I am looking for positive motivated people that want and need to make a minimum of 10k per month. Do you have a burning desire to change the quality of your existing life? Would you like to live the life that others only dream about? If you think this is to good to be true or are skeptical then this may not be for you... Many have been conditioned to believe it must be illegal, immoral or unethical to ever earn any real profits from our efforts. The fact is we have many people in our enterprise that earn over 50k per month from the privacy of their own home and are retiring in 2-3 years obviously wealthy and having total freedom both personal and financial. How would you like to: 1. Drastically reduce personal, business and capital gains taxes? 2. Protect all assets from any form of seizure, liens, or judgments? 3. Create a six figure income every 4 months? How about: 1. Restoring and preserving complete personal and financial privacy? 2. Create and amass personal wealth, multiply it and protect it? 3. Realize a 3 to 6 times greater returns on your money? 4. Legally make yourself and your assets completely judgment-proof, seizure-proof, lien-proof, divorce-proof, attorney-proof, IRS-proof, and become completely insulated? Are you a BIG thinker, BIG dreamer and a person that believes they deserve to have the best in life? Are you capable of recognizing that once in a lifetime opportunity when it's looking right at you? Countless others have missed their shot at the title only to look back years later and wished they should've because they could've. If you are serious about changing your life...

NAILS & SCARS http://www.nailsandscars.com Dear Internet user: Greetings! You think Napster is turning heads? How long has the giant music industry controlled What you hear on the radio? Do you think they fix prices of music? (See link to article at our website nailsandscars.com http://www.nailsandscars.com/ ) Have you ever wanted to be a part of history? Please take a minute and read this, and you could be exactly that! You're asking yourself What's this about? I will get right to the point. My name is Dennis Rotary, guitar player for a brand new band called Nails & Scars. Our band is new in name only though. We've been working on a recording for the last four years. Our desire is to have the fastest growing, biggest selling recording from an independent band in the history of music. Quite a lofty goal huh? Maybe, but with 32 years of guitar playing, and 25 years of sales and marketing, I believe that when you hear this you will buy it. Mike Rimmer is a European music critic and he said the quote below as well as our CD is ONE WORTH CHECKING OUT Read his whole review on our site. You can be a part of a movement to voice what is on the radio, and what a good price for a CD should be. The music industry is rapidly changing, and you can be a part of history in that. They have had quite a control on what is aired and the image they want to market to you. You really haven't had much of a say. Think about it. They choose the artist and spend millions of dollars on image, display them in front of you, then play their songs 25 times a day, until you are used to them. I'm not saying the artists are all bad, just it wasn't your choice. And that type of marketing ends up costing you more of your hard earned money. Here's an excerpt from a very recent review of the first CD from the new band: NAILS & SCARS http://www.nailsandscars.com “Boys you HAVE to do more of this stuff! Music like this will always find an audience and so never falls out of fashion. ~Mike Rimmer - Mike Rimmer -Assistant Editor of Crossrhythms magazine, produces and presents a daily radio programme on Europe wide Crossrhythms He manages CMBC Media Productions and freelances on a number of media projects including working for leading British label and publisher Word UK Crossrhythms itself reviews 200 albums an issue. WELL NOW YOU CAN CHOOSE! Be a part of History!!!! HOW? 1. Go to nailsandscars.com http://www.nailsandscars.com and listen to our samples.

SAMPLE MESSAGE ------------cut here---------------------------------------------- To the FCC Commissioners Ladies and Gentlemen: The internet is in crisis. Your decision will either save it or guarantee its destruction as a form a communication for the average citizen. The internet was designed as a form of communication, not as a tool of commercial concerns to sell "content" to their subscribers. But to communicate on the internet, first you must get access to the internet. You are considering a merger between to two most powerful gatekeepers to the internet. The question is, will I be able to enter through that gate? And, once there, may I voice my concerns on important social, political, and even commercial concerns, or will I be summarily banned because the gatekeeper doesn't approve of what I say? The rules of AOL and Time Warner are extremely clear; if they do not approve my speech, I cannot speak. I am not allowed on the internet unless I defer to their opinion, not voice mine. And, if I decide to use the internet to send data, rather than merely purchase "content" from Time Warner and AOL, I am again summarily speed capped or banned from the internet. Their Acceptable Use policy states: IF TIME WARNER DETERMINES THAT THE SUBSCRIBER HAS FAILED TO COMPLY WITH THE SERVICE'S STANDARDS OF CONDUCT OR LIMITS ON BANDWIDTH UTILIZATION, TIME WARNER MAY SUSPEND SUBSCRIBER'S ACCOUNT. TIME WARNER COMMUNICATIONS SHALL HAVE THE SOLE AND UNREVIEWABLE RIGHT TO DETERMINE WHETHER CONTENT VIOLATES THESE STANDARDS. Why does Time Warner have the SOLE AND UNREVIEWABLE RIGHT TO DETERMINE WHETHER CONTENT VIOLATES THEIR STANDARDS? Why can't I post comment based on MY standards, not theirs? And, when I purchase UNLIMITED SERVICE, why can they then establish bandwith limitations? Is this unlimited service? Is not a company required to deliver what the customer pays for? I regularly correspond with users from many foreign countries. Their ISP's cannot control their speech. Why does not an American citizen have at least the same freedom of speech as do the citizens of foreign countries? We taught them the value and power of freedom of speech. Must they now teach us how to avoid its death at the hands of commercial mega-corporations concerned only with their sale of "content?" If AOL and Time Warner are allowed to take over the responsibility of deciding who can say what to whom, how will you return the internet to its stated purpose of a media of public discourse? How will you put the genie back in the bottle? How will you explain to me why my viewpoint is so offensive that I must be barred from the internet? I sincerely entreat you to consider me, and all other citizen users of the internet. Please, when you make your decision, insure that I can continue to use the internet, and specifically that high speed access will not be denied to me based upon the quantity or content of my speech. Thank You for your attention. ----> YOUR NAME <---- gijvcjuhxpzbquuqgzdypffewbwop From owner-rapd@hgmp.mrc.ac.uk Sat Oct 14 04:40:14 2000 Return-Path: Received: by mercury.hgmp.mrc.ac.uk (Postfix, from userid 110) id 7B45A17BBF; Sat, 14 Oct 2000 04:40:13 +0100 (BST) Received: by mercury.hgmp.mrc.ac.uk (Postfix, from userid 6024) id 23C3F17BB6; Sat, 14 Oct 2000 04:40:10 +0100 (BST) Received: from niobium.hgmp.mrc.ac.uk (niobium [193.62.192.41]) by mercury.hgmp.mrc.ac.uk (Postfix) with ESMTP id 818CC415D5 for ; Sat, 14 Oct 2000 04:40:10 +0100 (BST) Received: (from news@localhost) by niobium.hgmp.mrc.ac.uk (8.9.3+Sun/8.8.8) id EAA29191 for rapd-list@hgmp.mrc.ac.uk; Sat, 14 Oct 2000 04:40:10 +0100 (BST) X-Authentication-Warning: niobium.hgmp.mrc.ac.uk: news set sender to using -f From: tnjtdb@aol.com X-Newsgroups: bionet.molbio.rapd Subject: Your Chance to SHOVE IT TO AOL and TIME WARNER!

SAMPLE MESSAGE ------------cut here---------------------------------------------- To the FCC Commissioners Ladies and Gentlemen: I am writing in response to the proposed merger of America Time Warner Communications. There are two elements in the proposal that greatly concern me. I would hope that the commissioners would carefully consider these in making their decisions. The development and evolution of the Internet is a study in how a system without artificial limits can exceed anyone's expectations. The "rules of the road" for the information superhighway, such as they are, have been agreed upon by community consensus and is a marvelous example of market forces at work. One of the guiding principles which has evolved within this community is the open and free exchange of information, much as there is within the academic environment that fostered the early years of the Internet. The internet has always subscribed to and operated under the guarantees of the First amendment to the Constitution, without regard for questioning whether this was a legal requirement. The proposed merger as set forth in proceeding # 00-30 will violate every principle of freedom of speech upon which the Internet has historically been based. Specifically, the combination of Time Warner and AOL will be powerful enough to establish the rules which everyone desiring high speed, and possibly any, access will be subject to, and those rules are truly alarming to those accustomed to freedom of the net. They state: IF TIME WARNER DETERMINES THAT THE SUBSCRIBER HAS FAILED TO COMPLY WITH THE SERVICE'S STANDARDS OF CONDUCT OR LIMITS ON BANDWIDTH UTILIZATION, TIME WARNER MAY SUSPEND SUBSCRIBER'S ACCOUNT. TIME WARNER COMMUNICATIONS SHALL HAVE THE SOLE AND UNREVIEWABLE RIGHT TO DETERMINE WHETHER CONTENT VIOLATES THESE STANDARDS. This language is quite frightening, given that it grants license to censor to a corporate entity not to the common good, but to bottom line economic forces. Our guarantees under the constitution were designed by its authors to be beyond those forces for good reason. They recognized that such a fundamental right to freedom could never be effectively overseen by a purely commercial, or even political, entity. I believe that the Commissioners would be well served to remember that example, and move to insure that access cannot be denied to the internet by the gatekeeper based on the content of the speech of the user. My second concern is related, although it could never have been foreseen by our founding fathers. Bandwidth is fundamental to the ability to communicate on the Internet. Here again, Time Warner Communication proposes to hold a noose around the available bandwidth, and, subject to their whim alone, choke off access to those they deem unacceptable. Certainly this commission cannot order how much bandwidth they supply to their customer. But this commission can and should insure that any company, as a condition of the privilege of merger, deliver to their customers what they promise. A company which advertises and sells unlimited access, then terminates those who use this access, while retaining what, to them is the most profitable base, those who do not use this access, is defrauding the public. I urge you, therefore, to consider these concerns in reaching your decision. The easy course will be to merely accede to the demands of the corporations. That, however, will require that someone eventually solve the problems that will inevitably result from that decision - and the person who must repair the damage may be you. Thank you for your attention to my concerns. ----> YOUR NAME <---- khrkqksgvduinklneiow From owner-rapd@hgmp.mrc.ac.uk Sat Oct 14 06:38:10 2000 Return-Path: Received: by mercury.hgmp.mrc.ac.uk (Postfix, from userid 110) id 48B1D17B2A; Sat, 14 Oct 2000 06:38:09 +0100 (BST) Received: by mercury.hgmp.mrc.ac.uk (Postfix, from userid 6024) id EC65317AB0; Sat, 14 Oct 2000 06:38:07 +0100 (BST) Received: from niobium.hgmp.mrc.ac.uk (niobium [193.62.192.41]) by mercury.hgmp.mrc.ac.uk (Postfix) with ESMTP id 1C8E9415D5 for ; Sat, 14 Oct 2000 06:38:07 +0100 (BST) Received: (from news@localhost) by niobium.hgmp.mrc.ac.uk (8.9.3+Sun/8.8.8) id GAA00669 for rapd-list@hgmp.mrc.ac.uk; Sat, 14 Oct 2000 06:38:06 +0100 (BST) X-Authentication-Warning: niobium.hgmp.mrc.ac.uk: news set sender to using -f From: sfqbyk@aol.com X-Newsgroups: bionet.molbio.rapd Subject: YOUR COMMENT IS NEEDED!

Your decision will either save it or guarantee its destruction as a form a communication for the average citizen. The internet was designed as a form of communication, not as a tool of commercial concerns to sell "content" to their subscribers. But to communicate on the internet, first you must get access to the internet. You are considering a merger between to two most powerful gatekeepers to the internet. The question is, will I be able to enter through that gate? And, once there, may I voice my concerns on important social, political, and even commercial concerns, or will I be summarily banned because the gatekeeper doesn't approve of what I say? The rules of AOL and Time Warner are extremely clear; if they do not approve my speech, I cannot speak. I am not allowed on the internet unless I defer to their opinion, not voice mine. And, if I decide to use the internet to send data, rather than merely purchase "content" from Time Warner and AOL, I am again summarily speed capped or banned from the internet. Their Acceptable Use policy states: IF TIME WARNER DETERMINES THAT THE SUBSCRIBER HAS FAILED TO COMPLY WITH THE SERVICE'S STANDARDS OF CONDUCT OR LIMITS ON BANDWIDTH UTILIZATION, TIME WARNER MAY SUSPEND SUBSCRIBER'S ACCOUNT. TIME WARNER COMMUNICATIONS SHALL HAVE THE SOLE AND UNREVIEWABLE RIGHT TO DETERMINE WHETHER CONTENT VIOLATES THESE STANDARDS. Why does Time Warner have the SOLE AND UNREVIEWABLE RIGHT TO DETERMINE WHETHER CONTENT VIOLATES THEIR STANDARDS? Why can't I post comment based on MY standards, not theirs? And, when I purchase UNLIMITED SERVICE, why can they then establish bandwith limitations? Is this unlimited service? Is not a company required to deliver what the customer pays for? I regularly correspond with users from many foreign countries. Their ISP's cannot control their speech. Why does not an American citizen have at least the same freedom of speech as do the citizens of foreign countries? We taught them the value and power of freedom of speech. Must they now teach us how to avoid its death at the hands of commercial mega-corporations concerned only with their sale of "content?" If AOL and Time Warner are allowed to take over the responsibility of deciding who can say what to whom, how will you return the internet to its stated purpose of a media of public discourse? How will you put the genie back in the bottle? How will you explain to me why my viewpoint is so offensive that I must be barred from the internet? I sincerely entreat you to consider me, and all other citizen users of the internet. Please, when you make your decision, insure that I can continue to use the internet, and specifically that high speed access will not be denied to me based upon the quantity or content of my speech. Thank You for your attention. ----> YOUR NAME <---- pjdbcmmytingshksf From owner-rapd@hgmp.mrc.ac.uk Tue Oct 17 00:43:04 2000 Return-Path: Received: by mercury.hgmp.mrc.ac.uk (Postfix, from userid 110) id B960117B20; Tue, 17 Oct 2000 00:43:03 +0100 (BST) Received: by mercury.hgmp.mrc.ac.uk (Postfix, from userid 6024) id 6DCDB17AF6; Tue, 17 Oct 2000 00:43:02 +0100 (BST) Received: from niobium.hgmp.mrc.ac.uk (niobium [193.62.192.41]) by mercury.hgmp.mrc.ac.uk (Postfix) with ESMTP id E13DB415D5 for ; Tue, 17 Oct 2000 00:43:01 +0100 (BST) Received: (from news@localhost) by niobium.hgmp.mrc.ac.uk (8.9.3+Sun/8.8.8) id AAA14114 for rapd-list@hgmp.mrc.ac.uk; Tue, 17 Oct 2000 00:43:01 +0100 (BST) X-Authentication-Warning: niobium.hgmp.mrc.ac.uk: news set sender to using -f From: Pharmacom@swipnet.se X-Newsgroups: bionet.molbio.rapd Subject: The Information You Requested.... #UCE Date: 17 Oct 2000 00:43:00 +0100 Organization: BIOSCI/MRC Human Genome Mapping Project Resource Centre Lines: 250 Message-ID: <200010162311.IAA06155@g01.clara.co.jp> Mime-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=unknown-8bit X-Trace: niobium.hgmp.mrc.ac.uk 971739780 14112 193.62.192.80 (16 Oct 2000 23:43:00 GMT) X-Complaints-To: news@net.bio.net X-Received: by mercury.hgmp.mrc.ac.uk (Postfix, from userid 6024) id AD01A17AF6; Tue, 17 Oct 2000 00:42:59 +0100 (BST) X-Received: from g01.clara.co.jp (g01.clara.co.jp [210.158.212.65]) by mercury.hgmp.mrc.ac.uk (Postfix) with ESMTP id 0CAEC415D5 for ; Tue, 17 Oct 2000 00:42:55 +0100 (BST) X-Received: from cookies5 (host-216-77-215-133.fll.bellsouth.net [216.77.215.133]) by g01.clara.co.jp (8.9.3+3.2W/8.8.8) with SMTP id IAA06155; Tue, 17 Oct 2000 08:11:45 +0900 X-To: Pharmacom@swipnet.se To: rapd@hgmp.mrc.ac.uk Sender: owner-rapd@hgmp.mrc.ac.uk Precedence: bulk Herbal Viagra- NO PRESCRIPTION, NO DOCTOR, LESS THAN $1/pill Herbal V: An Incredible All-Natural Natural Alternative to Viagra Herbal V is the All Natural Approach to Male Virility, Vitality and Pleasure.
