Native americans done to want your Honor placed upon them like a Crown of thorns. You reply its an Honor a lighten  for decades my people have said that a we do not enjoy being mascots a but its like talking to a Rock. My Home is a secluded town in the heart of the Turtle Mountain Indian reservation in North Dakota. We pay taxes and we Are tired of ail these a who Norse being placed upon  generation had nothing to do with the native american holocaust the genocide of my race. Stop feeling guilty and treat us like human beings a no better no worse equal. My ancestors possessed no More Honor bravery or skill than you or i do today. They faced desperate times and took action. We done to want you to Honor us with superhuman status when decades ago we were considered subhuman. We have ceremonies and celebrations that Honor our people just Fine without your help. If any atonement Are to be made id like the government to give us Mineral rights to our reservation lands. We be never had that  a spec. . Lafontaine Gie Belstadt Germany whereas the line a recent article in the stars and stripes by a female journalist addressed a question asked by a male Friend. He asked her where the Tine was Between flirtation and sexual harassment. I be often wondered that myself. According to random House dictionary harassment is defined As to trouble by repealed attacks incursions Etc. To disturb persistently. Persistently is defined As insistently repetitive or continuous. My Point is simple. We need to communicate better with our co workers. I feel in most cases that if an individual is offended by something someone else says or does then that person should be told on the spot. Granted there Are those who can to take a hint even if you hit them with a Brick building but in general most individuals would not say or do the same thing again. There Are those who have genuinely been harassed but could some of it have been avoided if the victim spoke up first it s a wonder that dating is still going on. How can you let someone know that you Are interested in them without seeming to come on to them of come on you say it seems that lately in be been Reading a lot about someone who is being taken to court for supposedly making sexual innuendoes toward them.

There Are a lot of arguments for both sides but the one that has been on my mind most is that of animal management. Hunters say that through the Money gained by Selling Hunting licenses the game commissions can effectively manage wildlife. Anti Hunters Point to the impeding extinction of certain supposedly a a managed species and say the Money is not Well spent. They further submit that animals have survived for thousands of years without Man s a weeding  to the anti Hunting groups Man has never populated the Earth in so Many numbers before. Never has the animals habitat been destroyed at such an alarming rate. Some form of management will be needed to prevent starvation and disease. Though we ate Quick to blame the Hunter the most self righteous of anti Hunters Are not without blame in regards to animal suffering. Everything we take for granted has been at the expense of animals. Trees Are Cut for lumber Fields Are planted for food dams Are built for Power the list goes on and on. But do we cry Down the Public utilities do we picket the contractor who builds our House Why not because the destruction of the animals habitat is not dramatic. The destruction of the snowy owl s Home will hardly get the press or your letter. There is no human drama no conflict. Yet the thought of a Man with a gun stalking the Woods will bring righteous cries of disgust and horror. What personal Cost do we pay to Stop that Man from Hunting none. To the  Hunter who portrays the game commissions As an omnipotent big brother of animals when have you Ever heard of any government Agency that has been operated correctly when have you Ever seen any form of government that did not have its fair share of corrupt officials and simpletons by claiming that Hunters promote the preservation of wildlife by purchasing licenses you take the easy Street. We absolve ourselves of any guilt we May feel for poor management of the system. When was the last time we policed our ranks How Many of us know of at least one poacher or a drunkard wearing Orange have we taken Steps As a group to Stop them. Finally to everyone we All have a rough Row to Hoe. As Long As Man kills Man Man will kill animals. As Long As we As a species continue to rape our world of resources without regard to the environment the least of our worries will be the mistreatment of animals. For both animals and Man will surely be dead. A tech sgt. Douglas a. Edwards Berlin Noire Dame is deserving after Reading a letter on College football i feel obligated to respond to the notre Dame Basher who believed the Irish should not be in a bowl game this year and Correct some of his  he stated that a every ranked team the Irish played they lost  not True. Granted notre Dame lost three games this season a to Michigan Penn St. And Tennessee ranked 4, 6, and 9 in the nation respectively. Pooh How embarrassing. Now lets consider notre Dame s nine victories three of their victims Are teams going to bowl games Stanford Indiana and air Force. Three More were ranked earlier in the season us a As High As 16, Michigan St. A As High As 18, and Pitt a which was 5-0 and 12 in the nation when the Irish Defeated them 42-7. I realize that a 9-3 record is mediocre by the great notre Dame standards. After All we be had More National championship teams eight than any other school More Heisman trophy winners seven than any other school and the highest winning percentage .759 a 701 wins 209 losses 4 ties As of today in the history of College football. Lets face it notre Dame is College football and College football is Noire Dame. A capt.
