About the RPPS
The Rockaway Park
Philosophical Society was formed by three friends in 1971. Its mission is
to spead the true philosophy expressed in the Fullosia. The Society says
it exaults the mundane and ridicules the exalted in conformance with the
teachings of Rene Chateau Briand who scorned philosophers who prattle
about life but don't know how to act in a dime store." The Society
encourages and promotes American culure and a new national language
American Standard Jive. Read more about The Society

APRIL.... Baseball
The Rockaway Park Philosophical Society distinguishes Baseball as the American democratic art form... individuality and team spirit are balanced in a game of smarts... "You don't have to have meat behind you," said Roy Campanella, "You do have to use your brains." This is different from the corrupt blood sports of the vile and degenerate European tyrants.

Blood Money: Parlez-Vous?
Settlement of the little publicised "Blood Money" case was
derailed by an official of the Ottowa High Court who didn't like
the French language text. The settlement represents funds advanced by the Canadian government to citizens of the Canadian Federation infected by deadly Hepatitis C virus. President Clinton and other high US and Arkansas officials who sold
blood infected by the hepatitis C virus to the English speaking
Western Provinces of Canada have been sued in a fascinating case involving abstract issues of sovereign immunity and international tort jurisdiction. The corrupted blood was taken from Arkansas' death row inmates
and sold in violation of US FDA rules to unsuspecting Canadians.
Though much spoken of in the Canadian Federation, the case is little
covered in US papers. Sufferers confounded by the high court's delay
to await arrival of settlement proceeds say it little matters to dying
patients whether the historic accord is written in English or French
or a combination of the two.

No Way Out?
While retired wrestler Jessie Ventura bowed out of a Reform
Party politics, his former boss Vince McMann plans to bring
the shennanigans of pro-wrestling to American football in his new XFootball
league. The XFootball league slated to debut next year will bring
the fans in on the play and locker room. The Rockaway Park Philosophical
Society called McMann's adventure an 'interactive' version of football.
Hopefully Mcmann won't mess with the national passtime.

And The Beat Goes On
The on/off Northern Ireland Parliament has been put on hold pending further consultation
with its pupet-masters. Perhaps its seats could be assigned to Pikachu
and the Pokemon league? A commentator noted, "What do they need a Parliament for?
Did the bars close down?"

Bush's Klan Salute
US Presidential candidate George Bush Jr was caught in sheets and hoods as
he gave a salute to a fundamentalist college noted for its mail order
degrees. The salute cost Bush support of several important Congressmen.
Despite the college's plastic patriotism, its principal claim to
fame was its issuance for a fee of mail order divinity degrees to
draft-dodgers.
