Ets 348 6349 advertising Tel fax 06155-601412 done to switch now i would like to talk about president Bush a state of the Union address the Economy. I watched the president on to. Yes he a done very Well with world affairs yes he has to a de ree ignored Domestic issues. And yes e will now address the problem due to the election year. I also saw the new poll lbs did right after the address practically everybody was unhappy. Now i will not sit Here try to lie to you Tell you that i understood everything he said but nevertheless its a plan. Nobody likes it but to be honest most americans do not have a Choice. If Bush is Defeated out of office the new president will have to draw up the final touches of his plan go through All the press hoopla Public opinion then try to get his proposals through Congress. While All of this is happening people Are still losing jobs Homes wondering How they will survive. Our president has what he thinks is a solution. Its already in Congress. Whether americans like or dislike or. Bush they have to go along for now to help this country get Back on its feet. The election of a new president would Only drag out this recession too Many people businesses would be damaged a some beyond repair. A Miguel Antonio Quiros Stuttgart Germany a a a buy american myth a buy american emerged from the last recession was not started by american workers trying to save their jobs. It was started by big . Companies trying to stay in business at the expense of the american consumer. They wanted americans to buy . Goods that at the time were inferior to imported goods at a higher Cost. They let the Quality go Down thinking that the buying Public was stupid. When imported goods proved to Cost less last longer they got into trouble. The businesses started to improve their products to provide them at lower prices. They also started an Campaign that relied on people being Gullible a buy in fact i bought a new car from Gumc last May. Now Gumc has announced plans for cutting Back Over 100,000 jobs. I did no to save one Job for the working class american by buying from one of the a big several people i know bought new cars from Japan America. Yes the automakers in Japan have created a lot of new jobs in our country Over the last decade a More than Gumc fac molar All together. Now we can help the american work Force i done to care about the companies get a Quality product at the same time. Buy for yourself. Money does no to go very far today All of us have to do the Best that we can. If we All buy the Best product for the Mone we have to spend the . Manufacturers will compete very hard to produce it beat out everyone else. But if we buy because of where it comes from the . Company will Cut Corners rely on stupidity to keep them in Large profits. A Richard Kodack Bamberg Germany recognize contributions. ,. Its funny that i watch to read the newspaper i have yet to hear or read anything that a Black person wrote that denies any contributions that the White race has produced. 1 read the recent letter the writer admitted that a your country up until recently has wrongfully omitted the Many contributions made by those of african decent. Now to me it would have been advantageous to write about some of that missing history that Blacks have contributed but no the writer goes on to say that a a today a afro Centre its Are completely rewriting it to suit their ideological the idea that ancient Egypt was ruled by Black pharaohs the Birthplace of math science the oldest human remains found was of a Black Many so these a a ideas did no to come from afr centrists but from Well known anthropologists archaeologists who were White. By the Way february is Black history month i suggest you go to the Library to read up on some of the history that a your country has wrongfully omitted. A airman 1st class Calvin d.

David Allison Kaiserslautern Germany a civilizations origins i read this paper for its excellent world news coverage. 1 must that the Freedom of speech allowed the readers is excellent. So now it is my turn to dispute a letter Jan. 22 that was capable of validating age old racist lies that still plague our history books today. So Here a some Black history. The Cradle of civilization is somewhere Between Tanzania Egypt. The oldest human fossils to Date were found there. These people were considered to be original Man resemble people we now Call Black. The Days of keeping our history covered up in the conspiracy of silence Are Over. I just could not let this slip by a especially not during Black history month. I suggest some open minded Reading. Try before the Mayflower by Lerone Bennett or. Carter g. Woodson wrote a Book too the mis education of the negro. Compare the holy Koran the Bible they both contain information verifying each other. Here Are a few of the great Black civilizations you can study Egypt from 3000 to . 300, Ghana from 700 to 1200, Kanem born from 800 to 1850, Mali from 1200 to 1500, Songhai from 1350 to 1600. And just recently Zimbabwe from 1400 to 1800, As America was just beginning to grow. Do i sound like an afr centrist no. I am just a Young Man from a family of educators. 1 was taught to read for the facts from Many different sources. Come to think of it who says that saudi Arabia is in Southwest Asia look at a map it is really Northeast Africa. There is a drive to write history books truthfully. I realize that it will take some of the glory from certain people that do not want the truth known. There Are Many races in the world each one has a history. The world has evolved As a result of All races not just the ones currently with the most political Power. A spec. Stanley Ward Wilkerson Pir Masens Germany not buying rape theory while serious research on Why men rape feb. 10 is Long overdue the specific theories put Forth to define justify rape Are often too simplistic fall grossly Short of a workable solution that would Render women Safe. The author would have us believe that a rapists often recall being intensely angry depressed or feeling worthless for Days or even months leading up to the rape a if i was ignorant of history i might be duped to believe him. During the destruction of matriarchal society rape was commonly used even condoned As an effective weapon against the control Power of women. During wars rape of the enemy a women if Lucky Young daughters was understood often ritualized As a sacred right. Simply speaking rape has been an acceptable even initiatory Quot rights of men in maintaining their Hegemony Over women. .1 can assure you if More severe penalties were extracted for the brutal crime of rape Many of these a uncontrollable urges would dissipate overnight or at least be re channelled.
