This is hardly limited to Southeast Asia.  Or might you be a bit more specific
about the geography and/or politics?

>Lords Of Chaos ... work your magick once again...

Reminds me of a story ...

An architect, a doctor, a lawyer, and a politician were all relaxing at an outing
one day, when the subject came up about which of their professions was the 
oldest.

Waxing Biblical, the doctor said, "It's obvious.  Medicine is.  According to
the story in Genesis, the Lord removed one of Adam's ribs to form Eve.  That's
clearly a surgical procedure, and that's at the start of the human race."

The architect said, "If that's the way you want to argue it, then medicine 
clearly isn't the oldest.  For the Lord made the Garden of Eden for the animals,
and ultimately Adam, to live in.  Landscaping clearly falls in the realm of
architecture.  And that preceded your `surgical' example."

The lawyer shook his head.  "According to that line of reasoning, the legal
profession is older.  At the beginning, the Lord created order out of chaos, and
that clearly is what Law does."

And the politician just laughed.

When asked why he was laughing, the politician answered, "Who do you suppose
created all the chaos?"

    Considering that the world has more or less been in conflict for the
    whole of my life, and looks like continuing this way as long as there
    are more than two humans on it, may one inquire what was the specific
    incident that brought this to Mary's attention?

    I wish I knew what this topic was all about.

    	Yes, pardon my ignorance but what is this base note about?????

    I know that the atlas I have at the office is not a very big one, well
    when compared to the one I keep at home. This may be the reason that I
    cannot find anything out about the location of Dienbienphu. Perhaps
    someone could enlighten me as to its location.

    Jamie.

Re .6 (Laurie) and .7 (Mike):

    
    	>Yes, pardon my ignorance but what is this base note about?????
 
It's about 15 lines long. :-D

Re .8 (Jamie):

Normally spelled Dien Bien Phu, it's located in noethwest Vietnam, near the
Laotian border.

    re: .9 (Steve) .8 (Jamie)
    
         I don't pretend to know what this note is about...
         on Dien Bien Phu, however, it's the place you might remember,
    Jamie (you're old enough  ;-)  ) where in the late 50's and early
    60's we'd hear about Buddhist monks self-imolating (setting themselves
    on fire.)  It was a part of Vietnam always in the news, whether by
    the French or early-U.S.

    As three words it does ring a bell as a single word it did not.

    Well I expect that the United Nations will tell them to stop and that
    will be the end of it.

    Back in school, I wore a POW bracelet with the name S.Sgt. Steven Adams
    on it.  The last time I was at the Wall in D.C., he was still a
    POW/MIA.  It was a couple of years ago.  He was listed as missing very
    early in the war - early '60's.
    
    If anyone hears anything about him, please let me know.

I'm sure all the faithful applaud the subtle way you worked the FIRST CLAUSE

Re: .-1, and speaking of angels

>     Angels live in the world of men... live among them in jungle huts and

check out a film called "Les Ailes du D�sir" ("Wings of Desire" in English?)
by Wim Wenders. An interesting look at the human condition from
the point of view of angels.

    John,
    
    Is this a new film?  Is it available on video?  I'd be very interested
    in seeing it!

No, it's not new and I should think that films by
someone of the calibre of Wim Wenders must be easy
to find on video. And yes, definitely worth seeing.
(Also has Peter 'Columbo' Falk playing an interesting
side role).

I'll look up the date if I can remember.

	Are you sure it isn't a woman who's "catatonic or something" ?

    Just because your beliefs don't match someone else's is no reason to be
    viciously insulting. There is no excuse for those kind of comments. I
    am apalled.

    re 'Wings Of Desire' - I really wanted to like it, but failed.  What a
    snore.  In the miscasting of the century, Peter Falk played... Peter
    Falk.  Liked the angel, though.

    Looks like the something is at work. The basenote has vanished!

    Jamie.

Re .30 (Jamie):

"Something" indeed.  More than just the basenote vanished.

    Re .33

    >I still don't know what the hell this topic was all about....
    
    Hands up anyone who does? The basenote in its present form makes as
    much sense to me as it did in its original one.

    Jamie.

Re .last_two:

The base noter was using an indirect stream-of-consciousness form of writing
to suggest that political prisoners (possibly MIAs) would be released soon,
probably at a news conference, in Cambodia, Laos, or Vietnam.

Steve Kallis, Jr.

    Thank you. It wasn't anywhere near as obvious as your note, which was
    concise and clear.
    
    What did happen to all those notes?
    
    Laurie.

Re .36 (Laurie):

They were deleted, presumably by the author.

    Thank goodness I thought some mysterious power was on the loose in here.

Re .38 (Jamie):

Great straight line, but with some difficulty, I'll abstain.
