European Stars And Stripes (Newspaper) - March 20, 1987, Darmstadt, Hesse The stars and stripes 20,1987 columns today s crossword it s time to skip biblical advice Brand Rooney if the Bible were to be rewritten this year with some quotes from god 1 think he d probably want to change that line in genesis where he is quoted saying be fruitful and multiply and replenish the Earth. For All we know god May have been misquoted inthe first place. You know How careless reporters Ait. A second Bible t have says he said till the whatever the Caw May be the present occupants of Earth have More than fulfilled that bit of biblical advice we Veti led the Earth and now we ought loquat adding More people to it. The human race like Maple Trees or fish has never multiplied up to its full capacity to do to but it s getting close. If every egg in All the caviar Ever eaten had become a fish the oceans would be overrun with Sturgeon. If All the eggs in All the women who eve lived had been fertilized the Earth would have died of overcrowding thousands of years ago. We ought to have a grand plan Tor our planet future which would arrange to maintain some relationship Between the number of people trying to liven Earth and Earth s ability to support that Many. If you think in would be selfish Tor those 5 billion of us Falve today to deny life 10 unlimited number of people tomorrow consider what life would be Tike for them. They would t have enough Dean air to breath food to eat water to drink or any kind or space they could Call their have already ruined All the riven from the Yangtze to the Mississippi. Do you know of a Lake you can drink safely from since we started dumping garbage and worse in them. Now we be started on the oceans and big As they Are they la be seas of Stop before we re often find ourselves breathing air we d prefer not to have in our lungs but we have no s All the air there is. In a recent report from a group called the world watch Institute in was said that human use of air water land and forests has reached the Point where permanent damage is being done. The proliferation of people is greatest in the coun tries and among the people who Are least Able to take them s difficult to understand How any society gov eminent philosophy or religion could encourage its constituents to be fruitful these Days i c to Nam Ali Bidden he knows what he was t doing by Dick West Ever since president Reagan first posed the Challenge i be been racking my brain in an at tempt to remember what i was doing on aug. 8, 1985. To refresh your memory Reagan said recently t forget the exact Date that it s possible for some of the details of the Iran Centra Issue to escape one s recollection to dramatize that Point he called for a show of hands by members of the audience who recalled what they were doing on aug. 8,195, thus far. The answers i be been Able to come up with have been rather negative. 1 find it easier to remember or at least believe some of the things Iwasyn t doing on that Date i m pretty sure for example that i was t Chan Ging my policy toward the hostages being held in Lebanon or seeking Means of circumventing the congressional ban on Aid to the Nicaragua rebels. But i be marked that Day in red on this year Calendar and should be Able to give a full report next aug. 9. Meanwhile i can understand How afew details might have clipped the president s mind. He is older than i and hence has More to forget. It likewise is easy to believe the current Issue of common cause Magazine includes an article entitled the new generation Gap the author lakes dim View of so called Granny bashing and i m not Overly fond of unrestrained Ronnie bashing on the memory lapse Issue. If the president is a bit hazy about some of the facts i am willing to forgive him. I recall undergoing a physical examination administered by a doctor i had known a Long time. I told him i did t know which of my complaint were organic and which were part of the Normal pattern for someone our age. He replied that three things normally occur alone grows older one is a loss of memory the doctor tested. I forget what the other two that was More than a year ago but i still re member the punch line As for of Ronnie an Oklahoma evangelist in another outbreak of negativism said we May never know what president Reagan was doing on aug. 8, i98s, but we sure know what he was not doing 1 the preacher who also was identified As a Agri culture activist told the National Farmers Union convention in fort Worth Tenas that Rea Gan was not saving the problems of according to the aforementioned Magazine Arti Cle a new advocacy group called americans for generation equity favors reducing social Security benefits somewhat in order to guarantee that $200 billion system will still be operating by the time baby Boomers reach retirement looking out for the future of baby Boomers maybe entirely laudable but frankly that sounds like a Yuppie goal to me. So i think anyone of social Security age can safely forget it.
