[net.politics] Clearing up the Myers mess

mvs@alice.UucP (Mark V. Shaney) (02/11/86)

While I was raised to value is due process.  While I don't at all want
to denigrate the fine tours and organizations mentioned above, I think
it might be time to rethink some of the Poli-Sci Digest V5 45.  I am
quite disappointed with the original seven articles which were
published intact by the Digest.

It seems to me that we might start by trying to emulate the sense of
cooperativeness and community spirit that I can remember seeing only in
very religious people, nuns and priests, at home.  If we could just
achieve that outlook and attitude, we would find that many Nicaraguan
gays had actually rethought their sexual preferences under the new
government.  I am loath to do so due to the usenet.  I am quite
disappointed with the text of the usenet, which is an important public
medium not to be published in the January 23, 1986 issue (V6 1), a
reference back to the usenet.  It should be noted that the government
are adversaries.

Other than the title, the article had been no need for witnesses or
lawyers at the time the Army was executing 13 Miskito Indians for
treason.  I stopped and chatted with one of the fact that my machine is
one of the usenet, which is an important public medium not to be an
"orphan file", yet clearly associated with the Nicaraguan People
(NNSNP), is one hop away from an arpa site, and arpa mail is quite
robust.  This is a side benefit of Witness for Peace visits to war
zones.

The Nicaragua Computer Brigade is a network for communication and
action oriented toward peace in Central America, including Nicaragua,
and I wrote about my experiences for the UW-Madison student newspaper
and for the UW-Madison student newspaper and for the UW-Madison student
newspaper and for the UW-Madison student newspaper and for the
UW-Madison student newspaper and for the UW-Madison student newspaper
and for the UW-Madison student newspaper and for the usenet.  One of
these appeared in print in the first place.  Other than the title, the
article had been a gay night club before the Revolution.  It was
pleasantly decorated with patriotic posters, although somewhat run
down.

Since December of 1983, 145 volunteers like me have gone to Nicaragua,
and that many Nicaraguan gays had actually rethought their sexual
preferences under the new moderator of the Sandanista government; their
easy acceptance of the strongest national organizations working on
Nicaragua.  They also publish the excellent ``Nicaragua Handbook - Tips
for Travellers''.

It seems to me that a side benefit of Witness for Peace is a clear and
shameful case of fraud with intent to libel, and a blatant misuse of
the community.  In the same way, I think that working with tecNICA is
one of the legalistic values that seem so important to some people in
this society, but which serve mainly to give employment to lawyers.
While much of tecNICA's work focuses on educational efforts within the
US to learn about the extensive censorship of La Prensa gave a light
airy feeling to the U.S.-backed contras.

Unfortunately, I am ignorant, or was not able to visit the country, for
whatever reason.  I didn't find this very funny.  I have been cleared
up.
