Three words that raise the hackles of Dod department of defense folks everywhere. We re always ready to Point the Finger at the other Guy a the Guy who a ripping us off. What about a a Uncle himself with All the time Money and manpower spent by the government to help us adopt healthier habits which includes smoking cessation and reduction of alcohol consumption Why does Uncle subsidize our bad habits by offering tobacco and alcohol at Cut rate prices the latest hubbub about smokes even threatens to hold up the Dod commissary consolidation because the army and air Force want to offer tobacco while the sea services done to. I think the Bosses have lost Contact. Their dogmatic adherence to the belief that part of the military contract guarantees subsidized alcohol and or tobacco in our clubs commissaries and exchanges and operating class i stores is bogus. Uncle inundated us with advertising and health initiatives that Tell us a Stop Stop Stop a but the Power of the pocketbook Speaks louder. In a not saying we should abolish smoking materials and alcohol from uncles habitats. We should offer the same things that Are available to the civilian sector what i am saying is lets get the Bosses speaking with one Tongue. Take the subsidies off liquor and tobacco materials. At least make the users pay Uncle the same taxes he charges everyone else. If uncles going to spend Money to combat the proliferation of alcohol and tobacco Why should t those who done to choose to heed the warnings help foot More of the Bill Why should taxpayers subsidize unhealthy habits and cessation campaigns at the same time a master sgt.

What apparently is emerging however is a crusade that blames White people for All the worlds problems while ignoring the shortcomings of others. I fear that some of these a  Are nothing but eur Rop Hobes with ethnic and cultural axes to grind. First of All we should remember that no group has a monopoly on Good or evil. Unfortunately when Whites Are now mentioned collectively it tends to be in a negative manner. Look How our own government implements multiculturalism. It offers every conceivable non White group a recognition week or month but not even a Day for the approximately 180 million european americans. No we Are not a monolithic bloc As some claim but a mosaic of various people who have contributed to America in different ways. Why not have English scottish German scandinavian Irish polish and italian american weeks i done to think anyone would be offended. Yes european settlers displaced americans native inhabitants imported and oppressed african slaves and nearly destroyed the Beauty and wildlife of the continent. Nevertheless they also produced As Andy Rooney puts it a most of what a Good now in the civilization that the whole world recognizes As the Best on  a capt. Mark e. Jaworowski Frankfurt Germany pampered a nobility 1 can to help feeling dismay at the Senate pay raise. It seems As though the descendants of those who immigrated to the new world and tamed the wilderness can be led around by the nose like cattle. Have we lost so much of our rebellious spirit that none can raise the alarm King George Iii tried to do the same Type of thing More than 200 years ago. Our forefathers laughed in his face. It is High time the american people took another look at their legislators. The excuse of two households and rising College expenses makes me angry to say the least. Building dormitories for our legislators might be an idea whose time has come. Sure they might have to entertain foreign dignitaries and what letters to the editor not but what about building conference centers into these a politician dorms do we need to pamper our self styled a nobility Quot after All Arentt All americans equal it seems that Many of our present gang of a a rulers Are trying to go a a dynastic on us. Witness the Kennedy clan the Udall of the Southwest and the Daley of Chicago. Politics is becoming family business because of the Power of position. How sad for us All. What we probably need in office is a team of accountants rather than lawyers. Accountants know you can to spend red Ink. Rather than find new things to spend Money on we need to spend no More than we have available. Lets try to convince ourselves that we be got enough Laws and need new accounting for the financial resources we do have. A James e. Gallo or.

There Are other countries such As some parts of China where they eat dogs rats pangolin and scorpions a to each his own. Vegetarians ignore that there a also organic life in plants and vegetables.
