Bui i wanted to hug you when you told an Chicago Reader who complained about having her appetite spoiled by the sight of n Handi capped woman whose husband was feeding her in the restaurant the wheelchair lady had difficulty swallowing. Her husband was wiping up the food As ii ran Down the sides of her Mouth. Chicago Reader said the sight was very unappetizing and that she was entitled to a pleasant meal for her Money when she complained to the manager he of her he was sorry but there was nothing he could do. I am sure All America loves you for your terrific support of the disabled. God bless you Ann _. Edna r., also from Iowa dear Edna All America Well not exactly. Here Are some responses from several readers who hold another View. Dear Ann Landers i found your reply to Chicago Reader offensive. Has it occurred to you that everyone at some Lime in his life experiences sad events and ii is not their divine right to Burden the general Public with their problems your Altitude represents a rend thai is gripping this country. We Are becoming embroiled in everyone s problems All Over the world disease starvation and dictatorships. No wonder we have turned to drugs Dunk and sexual promiscuity. Personally 1 am tired of jews in this country who assume the role of arbiter in All situations. F.z., Columbus Ohio dear Ann Landers your response to Chicago Reader shows you Are not very savvy. Would you believe there Are Many Handi capped people who take great pleasure in flaunting their disability so they can make Able bodied people feel guilty for one refuse to fall into that trap. Too bad you did Sacramento Calif. Dear Ann Landers usually you  right but you were wrong to get Huffy Wilh Chicago  i am a Picky eater with a queasy stomach. I have the right when i go out and pay Good Money for a meal to enjoy it. The sight of a women in a wheelchair with food running Down her Chin would make me throw up. Believe my rights should be respected As much As the rights of the person in the wheelchair. Maybe even More so because i am Normal and she is not. R.i., Greenville miss. Dear Ann Landers your mean reply to Chicago Reader was uncalled Tor. She has a very Good Point. In my opinion restau rants should have a special Section for handicapped people partially hidden by Palms or other greenery so they Are not seen by other guests. Slob Beren disabled or not turn my stomach. D.l., Tampa Fla. Dear Ann Landers you owe an apology to Chicago  she was within her rights to complain about the woman in the wheelchair. Too Many relatives of handicapped folks Parade them around town taking hem to the Heaters movies concerts Art museums and restaurants to show How wonderful they Are. They love to hear people Call hem devoted. Taring.  it s their claim to Fame in life and they play the Martyr role to the Hilt. Wise up lady. John k., Ithaca  Dev renter. Elcue forgive me if 1 do not respond to these oils. Totcy Are too or Gooe for me id notch. G Lowr to howl America sync counr4t land tray a conversation about drugs lawsuits the neighbors who live on either Side of me have differing ways of viewing the same subject matter. This was clearly the Case when i heard George announce to Charlie the problem with these Whimp English lawyers is that they Don t sue  Charlie s response was no Surprise. You think that boy George s lawyers should sue everybody because he s hooked on heroin of course the mayor of Marseille where they Manu facture ii the port authority of la Harvic where it leaves France the City of London taxi ltd., which transports it to his Flat his brother and three friends who share with him and the London times  Why on Earth should they sue the London times George who seemed Well informed on the subject noted that it is rumoured that drugs Are always brought to the Flat in a once folded London times. Seems that it s tradition and the English Are keen on  there fore the times must assume an equal share in the demise of boy George. I could see that hit was going to be a beaut so 1 edged closer to Charlie s driveway where i could hear belter. By now Charlie s face had passed from the red to the Blue stage. It was evident that he could not agree Wilh George. Good grief Georee. Do you go along Wilh this insane practice of american lawyers suing everyone we americans have our traditions  Don t you think thai people like Len Bias John Belu Shi and the Kennedy kid should be held solely responsible for their actions when they overdose and die it was after Alj their Choice and Money. Nobody held them Down while they were forced to take the drugs. Just be cause they were prominent people we can t " George interrupted and countered with his own form of logic there Are big pressures on prominent people. Life is difficult for people with All that Money. Networks expect funny people to get funnier if you arc a Kennedy and you Aren t running for office alter you pass from puberty to adulthood you arc considered a failure and a lat happens if the old Hook shot starts to miss 1 moved away from the driveway because Char Lii was having serious trouble breathing by now and the Rake in his hand looked menacing. Ill Tell you pressure George. The Guy with three kids who lost his Job and is living on food Stamps til he can gel work again. The car is gone and he s about to lose his House gasp gasp. That s pressure. He does t sue be cause he s trying to solve his own problems and gel work George interrupted again. He can t sue anyone. You have to have Money to sue people. You can t expect a lawyer to work for nothing. He s got expenses and pres sure to maintain his expensive place in society. Besides it s a dangerous precedent to pin the responsibility of adults actions completely on  i never heard the end of the conversation. George wisely Bent Over to Start his Mower and never did Sec the Rale sail Over his head the Tost i heard was Charlie saying something about there would t be a drug Market if peo ple did t buy the stuff. I thought that could hear my wife calling me and fled to safety bul i wondered aloud to my wife later if indeed people who Chow to do drugs should take full Respo Sibil i to for the consequences not withstanding their economic position and should the lawyers who feed on the wounded carcasses of social failure earn criticism for their moneymaking venture i never did get an answer because she was feeling the pressure of getting ready for a dinner party and my Boss s wife is a great Cook. I m in trouble As soon As my wife finds out that i forgot to buy the charcoal lighter.

No Speaks up about uniform standards i Jusi returned from a leave thai included a trip to the . On military aircraft space available. While the trip was generally enjoyable one thing bothered me a great Deal. That is the number of sol Diers i encountered who were in violation of the uni form and appearance regulation a 670-1.
