Ill support you and your babies even if those babies Are addicted to drugs or Are aids babies Are we going to carry out our responsibilities to help clean up our society and find Loving and caring Homes for these babies also help support these mothers who can to support themselves the list goes on please read her column. I am a Mother of four Beautiful children. It would have been five had we the British animal Aid association encourages cruelty conscious people to write to the Spanish tourist office and  members demanding an end to bullfights and to Tell All tour operators who promote bullfights that you will not allow yourself to be lured to such modes of obsolete torture. I As a spaniard grew up with no particular Bias toward bulls. It was Only through Contact with americans that i became aware that this was wrong and today i feel a much better Man and thank you for it. A Miguel a. Rodriguez Torrejon a Spain not a bulging a eyesore i am writing because i believe that there May be a problem in the army. Weight standards. I realize that they Are High cosi 01 jul Isicc in place to ensure one maintains the appearance becoming of a Soldier. I be fairly easy to understand As Long As you remember that the majority of us Sre on the a a Down Side of the theory. Now ill admit in a 28 years old and have never voted. Its not that in a apathetic to the democratic process but i can never decide whether to vote for senator liar or representative Crook. Sort of like an to take it or leave it. But i have a plan. Given three free Mars military affiliate radio sys Tern Grams a Day i should be Able to let All and i mean All of our Good friends in Congress know exactly what i think of them and what i expect daresay demand from them in the future.

However not-16� that in most cases has sees 1,8 everyone feels and believes As we do. Not everyone a life is the same. There will always be Young mothers getting pregnant. There will always be aids victims and drug abusers getting pregnant. No matter How hard society tries and we do it will always be there. So i feel until we have stood up to purpose but i believe there Are exceptions. Ill use myself As an example. I have recently taken and passed my it test while at the same time failing my weigh in and tape test. Although i did not meet the standards set i look around and see people pass who carry their weight far worse than myself. I our responsibilities of taking care four a a never end �?op.0&Quot jh5 a  a is abused Quot addicted and Alfis children of Quot Quot Essma a Quot a by a a up Quot not to mention the thousands who Are on a pounds Over my weight and Nde my Bike tossed away and forgotten in our overcrowded juvenile Halls we have no right to throw judgment on those who have decided to have an abortion. A Ronnie Iverson Aschaffenbur Germany life before birth i would like to respond to the woman who wrote recently about the religious aspect of abortion. 100 Miles a week. Many a a Skinny soldiers can to make these claims. On top of this there is no huge bulge in my bus which most on the weight program have. These facts Lead me to believe i am not the Melon bellied eyesore that the army implies i am. In a not suggesting any wholesale changes in policy but instead of ending someone a career by a statistical guide of appearance the army should see if a a life betas a. Birth Why do Moth he Quot a a it 1., ers who have miscarried Grieve so much. If a baby is born prematurely and can to breathe on its own does the spirit still enter the body if the unborn baby Isnit living what is it doing Why does it grow Why Are parents fascinated with ultrasound pictures of their child. A Fly do doctors work so very hard to make sure the unborn baby is healthy to the extent that surgery is now being performed on the fetus in Uteri Why All this if a a life Hasni to begun yet there Are other options besides abortion where neither the baby nor the Mother Dies. If we As fellow humans truly Are Loving and accepting As we try to be we should give the pregnant woman encouragement to carry her baby and let it continue its life. And if perhaps the spirit does enter the baby at birth we have done no harm. A Sheryl Kauspedas Raf Mildenhall England education in bullfighting your article on bullfighting was objective yet compassionate and i commend you for it. It tastefully avoids the distorting adjectives usually accompanying the ill called a fiesta a which is no Small feat As writers generally help themselves to a Brave a a glorious a a a Sublime and the like More than common sense can stomach. The British animal Aid association says in its fliers to not go not even once. They say that if every British tourist visits the bullfight just once then we Are supporting this horror to the tune of $60 million annually. Imagine the income created by the american tourist tour companies that to Date have agreed to join the animal Aid cruelty free list Are Thomson horizon Thomas Cook and British airways holidays. Italy has passed a Bill Banning italian tourist Oft ices from advertising bullfights a pvt. 2 Scott Nemeth Hanau Germany _ editor s note.

Let a senator liar know is the Rumor in be heard Correct is Congress voting to give the military a 23 percent pay raise Over the next several years what of that makes much More sense. The Senate voted itself a 23 percent raise overnight. Its not really the Senate a fault you know. There a no Way any self respecting senator could continue to show his face in the streets of our nations capital after the House of representatives voted themselves a $125,000 salary in 1989. Even though the pay raises were a bipartisan Effort they must be part of the old Reagan a trickle Down  you remember that one done to you the More Money the Rich accumulate the More they May drop through the cracks for the rest of the american people. Its when i think of that Weirdo mass murderer Cannibal in Milwaukee i really Start to get scared. I am not talking about what he did. That is incomprehensible. My concern is for our judicial system and what it is going to Cost to afford this parasite. Bearing in mind that he already confessed american taxpayers can still look Forward to a Long drawn out jury search and trial. When everyone concludes he is nuts no kidding he can then be interned for a Long stretch of psychiatric visits a How did you feel when you did that a and follow up therapy in a sure. Is there really anyone truly interested in this creeps rehabilitation All that expensive psychiatry and care is a waste and farce since nobody wants it to a a work and have shaky Jakes Loose in their neighbourhoods 10 years Down the line. I realize As Well As the next citizen that our judicial system is one of the great pillars making America a Strong  question i am raising is  we find some Way for our system to Cut through the Malarkey and expenses in obvious Basket cases like this one once he is found guilty All i want my taxes to pay for is an electric Bill.
