61 [lbo-talk] Wish I Was In Dixie (Re: The North's burden ofenlightening the South (was Re: The "NAFTA Superhighway" Urban Myth) -- rank: 1000

I'm from the South. When I moved to LA some 30 years ago I was astounded at what a segregated city it is. It still is.

I get sick of hearing about th ...

66 [lbo-talk] Stockhausen, and useless eaters -- rank: 1000

I'm not sure what you mean by "origin" but it arose out of the Nazi's hatred and disgust for disabled people -- not the supermen they thought they were. They were committing eugenicide after birth.

Listers, In the middle of a HOA dispute over water damage here. Due to an underhanded BOD things have gotten nasty.

I thought this was something only police could do or get thro a subpoena signed by a judge. Anyone know? And secondly, how would one go about trying to find out if one's phone has been bugged?

69 [lbo-talk] tracking our cash -- rank: 1000

Freedom to Fascism is being offered at KPFK as a fundraiser bonus as part of the Fight Fascism pack. I just listened to a portion about how the federal reserve is going to set up the technological means to track any cash spent so that the anonymity of buying with cash will disappear. They will be able to follow each bill as to who has it where it gets spent. Anyone hear anything about this? Marta
