Frazier site is no longer going? I haven't been able to find anything, other
than Marvis's site, which deals more with Jacqui and Joe's
lawsuit.Parkinsonian ~symptoms~, ie those that are like Parkinson's
disease (but isn't) isn't that uncommon among fighters, but it's only a
coincidental similarity. Parkinson's, even in non-boxers, mimics the condition
caused by too many blows to the head. Ali just happened to be one of those in
whom the dopamine producing center of his brain was destroyed by the hammers of
Mars.Why either happens more in one fighter than another is one of those
many yet-to-be-solved mysteries by our doctors (spelled "G-O-D," by them
anyway).|

are not limiting this discussion to boxing any longer,I take exception to your
statment,"Yup,in the late 60's,Ali stood up for what he believed in,just like
Jane Fonda stood up for what she believed in.Do you not believe that communism
during the sixties and seventies was a threat to our way of life?I always
thought,if we go on with the Ali myth of him being a social hero,we would get to
the green dream,Vietnam.Ali was exploited by his fringe,extremist religios
group.Ali was not concerned with ,nor did he understand,the political
ramifications of his actions.If you really beleive "Hanoi Jane" was correct in
posing on a 37mm anti aircraft gun in Hanoi,North Vietnam while our pilots where
being shot down,thene I will respectfully disagree. |

this, I have to burn my dictionary...Last night I have seen a sinthesis
of Cooper-Folley 1 ( October 1958) on ESPN. Interesting fight ! I don' t know
why Bonavena got more credit for his career than Folley, Zora was still better
than him !|

was being sarcastic. If I had my way Jane Fonda would be charged and brought to
trial for Treason. Frankly, I despise her.Steve, the point I was trying
to make is, that the Ali of the middle to late 1960's; was not some wise
athelete/statesman with wisdom and courage. Standing up to the US goverment, as
the myth makers portray him. Frankly, he was a duped parrot, for Elijah
Muhammad and that sect he ran with his sons. Remember what he did to Patterson
in 1965; and Terrell in 1967, it was despicable. Who gave him the orders to do
that, Elijah, or maybe his son Herbert? Ali's lawyers claimed he was a
Conscientious Objector. They further stated that he could not fight in any war
unless directed by Elijah. Torture your black "brothers" in the ring, that is
okay. But, outside the ring your as peaceful as a Quaker, unless told otherwise
by Elijah, father of Herbert. Ali was a class A hypocrite regarding the draft,
and quite a few other things in his life. Steve, I an grateful to you
for pointing out the confusion about my remarks. Once again, I despise Fonda.
And, I have no problem admitting that it would not upset me to see her die a
slow and painful death. She is a diobolical person|

I make a quick suggestion before I go on holidays without you biting my head off
? Unemployment seems to be feeding your paranoia, and sitting around all day
surfing the web is only making it worse. Why not push the keyboard away and go
outside and smell the roses and enjoy some sun ? Who knows, if you drop that
know-all pretence, you might even get some friends. But make yourself
presentable first. Shave the legs and clip those armpits. Wash that matted
mange, get some lice treatment .....and stop scratching. Scrub the nicotine off
those fingers and stop biting them nails. Wear a long sleeved shirt to hide that
Smokin' Joe tattoe. Definitely try some exercise. You'll feel better about
yourself when shoppers stop averting their eyes and sniggering as you push that
overloaded trolley down the sweets aisle. Consider coming to terms with your
sexuality (yes, we all guessed). Getting some feminine interests might help too.
I'm sure they'll let you be the 'alpha' female (so to speak). Anger management
