(No Blog Monday - Back At It Tuesday)

2 QUOTES FOR THE WEEKEND
"Humor is the essential ingredient of a democratic society."
- - A sign seen in "The Village", location of the TV series "The Prisoner."


"I hate pants. This is something I have inherited from my father. He despised pants, and my mother was never allowed to wear them at home."
- - Arnold Schwarzenegger (Playboy Magazine, 1988)



THIS WEEKEND IN HISTORY
August 30th, 1967
-- US Senate confirms Thurgood Marshall as 1st black U.S. Supreme Court Justice
August 31st, 1989 -- Operatives for Papa George Bush purchase some crack cocaine off the street so the President can hold the illegal drug in his hands during a national address. During the presidential campaign of 1999, George Bush The Lesser refuses to discuss his own cocaine use, or the fact that people are doing long prison sentences in Texas for the same crime.
September 1st, 1987 -- During a nonviolent protest of American arms shipments to the contras at Concord Naval Weapons Station in California, a Navy munitions train runs over blockader S. Brian Willson who loses both legs below the knee. Willson is later sued by civilian members of the train crew for the "humiliation, embarrassment & emotional distress" the incident caused them. Brian Willson remains to this day, an active & articulate leader in the anti-military movement.

RHINO HERE:
I begin by asking you for a favor. Following this Labor Day Blog, I will be sending a 2nd email which asks that if you appreciate the work I'm doing (usually late at night & without financial rewards) that you send an email out to any friends, relatives or cohorts who you think would appreciate receiving Rhino's Blogs. My list has been growing (now 20,000 strong) & I hope it will continue to do so. So thanks in advance, for reading my pitch, & forwarding it on, especially to any potential youthful activists.   'preciate it.

Had The Virus Lately?
I know many people have had the virus recently so I want to give 2 suggestions on how to protect yourselves in the future. Now some will think I sound like a smart ass with my #1 suggestion but believe me when I say it's not meant that way. If you don't like#1, I think #2 will definitely help you.
#1) Get a Macintosh. Ask anyone who has a Mac if they've ever gotten a computer virus on it.
#2) On your Windows machine:
- Open your email address book & click "new contact".
- In the "contact name" field, type in AAAAAAA.
- In the "email address" field, also type in AAAAAAA.
The name AAAAAAA will be placed at the top of your address book as entry #1. This will be where the worm will start in an effort to send itself to all your friends. But, when it tries to send itself to AAAAAAA, it will be undeliverable because of the phony e-mail address. If the 1st attempt fails (which it will because of the phony address), the worm goes no further and your friends will not be infected. Here's the 2nd great advantage of this method. If an e-mail cannot be delivered, you'll be notified in your In Box promptly. If you ever get a e-mail telling you that a e-mail addressed to AAAAAAA couldn't be delivered, you know right away you have the worm virus in your system & you can then take steps to get rid of it!
Rhino encourages you to pass this on to all your non-Mac friends.  (:- )

Conversation With Arnold Schwarzenegger
Oui Magazine, August, 1977

The man with the world's most perfectly developed physique destroys a few myths about body building: He smokes dope, stays out late and forgets to take his vitamins...
..."I can look at a chick who's a little out of shape and if she turns me on, I won't hesitate to date her. If she's a good fuck, she can weigh 150 pounds, I don't care."...
