European Stars And Stripes (Newspaper) - October 20, 1986, Darmstadt, Hesse Page 18 columns the stars and stripes monday. October 20.1988 sometimes smaller con be better May have gone far enough with bigger. The Lime May be at hand to Start thinking Small. I Don t mean i atari a religious argument but it would t do he world any harm at All if we called halt to the expansion of everything. We Don l need bigger schools or a bigger genesis the writer quota cod As having said after he created everything be fruitful and multiply and replenish the the Earth was a different kind of place then and i doubt very much if co would repeal it today. When Christ was born there were Only about 300million people alive on Earth. You have to guess that iveral Ilienia before thai there must have Bee fewer than a million. In 1950, there were 1 i billion alive. Now there Are twice that Many. There Are More people Active today than have died in All of history. I think we be probably been As fruitful As god had i mind for us. What i d like to see is fewer people and More vacant Lols. Ii in t Only the population of Earth and of the United states that s plenty big enough. It s everything. We re of seed with bigness. I be been thinking ongoing for smaller in my own life. Maybe we could make our Home smaller. We d take room off. Are there contractors who can make a House smaller i know there Are contractor who will put on additions. There must be contractors who can do subtractions. Anyone making their House smaller by subtracting a room should gel a tax credit there would be lots of advantages to smaller houses. They d be cheaper to heal easier to clean and nicer to furnish because you could throw out All the furniture that has turned to junk Over the years. Maybe Well get a smaller car. Ii sure would make it easier getting it into the garage with All the Huff i be got sucked up on either Side. Ill write a Teller to the College 1 attended. Id officials always Are writing to me. They want to be Best friends and when die they want me to leave them any Money i have left Over. The College want Money because it needs new dormitory. It needs a new dormitory because last year raised enough Money to build a new lecture halt to to the lecture Hall it admitted More freshmen and now it has no place to House them. It never occurs to College that it might be a Good idea to retrench. The thought of admitting fewer student and nuking the College smaller is never considered. We might tear up some of our highways Loo. We have More roads in the United states than there Are places to p on them. We be gone mad paving Over our country. The More big loads we have the More places we go that we Don t need to gel to. If you could Slop every car on a major Highway i think you d find that in three quarters of the cases the trip was unnecessary and not even pleasant. Of All the things that have become too big in the world companies Lead the list. Big companies have been swallowing up Small companies until there Aren Many Small ones left. Now big companies Are Swallow ing other big companies and getting indigestion in the process. Big companies Don t make things As Well As Small companies. Farmers Haven improved themselves since the got so big either. The Good thing about a Small dinner As compared with a big one is the Small Fanner can Tel in trouble by borrowing $2 million. I m ready to say that there arc very few things inline with the possible exception of an ice Cream Cone that Are better big than Small.
