Trimming off the rest of this post is unnecessary.
I will guarantee anonymity except in cases of blatant abuse.
I will achieve anonymity by tallying the results in
uncorrelated tabulations and then deleting the emails.
(I know this loses interesting correlation data, but if
resondents want anonymity it's hard to avoid.)
I know that this anonymity promise depends on trust and that
you have no particular reason to trust me. Someday, I hope.
I will post results Saturday.

across the far
ridge of the Earth in what must have been the Western
world, the Western world into which we had so extensively
traveled in the astral. Higher we went and then we could
see the outlines of the oceans and continents in the sunlit
part of the world. From our height the world now looked
like a crescent moon, but with the Aurora Borealis, or
Northern Lights, flashing across the poles.
We moved on and on, faster and faster, until we out-
stripped the speed of light for we were disembodied spirits,
soaring ever onwards, approaching almost the speed of
thought. As I looked ahead of me I saw a planet, huge and
menacing and red, straight in front of me. We were falling
towards it at a speed impossible to calculate. Although I had
had much experience of astral traveling I felt pangs of
alarm. The astral form of the Lama Mingyar Dondup
chuckled telepathically and said, "Oh Lobsang, if we were
to hit that planet it would not hurt them or us. We should
go straight through it, there would be no bar."
At last we found ourselves floating above a red, desolate
world; red rocks, red sand in a tideless red sea. As we sank
down towards the surface of this world we saw strange
creatures like huge crabs moving lethargically along the
water's edge. We stood upon that red rock shore and
looked upon the water, tideless, deadly, with red scum
upon it, stinking scum. As we watched, the turbid surface
rippled unwillingly, and rippled again, and a strange un-

earthly creature emerged, a creature also red, heavily
armored, and with remarkable joints. It groaned as if
tired and dispirited, and reaching the red sand, it flopped
down by the side of the tideless s

11. All parts of his/her body contain VRL-1 nerve-endings -- in which
those VRL-1 functions as thermal pain receptors -- should be scorched
with smokeless, charless, sootless, ashless, emberless, non-toxic,
clean, non-polluting, orangish-yellow oxyacetylene flames until his/
her body is completely dehydrated from the flame's heat.** [See notes
on VRL-1 nerves]

The flame burn injuries will cause severe dehydration and loss of
blood volume by heating up the skin's water and causing it to
evaporate. Shock sets in as the blood continues to thicken. After 2
immeasurably-long hellish hours the hipcrime scumslime will most
likely die. The sick f--k will be in SO much pain and distress yet
totally unable to express any hint of it; not even a single tear drop
will be shed from his/her eyes. Such cold-hearts deserve such fates.
It's called "eye for an eye."
