Saving the Rainforest
 
Remember The Hunger Site, which was featured several months ago?  There are more wonderful, ingenious people out there using the Internet in beautifully refreshing ways.  If you are an environmentalist, an earth-friendly wiccan, if you are passionate about the rainforest or if you are simply looking for a way to contribute, take a visit to The Hunger Site's sister-page The Rainforest Site.  Same concept-- click your mouse, view the ads for a second, and donate, with that click, almost twenty square feet of rainforest land.  The sponsers pay for it.
 
If every reader of this ezine visited the site just once today, that would equal over 634 square feet of land saved.  If every reader visited once per day for a week, that would equal 4435 square feet of rainforest.  Send the link to your friends.  The Rainforest Site.
 

 
How 'bout a crude joke?
Bet you'll read it twice!
 
A bus stops and two Italian men get on.  They sit down and engage in an animated conversation. T he lady sitting behind them ignores them at first, but her attention is galvanized when she hears one of the men say the following:
 
"Emma come first.  Den I come.  Den two asses come together. I come once-a-more.  Two asses, they come together again.  I come again and pee twice.  Then I come one lasta time."
 
"You foul-mouthed swine," retorted the lady idignantly.  "In this country we don't talk about our sex lives in public!"
 
"Hey, coola down lady," said the man. "Who talkin' abouta sexa?  I'm a justa tellin' my frienda how to spella 'Mississippi'."

Toy Gun Buy-Back Proposed in Annapolis, Maryland
 
Everyone's familiar with gun buy-back programs, in which police and/or community organizations buy back guns from the public, under the questionable assumption that this will somehow stop crime and gun accidents.
 
Well, Annapolis alderwoman Cynthia A. Carter has upped the ante.
 
She has proposed that the city start a program to buy back *toy guns.*
 
Yes - she wants the city to spend tax dollars and/or privately donated funds to buy back from kids such things as water pistols, cap guns, and other toy weapons.
 
She argues this will curb "violent behavior" among children. Carter also said she would eventually like to make all toy guns flat-out illegal.
 
The idea was so breathtakingly idiotic that it left Steve Dasbach, Libertarian Party National Director, unsure of how to respond to it.
