Dear Relatives, Friends and Associates in the World of Chess:

Heil Dubya!

Today is 8 October and I must appear in court on 15 October, so I am sending a
reminder to everyone in my AOL "Address Book", except the three persons who
were disturbed at the "impertinence" of my original message. I also am posting
this "letter" to a number of usenet bbses that I frequent. My purpose in this
is simple. In more than five decades of "questioning authority", I've found
that "authority" respects the "questioner" much more if (s)he has backing from
others. At one time, I was surprised by the influence that a few friendly
witnesses in court had on their "honors", the "justices". Now, I rely on it,
if I can.

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, AT 9:30 A. M., 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. (If anyone knows a lawyer who is willing to take
these cases on a pro bono basis, I would appreciate a contact.)

(“Dammittohell!� in my favorite exclamation of Nils’s Uncle Chris. The
15th of October is a Wednesday and I shall miss my date with S. S.)

Um, thanks for sharing., Jerry. Just a thought...when you want to fight the
system, why not get arrested for something worthwhile, like trying to stop
illegal dumping, or protesting unfair labor practices, or demonstrating
anger against our foreign policy, paid for with your hard-earned tax
dollars?

Making a stink over 50 cents because you find the refund procedure moronic
sounds a little looney. Maybe you shouldn't have been arrested, but you do
need to examine your priorities.

TMB

Dear "Masked Bishop",

Heil Dubya!

Perhaps it is you who ought to examine your priorities.

In the first place, I spent a few hours on the line, this afternoon -- and
every Wednesday afternoon and early evening, except 10 September, since 3
September -- protesting the U. S. invasion of Iraq, by carrying a sign,
proclaiming, "U. S. INVADERS OUT OF IRAQ". Others, less direct than I, carry
such signs as "Leaders Lie, Soldiers Die", "Support Our Troops; Bring Them
Home"; "Honk for Truth"; etc. If you live in or near White Plains, join us at
the County Center. I may not be there next Wednesday, because of my court
"date", but I'll be there the following week.

I do not consider "illegal dumping" a great crime, when compared to others
committed by our rulers, but, even if I did, I have not come acros it in my
rounds. YOU are free to get arrested protesting this "something worthwhile".

I have protested unfair labor practices most recently by picketing -- and
stopping eating there, which I used to do a couple of times a month -- "Dave's"
restaurant on Central Avenue in White Plains. Although I consider the U. S.
"labor movement" corrupt and a puppet of U. S. capital, I DO support the
principled struggles of individual locals and shops and almost all struggles of
colonials within the U. S. "labor movement".

Who the hell are you to define for me -- or anyone else -- "something
worthwhile"? Many of your posts are ad hominem attacks and trolls -- too
often, against posters whom I consider "good guys", including me. When, if
ever, was the last time YOU were on a line, "demonstrating anger against 'our'
(quotation marks mine -- JB) foreign policy"? In short, shove your gratuitous
"advice" up your ass. My name is NOT Martin Luther King, Jr., Th. D. The ONLY
time I EVER was non-violent was on the picket line during the "Civil Rights
Movement" and the ONLY reason I was the MOST non-violent person on the line was
because I believed the Afro-American nation required me to be non violent. (If
one "pretends" to support a people, one must do what the people wish, not what
the ego wishes.)

Finally, YOU don't get the point. There are two reasons -- and only two
reasons -- why our rulers want us to carry -- and to show on demand --
"identification". Firstly, they want to make sure that everyone is where they
think (s)he should be, at all times. Secondly, a fascist society requires that
common, ordinary citizens jump through hoops periodically, as ordered; that is,
that common, ordinary citizens know their places at the bottom of the system.
I will not play their game, when I can avoid it.

I think you may be confusing me with Steve Martin.

He may object.

Dear Reader,
this is a good document from a psychopath. Look, President Bush is described as
another Hitler, the USA, as if it were another Nazi-Germany, in a later posting
below human beings are identified as 'bacilli' - a terminus the Nazis had
attached to the Jews. So, you have the complete universe of a psychopath.
Completely confused. One time he's warning against Nazism. Next time he's
showing his Anti-Semitism. Two extremes that don't fit together, if you know
what I mean.

The moment a clerk is asking for our psychopath's ID, which is the usual if a
passenger is asking even for a 50 cts. payback because of his unused tickets,
the ego-maniac takes possession of the window! This is a form of extortion. So
the authorities become involved.

All this because our psychopath saw the clerk as the imagined evil.

Hopefully Bibuld shows this message to the judge, so that the case can be
closed with the judge's order for further careful medicamentation.

After I had characterized Mr. Bibuld as a 'non-yet-adult' in a little
Sherzer&Polgar thread [in RGCM], not knowing this street-fighting man's
difficulties and
/ or records, I hereby apologize and correct it to 'already-had-been-adult'.

With one important caveat. Even the world of our Western democracies and
societies is often so 'kafkaesk' that often our ethically best human beings
get damaged in the long run. A good judge will always consider this.
