Its time to take notice that we Are being bombarded by uncontrolled Public pornographic music More often than you can imagine. My family and i have visited various cafes facilities within Germany Over the past six months and find the problem is widespread. It s obvious no one takes the time to Monitor music being played for customers shopping in numerous cafes facilities. Too Many times sexually explicit lyrics Are heard in the music being passed on to us and our children during visits to the Exchange sports store sight and sound to name Only a few locations. With today a music no details Are left to the imagination. Many of us will not allow such music in our Homes yet we go to the stores and have no Choice what we and our families must hear. Its time to fight Back. Voice your opinion and lets protect our families and friends. Cafes i Challenge your leadership to add Quality control to the sound Waves of All facilities under your control. A Sec. Gary w. Thorpe Heidelberg Germany living wage necessary i must disagree with a recent writer s opinion on Dac department of the army employment in Europe. Any Job carries with it a moral and ethical obligation on the part of the employer to pay a living wage not including the perceived Benefit of a spouse. That goes for Alt employment with the possible exception of time spent in training or apprenticeship. Income that constitutes a living wage can be debated and is not the object of this letter. However for civilians working in Europe for . Forces that would usually include a support package As few Are paid enough to pay the High costs of living in Europe. The Impact is higher compensation for those in a family member Quot positions Many of the Naf positions Burger King etc., and higher Cost of goods and services to All. The writers solution is Only valid if people Are paid a living wage. A Nathan r. Keith Wurzburg Germany make better products of those you surveyed for a recent sundays a a feedback Page 87 percent responded Quot yes to the limitation of japanese products sold in the United states. Limiting the entry of foreign products onto . Soil is a Short term narrow minded solution that can Only bring economic disaster in the future. The protectionist tariffs launched prior to the great depression of the 1930s Are proof enough of How protectionism can further weaken a flagging Economy. These people Are suggesting what that the japanese open their markets to the United states so that we can Supply them with cars that Are too big mechanically unreliable poor on Gas mileage and have the steering column on the wrong Side we cannot penetrate japanese markets or for that matter the worlds if we continue to produce second rate goods. The problem will continue to Worsen so Long As we keep looking for Quick fixes and neglecting education. The United states ranks at the Bottom of industrialized countries in math and science yet spends nearly the most on education. Something is wrong Here. Changeling our finest Young minds into Law political science and management degrees is eroding our Industrial base the sole provider of our economic wealth. The japanese graduate one lawyer for every 10 engineers in the United states it is reversed. It shows. It is hard to believe americans Are capitulating in the face of foreign Competition. Americans Are the Best workers in the world bar none. Getting our collective selves in gear will prove that but it can Only come from the top. And at present it is our leadership which hurts us most.

It was a very Good movie but i did no to enjoy it. Why not because a woman decided to bring her baby to see this movie. It cried throughout the film disturbing everyone and making us All wish we Hadnot come. The same thing has happened almost every time in be seen a movie at a military theater. In a considering giving up on seeing movies and waiting instead until they come out on videotape. I would like to know Why parents bring babies and Small children to movies. Can you not afford a baby Sitter for those two hours do you have no friends who could watch your kids while you go to the movie is seeing the movie so important to you that you have to ruin it for everyone else who goes maybe some parents will Wake up soon and realize that leaving kids at Home instead of dragging them to movies with you would make a lot of people much happier. A Mani Leigh Decker Vaihinger German food for thought in reference to the article a did Cavemen live in nutritional Golden age Quot done to count me among the followers of the diet the writer proposes based on game and fish. Wild animals when hunted Are under a stress that forces them to excrete noxious hormones that Are passed on to the Consumers. Gout uric acid cancer and cardiovascular infirmities Are related to meat ingestion. Furthermore if the Caveman had no fire and his Teeth and gastric acids were not designed to tear and digest meat Desmond Morris the naked ape How have anthropologists arrived at the conclusion that the Caveman hunted for food even for clothing in Spain the men depicted in the Altamira and alpe a caves Are quite obviously naked proving together with the seeds found that Europe had a much warmer climate than today where fruits shoots and tender roots would be abundant. Would t he simply Hunt for sport letters to the editor intensive Battery farming forces hens to Lay almost an egg a Day the Shell is so thin that germs go freely through it we know what Salmonella is in Spain Trust me. They have nothing in common with a free Range eggs a where hens arc raised like in Olden times out in the open pecking Al Worms seeds and grains. One can hardly find More harmful eatables than marinated or smoked foods. If he wants to live a Lite longer he better change to a healthy vegetarian diet. A Miguel a. Rodriguez Torrejon a Spain not the land of the fee user fees arc just another masqueraded tax. If it sounds like a fee and costs like a fee it must be a a a tax As Dan rather would phrase it. Many . Airports Are seeking permission to charge travellers an a Airport user  this is blatant user entrapment. The United states is beginning to look like some european countries that itemize tax their citizens for just about everything they do. Remember Quot no taxation without  America is supposed to be the land of the free not the land of the fee. A Jose m. Pulido Mercado Raf upper Heyford England just the facts 1 am writing in reference to the letter a afr centrist  the writer made a grave error when he said that we include ideas in our history to make up for what is not known. The definition of negro in the dictionary is people of Darker skin tone. Well if King Tut was of a a Light skin and not White then by Golly 1 think you be helped us fill in another part of our history not Only omitting the fact that the Sun is not scarce in Egypt.
