Fearless Freep. Was that not a underground comic character from the late 60's/early 70's? That was Rip off Press I believe. Harvey Pekar and his younger brother Allen were born in Cleveland, Ohio, to a Jewish family. Their parents were Saul and Dora Pekar, immigrants from Białystok, Poland. Saul Pekar was a Talmudic scholar who owned a grocery store on Kinsman Avenue, with the family living above the store. Ahh, the good old days in Ohio.

Probably borrowed in part for the various artists. Not sure. I know someone who has the entire collection, and that would sort things out as to who copied who. Ramones was a CIA band so they say..

The Ramones were CIA. I'm intrigued by your theory and would like to hear more.

It's not mine. That theory has been out there long before I was on the web. My CIA buddy showed up one day in a Ramones shirt a couple of years back. I did not bring it up in conversation. As far as I know the entire punk rock scene was black ops at the beginning. Patty Smyth, Warhol, and other familiar names are somehow involved with the promulgation. Goal was to create kids who cared about nothing but drugs and cheap thrills, as far as the end result goes and in my opinion.

Yeah, this pretty pretty ludicrous. Johnny would have signed up if they let him in, but there's no fucking way they would have him. And Dee Dee? My goodness. I know a guitar store that won't sell him any guitars AND that's after he became famous.

Pretty sure drugs and cheap thrills were a thing before the Ramones.

So how this work? We'll take a bunch of misfits and have them play a bluegrass bar with dog shit on the floor in an abandoned part of the city and we'll use this to take over the kids? My god if anything was a genuine grass roots DIY thing, it was punk. Punk had to actually create they own venues or else they would never be able to tour.

The Ramones couldn't get a gig in New Jersey for godsakes and you think they government funded? Ludicrous.

I do subscribe the theory that Sid Vicious did not kill Nancy Spungen, but that she was murdered by a sketchy New York guy who had been hanging out the party that day. The theory was Nancy and Sid passed out and she woke up and caught this guy trying to rip off their stuff and he killed her and she was dead when Sid woke up.

Gee, thanks for muddying the waters. That is why we rely on your research so much here. You don't know crap about Punk. I was there at the time.

"I have tried searching the database of missing children, but a last name is required". I have had so many frustrations with search engines and sites that I am convinced they are in on it. Why would he have to be from the DC area? Kid would not know where he was if asleep on a plane, train, or automobile. People are searching for the kids, but there is no one site where relatives from around the world can post everything they know with translation tool, AKA both child and adult, and easily searched. It has to be privately owned because of what we have uncovered. Another good idea would be to have multi-country branches archiving in case one or more country decides to extinguish.

Regarding question 2: yes, distinguishable to someone with the right training.

Question 1: Yes. Sexual dimorphism is less noticeable in children than in adults, that trick works on a small child.
