Let's stop Asian hate. Equally bad as hate speech is hate sight. There
are too many hateful white people in this country. These racist,
blue-eyed devils need to be reigned in from their hateful glaring at
minorities.

We need stronger hate speech laws. If a white devil even looks at a
Asian suspiciously, that is hate speech disguised as hate sight! The
white devils should go to prison for their hateful glaring. We should
impose mandatory minimum sentences for blue-eyed devil staring and
glaring. Blue-eyed juvenile devils should be tried as adults for their
hateful secret evil thoughts when they glare at minorities.

Just the way white people look at minorities is a crime worthy of death.
But we are not bloodthirsty like the white devils. We just want justice,
so life imprisonment for hate sight will be a necessary, but merciful
punishment. The sooner we rid ourselves of the white menace the sooner
we can have justice.

USAsians will have happy thanksgivings when they can be thankful that
all the blue-eyed devils are eliminated from society once and for all.

I laughed at them. And said a few words to them. And then smiled. They
became gruntled and walked away.

I was asked by a science fiction convention, that since I talked about
the Amiga so much, would I like to show it off ?

So I put together a floppy of demo programs, the bouncing ball, a
juggler, etc.

Two people went over to look at the New Macintosh computer ! They ran
away, when they realized it was an Amiga computer. They looked like
they didn't want to be contaminated. They complained to someone who
assured them their mistake was not anyone's problem but their own.
