THE RAVEN was overheard talking in "Joe's" about Adding to the List and
said:
TR> "This just in from our Moscow bureau..."
TR> MZ> Where ya' been hiding? Noticed on the highlander website that they
TR> MZ> are listing episodes in september (though the last 4 and the september
TR> MZ> episodes are listed TBA). Does this mean we get a 5th season.
TR> Its beginning to look like it. I've seen the same things.
I also noticed that they are rebuilding the website this month some
time. One might ask, why bother if you ain't gonna renew.
The highlander goddess purchased the second season (was there any
doubt). And I just finished the episode where Tessa gets killed. I
can't believe they cut the part where Richie comes back to life in the
U.S. Do we get ripped of or what?!

From astride a Pale Horse, łANATśō heard...
PA> That's why I hate inputting that sort of thing... I never keep
PA> articles laying around! It was from an article in 'Time' or
PA> 'Business Weekly'.
JH> Oh, those....2 magazines run by men... |-D
But if it ran in "Cosmopolitan" it'd be all right?
PA> Sure, it is! If you're not so concerned about maintaining the
PA> financial 'status quo' then surely one of you could take a few
PA> years off from the workforce and practice homeschooling your
PA> kids. Chances are, they'd be better off for it!
JH> Ha, ha, ha! You've got to be kidding! My poor children....I want
JH> them to be well educated. I know my own limitations and I really don't
JH> think I'd make a very good teacher. I'm a good mom and am very good at
JH> teaching them values and common sense but as far as English (well,
JH> maybe English would be okay), History, and Mathmatics (especially
JH> mathmatics) goes there is *no way* that I am up to it.
Bah! By the time they've reached levels with which you have
difficulty, you will have taught them how *to learn* with only
minimal guidance from yourself. Teaching children to learn is
one of the major stumbling blocks of the US educational system.
PA> There was a 3 year-old in England back in '93 who enjoyed
PA> interacting with older children. When his mother took him to
PA> a mall, he walked away with 2 10 year-olds. Becoming bored
PA> with him, the 10 year-olds led him down by the railroad tracks
PA> and smashed his skull in with a rock. His body (or the remains
PA> thereof) was found 3 weeks later.
JH> But Phil, this has nothing to do with exposing children to a variety
JH> of backgrounds in a controlled school environment.
Controlled school environment: A situation in which children
are educated based on their maturity and current achievement
levels.
Day-schools and their like too often have the tendency to allow,
and in some cases force, children to interact outside of their
peer groups. The establishment of a "peer identity" is a vital
part of the development of esteem and self-esteem.
PA> Is a 'lone' parent *really* equipped to perform that function?
PA> No. The Day-care industry is proof of that.
JH> In what way? You're saying that because a child goes to day care that
JH> a lone/single parent is unable to teach them good moral values? I
JH> wouldn't send my child into a Day Care environment where I did not feel
JH> that they would teach my child the same type of values that I stressed
JH> at home. It would not be a resonable or responsible act.
Ah! *You* feel that that would be unreasonable and
irresponsible, but (by virtue of the fact that you have
successfully wielded the computer technology necessary to carry
on this discourse) you are a few notches above the 'status quo'.
The sad truth of the matter is that there are those who assume
that because an establishment is "licensed", said establishment
is going to assume *ALL* the educational responsibility for the
child.
JH> Thanks, pal! I'll have to send for them both. Even though I may never
JH> use the technical one, I'd like to have it for reference. Do they
JH> charge for their catalogues?
$10-15, I think... I just rang them the other day to have a
price-list sent. They're apparently using the same catalogs
that they'd issued in '88(!)

A substantial improvement, if only to allow for more possibilities for

I wouldn't say that. Any size of ship that has adequate capacity to be
self-sufficient should do. It may even be possible that too big a
vessel could be a detriment, if that means having a large crew consuming
more power, edibles, etc.

Hi Mark... quite a while since I posted to you...
Anyway...
Have you by any chance read Harry Turtledove's "World War:" Saga?
(Three books so far, two in pb, and the third just out in hb.) It's a tale
of alien invasion in 1942, right when WW-2 was getting nice and hot. It's
a pretty good example of so-called superior aliens invading and ending up
like the dog that just bit someone on their wooden leg... and the peg-legged
