Letters to the Edito Christian mythology i was amused by the letter from the writer who Felt that since the Bible said Jesus was born crucified buried and resurrected it must have happened the Bible is so full of internal contradictions no one who reads it intelligently could take it literally the resurrection stories themselves vary so much from one version to the other in terms of who was there what happened and who said what to. Whom that they could Only be attempts at explaining things people believed but for which there was no evidence. It is Clear that someone with a name that translates to a a Jesus lived about 2,000 years ago was appalled by the conditions Many a inhumanity had caused preached a Rule of love rather than Laws got into trouble with the political  of the Day and was executed. After that people mixed this Story with the pre existing myth of the god who took on human form. What we have today is the result of that mix. Many other things were borrowed from the religions that had the god be comes Man myth Chicks bunnies easter eggs and even the name easter comes from Oestrus the Pagan festival of Fertility. The Christmas tree comes from the druids. Communion has its roots in cannibalism. More people have reported seeing Elvis since he died than reported seeing Jesus. Does that mean Elvis Rose from the dead i done to think so. A Frank d.

A  a the problem is not so much leaving a Loyear old alone for several hours but leaving a 10-year-old alone with younger siblings.

Nixon bashing Presa a a is no cure for the past several years in be read letters in the stars and stripes with amusement sympathy and disagreement. But the letter a fight cancer first made me mad. In a not a doctor scientist or aids victim but i  believe there Are still people who think aids is an a immoral  daily we read about the plight of the children in Romania the african countries being decimated the Ryan Whites and other blood donation recipients and doctor dentist patients a innocent people infected by the his virus. I doubt these people chose to contract this deadly disease. This writers logic on the cure for aids follows the same line of thinking that says if nobody drove there would be no vehicle related accidents. Wake up.  Isnit Flat and aids wont go away in a few years by everyone living a moral lives.�?T7 i Haye two children and am afraid of the future they face with this disease spreading. Keep spending the Money and More. After All i also think my children and quite a few million others would Benefit More from a cure than a Good advertising Campaign. A capt. John  Dunham German unattended children i contacted my housing office about the regulation concerning Young children being left alone in quarters in Germany they had a difficult time locating such a regulation. Eventually one was found but it is very vague what is happening in Many families is a relaxed attitude that says a nothing speak for yourself id like to respond to the sergeant who views the army As a Way out of the inhumane conditions that Blacks face in the United states. If you never thought that your life could end in this line of work what Type of realistic training did you give your subordinates prior to deployment Why waste six years of your life if you re being brainwashed surely with the enormous potential you displayed in High school you be developed some marketable Talent that would allow you to find a Job that suits you. Or have you been Content Riding the system and lamenting your condition. A. V. A. Done to be so Quick to declare yourself the voice of a a thousands of Black soldiers. I for one done to need the representation. A staff sgt. Ivis l. Bylas operation desert storm unplanned payment i am one of the thousands of individuals whose Deros Date of return from overseas was involuntarily adjusted extended by approximately five months. This action had a severe Impact on my career plans and the uncertainty created havoc for myself and others. Quot Usa eur advertised a policy whereas affected soldiers could have their Pov privately owned vehicle registration extended by six months. I have been told this policy has been rescinded. I now have to renew my registration. This would not have been necessary except for my new Deros. Waiving the $15 fee and extending the registration Only seems fair for people in this situation. A Gerald p. Finan Worms Germany in regard to the article about Richard Nixon i just want to ask when Are we going to put aside our past prejudice for this Man and look at the great things he has done for this country he continues to advise presidents today including Reagan and Bush it is so typical the Way this reporter called him the a old trickster at work again to better this nation. Any educated person knows that while in office Nixon succeeded in several great reforms that even today help our country such As a reopening communication with China. A a initiating Trade with the soviet Union which is no it a our biggest Cus a Tomer of Grain. Quot a a a enhancing the wildlife Protection Agency in the United states which today plays a major role in preserving our nations wildlife and environment. Of course these Are just a few of his accomplishments in office and there Are More he succeeded in while holding state positions and helped accomplish As a very Well respected adviser. But of course it is too much to ask for the Media to remember any of these things while they Are slamming him to the Wall. Hopefully the american Public will learn to become More involved to find out the truth for themselves instead of trusting discriminating reporters who have a hard time writing anything Good about anybody but Are great at ridiculing others and promoting tension in politics. Until then we Are at their mercy and More like slaves who can to think for ourselves. A a a. A a pvt. 2 Jason Lanning Bromer Haven Germany. A War to remember ,. I a a a a a. Most people believe that nothing Good can be had from a War. Good men and women put their lives on the line for their country. Innocent men women and children get caught up in the Battle from which they cannot run. However if i were to Ever have to fight in a War the persian Gulf had to be the one. As an american Soldier modern technology and Strong support from my country ensured an Early Safe return to my family. There was Good that came from this War a the camaraderie of our country As it pulled together in this trying time. People quit burning flags and started flying them. They had  War rallies and yellow ribbons went up everywhere. They sent tons of mail As they supported the soldiers who supported them. The soldiers also were Strong. They Alt came together to accomplish the Mission and they succeeded. We Felt a Strong bonding out in the desert and we would like to keep that Bond alive. The Gulf vets motorcycle club is a Good Way to keep the fire burning. If you enjoy Riding and served in Southwest Asia during the War then join us. We wish to continue the wartime camaraderie by spending time together at runs rallies and parties. We also intend to give thanks to our country for All the support that it gave us. We will have an annual fund Raiser to help the homeless As Well As support ing our communities in Many different ways. Keep the fire burning write sgt. De Eakle b co., 12th eng.
