This is version 1.94.4 of Majordomo. If you're familiar with mail servers, an advanced user's summary of Majordomo's commands appears at the end of this message. Majordomo is an automated system which allows users to subscribe and unsubscribe to mailing lists, and to retrieve files from list archives. You can interact with the Majordomo software by sending it commands in the body of mail messages addressed to "majordomo@lists.xmission.com". Please do not put your commands on the subject line; Majordomo does not process commands in the subject line. You may put multiple Majordomo commands in the same mail message. Put each command on a line by itself. If you use a "signature block" at the end of your mail, Majordomo may mistakenly believe each line of your message is a command; you will then receive spurious error messages. To keep this from happening, either put a line starting with a hyphen ("-") before your signature, or put a line with just the word end on it in the same place. This will stop the Majordomo software from processing your signature as bad commands. Here are some of the things you can do using Majordomo: I. FINDING OUT WHICH LISTS ARE ON THIS SYSTEM To get a list of publicly-available mailing lists on this system, put the following line in the body of your mail message to majordomo@lists.xmission.com: lists Each line will contain the name of a mailing list and a brief description of the list. To get more information about a particular list, use the "info" command, supplying the name of the list. For example, if the name of the list about which you wish information is "demo-list", you would put the line info demo-list in the body of the mail message. II. SUBSCRIBING TO A LIST Once you've determined that you wish to subscribe to one or more lists on this system, you can send commands to Majordomo to have it add you to the list, so you can begin receiving mailings. To receive list mail at the address from which you're sending your mail, simply say "subscribe" followed by the list's name: subscribe demo-list If for some reason you wish to have the mailings go to a different address (a friend's address, a specific other system on which you have an account, or an address which is more correct than the one that automatically appears in the "From:" header on the mail you send), you would add that address to the command. For instance, if you're sending a request from your work account, but wish to receive "demo-list" mail at your personal account (for which we will use "jqpublic@my-isp.com" as an example), you'd put the line subscribe demo-list jqpublic@my-isp.com in the mail message body. Based on configuration decisions made by the list owners, you may be added to the mailing list automatically. You may also receive notification that an authorization key is required for subscription. Another message will be sent to the address to be subscribed (which may or may not be the same as yours) containing the key, and directing the user to send a command found in that message back to majordomo@lists.xmission.com. (This can be a bit of extra hassle, but it helps keep you from being swamped in extra email by someone who forged requests from your address.) You may also get a message that your subscription is being forwarded to the list owner for approval; some lists have waiting lists, or policies about who may subscribe. If your request is forwarded for approval, the list owner should contact you soon after your request. Upon subscribing, you should receive an introductory message, containing list policies and features. Save this message for future reference; it will also contain exact directions for unsubscribing. If you lose the intro mail and would like another copy of the policies, send this message to majordomo@lists.xmission.com: intro demo-list (substituting, of course, the real name of your list for "demo-list"). III. UNSUBSCRIBING FROM MAILING LISTS Your original intro message contains the exact command which should be used to remove your address from the list. However, in most cases, you may simply send the command "unsubscribe" followed by the list name: unsubscribe demo-list (This command may fail if your provider has changed the way your address is shown in your mail.) To remove an address other than the one from which you're sending the request, give that address in the command: unsubscribe demo-list jqpublic@my-isp.com In either of these cases, you can tell majordomo@lists.xmission.com to remove the address in question from all lists on this server by using "*" in place of the list name: unsubscribe * unsubscribe * jqpublic@my-isp.com IV. FINDING THE LISTS TO WHICH AN ADDRESS IS SUBSCRIBED To find the lists to which your address is subscribed, send this command in the body of a mail message to majordomo@lists.xmission.com: which You can look for other addresses, or parts of an address, by specifying the text for which Majordomo should search. For instance, to find which users at my-isp.com are subscribed to which lists, you might send the command which my-isp.com Note that many list owners completely or fully disable the "which" command, considering it a privacy violation. V. FINDING OUT WHO'S SUBSCRIBED TO A LIST To get a list of the addresses on a particular list, you may use the "who" command, followed by the name of the list: who demo-list Note that many list owners allow only a list's subscribers to use the "who" command, or disable it completely, believing it to be a privacy violation. VI. RETRIEVING FILES FROM A LIST'S ARCHIVES Many list owners keep archives of files associated with a list. These may include: - - back issues of the list - - help files, user profiles, and other documents associated with the list - - daily, monthly, or yearly archives for the list To find out if a list has any files associated with it, use the "index" command: index demo-list If you see files in which you're interested, you may retrieve them by using the "get" command and specifying the list name and archive filename. For instance, to retrieve the files called "profile.form" (presumably a form to fill out with your profile) and "demo-list.9611" (presumably the messages posted to the list in November 1996), you would put the lines get demo-list profile.form get demo-list demo-list.9611 in your mail to majordomo@lists.xmission.com. VII. GETTING MORE HELP To contact a human site manager, send mail to majordomo-owner@lists.xmission.com. To contact the owner of a specific list, send mail to that list's approval address, which is formed by adding "-approval" to the user-name portion of the list's address. For instance, to contact the list owner for demo-list@lists.xmission.com, you would send mail to demo-list-approval@lists.xmission.com. To get another copy of this help message, send mail to majordomo@lists.xmission.com with a line saying help in the message body. VIII. COMMAND SUMMARY FOR ADVANCED USERS In the description below items contained in []'s are optional. When providing the item, do not include the []'s around it. Items in angle brackets, such as

I actually went for it. First, thanks. Second, I have been meat free for about 1 year and 3 months. However, I am not a total vegan. Also, during the summer I went to New Orleans and broke my vegetarianism in order to partake in the local cuisine. I wonder how many other vegans/vegetarians break their tradition and under what circumstances. I also broke it and had some good prime rib with my family this past christmas/newyears. ------------------------------ Date: Tue, 2 Feb 1999 23:12:28 -0600 From: Christopher Michael Bourke Subject: (mobility) @@@@here's some reality for Ed & Tim. First, Ed, please, "I'm afraid I just don't agree with this"? It's mainly accepted historical interpretation and points of fact. Rebuttle if you wish, but please elaborate. Secondly, on to Tim's letter: >Oh come on both Chris', let's get some reality here. >Britain was primarily interested in advancing it's own >wealth at the expense of the people it conquered - thank >God colonialism has virtually died amongst the European >nations. It was pure exploitation, and competition for >power that accelerated the ravaging of other cultures and >their wealth to be ahead of their other European rivals. >The French and the British were constantly at it and look >how the Spanish before them decimated the peoples of >Central and South America. They had a very advanced >civilisation compared to many money grabbing, war mongering >Europeans. Again, in historical context if you pick up any book on Britain's history, instead of quoting the biased opinions of the "New Internationalist" you would see mounds of documentation. While France, Portugal and Spain attempted to drain colonies of natural resources and violently put down it's local people, enslaving them Britain had a much more positive effect. I'm not saying that colonialism was ever justified, just that relatively, the Brits never went to the extent of the rest of Europe. The Good that they did far outweighed the bad, and their motives were just as I said, attempts to open new markets and tear down trade barriers controlled by local and regional tyrants. >I think it's pure arrogance to suggest that any nation >should be encouraged to force others to accept its way of >life, culture and religion. Some people in the West have a >serious superiority complex! Again, if you know anything of true history, the Brits allowed self government, freedom of religion and even went to great extents to preserve language and culture in their colonies(observe for instance India, in which each local state was given local rule and encouraged to keep the mother tounge). Not so with the rest of Europe. Historical observation is not a justification for colonialism. I never suggested that any nation should "be encouraged to for others to accept its way". However, I will state that there are objective rules/guidelines for morality. Would you take your cultural relativism so far as to say WWII Germany was justified in their autrocities in so far as their own borders were concerned? > >Tribal wars in Africa were far less damaging to the world >and humanity than those fought by present 'first world' >nations over the centuries, but none so appalling as this >century. A result of Nationalism/Facism/and Socialistic trends, Capitalism did not percipitate in any measurable degree the events leading up to the Great world wars. >The U.S.A. was also built on colonialism to get where it is >today - the native peoples didn't get much say when it came >to living on their own land and what rights they had to >their own land. I don't think you'd be saying the same >things if the tables were turned. What the US Government did to the native americans was unforgivable. But one must understand the mentalities and situation involved. The Native Americans were largely Nomadic people who had no concept of "owning land." Even if the "white man" were to pay the native Americans for their land, they would see it as very odd and would probably not have anything to do with such a transaction. Europeans and Americans on the other hand had very evolved and developed sence and legal definitions of ownership which included land and natural resources. This culture clash was sadly inevitable, but I don't think that this country was build on the Manifest destiny move westward. The east already had highly developed and rich economic bases. >Capitalism and globalisation today, thanks to the 'free >market' has pushed its new brand of colonialism and >imperialism on other nations inside and outside the West, >to satisfy the minority rich in the rich nations and fuck >up the 'have-nots' in the process - the majority of these >people are forced into poverty by the current system. The >Majority world (Third World) nations are held to ransom by >the IMF and World Bank by never-ending debt and usury >(usury, at one time being a sin according to old >Judaeo-Christian and Islamic beliefs). Excuse me? The Third world's economic capital comes from INVESTMENT from the west, not extrodinarily high interest loans. If anything The third world nations would never (governmetns) would never get ANY loans because of political turmoil making them extremely bad credit risks. Instead these countries tend to print more money which leads to hyper inflation, ruining their OWN economies. The have nots are have nots, not because of external "multinational" corporations but because of thier own autocratic governments controlling their economy and raping their resources in attempts to continue their regimes. >Laissez-faire capitalism (sounds better than the present >form) but has led to ludicrous pacts between rich >governments allowing industry to have free reign, in >whatever countries industry chooses, i.e. the MAI pact >recently in Geneva. Industry will have no accountability - >so it can exploit workers, pollute the environment and just >continue to ravage about any decent thing left in society >and the world around us with no controls and governments of >poorer countries and even the rich ones won't be able to do >a damn thing about it unless this crazy notion is stopped. >So capitalism, laissez - frigging - faire or not, will >still exploit for capitalists' own ends; someone will >always suffer as a result. Ha! You have shown that you have no concept of what Laissez-faire capitalism is! No Government intervention in the economy is exactly what it says! NO INTERVENTION. That means no FAVORS no SUBSIDIES no FAVORITISM, period! Capitalism extends from political and moral theories not a need for economic development. No controls doesn't mean no accountability! Yet another way government controls in the form of tort reform pervert the true principles of Capitalism! Public resources such as drinking water and the air would be subject to public protection, ie through civil action against those who would polute the environment. Exploitation in a true laissez-faire, free market economy is NOT possible. Every man/woman is free to decide who to work for and at mutually agreed upon wages. Low wages are NOT exploitation in and of themselves. Please. >I'm not sure you can refer to Indonesia as a socialist >nation - it is still hands-in-glove with the capitalists of >the West, which helps fund it's repression of the East >Timorese and it's own people. Even China is more of a >capitalist nation with the gloss of communist principles >over it - now that is repressive to the extreme - the worst >of both bad worlds. ?!?!!? Indonesia not a socialist country? What praytell is it? If not socialist I would agree that it is ruled by a MILITARY REGIME, and not governed by capitalistic principles(which include respect of personal liberty against a tyrannical government) There is not a single private, major industrial entity in all of China with the exception of HK. Communisms death has been staved off and they have made capitalistic reforms in the last few decades, but they are FAR from capitalism. Everything is still state owned. >As for the rainforests and indigenous peoples - I'm not >just referring to the Amazonian one. Their destruction is >fuelled by the insatiable desire of capitalist-driven >globalisation. Subsistence farmers wouldn't have to destroy >so much if they were in a state that provided controlled >and carefully managed agriculture and >conservation/ecological principles to benefit everybody and >everything. Let's also remember that the prime culprits of >rainforest destruction are the rich cattle ranchers, heavy >industry and dam builders funded by the World Bank, for the >rich countries own interest and usury. Just like Stalin's Russia huh? The murder of millions of Kulaks in the name of government controlled agricultural development. Global warming and the Rain Forests are scientifically questionable to begin with. Ha! You sound like a militia man they with your conspiritorial antagonisms toward the World Bank. They don't own everything my friend. again, see above. >There is enough food to feed everyone in the world right >now, but under the current economic regime (which is out of >control and is on the verge of self-destruction)- the haves >get more and the have-nots get even less. Where does it end? > >Are you saying that all us comfortable, well-off types >(usually already born with a silver spoon in our mouths, >while others are trapped in poverty with no chance of ever >escaping, all because of past silver spoon, exploitative >bastards), should leave people starve to death?

People must be fired >from there jobs and become homeless because they're human >and not running around like headless chickens for the sake >of the stock market to feed the fat bastards at the top. >Some of us have short memories. <<<>>>but simply self-destruction. > Atlas Shrugged. You identify the prime mistake in all statist/conrolled economy advocates. First, you resort to pathos-like rhetoric trying to appeal to people with the pathetic starving masses. You ignore the entire basis of WEALTH. Wealth is not static, it is not given, it is created! The Atlases of our world create weath through hard work and earned(ie deserved) endeavors. In a free society wealth cannot be used to exploit put down or influence anyone to do anything! The only problem with today's system is that people with money(the rich) aren't true to the ideals of laissez-faire capitalism and the governments instituted allow such bribery. the wealth would rather not have to work to maintain or create weath and instead buy influence with governments and those in control. This is the TRUE problem and why many people still suffer poverty. >True equality is liberty against economic and social >oppression. True equality is equality before the law. The only entity that should morally be allowed to have a monopoly on physical force is the Government. And within that government, application of the law is equal accross all social/political/racial/etc... differences. Egalitarianism is a vile and perverse form of equality that should never be allowed("Harrison Bergeron"). There is no such thing as a right to a house, a right to food, a right to entertainment or anything else. There is only a right to freely persue the acquisition of these things through one's own work and talent. No one is entitled to another man's property. > >Okay, that's it for now - just haed to get it off my chest >- I was bursting!
