As a guest there comes the responsibility to exercise the proper conduct in respecting the Laws culture and More important the people of this land. I Hope the juvenile offenders As Well As the older offenders Are held fully accountable for their actions that they also perform Community services within the German Community for no less than six months with at least 20 to 30 hours per week. As for the older offenders i Hope severe punishment within the Law is exercised and that Steps Are taken in due haste to Send them out of Germany should they fail to Correct and make right their wrongdoings to the German Community. 1 have been confronted and assaulted by nazi skinheads on seven separate occasions but that does not give me the right to lash out against the German Community because of the actions of a few mentally twisted cowards. It is a bitter Pill to Swallow when it is brought to my attention that violence no different than that practice by nazi skinheads is being performed by Ameri can citizens. It is a total disgrace and an insult to our country our culture and the american people. I would Hope that american citizens seek the proper conduct As guests in an International Community and show some Wisdom about the Burden you place on All of us. We too Are victims of our actions not just the German Community. A Felix Ortega Berli not in the same boat this is in regard to the letter from the writer Otaviano Italy. He pointed out several facts and misconceptions that military individuals throughout the armed services fail to take into consideration. I would like to reinforce what he said at out people not judging or becoming biased on ideas or topics they have no knowledge of or Haven to experienced. This idea about we re ail the same color Green has no significance when equal Opportunity and racism is involved because people do become biased and sometimes Blind and ignorant to the facts involved. Even though the military stresses equal Opportunity for All it Seldom lives up to its end of the bargain. Moreover the military has a diverse combination of individuals who come from different backgrounds and cultures. Therefore ihi4ftmakes this a mini melting pot and we should try to live and work in peace Harmony and As a team. A Antony Pauley shape Belgium m m hat is Quot racist ? the Clarence Thomas Anita Hill hearings in the Senate were ugly and were an outrageous use of the confirmation process for which we should hold our senators accountable. This is the Only Point with which i agree with a recent writer. Either you believe the a a judge a or the  or like me you just can to decide because there is no proof either Way is there Ever. I can handle a Ili Ference of opinion and enjoy a Good political debate however i take offence at the writer s description of the sexual harassment charges As a a stereotypical blatantly racist  is it possible for a Black to be racist toward another Black is it blatantly racist for a White woman to accuse a Black Man of sexual harassment or for a Black woman to accuse a White Man How about hispanics accusing indians and jews accusing orientals i think we be lost sight of the Issue. Is it racist for president Bush to nominate a Black conservative solely because of his race and political persuasion am i a racist because i object to the nominating of a barely qualified Black conservative to our highest court. The sept. 16 . News included quite an interesting View of Thomas As a Man who does not fit easily into any Mold a certainly not the Mold of conservative Saint martyred by Liberal inquisitors. The writer says it is immoral to make ugly accusations that slander and humiliate to further a personal political Agenda but i guess that Only applies when the accuser is a Liberal and the accused a conservative. He also left out one possible motive for Anita Hills accusation against Clarence Thomas. It might be True.

However you fail to comprehend the concept of the new Usa eur policy. By the Way it is a Usa eur policy not a a Law in your husbands  it was constructed by senior ranking leaders to give single soldiers the same privileges not rights As say the writers husband. This policy does not enable me to consume alcohol with no limitation As you say. I know How much i can and have always been Able to drink As much As i want so Long i report for duty sober. It allows me to store alcohol with no limitation. You Are Correct in saying that Many soldiers Are alcoholics. But in 31/ years of service every Case of alcohol abuse i have seen has been dealt with fairly appropriately and in a timely manner be it enrolment into the and App alcohol and drug abuse prevention and control program Ucma uniform code of military Justice action s or through the use of the chapter. At times i drink in excess of my known limits a or get drunk in other words. But before you can Call me an alcoholic you can Call me an no a Soldier of the year and a candidate for the sgt. Morales boards. Secondly How can you As a dependent say that Quot soldiers done to give a Damn about Ucma action have you Ever polished floors until 11 . For 45 Days have you Ever Given up half your pay for two months. Why must you insist on making life harder for single soldiers who have. Letters to the editor by virtue of marital status limited rights compared to those of their married counterparts one last thing i must comment on is your pushing of religion on me. I have True and great respect for your god but it an insult to me As an atheist for you to push religion on me. A Chi. William g. Semonite Kitzinger Germany fight a the real enemy in a writing in response to the letter a blasting the  i too am an animal activist. I improve our game populations but also work to ensure the game does not exceed the amount of food and cover it takes to sustain them. I despise poachers and the misuse of our country a wildlife habitat. I am a Hunter. A few years ago animal activists a a saved a Florida Deer population by stopping an out of season Hunt designed to Cut Down the Herd in an area where unexpected flooding had destroyed most of their food source. It made All the headlines. What did no to make the headlines was that Over the next several weeks More than 80 percent of that Herd starved to death. Bullets kill quickly. Starvation can take months. Hunting is a very effective game management tool. Without this game populations will simply keep increasing until they run out of food cover and habitat. When this happens overpopulation disease and mass starvation set in. . Game populations Are higher than they be been in decades. If you done to believe me take a walk through the West Virginia Foothills or stroll along the Blue Ridge mountains in Tennessee. Those animals Are there today thanks to Hunters not activists. If the activists really cared about animals they would be fighting the real enemy the destruction and loss of wildlife habitat. As an activist can you say you be actually done something to combat this i can. I give Money every year to Aid wildlife habitat. I buy a Hunting License. A spec. Jon a.
