Letters to the Editor
Dear Mr. Milam: Please accept my gratitude and appreciation for your ongoing generosity by sending me this most excellent publication "Frontiersman." As I'm sure your records may indicate, I was introduced to your writings by [name withheld] quite some time ago, and indirectly, many thanks go to him as well for his having forwarded my name to you for consideration. Sadly, I'm no longer able to converse (or write) [name withheld], as I have been transferred from [prison name withheld] c/o [prison name withheld]. Would you be so kind as to amend my mailing address as follows? [new address withheld] Once again sir, thank you for such an excellent paper and please accept all my best wishes to you for the future. a prisoner
Occasionally, a letter like this arrives and makes it seem like my efforts might actually be worth the trouble after all. editor
Thanks-- I think I recognised myself in that audio cassette article. Sir Donald
Dear friend, the winds of hypocrisy fly hard and fast in these turbulent times. I do believe it is time to destroy the IMF & Fed Reserve Banking System. Chaos is so everyday now that the elimination of the world's major FRAUDS and oppression can only begin to produce some semblance of rational life.... Anyway, same old shit & scare tactics on the talk shows. Not only should we DEFAULT, we should go even further & eliminate EVERY non-constitutional oops, (non-paid for ) program!! & let the chips fall where they may! a prisoner
Stray Thoughts Sam Aurelius Milam III Overkill You know that the diet craze is out of control when you see people buying diet water. Attitude The word civilization is generally misused and misunderstood. As is normal in the English language, the word has been burdened with a half-dozen or so extraneous and inappropriate meanings. Properly speaking, civilization isn't a synonym for society, even for technologically advanced society. Civilization isn't even an attribute of societies. It's an attribute of individuals. It's a process of enlightenment, a kind of behavior, an attitude. It's learning to be civil in relationships with other people. Of the various definitions provided in the dictionaries, the only idea that comes close to being appropriate is refinement of thought and manners, or good taste. Big Difference Insurance doesn't protect you from loss or injury. At best, it might reimburse the expenses of such loss or injury. That isn't the same thing as protection. Insurance only compensates for a loss or injury. Protection prevents it. Vacufoam3 Sam Aurelius Milam III Styrofoam is light and strong. The small, spherical cells that make up the material are filled with gas, presumably atmosphere, at or near ambient atmospheric pressure. Suppose that, instead, the cells were evacuated. That is, suppose that they were (if I may make such an outlandish statement) filled with vacuum.4 The small size and spherical shape of the cells would provide vacufoam with sufficient structural strength to resist crushing at atmospheric pressure. The best part of the idea is that the stuff would be buoyant in atmosphere. The number of possible uses for vacufoam are limited only by our imaginations. Airplanes would be lighter if all of the insulation and light duty internal structural things were made of vacufoam. Stadium roofs wouldn't collapse if they were made of vacufoam. Imagine houses made of the stuff, floating in the atmosphere. It would be a wonder for a person's home to drift on the wind, borderless, anywhere around the world. Imagine the freedom. Imagine the headaches for the flight controllers and the customs thugs. I already like the idea. Vacufoam would probably be easy to make in orbit, on the Moon, or on an asteroid. It would be the beginning of a whole new space industry. Of course, you'd have to ballast the stuff to get it to the surface of the Earth. That could be an new auxiliary industry using vacufoam to deliver heavy resources gently to the ground, from space.
