go,
and now you've successfully cauterized your own!"
Where do we go to have a sweet sexual moment, a
private intimate thought, without being invaded by this
wire-tapped, semen-stained coup d'état ?

Speaking as someone who has agitated on the front
lines to illustrate the benefits of erotic candor, I feel
robbed, I feel sick. I joked that the Meese Report was
unintentionally sexy because it quoted so much actual
pornographic prose. But the Starr Report is
ANTI-erotic because it takes every sex act, no matter
how vivid, and turns it into a cross between shame and
chopped liver. Starr may make Clinton look awful, he
may crucify privacy rights and due process, but he
makes sex look like we're better off without it.

Have not read yet, but I will.

Bibliographical Information: "Armageddon Script: Prophecy in Action", by Peter Lemesurier , Paperback, ElementPublication, 1993, ISBN: 0906540372 .

Author's Stated Purpose of Book: Lemesurier states the occult belief that, once a sage utters a prophecy, he sets the stage
for that prophecy to be so attractive to the minds of so many people that the "fulfillment" of that prophecy is "guaranteed" at
some point in the future. Author sets out to "discover" the principles behind this occult phenomena.

Key Points: Author states: 1) Jesus was able to do the many miracles ascribed to Him in His first ministry, largely because of
the work of the religious group, The Essenes. Author then "explains" how all the "miracles" in the Gospels were not Divine, but
staged; 2) Likewise, the coming Messiah [Antichrist] will deliberately stage the "fulfillment" of the Old Testament prophecies
which the Jews are expecting him to fulfill, thereby deceiving them! 3) In the last one-third of the book, Lemesurier lists all the
prophecies for which the Orthodox Jew and Fundamentalist Christian are expecting Messiah to be fulfilled; then, he
demonstrates how "Messiah" [whom he calls Antichrist on one occasion] will "fulfill" these prophecies, one by one. Thus, the
Orthodox Jew and Fundamentalist Christian will accept Antichrist as their long-awaited Messiah and Jesus Christ returned the
second time, respectively. 4) In this process, Lemesurier tells us much, much detail as to the Plan to move the world into the
New World Order. 5) Author demonstrates the role that the Liberal Mass Media will play in aiding Antichrist to deceive the
peoples of the world.

Significance of Book; Contribution Book Makes: Lemesurier gives us a check list of events which are planned to move the
world to the point where The Christ [Antichrist] may appear. We see that some of these events have already occurred, with
many more to come. Interestingly, most of these plans are precisely what the Bible has foretold will happen in the Last Days!

Is Information Presented New? Yes, no other author of which I am aware, has given us such a detailed listing of all the
deceiving events that Antichrist is going to stage immediately after his appearance, to deceive the entire world. No other author
has also given us such a detailed list of the many events which will occur before Antichrist arises, to prepare the world for his
appearance. When you put these two lists together, you have an exciting picture of the many coming events designed to
successfully stage Antichrist.

Soros, what I am most interested in knowing more about is the current spin on the alignmnet of planets. Due to align in May 2000.

The principles of physics are not my forte, but then I am not dumb as a rock either. Obviously such magnetic pull should prove to be more than business as usual.

It is about as serious as two heart attacks, and like the ozone, simply isn't even mentioned anywhere by anyone.
