Heil Dubya!
************************************************** ************************ ******************** In 17 days, I must appear in court, because I refused to supply "identification" when trying to exchange tickets at Grand Central Station. It's been a while since have seen comment on this outrageous attack on human rights, so I resubmit my account of the incident. (It may not be as exciting to those who love a "good" "sexual" issue, but I think it is as important to human rights as the recent attempt by the U. S. Government to frame Alex Sherzer, perhaps, a bit better known in the world of chess than am I.) ************************************************** ************************ ******************** When I was in the sixth grade, I had a teacher, Mrs. Wilson, who used to tell us how wonderful it was to live in the United States. Her favorite reason was that, while people had to carry identification at all times in other countries, we could walk the streets with no identification at all and, as long as we were peaceful, we were safe from governmental interference. Oh, well, tempus fugit. Infringement of Human Rights and False Arrest in Grand Central Station On Wednesday morning, 10 September, I went to New York, as I do almost every Wednesday, to coach S. S., a dear friend, in chess. This is one of the small pleasures of my life, particularly because my friend is 97 years old and keeps alive in me the hope that I shall be as vital as she, if and when I reach my 98th year. I planned to stop in Mount Vernon, on my way back, to visit another friend, so I purchased three tickets at the Metropolitan Transit Authority (MTA) station in White Plains, where I live: one from White Plains to Grand Central Terminal; one from Grand Central Terminal to Mount Vernon; and one from Mount Vernon to White Plains. The charges were $4.00 for the first ticket, $3.50 for the second ticket and $1.00 for the third ticket. (I am 75 years old, so pay reduced fares, as a "senior citizen".) As often is the case, I enjoyed myself so much at the home of S. S. that I left it much later than originally intended. I called my Mount Vernon friend, who found a late visit inconvenient, so we cancelled our appointment and arranged another date and time to meet. As the saying goes, "No problem." When I arrived at Grand Central Station, of course, I went to the ticket office to exchange my two tickets (GCT to MV and MV to W, as they were designated on the tickets) for a single ride to White Plains -- and a fifty cent refund. There, the clerk asked me for identification. "Why?" I asked. "Where is it written?" I don't remember the exact response, but I do remember that my questions were not answered. Instead, I was ordered to provide identification, if I wanted to exchange my two tickets for one ticket and a fifty cent refund. Those were the regulations, I was told, and they didn't have to show me where it was written. I refused to provide the ordered identification. The clerk told me to move on, if I wouldn't show identification. I refused to do this, too, so we were at a brief impasse. This didn't last long, because the clerk left her window to get a supervisor, who, when he arrived, supported the clerk's position that identification was required, because those were the regulations: no identification, no exchange of tickets and no refund. (He also ignored the question about "where was it written.") I refused again, so the supervisor repeated the injunction of the clerk: move on. When I stood my ground at the ticket window, he summoned the MTA police. I am of average size (five feet nine inches and 185 pounds), so only four members of the force showed up. They wore badge numbers 2273, 2337, 2461 and 2480. They tried to "reason" with me. Essentially, their points were that it wasn't worth my trouble to refuse to show identification over a fifty cent refund; that, were I to be arrested, it would be a terrible inconvenience for me and that I would be put in jail, probably overnight, with felons and other miscreants. (The former was their word, but I supply the latter.) Why not be a good boy (None of them was old enough to be, normally, my child; I believe all could have been my grandchildren.), show the identification and go home to White Plains. I think they did achieve one goal; they got me away from the ticket window. After a brief discussion, we went our separate ways and I returned to the ticket window where the quiet scene of five to ten minutes earlier was repeated. This time, when the MTA police were called, only two showed up. Apparently, they had met the enemy and decided that it was not imposing enough for four officers. This time, there was little discussion. I was arrested and brought to the MTA police station. It was an uncomfortable - but not frightening -- experience. What I disliked most was being handcuffed behind my back, with cuffs that were rather too tight (and left an impression on my skin, which I noticed when they were removed). In the police station, I was searched and had everything removed from my pockets. My money was removed from its wallet and, after being counted, was stuffed into my shirt pocket. Everything else was kept by the MTA police. I believe the arresting officer intended to keep all my medications, but I appealed to the sergeant on duty, who allowed me to have my nitroglycerine. I was told to remove my shoes, which they kept, and locked up. Despite having my identification, the arresting officer asked me several questions, to identify me, such as name, address and date of birth. The poor man was most annoyed. Here, he was, stuck arresting a 75-year-old eccentric, when, as he told me, he was needed for more important duties, like "the war on terrorists". ("You are taking us away from serious things, like 9-11" and other such words of opprobrium, which I tuned out, after the first sentence,) The sergeant who allowed me to keep my nitroglycerine, seemed to want to get rid of this nuisance, so he asked me if I would go home quietly -- not return to the ticket window -- if I received a ticket to White Plains and fifty cents. I told him, "Of course. That's what I wanted from the beginning." He told me he would see what he could do. About a half hour or a little more later, he returned with the ticket to White Plains, the fifty cents and a summons to answer a charge of "DISCON" at 314 W 54 St, Summons Part AR 6, on 15 October 2003. I plan to plead, "Not guilty", of course. I also plan to sue the MTA for infringement of my human rights and for false arrest.

Dear Mr. Kennedy,
Heil Dubya! Do you know me well enough to call me, "Jerry"? Or is it your cultured United Statesian arrogance? I don't remember you at all. As for the "krypto-nazi krap", I'll explain again what I have explained more than once before. In 1944, I enlisted in the U. S. Merchant Marine (I was too young for the Army), to fight fascism. In those days, a "good" German citizen would start all colloquies with "Heil Hitler!" (Hail Hitler!). I am a "good" U. S. citizen; I pay my taxes and am not a member of the underground -- nor have I tried to find one or organize one, blaming my age and poor health for my failure to act as a "good" human, rather than as a "good" United Statesian. So I begin all colloquies with, "Heil Dubya!" because "Dubya" is our fuhrer. In 1944, the Nazi government had a slogan, "Heute Deutschland. Morgen die ganze Welt!" (Today Germany. Tomorrow the entire world!) Our fascist leaders have gone beyond Uhmuhrikkka (a variation -- including the initials of the Ku Klux Klan, which is at the heart of our nation -- on the pronunciation of America by our fuhrer) to Afghanistan and Iraq, so I include those two countries in describing the current situation, while projecting a "good" U. S. citizen's actions toward the future. Then, the national anthem of Nazi Germany was "Deutschland, Deutschland uber Alles!" (Germany, Germany over all else!) I don't think I have to explain the second line of my usual closing further here. Finally and parenthetically, I ask those among my compatriots who may be able to think independently whether the attacks on the Twin Towers and Pentagon of 11 September 2001 -- which I have concluded were organized and implemented by our own "leaders" -- should be compared to Kristalnacht, which was perpetrated by the Nazi Party as the beginning of the formalized governmental attacks on the Jewish People by the Nazi German government or the date of the Reichstag fire -- also perpetrated by the Nazi Party government -- to use as an excuse to formally implement the fascist state, as we normally recognize it. As for the question of "Where is it written?" Of course, I wouldn't have provided identification, if shown where it was written. (I merely knew they wouldn't answer the question, because I have lived in the U. S. A. all my life and fought various beaurocracies for more than 65 years.) I would not show them identification, because one of the NECESSITIES of a fascist state is making common citizens jump through hoops and I believe I can get away without jumping though that particular hoop. If I get away with it and win a "federal case", it's possible that NONE OF US will have to jump through THAT hoop. To my mind it would be a blow, albeit a light blow, against our fascist rulers. If I don't get away with it, one of my minor boasts is that I'm one of the few persons who actually served (short) time during the "civil rights movement", because I treasonably objected to Jim Crow -- In New York, by the way, NOT Mississippi. (I hope they allow me to keep my nitroglycerine on my person.) I won't bother to comment on your asinine question concerning "a working guy", except to say that they "were only doing their duty". (I don't think you will understand that last clause, but I may be wrong.) Heil Dubya! Heute Uhmuhrikkka, Afghanistan und Irak. Morgen die ganze Welt! Uhmuhrikkka, Uhmuhrikkka uber Alles!

MR. Bilbuld,
Do you know me well enough to call me, "Jerry"? Do you mean have I met you? Or do you mean have I read your postings and writins? Or read about you? For years and years and years? Or is this just another trick question, like "where is it written"? I have no doubt you can do the "that depends on what 'is' means" thing better than MR. Clinton, so I don't know if I "know" you well enough to call you "Jerry." I will call you "MR. Bilbuld," as that seems to be the name you request, and I've always believed that people have a right to name themselves. Or is it your cultured United Statesian arrogance? MR. Bilbuld, do you know me well enough to call me that? Of course you don't. For all you know, I could be some Alabama Bureau of Investigation agent posing as a chessplayer. Yet that doesn't stop you, does it? Speaking of arrogance... By the way, you do get a no-prize for being the first person ever to refer to me as "cultured." Were more than a hadful of people reading these posts, you would find a large number of them - those who DO know me - ROTFLTAO. I would repeat myself and go into my belief that people have a right to name themselves -- but your pre-emptive use of "United Statesian" suggests that that would be a waste of keyboarding. You would arrogantly and with prejudice continue to refer to me as a "United Statesian." I don't remember you at all. That's ok, MR. Bilbuld. You wouldn't want to remember me. It's better that way, for both of us. Besides, you don't NEED to remember me. You ALREADY know, WITHOUT remembering, all you need or want to know about me. I begin all colloquies with, "Heil Dubya!" because "Dubya" is our fuhrer. And you call me, arrogant, MR. Bilbuld? For the record, I "post." Colloquy away, if you wish, though. Next world conflict, get closer to the action. Dubya may be a slow, manipulated rich kid who has brought his ineptitude from Texas to the national stage, but he is not anywhere near being like Hitler, the fuhrer. He is not the fuhrer of the U.S. He is not my fuhrer. Since you use "our" in yoru reference,I suppose it is only fair - how's that for lack of arrogance? - to let you claim him as YOUR fuhrer if you want to, though. In this country, you DO have the right to proclaim him as your fuhrer, and ought to continue to do so. In 1944, the Nazi government had a slogan, "Heute Deutschland. Morgen die ganze Welt!" (Today Germany. Tomorrow the entire world!) 1944. German. Gotcha, MR. Bilbuld. And today is? And we live where? Is this nostalgia, or what?? Our fascist leaders Not at all. Call 'em Republicrats. Call 'em idiots. Call 'em misguided fools or crooks. They're not facists. And, for the record, again, they're not MY "fascist leaders." Out of deference to your use of "our", I will again support your right to claim YOU have facist leaders. have gone beyond Uhmuhrikkka (a variation -- including the initials of the Ku Klux Klan, which is at the heart of our nation -- on the pronunciation of America by our fuhrer) Dream on. If you regularly salute a fuhrer, claim to be led by facists, why should I be surprised, MR. Bilbuld, if you claim the despicable KKK as the heart of YOUR - we've been through your use of "our" enough, I don't need to repeat myself on this one, do I - nation? to Afghanistan and Iraq, so I include those two countries in describing the current situation, while projecting a "good" U. S. citizen's actions toward the future. Shoot. I mean, do we have to go through that whole logical exercise again about what a "good" bomb is? I mean, is a "good" bomb one that blows up a whole lot of people and things? Or is a "good" bomb one that refuses to blow up, and thereby hurts nobody? Your use of " "good" " is tedious. Especially since I have not supported the occupation of Afghanistan, or Iraq; as well as the presence of U.S. troops in the Balkins and another 120 or so countries... Then, the national anthem of Nazi Germany was "Deutschland, Deutschland uber Alles!" (Germany, Germany over all else!) I don't think I have to explain the second line of my usual closing further here. I don't think you have to explain what your words mean, MR. Bilbuld. I am at a loss as to why they are so important to you, though. I mean, if I were to sign every posting of mine, "it's the quicker picker-upper," you would probably understand what I was referring to, but you might wonder why I was constantly repeating it. Or do I arrogantly impute too much, here? Finally and parenthetically, I ask those among my compatriots who may be able to think independently whether the attacks on the Twin Towers and Pentagon of 11 September 2001 -- which I have concluded were organized and implemented by our own "leaders" -- should be compared to Kristalnacht, which was perpetrated by the Nazi Party as the beginning of the formalized governmental attacks on the Jewish People by the Nazi German government or the date of the Reichstag fire -- also perpetrated by the Nazi Party government -- to use as an excuse to formally implement the fascist state, as we normally recognize it. Not WE, MR. Bilbuld. Etc. Your conclusion wavers between delusion and wish-fulfillment, it would appear. "Formalized governmental attacks." Oh! If only it were true!! My disagreement with you has nothing to do with lacking independent thought, mind you. I've thought it through, and argued it through with my comrades. Doesn't fly. As for the question of "Where is it written?" Of course, I wouldn't have provided identification, YEP. If I get away with it and win a "federal case", it's possible that NONE OF US will have to jump through THAT hoop. And I'M the arrogant one?? You were hassling a bunch of low-paid workers, MR. Bilbuld. In YOUR mind, perhaps, you were striking a blow for freedom, but when the folks came home and soaked their feet at night and kissed the kids goodnight, your were just another hassle in a worker's long day. To my mind it would be a blow, albeit a light blow, against our fascist rulers. If I don't get away with it, one of my minor boasts is that I'm one of the few persons who actually served (short) time during the "civil rights movement", because I treasonably objected to Jim Crow -- In New York, by the way, NOT Mississippi. (I hope they allow me to keep my nitroglycerine on my person.) ! I won't bother to comment on your asinine question concerning "a working guy", except to say that they "were only doing their duty". (I don't think you will understand that last clause, but I may be wrong.) Thanks for the non-comment, MR. Bilbuld. Putting up with your shenanigans, delusional as they were, was just an everyday thing for those working people. Ho-hum. They've already likely forgotten you, replaced by the next scofflaw. To compare their actions with those who followed the real fuhrer's orders - and to do it with a straight face as you did - is to reveal your true solidarity with the working people of the world. Or, whatever. Heil Dubya! Heute Uhmuhrikkka, Afghanistan und Irak. Morgen die ganze Welt! Uhmuhrikkka, Uhmuhrikkka uber Alles! (Was 11 September 2001 Kristalnacht or the date of the Reichstag fire?) Wow. It's enough to give up newsgroups. Think hard, MR. Bilbuld. Think very hard... You met me -- when? And when you meet me -- what do you want to do with me?? Rick |

... Heil Dubya! In 17 days, I must appear in court, because I refused to supply "identification" when trying to exchange tickets at Grand Central Station. Jerry, In the interests of accuracy, I think you should state exactly what the charge is on your citation. It isn't "refusal to show identification." I assume it is something more along the lines of disturbing the peace. Your case raises some interesting questions, albeit in a trivial setting. Despite what you might think, this does not rise to the level of Rosa Parks' refusal to do what she was ordered. (If you want to run a thought experiment to test the validity of my assertion, consider what the difference in effect would be between your winning your case as opposed Parks winning her case, had she gone to trial using a defense based on the 14th Amendment. Your win would not mean a direct step toward freedom or dignity for millions). The first hurdle you will have to clear is to show that there was government action involved in the MTA's refusal to give you a refund without ID. And the government action of the arresting officers will not be sufficient, it is the action of the clerk, an MTA employee, that is at issue. Is the MTA a government agency? Techinically, it is described as public-benefit corporation chartered by New York State. I can't say whether or not that makes it a government agency for right of privacy purposes. Assuming you are successful in showing that the MTA is a government actor, your real test still awaits you. Absent discrimination (does the MTA only ask for ID from overweight white chess photographers who are uninformed about distinctions between fascism on the one hand and misapplication of force on the other, or do they require it of all persons seeking refunds?) you are basically going to have to show that the MTA had no legitimate purpose in asking for ID, or no legitimate purpose that could not have been fulfilled by less intrusive means. And assuming the absence of discrimination, the MTA will have to make only the most minimal showing of legitimacy in order to undercut your defense. I note in passing that fascist regimes don't recognize the notion of citizens' rights to the extent that it is even concevable that a municipal court could find for a defendant on constitutional grounds. In the imperfect republic in which you reside, such a finding is conceivable. Anyway, good luck, I hope you win. And hope you can make it to the Norwalk Quads. Since the next Quads are coming up on October 11, you will have a chance to play before you have to serve your time in the pokey.

(Today Germany. Tomorrow the entire world!) 1944. German. Gotcha, MR. Bilbuld. And today is? And we live where? Is this nostalgia, or what?? Our fascist leaders Not at all. Call 'em Republicrats. Call 'em idiots. Call 'em misguided fools or crooks. They're not facists. And, for the record, again, they're not MY "fascist leaders." Out of deference to your use of "our", I will again support your right to claim YOU have facist leaders. have gone beyond Uhmuhrikkka (a variation -- including the initials of the Ku Klux Klan, which is at the heart of our nation -- on the pronunciation of America by our fuhrer) Dream on. If you regularly salute a fuhrer, claim to be led by facists, why should I be surprised, MR. Bilbuld, if you claim the despicable KKK as the heart of YOUR - we've been through your use of "our" enough, I don't need to repeat myself on this one, do I - nation? to Afghanistan and Iraq, so I include those two countries in describing the current situation, while projecting a "good" U. S. citizen's actions toward the future. Shoot. I mean, do we have to go through that whole logical exercise again about what a "good" bomb is? I mean, is a "good" bomb one that blows up a whole lot of people and things? Or is a "good" bomb one that refuses to blow up, and thereby hurts nobody? Your use of " "good" " is tedious. Especially since I have not supported the occupation of Afghanistan, or Iraq; as well as the presence of U.S. troops in the Balkins and another 120 or so countries... Then, the national anthem of Nazi Germany was "Deutschland, Deutschland uber Alles!" (Germany, Germany over all else!) I don't think I have to explain the second line of my usual closing further here. I don't think you have to explain what your words mean, MR. Bilbuld. I am at a loss as to why they are so important to you, though. I mean, if I were to sign every posting of mine, "it's the quicker picker-upper," you would probably understand what I was referring to, but you might wonder why I was constantly repeating it. Or do I arrogantly impute too much, here? Finally and parenthetically, I ask those among my compatriots who may be able to think independently whether the attacks on the Twin Towers and Pentagon of 11 September 2001 -- which I have concluded were organized and implemented by our own "leaders" -- should be compared to Kristalnacht, which was perpetrated by the Nazi Party as the beginning of the formalized governmental attacks on the Jewish People by the Nazi German government or the date of the Reichstag fire -- also perpetrated by the Nazi Party government -- to use as an excuse to formally implement the fascist state, as we normally recognize it. Not WE, MR. Bilbuld. Etc. Your conclusion wavers between delusion and wish-fulfillment, it would appear. "Formalized governmental attacks." Oh! If only it were true!! My disagreement with you has nothing to do with lacking independent thought, mind you. I've thought it through, and argued it through with my comrades. Doesn't fly. As for the question of "Where is it written?" Of course, I wouldn't have provided identification, YEP. If I get away with it and win a "federal case", it's possible that NONE OF US will have to jump through THAT hoop. And I'M the arrogant one?? You were hassling a bunch of low-paid workers, MR. Bilbuld. In YOUR mind, perhaps, you were striking a blow for freedom, but when the folks came home and soaked their feet at night and kissed the kids goodnight, your were just another hassle in a worker's long day. To my mind it would be a blow, albeit a light blow, against our fascist rulers. If I don't get away with it, one of my minor boasts is that I'm one of the few persons who actually served (short) time during the "civil rights movement", because I treasonably objected to Jim Crow -- In New York, by the way, NOT Mississippi. (I hope they allow me to keep my nitroglycerine on my person.) ! I won't bother to comment on your asinine question concerning "a working guy", except to say that they "were only doing their duty". (I don't think you will understand that last clause, but I may be wrong.) Thanks for the non-comment, MR. Bilbuld. Putting up with your shenanigans, delusional as they were, was just an everyday thing for those working people. Ho-hum. They've already likely forgotten you, replaced by the next scofflaw. To compare their actions with those who followed the real fuhrer's orders - and to do it with a straight face as you did - is to reveal your true solidarity with the working people of the world. Or, whatever. Heil Dubya! Heute Uhmuhrikkka, Afghanistan und Irak. Morgen die ganze Welt! Uhmuhrikkka, Uhmuhrikkka uber Alles! (Was 11 September 2001 Kristalnacht or the date of the Reichstag fire?) Wow. It's enough to give up newsgroups. Think hard, MR. Bilbuld. Think very hard... You met me -- when? And when you meet me -- what do you want to do with me?? Rick Welcome to RGCM, Rick. I like you already. ![]() Regards, Matt |

One has to wonder if appearing in court will be the end of it.
