NPR (not piano related) Census 2000

[carl meyer]

Brian:
Last time a doctor wanted to give me an anal exam I told him it was not
my favorite activity.  He said it wasn't his either.  Seems the
Government doesn't mind.  Bill will say it depends on what anal means. 
Hillary will say its for the children.  
We have laws against racism and then a government that practices it. 
They will justify it so that they can redistribute wealth on a racial
basis.  A perfect definition of racism if I ever heard it. 
I got the short form. It is racist by definition.  I'm planning to check
(other) under race and then writing in "human".  Then when I come to my
children I will put "mixed human".  If a gov agent comes to my door and
asks why I didn't answer the questions I can always say "I did! I did!
I'm surely more human that the census takers.!
What do you expect from a liberal government?  Liberalism is a mild form
of socialism, socialism is a mild form of communism, communism is a mild
form of facism, facism is a mild form of slavery and slavery is a mild
form of death.  Do you feel safer now that Bill has legislation that
prevented 100000 criminals from buying guns?  It may have been that
10000 criminals tried ten times to buy a gun and then on the eleventh
try either got one or went on the black market or even stole one. 
Better keep your voicing needles sharp.  They may be your only means of
self defense soon.
Piano proctologists unite!!!!!
