What about the United states what about All the hungry people and children Back Home not to mention the people in the armed forces All Over the world the dining facility must throw away unused items instead of giving it to people who really need it. Why Are we taking care of everyone else and letting our own children go to bed hungry a Susan Hobbs Heilbronn Germany$1 billion would far 1 would like to respond to the writer who wrote Ghoul America s foreign Aid. He mentioned that foreign Aid is such a Small portion of Congress budget. He asks what would $1 billion do for 5 million unemployed people have you Ever been hungry of yes most employers fire employees who Aren t Able to do their jobs. Well or. President Congress has t done their Job. Take away their Cheek books and give them to some new people who know How to budget and quit giving themselves raises every other year. A b. War Cham Heilbronn German americans need help this is in response to the letter about . Foreign Aid is. Domestic spending. Have you Ever been unemployed or even just a poor Quot from your letter i  think so. Did you Sec the picture in the recent stars and stripes of a Man willing to work for baby formula the $200 could do a great Deal for that Man and his family. To a family that has nothing a Mere $200 can make All the difference in the world such As will they even eat that night. I understand How important the benefits of foreign Aid Are especially to a superpower country like Russia but Arentt our people just As or More important i also understand the problem of unemployment is too Large for a a Small Bandage Quot but As with All Complex problems there Are no easy solutions but a a Small Bandage Quot for the american people is better than no Quot Bandage Quot at All. A Kris Ann Kolz Raf Alconbury  old spanking i could not help but respond to the writer of Quot child a self esteem  undoubtedly the question of Corporal punishment is a divisive and probably unsolvable one but my attention was drawn to the paragraph linking Corporal punishment of a child to a life of crime. Although i am not questioning the child a loss of self esteem due to Corporal punishment i must disagree emphatically with the generalization that spanking Quot May Lead to prostitution crime and mental illness. Sweeping generalizations Are an easy and flawed method of supporting arguments not unlike spanking it seems but they do not in fact support them. Could not one following this line of reasoning assume that denying your child anything even a Brand new ear they May want Lowers their self esteem would this then Lead to a life of crime one must be careful using generalizations they have in the past been used for much More sinister and dangerous elements to support their actions. When debating a Point it is imperative that the use of unsubstantiated generalizations does not ruin an otherwise very Good argument. By the Way i have served 14 years in the military am presently pursuing a University degree am not a prostitute or drug addict and i was spanked As a child when i deserved it.

Just for the record sure. We lived in air conditioned tents. Unlike some of the people i know who were in saudi and lived in hard billets i got to live in a tent with about 15 other people. Lets not even mention the communal showers latrines Etc. And when the average daily temperature was More than lit degrees How Cool were those tents when the generators failed and where did you come up with the alcoholic beverages in silo i if you got caught with just a Beer you could count on at least an article 15. Even after we redeployed to in Ciurlik Turkey no air conditioned tents then by the Way just cup. Mediums the battalion commander forbade drinking. As far As using Auto on and email that was available to everyone in Southwest Asia not just to provide Comfort. I work in a tech control where All the Auto on circuits pass through and since i installed some of these Auto on lines. Know that the people in saudi Arabia weren t going without  and if people got Quot thousands of dollars in try pay a where the Heck is mine i got every bit of $3.50 a Day in silo i. I guess that show i could afford All that travel and shopping you mentioned. I got to go to Serenk Zakhoo and Mihok Iraq and silo i a you know All the big tourist spots. Now on the flip Side How Many parades have there been for provide Comfort i Haven to been asked to be in any no Large crowds at the Airport either. We also get to Pul up with people thinking we did less just because we weren to  part of the problem with the world today is All the people whining and co letters to the editor planning about who has More than they do. The troops in desert storm had a Job to do and they did it. Those of us in provide Comfort had a Job to do and we did it. Whether you were helping to liberate a country from an occupying army or helping keep thousands of people from starving to death Isnit about Money. Its about helping your fellow Man. But i guess you done to think about concepts like that when you re too Busy worrying about what someone else has. A tech. Sgt. Mark Conrad Ramstein a German afro can Irish beliefs due to a technical malfunction of the electronic editing system several sentences of the following letter did not appear when it originally ran wednesday. The letter is being repeated in full. A editor ill be the first to admit that up until recently our country had wrongfully omitted the Many contributions made by those americans of Black african descent. But rather than fill in the missing pages of history today a afro centrists arc completely rewriting it to suit their ideological passions. For example two of the heretofore unknown a a facts they be unearthed is that the ancient egyptians were really Black and Africa is the Birthplace of math and science because it is the Birthplace of the human race another Cornerstone of this new thinking is that Whites Are the wellspring of suffering and oppression and nothing Good has come from Jamestown the War for Independence the Alamo and anything Central to the american experience. A Nice people a As afro centrism a Premier bigot a professor Leonard Jeffries of City College of new York a Calls us White Folk Are the bitter enemies of people of color everywhere. First of All while the ancient egyptians were not Blond haired and Blu eyed nordic types they were nonetheless caucasian. In their own Art they depict themselves As such. Cite the following As a few of the Many examples which All disprove the afro centrists the bust of Nefertiti drawings of a Light skinned King tutankhamen the mask from his Tomb the famous a squatting scribe sculpture the statue of Ramses ii and the mummified remains of the pharaohs themselves. And Here a another Little secret the discovery and settlement of the United states by europeans was the Best thing that Ever happened in America the simple fact that millions of non europeans have chosen the Usa a and not Haiti or some other poorly run impoverished third world country a As their new Home proves my Point that does no to mean that genuine contributions of other cultures and races ought to be ignored which in some cases they have been. But it does mean that afro centrists should impart the truth and not proselytize views based on myth or Wishful thinking. A capt. Mark e.
