Editor & Publisher - George Borewell

OUR MOTTO

Two Car parks - Good! Four Car parks - Better!

OUR SPIRITUAL ENLIGHTENMENT FOR THE MONTH

The Seven Commandments for Bahais

Whomsoever has no car park cannot be a Bahai
Whomsoever has four car parks is a real Bahai
No Bahai shall wear clothes - in bed.
No Bahai shall sleep at a meeting of the AO - except at Voting time.
No Bahai shall drink alcohol - where non-Bahais can see him
No Bahai shall hit any other Bahai - but ex-Bahais are fair game
All Bahais are equal - but some Bahais are more equal than others.
("Unfolding Density - The Collected Letters of Shuggy Bear")

EDITORIAL

This is the first of what we hope will be many issues of Bahai Farm. The editorial team welcomes your comments - you may E-mail us at john_randolph@privacyx.com. If you mail us, your confidence will be fully respected - nobody on the editorial team will be running and reporting you to the Auxiliary Board Member or anybody else.

Although Bahai Farm is the proud successor to Brave New World, which was the first magazine of its kind in the world, it is brought to you by an entirely different team. We are grateful to members of the Brave New World team who passed on to us certain unpublished material. There has been great speculation as to their true identities - in line with the maxim that it is best to retire when one is at the peak of one's profession, they have now bowed out and passed the torch to a new generation.

It is our intention to not merely emulate but surpass the high standards set by Brave New World. We wish to place on record our deep appreciation of the inspiration given by Big Al Marbig whose courage, foresight and great skills put that magazine together and on the Web. Without Big Al it would not have been possible. When the history of these momentous times is written, you may be sure that the name of Big Al Marbig will be writ in large letters, up there in fluorescent tubes, alongside such superheroes as Mickey Mouse, Bart Simpson, the altogether different shark in Jaws2 and Crocodile Dundee. Future generations will come to know and revere that name, especially as there will be an additional school holiday on Big Al Marbig Day. For that reason, if for no other, shall his name live in perpetuity!
