The right honorable Trent hereby challenges Alvaen, he who was turned to
the the dark side and became a Canadian spy, to a duel.  Let all know that
such heinous perfidy as Alfvaen's shall not go unpunished.

Alfvaen, find your second!

I am Trent's second.

In these times of crisis, we need STRONG leadership.  IdiotBoy, Laa Laa, I
put the question to you: if elected, what will you do to staunch the tide
of blood-red Canadian agression, to stop the inevitable domino effect that
would result from any Ackan concession, and to oust the viperous traitor
Alfvaen?  For the love of Acka and its Ackans, I beg swift, just, and
ruthless response to this threat.  We live in trying times, and only a
decisive military leader should rule Acka.

I pseudofound an institution.  

It will be called the Anti-Canada Kamikaze Alliance (ACKA).  

Members of ACKA will stop at nothing to stave off the Canadians, and will
rather die free Ackans than live under the harsh oppression of Governor
General Romeo LeBlanc and Prime Minister Jean Chretien.  Loyal Ackans: I
urge... no... I _demand_ that you throw your might behind acka by joining
ACKA.  Together, as one, let us grind the Canadian armies to DUST.  Let
nothing remain of Canada but a smoking crater and a small portion of the
Yukon.  Let us build a monument to Acka's first President and Second
Speaker, Robert Sevin, out of the skulls of Canadians crushed by our mighty
wrath.  Present a united front.  Do not dismay.  The Canadians will soon
learn that we are not to be trifled with!

I have been watching with great interest the movements of Acka in the past
weeks, but I am about to change jobs and lose this e-mail address, so I must
regretfully leave Ackanomic.

I hope Ackanomic survives, and if it does, I might be back.

For now, if the postmaster would remove me from the mailing lists (or let me
know how to do it myself), I would appreciate it.

I nominate Fortunato for the hall of elders, and support the nomination,
or do whatever I have to to get him in, presuming the hall still exists
and hasn't been repealed whilst I wasn't looking.

This is a test.  This is not, however, a test of the Emergency Broadcast
System.

If you can see this message, then it looks like I managed to slip through
the anti-spam filters that seem to be keeping some people from sending

Funny, this is sort of what I tried to post last night when ackanomic.org
was bouncing my IP address, but I would've said it more like:

Would the presidential candidates respond with their views on the issue
of this unprovoked, pointless, and quite frankly dangerous declaration
of war on Canada?  I smell pumpkin in the air, and it doesn't smell any
better than last time.

I know that some of you are still waffling on this Canada issue.
You say to yourself, "Well, maybe those Canadians are dangerous.  I
mean, Alfvaen says they're not, but he could be lying.  And hey, there's
only one of him."

Let me remind you that if Ackanomic successively declares war on Canada,
there is nothing to stop it from then warring with, say, Australia.  Or
Israel.  We will become persecuted minorities, scapegoats, excuses for
the powers-that-be to war on those different from themselves!  Is this
the nomic you want to play in?

So vote NO! on 4178!  And 4180 while you're at it!  Or when they come
for you, there may be no one to speak for you.
