Hi
Welcome to my site. I'm just an average citizen, living in Bangor, Maine. I have a computer, I have internet access, I have views, so I have
a web site. Remember though, this is a personal site. The views expressed are mine, and are neither endorsed, nor paid for, by any
other entity. In addition, ":mine" means just that, "mine." If you feel the need to send hate mail, then send it
to me. Leave Karen out of it.
I don't necessarily have personal commentary up here every day. If you are looking for that, bartcop, AmPol and Bush
Watch are excellent sources, and you'll find a link to each of them in the bar on the right. With that said, even if this welcome page does not appear
to have changed since the last time you visited, there are likely to be many updates inside.
Now, a bit about the site. If you've made it this far, you've actually experienced
the worst. Contrary to what all the style manuals state, my welcome page is the busiest page on my site, with
animated gifs, tables within tables within tables, and all
manner of other strange stuff. Once you leave the welcome page, the sailing will be a little smoother, since the basic navigation graphics
are consistent throughout the site, and will already be in your cache. The site is pretty much javascript free, although there is a little in the Library,
until I modify it to follow the pattern of the other areas, and a little in my "AliBoom Annex" area. While you really should have
a horizontal resolution of 1024 pixels to see the whole page, the actual meat of each page should be visible at 640 pixels without any
horizontal scrolling. All pages and their associated graphics are generated by hand, using various Linux and Atari text editors and
graphics programs. I have personally tested all pages using MSIE, Netscape, Opera, Amaya, KFM, Lynx, CAB and TLoA on Windows,
Linux and Atari machines. Any of my personal comments or graphics are available for use on like minded sites. I would, however,
appreciate a link to this site if you use my material. Thanks for taking the time to read this boring notice... ...Now, on with the
show - Terry

Yeah... Right...
I receive letters telling me to "emulate my hero, Gore" (Here's a suggestion people, how about actually reading what
you're complaining about - the area isn't named "Love & Admire Gore," it's named "Fear Bush") - telling me to "...cut the devisive crap." Devisive? Tell me, oh
eminently fair-minded letter writers, if you consider the things I've written
to be devisive, then what are statements like this:
"AlWhore is an anti-American swine who is a vicious scumbag who defended
the subhuman Slick. I want his suffering to be legendary - enough to shock a
Nazi prison guard."
"The thing to remember is that suffering for the liberals is just another photo op,
all the while they are planning how they can screw you and make YOU look bad afterwards!
f8ck bi-partisanship! Scr*w power sharing! Co-chairmanships? Kiss my *ss!"
"I only want them to feel like the, scumbag, hippocritic, atheistic, elitist-nhylists, corrupt socialistic, sore-losermen, low-life,
thiefing faggot pigs they are.
"
(copied directly from online sources)
So I get these letters from people advising me that Bush won the election
fair and square, and that I should be all nicey-nice, for the good of the
country.
Where were all of these paragons of perturbed patriotism, these caterwauling champions
of civic civility while their
party was going crazy? Where were they when Republicans twice shut down the
United States government? Where were they while Rush Limbaugh and the
Republicans tried to stick everything short of the massacre of the Seventh
Cavalry on President Clinton? Where were they when the Republicans decided
that even after having spent years, tens of millions of dollars and an obscene
amount of federal personnel resources without finding any evidence of
corruption, they were still going to get the man that defeated Bush, and
started sticking their noses into the President's pants?
Where were they while Republicans were tarnishing the reputation of Gore,
to get the least qualified person the GOP has put up for president in more
than fifty years elected? Gore never claimed
to have invented the internet (although he was instrumental in the expansion),
and they knew it. Gore was the basis of the
male lead in Love Story (even though he never claimed to be, he was commenting
on a newspaper article he had read that said such), and they knew it and they
know Erich Segal confirmed it. Hundreds of other instances come to
mind but I'm not going to get into them right here.
Devisive? Yeah, ok, I'm
devisive. I intend to remain devisive. I intend to continually stoke my
anger, and the anger of anyone else that I possibly can, at the theft of the
Presidency of the United States of America. Al Gore won this election. Al
Gore won nationally by over 540,000 votes. Independent counts have shown that
Al Gore won Flordia - he now leads GW Bush by 140 votes, with only one county
checked.
Bush - the lying, alcoholic, drunk-driving, cocaine-using, AWOL for
two years, draft-dodging (Yeah, he did serve in that rich-boy with privileges
wing of the National Guard... that's where he went AWOL from.... it's still a
form of draft-dodging. And tell me, why is it that in your letters to me you
insult me as Un-American, constantly stating that I have no respect for the men
and women who have served this country - but when I advise you that I was in
the military for fifteen years, suddenly, I, alone amidst the thronging multitudes, wasn't "serving my country" I was
"serving myself"????), failed in every business he ever tried to run on his
own (must get tiring, constantly being bailed out by Daddies friends....),
"I trust the people, not the Government" but I'm gonna run to the state and
federal courts to ensure that the people's votes aren't counted, "I favor
local control" except when it might cost me the Presidency that my Daddy, his
CIA buddies, my little brother, Karen Hughes and Katherine Harris, Delay's
hired thugs and big business bought me for Christmas, let's just put Daddy's
administration right back in, it's been eight years since Americans fired them
- I'm sure they've forgotten by now - and I'll top it off by putting a
pro-pollution Whitman in the EPA and putting racist Ashcroft in as the nation's top
cop, illegitimate pretender to the presidency of the United States.
Devisive? I plead guilty, with pride. And I will remain devisive, until this
abomination is out of the office that he has usurped.

E. B. White
E.B. White (1899-1985) wrote this essay and published it in
Harper's magazine in July 1940. It seemed appropriate to put his
essay up in reaction to some of the tactics being used by the Bush camp, and
how many American's are simply ignoring them. If the name sounds familiar, but
you can't quite place it, E. B. White was the co-author, (with William Strunk,
Jr.) and reviser of The Elements of Style. He also wrote the
children's classics Stuart Little and Charlotte's Web.
More in the Fear Bush area....
Hello from Bangor,
Maine, USA!
My name is Terry. I work for the
University of Maine in Orono. (Actually, as of the 17th, this
is no longer valid; I gave my notice and that was my last day - I just
haven't moved this info into The Library yet) I'm basically, a "peon,
third class" (way too many years in the Coast Guard, apparently....)
Some of the things I work on at the University are: -
Mariner
- which is a gateway to electronic resources available to patrons of the
participating libraries.
-
URSUS
- the shared catalog of the University of Maine System, Bangor Public Library,
the Maine State Library, and the Maine Law and Legislative Reference Library.
I also help maintain the telnet version
(login as: "library")
-
Maine
Statewide Databases - Electronic databases and resources available
free of charge to residents of Maine, with support from the Maine State
Library, University of Maine System Libraries, and the Maine Technical
College System Libraries.
-
Miscellaneous secretarial duties.
-
Freelance, hands-on, interactive research
on various and sundry creative methods of making my boss apoplectic
I, along with Karen, Alinak and Boomer, would
like to invite you to explore our sites. You'll find genealogy information
and photographs on the Ross, Helton, Yearwood, and Lambott familes on Karen's
site. Here, I'll cover:
-
Atari computers (400/800 through the ST, TT,
Falcon and Atari Transputer Workstation) will be covered in the Atari
Reference Desk.
-
Boomer & Alinak - Our boys - Mighty Hunters
and nemesis of dog biscuits everywhere! This can be found, oddly
enough, in the section titled the Doghouse.
-
Things that interest us. Links, local
interest (Bangor & Maine), documents I've put together or swiped
(UN Universal Declaration of Human Rights, Linux and other FAQs and How-To's,
etc.) can be found in (I never claimed to be particularly original) The
Library.

The wild.STAR
Project is an awards system honoring members of the Atari community.
