Subject: Take a Stand wasRe: dive hydration
Tom,

I commend you for your courageous stance in the face of considerable opposition.
It takes a real man to take a stand. Deep air diving is a laudable goal worthy
of respect and admiration, as is the objective of the members of my association,
Drunk Operators  of America <DOA>.

We find no reason to recognize the biological imperative of evolution. Rather we
take the long view in that any change to the status quo will take decades, while
there are benefits to be reaped right now, and if you wait long those profits
will disappear.

Furthermore we feel confident that monolithic entities such as the BSAC and the
governments of the Soviet bloc< whose favorable support DOA already enjoys>
are
not going anywhere. They stand ready to support us in the utmost.

We at DOA stand ready to support you in our joint pursuit of global depopulation
and cemetary land management and in the by products of these worthy
endeavors<
such as used scuba gear sales and scrap auto salvage>. There are few who know
such as we do that there is no greater challange than than the simplest of tasks
especially when your reflexes are impaired. I hope to meet you soon, preferrably
inbetween the headlights of my car.

Sarcastically yours,

Al Marvelli

PS "It is" only because you allow it to be.   -ajm
