Well if the writer has read enough 1 suggest that he Stop Reading for the problem of racism is deeply rooted in our a a free society and we can All expect to continue Reading about it for Ages to come. The writer goes on to say that he thought that the Issue of Freedom was resolved in 1865 with the abolition of slavery. The writer was mistaken. The chains that were broken in 1865 were physical ones a ones that bound Only the bodies of my forefathers. There Are however other chains a stronger chains a that continue to bind us All ones that restrict the mind and Bruise the soul. No we Are not yet free. None of us Are. The average White american probably never experiences the effects of racism. We african americans on the other hand experience them in one Way or another every Day of our american lives. The european american is Blind to the problems that african americans face and therefore cannot even begin to understand Why we stand in protest. But we have and will continue to stand As Long As racism plagues us. The gains made during the �?T50s and 60s Are the fruit of those Brave souls and Unsung american heroes who dared to stand in the face of oppression holding the Mirror of scrutiny so that All americans could see that ugly blemish called racism. Today the blemish is covered by the makeup of Leo and affirmative action programs but it is still there. And like a cancer racism will spread unless people like Arthur Fletcher and the masses who demonstrated during the �?T60s continue to fight for the America that is promised by the Constitution. One where we the people All of the people a. Black White red yellow and Brown a May secure the blessings of Liberty for ourselves and our posterity. A Napoleon h. Russ Wiesbaden German helping not hurting the belief that Money from Hunting licences is Given to wildlife managers to Quot artificially manipulate the environment is a Crock. This Money is used to restore and upgrade both wildlife and wild lands. Also a portion of the Money spent on ammunition is used for the same purposes. By purchasing Federal and state Duck Stamps which is the Taw if one wishes to Hunt migratory waterfowl Hunters help to restore not Only waterfowl populations but wetlands As Well. This contributes to the preservation of thousands of non game species. Through Hunting donations and programs such As ducks unlimited Hunters arc As a group probably the largest contributors to the preservation of our natural resources. Another myth of anti Hunters is that Hunting a degrades the Gene Pool by taking Only the Strong and the healthy. By taking Quot trophy animals a Hunter has simply taken those animals that have already passed their genes into the population. I have studied and worked in natural resource management at Texas tech University and will continue to do both after my tour with the army is completed.

Let me shed some Light. What of the Purist vegetarians Arentt they without fault How naive. The increased needs of cropland yields for human consumption greatly reduce habitat needed for the survival of Many species of animals. What about the building materials of your House the highways you travel on the Energy sources you require etc.? anti Hunting advocates Are far More responsible for the loss of wildlife than you realize or care to admit. For myself and the thousands of other conscientious outdoors men done to group us with the thoughtless greedy few. There Are More times than not that we return from the Field without firing a shot with no regret of the experience. A spec. . Barto Mainz Fin then Germany done to be ignorant the statement a taking the biggest and Best ruining the Gene Pool reflects the usual tactics of pet a telling half truths and outright lies to promote their views. When asked How much Money they Peta have spent on constructive efforts to improve habitat or help wildlife they cannot produce. Peta will not put its Money where its Mouth is. Instead of destroying personal property and telling lies Why done to they buy up tracts of habitat and put it off limits to Hunting answer a because it would Cost Money. They have no credibility. Germany has one of the Best managed game populations in the world and the Hunting program outlined in Usa eur Pam 28-148 is configured expressly to improve the game Pool and improve habitat. Are you aware of How much damage can be done to forests and crops by Over population of animals talk to foresters game biologists research the causes of animal losses. Done to be ignorant. By the Way the primary causes of animal species reductions Are exploitation for monetary gain poaching habitat destruction draining wetlands gaining cropland building housing areas fear letters to the editor dangerous animals Are killed or driven out because Man is not witling to tolerate them in close proximity and greed intolerance ranchers kill predators a wolves bears pumas a because the ranchers might lose a few head of livestock. A . Butts Kitzinger German abortion Here to stay in reference to the Reader from Niernberg who disagrees with abortions in military hospitals overseas because a your tax dollars  be used to pay for the killing of unborn children she should be aware that if the 1988 Pentagon decision to forbid abortions should be revised the patient would most Likely pay for the abortion herself anyway. However i see a problem with that. For example if a 17-year-old student became pregnant she probably  be Able to come up with the Money to have the abortion in the first place. Now we have another High school dropout who will be living on food Stamps or welfare and the taxpayers Money for years to come. A if abortions weren to allowed pregnant women would find a doctor elsewhere. For example one can have an abortion in the Netherlands which is Only a few hours away. People can be very resourceful in stressful situations. Abortion has been around thousands of years. Simply forbidding it or making it a criminal offence will never Stop it. What it will do is Force women to submit to unsafe and very dangerous procedures. Everybody talks about the endanger ment of the baby a life. Who talks about the woman a life is that Worth anything anymore or do we have to go Back to the wire Hanger abortion i Hope not. A a.
