Robert A. Hayden expouses:
::
:: Why do shapceships make 'whoosh' sounds when they fly by?

They don't, the guys in the special effects labs make that noise
when spaceships fly by...

:: Why do wagonwheels go backwards

As a demonstration of the overall effect of the Manifest Destiny
syndrome that "spread" through a young united states?

:: Why does FASA ignore dwarves

They are saving the best for last.

:: Why do we really play this game?

Because I can't stand TSR productions and I was burned out GMing
Marvel Super Heroes/

:: Why can't americans make really good beer?

THEY CAN. We just had a brewery open here in West Lafayette that
makes its own Oatmeal Stout that is better than *any* import I
have ever tasted. In fact, anyone out there who wants to drop
by, I will buy the first round and let ya pass out in my guest
room. (This of course, only applies to folks outside the West
Lafayette area- ie it has to be a real road trip!)

:: Why is pot illegal

Because its enjoyed too much by the masses...

:: Why is sex illegal (in some states)

See above...

:: Why can't I turn off my mind....

Because if you could some large megacorporation would seize
control of turning on/off minds like the utility companies
that already exist and they would charge you a really huge
connection/disconneciton fee like Cable TV.
