		<description>Careful bill, if you mix the Shire clubberie with the velvet dog paintings, you may be labelled a LaRouchey. My advice would be to call Ian&#039;s show and get approval first. Of course this could be a new trend. Good luck! I hope you get permission and full credit for the contribution. You are an activist!</description>

		<description>Thanks for the tip Bil, but I hear that the BP gas station in Athol will be selling velvet Elvis paintings for $12, and the frames are reversible. This way when guests come over you can flip the Shire Society side to the wall and display a nice Elvis. This will reduce embarrassment. Hope this helps.

Just remembered that not everyone likes Elvis. I understand that they also have a large selection of tigers. The whiskers are so realistic, you can almost touch them!</description>

		<description>Proper size frames are availlable at the Shire Framery,in Keene,for only 17 dollars.They are very nicely made using recycled materials,including the glass.For another 3 bucks,you can get it matted on acid-free paper.   ---bil</description>

		<description>This Shire compact is more lame than I thought. See:
http://forum.freekeene.com/index.php?topic=3502.0

The &quot;Women Haters&quot; and the &quot;Women&quot; are at each others throats. Good thing the consequences are meaningless, otherwise physical violence might break out.

This situation cries out for Trial by Ordeal for arbitration of the plagiarism controversy. I don&#039;t think the voluntarist have rejected this yet, and Ian might find the arbitrary nature to his liking. After all, Trial by Ordeal has the advantage of simplicity.

This episode is a most pitiful showing. 

P.S. Why use nonstandard paper size for the document. Family Dollar does not sell oddball frame sizes.</description>

		<description>Paul-you beat me to it-I was just looking up that quote!LOL Tolkien was greatly influenced by current affairs,and parrellels between his work and the goings-on in Europe are easy to see,from the small changes people accept,to the &#039;crusade&#039; against the &#039;dark forces&#039;.It wasn&#039;t just a story about strange creatures and made-up worlds.   ---bil</description>

		<description>Lol :)

Actually, it&#039;s funny you say that.

&lt;blockquote&gt;
My political opinions lean more and more to Anarchy (philosophically understood, meaning abolition of control not whiskered men with bombs) - or to ..unconstitutional&#039; Monarchy ... If we could get back to personal names, it would do a lot of good. Government is an abstract noun meaning the art and the process of governing and it should be an offense to write it with a capital G or so as to refer to people. If people were in the habit of referring to &#039;King George&#039;s council, Winston and his gang&#039;, it would do a long way to clearing thought, and reducing the frightful landslide into &quot;Theyocracy&quot;. Anyway, the proper study of Man is anything but Man, and the most improper job of any man ... is bossing other men.
&lt;/blockquote&gt;

		<description>Never saw Lord of the Rings. 


They&#039;re just a parable for fascist/statist worship of supreme overlords who want to use unexplainable powers to control us.
