European Stars and Stripes (Newspaper) - January 22, 1992, Darmstadt, Hesse                                # l v a Ann Landers dear Ann Landers while our family was living in new York the children attended a Public school in a Middle class neighbourhood. They were beaten up and robbed so Many times they were afraid to leave the House. Finally i decided to keep them Home and teach them myself. This worked out very Well. My children were much happier and they Felt secure. I was a Tough taskmaster and they Learned a lot. After the first year City officials informed me that i could not continue to keep my children out of school. They said a private school was a Legal alternative. Unfortunately i could not afford the tuition. I then moved to Boston. Again in a Middle class neighbourhood my children were beaten up and robbed not Only on the streets but also in the school Halls. 1 decided to keep them Home after i discovered that one of my sons was carrying a knife to defend himself. After several months i gave up. Half the kids in that school carry guns. There were several shootings a two of them fatal. This time i moved my kids to Canada where the gun Laws Are much stricter. No school anywhere is perfect these Days but in Canada i do not fear for the lives of my children every time they walk out of the House. The pro gun lobbyists in the United states have helped make life impossible for peace Loving citizens. A person can buy a gun As easily As he or she can buy a pack of cigarettes. Television programs show every kind of violence imaginable and it is made to look exciting and Manly. If there Are any parents left in the United states who care about the future of their children my advice is to insist that Public schools Check All students for weapons on a daily basis and demand that american television dear Abby dear Abby i have a 6-year-old daughter. She is a Beautiful child. A an Gie has. Long Blond hair and Beautiful sky Blue eyes. She was born with a Brownish Birthmark Over one Eye and Down her Cheek. I do not consider her a a disfigured in fact when i look at Angie i done to even see the Birthmark. I find it very distressing when people react to the Birthmark instead of to the person. Strangers will grab Angies Chin and turn her face asking a what s wrong with your face a Abby there is nothing wrong with her face. She is Beautiful and we have taught her that god gave her this Birthmark to draw attention to her Beautiful Blue eyes. It is too bad More people can to look beyond the surface and see the person within. In this Day of diets and plastic surgeries we seem to have lost respect for nature and reality. Wednesday january 22, 1992 be cleaned up. What a disgrace that i had to leave the country in order to find peace of mind. No longer afraid in Toronto dear Toronto surely there Are not gun carrying kids in every school in new York and Boston. Could you not have moved to another neighbourhood its truly an outrage that there Are guns in any schools. Does this have to be id like to hear from some principals and superintendents around the country. Are there guns in your school what can be done about it dear Ann Landers in a a government employee who has worked in this office a Short time so i done to know everyone by name yet. A pleasant Young woman Here asked me to sign a Large glittery homemade birthday card. 1 thought she was collecting signatures for someone s birthday so 1 signed it. She then pointed to the card and said a you can tape your Dollar right  i saw where others had done so and reluctantly took a Dollar out of my Wallet and taped it to the card which said a Happy birthday Lisa a although i had no idea who a Lisa a was. I then asked a who is Lisa a she said smiling a a in a Lisa a i was so burned up i did no to say another word a just walked away. Now in a sorry i did t rip my Dollar Bill off the card and take it with me. Have you Ever heard of this gimmick before ? Panhandle in Baltimore dear Panhandle How Tacky. For a few measly dollars that woman has ruined her reputation with everyone in that office. She must have Popcorn where her brains belong. C creators Syndicate inc. Never have we considered any Type of surgery to remove Angies Birthmark. She is not harmed by it in any Way. The harm is from Well meaning people who want to a a comforts me and her. Any remarks about surgery to a a fix her face Are demeaning to her As if she is not Good enough the Way she is. People should realize its what son the inside not the outside a that counts.
