A restrainirig order med by student
Paul Westmoreland has caused the
suspension of Evergreen's ' Student
Governance, and has ' placed student
government in another transition stage.
Westmoreland objected to the cultural
caucus system of governance, and in his
suit sought to prohibit S&A funding for
the organization.
Vice President for Student Affairs
Gail Martin was obligated to stop funding
for the SO until the situation was
resolved.
In a meeting Wednesday Evergreen's
legal counsel, Assistant Attorney General
Mike Grant, said he could not advise a
sub-organization (SG) which, "singled out
protected ciasses for special treatment,
pro or con."
Grant was careful not to suggest what
a newly drafted governance document
should contain, but he did, "recommend
against institutionalizing the caucus
system. The caucuses can do whatever
they want, but keep it out of the written
document"
'
Lar:ry Jefferson, coordinator for the
SG, replied, "I'd like to create something
more, something better than the normal
government and normal rules." He
repeatedly voiced concerns that protected
classes should have express opportunity
to be heard in student governance affairs.
Grant agreed that the underpinnings

his approval. accmling to Mattie Kirk.
She said the list of candidates and
interview times, ~OIJlpil~ without
Qureshi's consultation, was disttibuted to
the community on Monday, February 25.
Lee, in a letter to Qureshi, wrote,
"My right to tell you, before the
interview selections, about both my
of and
positive
recommendations
objections to the candidates has been
denied."
Although Kirk said she had not read
Lee's letter, she believes the process was
followed correctly, but there was a
misunderstanding at the final meeting of
the search committee. Kirk says the
committee had heard Lee's concerns
about one of the finalists, but that she
was overruled by a majority of the
committee.
The hiring authority can either allow
the search committee to schedule
interviews with the selected candidates or
the hiring authority can schedule the
inteniew with other candidates, according
to Charcn Blankenship, who also served
on the search committee.

Concern over hiring of a new
Director of Employee Relations prompted
' an emergency . meeting_ of Ev~rgreen 's
union stewards February 28. An
impromptu si~-gathering campaign
was undenaken in an attempt to show
community
disapproval
of
some
candidates for the director position (see
reiated story). .
Concerns that the hiring process was
subverted were apparently caused by a
misunderstanding within the search
committee, according to Mattie Kirk,
chair of the search committee.
The committee selected five fmalists
and four alternates on Friday, February
22, for submission to Vice President of
Finance and Administration - Jamil
Qureshi, the hiring authority for the
director position.
Union Steward Helen Lee, a member
of the hiring committee, believed she
would be able to submit written
comments to Qureshi before the
scheduling of interviews.
When presented with the committee's
selections, Qureshi opted not to review
them, instead empowering the hiring

Two of the fmal candidates for the

attention of the Evergreen employees'
union. Almost 100 people attended the

institution of drug testing programs came

Bernard Davis, presently employed
with the Kerr-McGee Corporation, stated
on his resume he had, "Successfully

to decertification of four bargaining

In Davis' interview last Friday,
several people expressed their concerns
over other portions of his resume. His

refused to address the inadequate working
conditions at the Kerr-McGee plant. Hugh
Moag, a student who attended Davis'
interview said, "It's just too bad he didn't
choose to highlight his positive Union
agreements instead of decertifications on
his resume."

identifying where compromise could be
reached. Suggestions from all those
present brought directioQ to the
government refonnation process.
Gail Martin and Shannon Ellis, dean
of student and academic support services,
indicated that the Services and Activities
Board could ~a1Iocate unused SO funds
to a new planning group which would
create a constitutionally viable governance
system.
The SO has accepted its lack of
approval, but had not yet fonnally
dissolved. The requisite open nature of
the planning group appears to have ended
the life of the SO.
Earlier Wednesday, a dozen students
concerned about the SO discussed issues
raised by the restructuring of student
government. Debate revolved primarily
around multiculturalism and racism, and
the ways they surface at Evergreen.
Several alternate ideas for a new
governance structure were discussed, as
well.
During
next
Wednesday's
governance meeting, which is open to all
students, the planning JXOCCSS for the
next sl1KIent government will begin. The
meeting will be held at 3 pm in CAB

Mter seeing a presentation on
pornography recently -at the Timberland
Library, I was sick to my stomach from
the images. However, at the same time I
was disturbed by some of the sentiments
expressed during the presentation.
The presentation made supportive
references to the Minneapolis antipornography ordinance that censored
pornography in the name of civil rights.
Luckily, the ordinance was deemed
unconstitutional by the courts.
The ordinance presumes that certain
fonns of pornography, deemed incorrect
by an arbitrary law and the interpretation
of a judge, is not legitimate speech.
Instead it is seen as fIlth, not worthy of
First Amendment protection. However, as
is always the case with censorship, one
person's heartfelt expression is another's
trash.
The ordinance is disturbing because,
for example, it could be interpreted · in

such a way that homo-erotic depictions
could be banned, and the depiction of
bondage would be banned as though it
could never be a healthy consenting
experience.
Even if the ordinance was modified,
it would still be open to i.nterpretation.
We should never allow others, backed by
the power of the state, to 1nterpret what
is "safe" for us to look at or read.
True, most pornography is produced
by men for men at the expense of
of
women.
However,
censorship
pornography, the good and the bad,
would only further push our sexuality
into the realm of the forbidden and
unspeakable. As a society, we cannot
deny ourselves pornography as a tool to
understand our sexuality.

A: Dianne said for me to ask you about
the man with no fmgers.
S: [laughs] Oh, that story. Well you
know, when you're learning how to be a
newspaper person--I covered sewage
system meetings and things in these small
towns while I was in high school and
college for the Ela-Vernon Town Crier,
which encompassed about five counties of
farmers. They printed everybody else's
weekly papers too. I used to proofread
until two o'clock in the morning, get
newsprint all over me, and the guy that
ran the printer was always there, he had
nine million opinions about everything, he
was kind of scary...
A: And that was the man with no .
fingers?
S: Yeah, he had no fingers because he'd
get his hands caught in the pr~ss every
once in a while. He'd been there since
the press was built He never went home,
I think he lived there, he'd smoke like a
fiend and wear these coveralls, he had a
hat with nine million pins on it, real
skinny, missing teeth .. .! think he just
loved to scare the kids. He'd go "Look,
I have no fingers!", shove these things in

Satanic horrors haunted .family
by Chris Bader.
.
,
Forget the "Amityville Horror." we
have something closer to home. Sue, a
Washington resident, recently told me hez
story of living in afrighteniilg haunted
house in · Edmonds, a waterfront town
north ·of Seattle.
. sUe lived in the house during her
high school years (1980-1984) with her
parents and 'youngezand older brothe~.
She says that soon after the family
moved in, strange things began to happen
which may be tied to her older brother's
penchant for "satanism. " Apparently he
spent much time in his room "taking
drugs and trying to conjure things."
The first experience Sue remembers
happened when she was alone in the
house late one night, waiting for her
parents to return from a dinner date. ~he
was in the living room watchmg
television when, out of the comer of ~er
eye, she noticed a large figure standing .
on the deck. Turning to look at the figure
more closely, she noted that it appeared
to be "at least six feet tall and was
wearing a robe." The creature walked the
.
length of the deck and vanished.
On another occasion, a friend of
Sue's saw the "ghost of an old woman"

UNDER THE
EVERGREENS
by Scott A Ricbardson
Howling winds and inches of rain
over last weekend put to rest any thought
of an early spring. My records show a
similar pattern in recent years: a brief
spell of unseasonably warm weather at
the end of February. But the time-tested
adage which applies this week is for
March, which comes in like a lion and
leaves like a Iamb.
Despite the weather some stalwart
naturalists made it outdoors to record the
latest signs of the advancing season.
Skunk cabbage is in blossom, tantalizing
the olfactory sense of humans and insects
alike. Elderberry leaves push out of their
buds, "pussy willows" soften the
landscape, and alder catkins have
loosened, sending pollen into the cool air.
Rufous hummingbirds are back,
though none have been reported on
campus yet. Listen and watch for them
near the almost-blossoming cherry trees
and at the ornamental flower beds around
Red Square.
Also at Red Square--a bam owl flew
north across the square one night last
week. A great homed owl has been seen
near the entrance to McCann Plaza, and
the saw-whets and western screech owls
continue to call at several locations
across campus.
, On the west side, the CPJ editor
scrutinized a handsome songster, then
pored over his field guide to identify a
male purple fmch. Watch for more of
them on conifer treetops as we march
toward spring.

Initiative 119 recognizes right to die
by Daniele Tsezana
Death is the last experience of every
human being, and the manner of death is
the last chance to affirm one's personal
autonomy. By what right do the hospital, '
the state, and the general public presume
to dictate how a person should die?
Where is the compelling public interest in
forcing a terminally ill patient to endure
weeks or months of agonizing pain and
mental anguish? Does the individual's
death belong to her, or to the state?
Courts have already ruled that even
non-terminal patients have an absolute
right to refuse treatment, including food,
thus bringing about their own death.
What will Initiative 119 change?
Principally, it will enable those competent
(within six months) to request the
assistance of a doctor in choosing the
time of their death.
What are the arguments ,against the
initiative? Opponents focus mainly on the
"slippery slope" argument today we allow
voluntary euthanasia; tomorrow we do
away with everyone who is unproductive
or "different." This argument is specious,
since it presumes a shift in control from

inConceivable that the state, or any other
entity could have a greater interest in an
individual's death that the person
experiencing it. This is clearly an
example of the need to curb public
interference with private matters. Initiative

by Paul Slusher
As the shroud of war loomed heavily
on our minds and on our televisions over
lhe past few weeks, the Bush
administration has continued to load the
deck behind our collective back. As we
all were busy watching Bush flex his
western-paid-for armed contingent in the
Middle East, the aid that had been
previously cut to El Salvador, was ohso-quietly reinstated. Even consistent
activists who focus on El Salvador in
particular were caught napping.
The United States had been supplying
the Cristiani government a total of $96
million a year. The cut in aid, which
occurred last October, set the new total
for aid at $52 million. Sending even $52
million to a government that has bombed
and tortured its own people since 1980
for simply wanting to organize labor
unions is $52 million too much.
However, the bill that Congress
passed left a major escape clause for the
president. The arrangement was that if
Mr. Bush felt it "necessary," he was 'free
to restore aid at any time. Well, the day
was January 15, the same day that the
"deadline" for Iraq, and while we eagerly
watched the countdown, the aid was
restored without a sound.
As this was done, however, the
International Monetary Fund loaned EI
Salvador a modest $50 million, nullifying
any cut in aid. So the Cristiani
government is now equipped with a total
of $145 million, ample funds to resupply
the military there a dozen times over.
With the growing attention being
focused on the war with Iraq, Bush saw
it as a perfect opportunity to fmally put
another nail in the coffin for freedom in
EI Salvador.
Three days prior to Bush's move to
restore aid, the Maximiliano Hernandez
death squad issued a communique to the
country of El Salvador. It stated that all
intellectual, religious, and political leaders paper in El Salvador, leaving Diario

Faculty defy campus smoking regulations
by Matt Carritbers
Are you aware that some of our
faculty and staff are breaking campus
policy on a regular basis in the flrst floor
of the CAB? Right behind the kitchens,
on the other side of CAB 108, a group
of faculty and staff are smoking during
their lunch hours on a regular basis. The
smoking area in the building is just down
the hall from where they sit day in and
day out, but they do not use it. Not 20
feet from where they sit is a sign on the
door stating there is no smoking allowed
in the building. Signs have been posted
around the table at which they sit stating
the campus policy of smoke-free
buildings.
I was rather disturbed to hear a
woman who had placed some additional
no-smoking signs in the . area confront
this group of faculty and staff. Instead of
accepting the gentle reminder of their
confusion over campus policy and
complying, certain individuals within the
group did their best to intimidate and
humiliate her. They told her to "run
along" several times, as if she were a
little girl asking mommy for a quarter.
I decided to take action and called
campus Security, reporting there was a
group of people in ' the CAB smoking in
a non-smoking area. I did not say that
they were faculty and staff. Security did
come. The officer did approach the
group. He inquired as to whether they
were aware that they were in a smokefrte area, referring to the sign on the
door 20 feet away. A voice from the
group stated that they were in a smoking
area. The officer did not press the issue
further. I followed him to the front of the
CAB and explained I was the person who
reported the smoking. The offlcer
recounted his experience to me, saying
that he understood my position, but he
saw that some of them "carry a lot of
weight on campus," and he did not want
to press the issue with them.
I am extremely concerned about this
incident Do the people in authority of
this school feel that they do not have to
follow th,e rules that they help to instate
and enforce? Shouldn't the issue of
disagreement with the smoking policy be
addressed fonnally instead of its flagrant
violation? I feel uncomfortable being in
a community in which some of the
people feel that they are above the
policies by which everyone must abide.
The woman who confronted the
group and I are both filing grievances as
perhaps an immediate solution to this
problem. Unfortunately, I feel that the
persons involved will take this as a thorn
in their side and not be able to see the
hypocrisy in their "above the law"
attitudes. As a result, they will smoke
somewhere else and continue in their
righteous frame of thought.
If you are interested in what is
going on, go to the CAB first floor and
see for yourself.
Matt Carrithers is an Evergreen
student. .

C'TNTHS~
Captain Satan
artist defended
I do not normally defend people
(especially cartoonists) but found Mr. 4A's critique of the cartoon "Captain '
Satan," and also analysis of Mr.
Zastoupil's mental health much too
disturbing to ignore (February 21 CPJ). I
will explain myself in several parts.
1) The Cooper Point Journal is a
voice for The Evergreen State College.
That voice must accommodate everyone,
no matter what their views or how they
express them.
2) Politically correct censorship?
Maybe. Evergreen claims to be open to
most ideas, but virtually all extremist
opinions, particularly right-wing (with the
wonderful exception of anti-development)
are quietly smothered.
3) Who deflnes good taste? You?
Me?
Noah
Webster ?
Again,
accomm8<iating different viewpoints lets
everyone express themselves.
4) Simply look to the Bible to flnd a
superbeing wbo causes violence and
mayhem. I would much rather have my
heart punched out than be eaten alive by
a million locusts or slowly rot away from
plague. Superbeings are as old as the
hills, and embedded in our society in
myths, legends, and general ' folIdore.
Some of them do good deeds, others not
so good. Why is it that one that calls
attention to itself with such exceptional
art and a humorous storyline need to be
silenced?
5) How does 'Subjecting another
human being to death teach anything?
Coming to terms with one's own morality
is something that takes a lifetime to
realize and sometimes not even then.
Violence can also be defmed in many
ways; it may ' be the death of a single
butterfly or a million innocent people.
6) The statement "force him to more
productive deeds" is so very reminiscent
of Big Brother and the system of
government we are under in America.
t.vlif/J Wf '!<.[
HAVING 5!l Mu cH
,, \ /
One where a person on Capitol Hill
decides what is productive and what is
not. Let people think for theirselves and
make their own mistakes, that's how we
learn and evolve.
7) I am quite sure, like any other
artist, that expressing himself through his
chosen art (cartooning) is all that Mr.
Zastoupil needs as far as counseling.
Freedom to express through art is one
that we as Americans take largely for
granted and use ev~ryday. What if
too. 1985 estimates are that one in eight
men have been the victims of sexual
assault. Far fewer men than women
report being raped or seek counseling.
There are many walking wounded. Social
stigmatism and the assumptions of
masculinity: "men are strong, in control,"
prevent them from seeking help. The
victim could have been a man.
Steve Nelson, coordinator of Men's
Exploration
Nexus,
a
studentorganized, campus-based men's group
somebody had told Dali, Rembrandt,
Picasso or Bosch that they needed
counseling and their art bored them to
tears? Actually, thf1Y probably did, but
what are they now? They're presently
using them as the foundation for
expressive arts. Chiming in like the res~
of the sheep. Happens to the best critics.
8) The statement "bores us to tears"
certainly does not speak for me. I flnd
Captain Satan fun and well done, if that
opinion does not represent the majority,
then I relish this chance to be the
minority.

I would like to add my own
experience with CrirneWatch to Michelle
Minstrell's very informative article on the
subject (February 21 CPJ).
Last fall, my sister and I volunteered
for CrimeWatch. We requested from
Eleven, who was then coordinator, that
the two of us constitute a team and she
allowed that" although the custom was to
have man-woman teams. So, my sister
and I bopped around for two hours every
week · with our flashlight and walkietalkie, getting some very good exercise
and taking advantage of the free hot
chocolate. We performed the minimum of
one escort a night and sometimes as
many as four.
I joined CrirneWatch with another
woman because I believe that women
need to take direct action to protect
women, empowering themselves in the
process. I needed to take direct action
because I found myself being frightened
on campus. Every flashing, every assault,
every violent act toward women was
dutifully reported and I found myself
constricting in the face of this reality. I
didn't stay on campus to study after dark.
I didn't go to evening dances or
functions without the constant attendance
of a male. The fear of male violence
worked in my mind to restrict my
movements; a cause to clutch my books
to my chest and walk quickly with my
head down when crossing Red Square at
dusk.
This fear may not seem like a
shackle to people who have never
experienced it, but I know of some
women who know exactly what a
manacle with fear is. What tightened this
chain around me was that this was
happening even at the "liberal bastion" of
the west! Well, I figured, I don't have to
take it then, - being part liberal by
association. CrimeWatch offered a very
physical way for me to take some direct
action to get my freedom back along
with offering protection to other women
(if slightly
less
in
the
same
melodramatic) situation.
PerfOrming this service was a damn
good feeling. Talking with the women as
we walked them to their cars or the
dorms was a damn good feeling. Talking
some of them out of being embarrassed
for asking for proteCtion (ab, one of the
double-edged swords of womanhood, fear
or embarrassment) was a damn good
fee~g. I began to see what my sister
and I were doing as a small step towards
gender self-reliance. I also began to feel
anger instead of fear. And that was the
best feeling ,of all.
.
I have to admit I am still sometimes
scared, as is natural because there is still
violence done to women- at Evergreen,
but it is no longer a debilitating emotion.
This is not intended to be an
advertisement for the benefits of
volunteering for CrimeWatch, it is simpiy
a personal statement to help dispel the
negative feelings about this service. It
was a positive experience for me, and I
believe it was for the women we
escorted. I suppose, in away, this article
is a chiding to women to take action to
get back some of our power that we
expel in fear of men, but I realize that it
is a dangerous action and needs a
personal commitment to the safety of
women. Sometimes I wonder, though,
about the women that are involved in
combating male violence against women;
where are they when they are needed to
make a difference in their own backyard?

Eternal questions
in Coven House
Coven House is the best comic strip
that the
has had in a long time. I
like the way Cat Kenney tackles the
important issues of the day. She has
raised some important issues such as:
Do protestors bellow or baa?
Do gay people have a sense of
humor?
J Can
Denny's coffee get you
pregnant?
Now I just hope she tries to answer
some of these questions. Perhaps in
future strips she will tell us whether to
make steaks or mutton out of war
protesters. Should heterosexual people not
joke with our homosexual friends? And
most importantly, what kind of birth
control works best for people who choose
to engage in pre-marital coffee?

People with
AIDS not victims
This letter is in response to the
article in the February 21
that dealt
with women and AIDS. The article
showed how women' are marginalized in
the health care industry in some respects
due · to the fact that women's bodies
differ from men's in regards to AIDS.
The article itself was informative and
thought provoking, bringing much needed
information to the Evergreen community.
There are some things, however, that
must be correctedl
.
The title of the article reads: "Victims
of AIDS crisis include women." As an
AIDS activist I must say that whoever
chose this as the headline hf1S a poor
sense of the purpose of a headline. A
headline is supposed to catch, the interest
of the intended reader. This headline flfSt
made me made me sick then it pissed me
off, real bad.
No person living, dealing, or dying
with AIDS is a victim to IT. Since the
early eighties, when the AIDS service
industry was beginning to be instituted
into the health system, People Living
With AIDS have demanded they be
treated like humans and not corpses. The
Association of People with AIDS
(PLWA) met in Denver in 1983 and
issued the following statement: "We
condemn attempts to label us as
'victims,' which implies defeat, and we
are only occasionally 'patients,' which
implies passivity, helplessness, and
dependence on the care of others. Weare
'people with AIDS.'" To see this in
ePJ, a paper that considers itself so
poUticaUy correct, shows me that this
community might not be as sensitive to
issues dealing with AIDS as it plays up

"LESBO-A-GOGO"
STARRING LEA DELARIA
EVERGREEN RECITAL HALL
CH 1, 1991
by Andrew Hamlin
"Cocky" is a word Lea might slap
me for using to describe her. She has as
little to do with cocks as po~ible. But
when I told her she should star in the all
cross-cast
revival
of
"The
Honeymooners," she laughed. "It's a
compliment! Jackie Gleason is one of my
all-time favorites!"
"Lesbo-A-Gogo," a "multi-media dyke
extravaganza" with tapes, slides, songs,
and temper tantrums, didn't quite measure
up to Girl Friday, Delaria's three-person
comedy troupe that came here in January
1990. Long portions of her Saturday
night routine came word-far-word from
the old show, and pre-recorded music
can 't replace the robust piano of Richard
Weinstock. Still, to see this she-demon
penisless package of Elvis, Spanky, and
Ralph Kramden imitate the erect clitoris
in ballet--well, men have fallen off
Everest for less. Straight people at
Evergreen. all but three or four of whom
watched something else that night, don ' t
know what they missed.
Her opening act, Georgia Ragsdale,
got big laughs with a guitar and her line,
"Like all lesbians, I too am a folksinger."
After two funny songs showing she
wasn't (olky or a singer, she put the
guitar down and contrasted lesbians
dancing--sinous disco moves--with straight
women
dancing--"Oh
God,
my
makeup...My hair? Does he think I'm too
fat?" Her act was short but sweet. and
she unfortunately forgot to announce her
solo concert coming up soon. Somebody
promote it!
Hardly had she burst through a
projected slide of Gloria Steinem than
Lea was badgering the front row: "Are
you seeing me for the fIrSt time? Don' t
get nervous, I know what it [the
microphone) looks like ...would it help if
I vibrated it? [shake shake shake shake)

Provincetown also houses to a fancy
lesbian bar originally called...Secrets.
"SECRETS? I wanna open a bar Called
GIRLS LICK GIRLS HERE, with a big

[pointing
downward
emphatically)." She also wants her old
gynecologist back, "the 80 year-old one
\vith Parkinson's, [dreamy look)"; the
new one "plays Gene Autry songs when
I put my feet in the stirrups."
To deliver "Dating Tips For
Lesbians" she changed into a lovely pink
gown and read questions from the
audience. "' A gay man wants to know .. :
well I'll just toss that one, no, ' A gay
man -wants to know, can women do
everything in bed that men can? ' [pause)
A lesbian can do everything a man can
plus one--when we're through, we can
take it off [delicately squeezing two
fingers together] and put it in the
drawer." Then she lead "The Lesbian

"Whack

tried to whack a buttplug into a trash
can, using the bunplug-whacking device
provided. The volunteer couldn't get it in
three times but she did receive a nice
consolation prize.
This vulgar and profane woman can
also sing, and in song her-scowling face
becomes smooth, her screeches become
tender warbles; she scats like the sweet
percolation of morning coffee. "Empty
Bed Blues" sounded as good this evening
as it did with Girl Friday, although once
again I missed Richard playing his "large
instrument." If you get a chance pick up
her musical album and comedy video,
both due out next spring.

come true.
The Macintosh LC is rich in color. Unlike manycomputers that can display
only 16 colors at once, the Macintosh LCexpands your palette to 256 colors.
It also comes with a microphone and new sound-input technology that lets
you personalize your work by adding voice or other sounds.
like every Macintosh computer, the LC is easy to set up and easy to
master. And it runs thousands of available applications that all work in the
same, consistent way-so once you've learned one program, you're well
on yom way to learning themall.The Macintosh LC even lets you share information with someone who uses a different type of computer-thanks to
the versatile Apple®SuperDrive~ which can read fromand write to Madntosh,
MS-DOS, OS/2, and Apple II floppy disks.
Take a look at the Macintosh LCand see what it gives you.Then pinch

I thought that Saddam was a rotten
guy even when the U.S. State Department
thought him to be the hope of the Middle
East. But even with all of his crimes,
including genocide and the Kuwait
invasion, I think that sanctions, not war,
was the appropriate response.
.
We have been told in this country
that we are fighting for (among other
things) justice and the sovereignty of
nations. But if Kuwait had been a tiny,
impoverished nation whose main export
was broccoli, I don't think the State
Department would have been the slightest
bit interested in protecting it If Kuwait
had been a small, impoverished nation
whose 'national commitment had been to
education and health care for its people,
and an independent foreign policy, the
CIA would probably be running guns to
Saddam.
I am willing to concede that, contrary
to the predictions heard on this campus
of 20,000 Allied soldiers dead within the
first week of a ground war, from a
military perspective the Allied (read U.S.)

Go to war, get rich quick
by Hector Douglas
The New World Order snuffed out
approximately half a million Iraqis,
according to a representative of an IraqiAmerican organization who appeared on
CNN. Much of Iraq has been destroyed
and apparently civil war is erupting there.
Much of Kuwait was destroyed.
Thousands of gallons of oil were spilled
into the Persian Gulf. Thousands more
gallons of oil are burning up in smoke.
Millions of U.S. tax dollars were blown
up. Millions more are yet to be spent. As
I looked down the "highway of death" so
graphically portrayed on television, I
wondered how a negotiated Arab solution
could have turned out any worse than
what the New World Order has wrought.
And yet we're told that oil profits soared,
that many lucrative opportunities await
Al'll;erican
businessmen
in
the
reconstruction of Kuwait, and that smart
bombs will probably be a popular item in
the federal budget. I guess it was just
another "get-riCh-quick" scheme.

Response
describes an advanced state of immune
system breakdown in which a person is
progressively less able to fight off
common, treatable infections, and the
body can no longer keep in balance the
bacteria and yeast that are normally a
part of the body's ecosystem.
AIDS is widely believed to be the
result of infection with a newly identified
virus--in fact a newly identified form of
virus--Human Immunodeficiency Virus
from AIDS, page 9
to. I must say that if PL WA are victims
to anything, it is to this society's lack of
sensitivity and the medical community's
snail-pace response to the pandemic.
The article kept referring to this
pandemic as "HIVI AIDS," which confuses
things even more. Acquired Immune
Deficiency Syndrome is a syndrome, not
a single disease. AIDS is a defmition: it
(HIV, a so-called RNA or retro-virus).
AIDS and its opportunistic infections are
not
communicable!
"HIV
is
communicable through specific routes, but
is not contagious (i.e., it is not easily
"caught") ... AIDS is diagnosed when one
of a set of twenty or so unusual
opportunistic infections (01) becomes
uncombattable by the person with HIV
infection," according to Cindy Patton in
her book "Inventing AIDS." To imply
NOTHIN?
then that AIDS and HIV are OI~e in the
same is to say that HIV (a ; chronic
disorder) is incurable like AIDS. When in
fact HIV to progrySS to AIDS takes
anywhere from 10 to 20 years, then with
another five or so years from diagnoses
to die from immune system failure or
from one of the 01. We must be
sensitive to the needs of both PLWA and
HIV-ab+ people and not confuse the two.
