Re: do we need any arabeyes ?

Now I know I love you guys - I haven't checked my email for 
two days, I just figured I'd get flamed for being too 
passionate...  seriously, I have been denounced by just 
about every "peace" group in town, the Arabic department 
thinks my plans are too technical, they wanted to translate 
poetry to bring our worlds together. the "food not bombs" 
group, run by an iranian chick, suggested that I was 
"helping terrorists get biotech" and "had better watch out" 
- that belief was seconded by several other groups on 
campus and around town.  I must be on the right track to 
have pissed off these cowards.  That is what they are. 
Cowards, scared to do anything but protest.  That's what 
they love to do, protest this and that, but take no action. 
So for the time being the Rad Lab and aladigital.net is 
just me.  I'm keeping up my end of the bargain though. 
This laptop complete with some enormous databases will head 
out of here in approx 5 months (I need the time to get it 
right) aided by the only other dude who trusts me, dr 
Robert Kretsinger 
http://www.virginia.edu/biology/Fac/Kretsinger.html the man 
is a brilliant protein synthesis expert and a master 
sculptor.  He has promised to get the laptop and cd's etc 
to Paris when he leaves in October.  glad you guys are all 
on the same page, and yeah, I think at a time like this a 
little reflection outside our respective boxes is 
appropriate, let's face it, this is a turning point in 
history. I am continuing my public relations campaign, for 
what it is worth any online submissions on my website will 
help me in convincing the public that this is an effort 
supported by real Arabs.  It is one drawback to being a big 
white guy, no one thinks for a minute that I could ever 
know or care about anything besides getting oil into my 
back yard >%! (fyi: I don't drive).
