Page 11 letters letter on stairwell living draws replies this letter is in reply to stairwell living Calls for we live on the Bottom floor and we know what consideration Means. Too bad you Don to or you would keep your music turned Down. We be kindly asked you but you refused to be considerate. If we want to hear music Well turn on our own stereo. Your music gets so loud we can t hear our to or stereo because our volume it always turned Dowland you drown ours out have you Ever stooped to think that maybe when your re not Home playing the stereo we might hear the baby Sitter s music maybe you re not playing it All the Lime but we hear it All the time. Have you thought that i might have rugs or i might be looking Over my Balcony when you pour mop water Over the Side without taking the time to look first for the record we never have All night parties that would keep you awake because we Are considerate name and location withheld to stairwell neighbors who consistently Don t see to understand stairwell living is not Only being considerate. It Cen ters on knowing and understanding the Good neigh Bor rules spelled out clearly in the family housing brochure printed by the Community and included in Kmic regulations 30-4,91 1, Etc. As a stairwell member i have the right to address infractions by other stairwell members who Are otherwise ill informed Don t read or have a disregard for the social privacy concept of stairwell living. I am very much against stairwell neighbors who Don t believe in noise abatement regulations or in supervising their children who Are sometimes barely old enough to walk or talk. I Don t condone the belief that playgrounds Are everywhere the government has provided places for children to play in All housing areas. I Don t believe in pets being jct unattended in stairwell housing 1 Don t believe children should be. For All those who say i have a right to my own opinion i say i sure do bul what i be put Down on paper Are the Good neighbor rules and regulations we arc told to enforce in military housing. There is Little room left for those who have a second opinion. Last month 1 almost ran Over a child who was not older than 5 years. She was playing behind a car and ran out in the Middle of the Street to gel her Ball. I just avoided hitting her. Who would have been at fault does t matter much. All of us would have suffered. So let s get the word out and enforce ill name and location withheld you say show you some consideration while you arc drilling and using your Power saw on your Balcony and the lady is playing her stereo loud enough for everyone in the building to hear because her Balcony door is open. Whal arc my options close my door and windows on hot Days or maybe i could turn up my 400-Walt system so i won t be Able to hear yours. Now our neighbors will have 10 turn up their systems so they won t hear mine. Soon we have 50,000 Walls of music drills and Power saws wracking the housing area nol to mention kids playing with water and outside doors being closed too hard. Think of How ridiculous living in such a Community would be. We have enough noise already. If you can t be quiet get out of housing. To the complainer keep up the work. Master sgt Ronald Quillen Augsburg Germany attitude of some patriots upsets Reader a recent article concerning a pledge of continue fund raising for the nicaraguan contras by a group called civilian Materiel assistance contained this a Siote from former Navy cmdr. Bob Cairo Ever since i was in i be said a Liberal journalist should be executed once a month to serve As an example to this Man and others who share his viewpoint Call themselves patriots yet their attitude is set squarely against the ethics of democracy. Perhaps Cairo statement was made in jest bul in still smacks strongly very strongly of the Mode of thinking that makes living under totalitarian regimes so unpleasant that Mode of thinking that Stales if it disagrees with you try to imagine what America would be like if such men were in control. Anyone who disagreed with their Way of running things would be silenced imprisoned or worse. This sounds suspiciously like the peo ple we Are supposed to be fighting against. I must speak out on this Issue because 1 believe i democracy. I also believe democracy is fragile and must be diligently safeguarded and not Only from enemies outside it. It must also be safeguarded against those within who however Well meaning or Power hungry would tear in apart from the inside out. We roust be watchful of such individuals. They will Bringus to the same place As those we guard against the Only difference being the Way we Gal there. One last thing Voltaire once said i disagree completely with what you say but i would defend to the death your right to say it it s too bad Hal Tome people would rather kill the person with whose statement they disagree. If More people thought like Voltaire the world might be a better place. If More people thought like or. Cairo. A.1.c Michael a.
