        This ASCII-file version of ShareDebate International
        was packaged by Applied Foresight, Inc. (AFI
        hereafter). Every AFI-packaged ASCII version of
        ShareDebate International is distributed in either an
        "-AV protected" ZIP file format or a SDN (Shareware
        Distributors Network) protected SDN file.
        
        "AV" is the authenticity verification feature provided
        to registered PKZIP users, which Applied Foresight,
        Inc., is.  If you are using the MS-DOS PKUNZIP.EXE
        program written by PKWARE Inc. and do not see the "-AV"
        message after every file is unzipped AND receive the
        message "Authentic files Verified! #JAA646 Applied
        Foresight Inc." when you unzip this file then do not
        trust it's integrity. If your version of PKUNZIP is not
        the PKWARE-authored program (for instance, you are
        running a non-MS-DOS version), then this message may
        not be displayed. (Note: version 2.04g of PKZIP was
        used to create this authentication message.)
        
        SDN is the major distributor of Shareware and
        Copyrighted Freeware and users who extract files from
        an SDN file with the current version of the archive
        utility ARJ, should see:

          Security Seal by the FileTest utility available at The
          SDN Project AuthorLine BBS 203-634-0370.
        
        (Note: prior to about May, 1993, SDN used PAK to
        archive its distributions and its authenticity message
        differs from the above.)
        
        Trust only genuine AFI-packaged archives ...  anything
        else may be just that: ANYTHING ELSE.

                        From the Editor's Desk:
        
             Hello again!  I had originally planned to focus on
        the actual legislation of the Clinton Health Act this
        issue, however it seems to be dead although some form
        of socialist plan might be passed and in many ways
        these Democrat-Congress-sponsored plans feature many of
        the Clinton's socialist features but in a more hidden
        manner.  For this reason, I am including two popular
        freeware files and one Policy Review Magazine Reprint
        on health care.
        
             This will be a very short intro column this issue;
        the magazine entries are interesting enough to stand by
        themselves.  I've included some great Libernet postings
        from the Internet -- don't think that I agree
        wholeheartedly with each article, but they're
        definitely interesting enough that we should widely
        know about them.  They sure beat much of what the
        popular media feeds you!
        
             Dan Druck, of the Council on Domestic Relations
        (CDR), has provided ShareDebate International with more
        interesting material.  In one item, he goes on a
        tangent on our alleged trade imbalance with Japan which
        is an area I disagree with him completely, but
        otherwise he brings to our attention the most alarming
        news I've read in eons--that Congress is considering a
        dual currency--one for foreigners and another for
        domestic consumption.  That nightmare is something
        previously only practices in statist mercantilist (such
        as used to be the case up to a year or so ago in India)
        or for communist countries.  We must defeat this bill!
        Read the first piece in the file CDR.TXT!
        
             Neil Schulman, a past contributor to ShareDebate
        International again contributes by granting written
        permission to reprint his now BBS famous file in
        defense of the 2nd amendment.  He has a book on the
        subject out now and one of his defenses of the second
        amendment appeared as a recent article in the National
        Review.  His book is Stopping Power: Why 70 Million
        Americans Own Guns Synapse/Centurion Books, 1994.
        
             As for my own ideas on gun control, I lean towards
        the NRA stance but I do recognize that there has to be
        limits to the types of guns owned--for when there are
        rifle-sized atomic bomb guns, I don't think anybody
        should be able to acquire them!  But I disagree with
        the liberal's current legislative proposals -- what
        I've read leads me to assess that more people will be
        killed not being able to defend themselves in time than
        will those be saved through the measures.  Let's put it
        this way, would you want to live in a town that
        outlawed all guns except for the police and criminals?
        I wouldn't!  Many of the accidents with guns could be
        minimized if we had laws mandating gun safety awareness
        knowledge (similar to driving license tests); if we
        required locked-gun lockers -- nothing big, just large
        enough to hold the gun -- to contain loaded guns in
        homes occupied by children for when the guns were not
        in use.  The locks could be digital so that in an
        emergency, one could get his loaded gun out in less
        than 3-4 seconds.
        
             Proceeding on, a paper of my own is included on
        how to privatize welfare and eliminate its tax-based
        funding through a double-value tax deduction.  I was
        asked by two Minnesota state legislators to write up
        this idea for legislative proposal analysis which it is
        undergoing now.  I met these two legislators at the
        1994 Minnesota GOP state convention where I was a
        seated delegate.  (I was an alternate but because of
        no-shows, I was able to be seated and eligible to
        vote.)
        
             I know you'll like this issue!

            Because this issue is quite long, the individual
        entries are not all collapsed into this file.  That way
        readers on non-MSDOS computers who don't have an ASCII
        file reader that can read in massively large files can
        read this issue -- all files are under 50KB apiece.
        Also all readers can quickly "jump" to the pieces that
        most interest them.  This makes printing out what
        interests a person most convenient and avoids wasting
        paper and time.  I hope you like this arrangement.
