On feb 27, i was injured in Iraq when a Friend of mine set off a land mine. Unfortunately he did no to make it but i did. I owe it All to spec. Matthew Garland 54th support in Friedberg Germany better known As a Man needless to say i was torn up pretty badly. A Man came to my Rescue and talked me through the pain and did everything he could possibly do for my injuries until help arrived. It has been six months since my Accident and i am slowly recovering. I will never forget the unselfish and courageous thing a Man did for me. A big thank you goes out to you a Man from my family and myself a sgt. Edward Gilbert Frankfurt Germany recycling Worth it hats off to the person who wrote to Praise the benefits of recycling in Germany. I too am one of those strange people you can see schlepping paper Glass batteries and cans to various containers close and not so close in the Community. Recycling is one of the very smallest things we can each do to help the pollution problem that affects us worldwide. Yes i can admit it can sometimes be a major pain to pull the paper off of a soup can and place it in a bag separate from other garbage but a few times of doing it and it becomes Rote. It feels Good for me to think that maybe just maybe i am doing something. There Are still some kinks to be worked out like More containers in More convenient places such As beside the other dumpsters outside our Homes instead of 10 Kilometres Down the Road. Yet it is a Small Price to pay for the larger scale benefits. Now 1 have a question for other concerned readers who May know what to do with a part of our garbage that i Haven to found a Good place for a plastic. It seems so illogical to simply toss these items in with the rest of my no recycling trash. But i have yet to find an alternative place i would be very thankful for information As to How to dispose of these items in the proper fashion. Remember recycling is the one thing that each of us can do for ourselves regardless of what politicians or businesses claim to be doing for our environment a Susanna j. Little Kirch Gons Germany protest against protesters i wonder if All the people who protest bullfights Are vegetarians done to they know that every time they cat a Wurst or Cut into a Juicy Steak they Are condoning a indeed promoting a the Anonymous Slaughter of millions of animals every year whal Are the few thousand bulls killed in bullfights each year compared with those millions that suffer an ignominious death in abattoirs for our dining pleasure the self righteous protesters should be reminded that the bulls killed in the ring Are also sold for food and that at least they had a Chance to get Back at their killers. If nothing else bullfights serve to make Manifest  of a society that says Quot we done to care what you do to the dumb animals just done to Tell us about it or show it to  the outrage and tourist Boycotts would be better directed at african asian and South american countries where our own kind Are still imprisoned tortured and killed every Day a John Domoss Rota Spain in editor s note letters from readers expressing their viewpoints Are published daily in this space.

Your two weekly magazines stripes and sunday contributed immensely to the Relief of this grateful soul they kept us up to Date on what was happening in Europe the movie and music industries genealogy and last but certainly not least books. A Thomas h. Greer Mannheim Germany. J a More than one Issue every Day when i read the paper 1 see at. Least one article in which the writer tries to decide an entire Issue or election by pontificating on one Issue. So Many times i see the same types of arguments being put Forth by these to no maniacal morons. Often the Issue is abortion but it can be everything from civil rights to the environment. The ideology behind them All is the same done to vote for this person or that person because he or she believes in fill in your Pel Issue Here. What everyone seems to collectively forget is that no election has Ever been won or lost because of one Issue or by one or the other candidates particular View on any Issue during an election. There is always something else to be considered when we decide to vote for one candidate or the other or on which Side of an Issue we choose to stand. If one politician espouses a conservative stand on abortion and the other says that abortion is no one else s business except the woman and her doctor Are we going to let that one Issue wipe out everything else that either candidate stands for should abortion be that decisive and divisive an Issue today or for that matter should Black conservative Clarence Thomas rather unpopular stance on affirmative action be the overwhelming Factor in his upcoming Senate confirmation hearings have we As a nation really come Down to looking at the political landscape of our government and our individual rights through such Tunnel vision i Hope not. Incidentally in a glad we can argue one Way or the other but i wish people would realize that every candidate has More than one viewpoint to be considered rather than boiling everything Down to one Issue. Every important question or Issue has at least two sides that must be fully considered when we decide which candidate or organizations to support. The United states is still going to be Here tomorrow and the next Day and Infin Tum even if we have a conservative supreme court overturn Roe is. Wade impose a seven Day waiting period for the Purchase of a handgun and have women in combat. We May not like everything but then we can always write letters to the editor. And we can vote. Please do. A Bruce towns find Stuttgart Germany government up to you want Good government America pay up. So a recent writer tells us in defense of the Senate pay raise. Yes America. Pay up so that your government can continue to ignore the failing education system the rising unemployment rates and the growing number of homeless on our country a streets. Hurry America pay up so that your government can continue to watch As our nations cities go bankrupt. Quickly America. Pay up so that yet another Public official can be charged with drug abuse child molestation rape and murder. The fact that the armed services did not receive a 23 percent pay raise is not the Issue. At Issue is the continuous misdirection of the taxpayer Dollar. And for what to provide incentive to our elected officials a Public office is. Private Enterprise i think not. Hey armed services want a pay raise write to your congressman and make him work for you. Hey american Public want educated dedicated individuals making decisions that affect your career and your life educate yourself on the platforms that your representatives run on and their records in Congress. Make informed choices on whom you want to run your country.
