Lets not be so Small As to legislate on How to express disagreement. Abortion a let a woman decide for herself. Men should Stop trying to impose their beliefs about something a Man can never have firsthand knowledge of. However if women can demand child support for their upbringing do men have a say in the future or Lack of future of their own offspring sex spouses rights to Retiree pay a women of the world unite declare your economic Independence from men. End the Cycle of female subservience in a male world. You done to need an Alimony Check to make it on your own in the world. By the Way what was that said about a having your cake and eating it too a surrogate motherhood a baby Selling pure and simple. Anyway if the biological Mother decides to keep the baby even in violation of agreement let her keep the baby a plus All the Bills and headaches involved. Gorbachev a support him and keep him in Power until the russians can come up with a democratic government that la keep tabs on 10,000 ? nuclear warheads scattered through How Many civil War torn republics uniform violations in a combat situation a i can to believe anybody even said anything about that. They re getting shot at you idiot forget How the sleeve gets rolled up. Only unprintable words can properly convey my feelings about this. Apartheid a or. De Klerk just think about pleasing 25 million potential voters. You re a politician you can understand that. And or. Jesse Jackson done to be upset if everything does no to turn Rosy overnight in South Africa. The emancipation proclamation is Over 125 years old and we still have a Long Way to go. Besides recent news reports out of Johannesburg tend to show that All the violence Isnit just Black is. White. Its Zulu is. Xhosa men was is. Bantu. Its a lot More complicated than we All might think. Education and Bart Simpson a he a just a cartoon character. So to done to have a cow. Satanism a just another religion with another god competing against everybody else a private god. Did no to the romans accuse the christians of everything the satanists have been accused of in the last couple of months if someone commits a human sacrifice in conjunction with satanism any cop would Call it murder nothing else. Besides How Many people Are butchered maimed and tortured every year on the bloodstained altars of the Christian and islamic gods see any movements toward eliminating those horrible influences a sgt. Michael Dean Miller Wurzburg West Germany animal lovers asked to avoid breeders dear Ann Landers i returned to Chicago recently from a business trip to Denver. I was already seated in the Middle seat when a woman assigned to the aisle seat Bent Over and asked me very sweetly if i would mind lifting the Arm of the chair we shared. She said a i am uncomfortable with it  i agreed which was a big mistake. When the woman sat Down she spread out into one Quarter of my space. This was no problem at the time. As the flight progressed she continued to spread. Halfway through the flight the seat Belt Light went on signalling turbulence. By then the woman had expanded into half of my space. Her seat Belt was cutting into my thigh and i had to use her hip As an armrest. My leg began to ache from Lack of circulation and i was becoming More irritated by the minute. Somehow with gods help i made it to Chicago. As i thought about the trip i realized How dumb i had been. When i de planed i walked directly behind this woman and had a full View of her posterior. I done to understand Why in the world she was not required to Purchase two seats. Please Tell your readers that they should never allow anyone to raise the armrest prior to a flight departing. Believe me Ann i will never make that mistake again. A squashed on arrival dear squashed just when i think i have heard everything something new comes along. I believe that you had a legitimate complaint and should have taken it up with the flight attendant. Thanks for writing. Dear Ann Landers you have published several letters recently from adult children who Are disappointed or downright angry about not receiving what they consider their fair share of an inheritance. What a with these people anyway their parents worked their whole lives to earn what they have and they re entitled to do whatever they want with it. When i turned 23, my Mother told me not to expect anything because she planned to enjoy most of the Money she had earned and leave what was left to her live in gentleman Friend. He does no to have much but he treats her beautifully that did no to bother me a bit. I love my Mother no matter what. To those who believe their parents owe them an inheritance i ask Why they gave you life what More do you want a ., Mahwah . Dear  I like your style. Thanks for unloading in this Corner. Dear Ann Landers i have read and enjoyed your column for Many years and have had a chuckle or two from some of the letters and your responses. I thought perhaps you and your readers might get a laugh out of this. My wife gave our 8-month-old Puppy an empty plastic Container to Chew on and play with. It had a a a childproof lid on it. Guess what the Puppy got the lid off in no time at All. A . Deard i have always had a Devil of a time with those things and Felt like an idiot. Now you say your Puppy can do it. Thanks for ruining my Day. C creators Syndicate in answer to a recent letter in your paper regarding a readers love for dogs and her Breeding of pit Bull terriers any animal welfare activist will Tell you the following a True animal Lover will pay a vet to have his her pet neutered thus avoiding the discomfort of seasons pregnancies Etc. Anybody who Sells puppies is guilty of trading with the suffering of an animal that of the Mother being Tom from her Little ones and that of the Little ones weaned from a Loving Mother. Many countries prohibit this practice with animal Protection Laws and impose heavy fines on transgressors. There Are too Many abandoned pets in the world to condone the readers behaviour if she did truly love her dog Kori she would do everything possible to spare her new pregnancies and she would not sell Korius offspring. It is highly suspicious that she Calls attention to thousands of attacks each year caused by other Breeds of dogs. A dog any dog does not attack by nature unless viciously trained to do so. It makes no difference if your dog is bom in a controlled environment or in a Back Alley. It is the treatment Given to a pet by a human that does make the difference. The stars and stripes by reporting incidents with pit Bull terriers makes the Public aware of something that is a fact Many a perverse instincts instill an aggressiveness in pets not inherent to their genes for the purpose of making Money through fights. This practice is condemned by Law in All civilized countries in some even with prison terms. By returning a purchased Puppy a person May be expressing disgust in trading with animal suffering or the person simply came to the conclusion that he she is not prepared to Deal with months of pet monitoring. No matter what excuse is Given for the return it seems a bit farfetched to blame a newspaper. Anybody wishing a pet do not buy it please. Go to your City Pound or animal shelter. Beautiful dogs and cats of All Breeds Are Given away for free just As Long As you provide them with some warmth and Loving. Beware of breeders private or fully licensed. Their Trade is known to cause suffering pain and distress to animals. A Miguel Rodriguez Madrid Spain pen pals k i am 18 years old and i like listening to music playing guitar and piano and sports.
