Advertising Tel fax 06155 601412bush not to blame As 1 listen to the different candidates for president speaking about How they would improve the Economy one question comes to mind who do they think they Are every candidate is making Strong promises As if the . Government were a monarchy and the president were King. Someone needs to refer them to the Constitution. It is Clear the president has no Blank Check except to select a vice president and Send american troops to any location. So How does a president cause a recession do we expect the president to control the Economy of each state its Clear to me that America is in a recession not because the president Isnit presiding but because representatives Are not representing governors Are not governing and senators Are not voting for the Good of the nation. The founding fathers knew All too Well that the Power of government should rest in the hands of the people not the president. A sgt. Eastmond p. Buckner Frankfurt Germany on the spot discipline this is in reply to a Rod of love my children. But when you re out in Public and they misbehave you should Correct it on the spot. You should use any measure for correction that is reasonable to get the message across. When the love and caring has been shown All the talking done and the warning Given then its time for the a a Rod to do the Job of correction. Uns Poil the child. A Willie Williams Span Dahlem a German bridging racial Gap Over the past months the stars and stripes viewpoint column has been bombarded with dispute and counter dispute Over the subject of race. Through All of these disputes no solution seems to have been found the subject can be debated till the end of time simply because we arc All different. The writer of a african history disputed really impressed me with his knowledge of african history but the Only thing i gained from his article was that he a Strong in the subject of history. He showed a Lack of sensitivity and understanding on the real Issue. It was typical of the Many other letters on race which gave Little insight into this problem. Just As a tree can not grow without roots people can not grow without an understanding of where they have been. If 1 know nothing about my history How can i understand the values of family work social order love and responsibility How can i conform to the values of society or is that the idea our own uncertainties and insecurities Breed racism prejudice and ofttimes deliberate manipulation of the truth. There is a bit of racism and prejudice in each and every one of us whether we admit it or not. Unfortunately this world is becoming too Small for us to hide in Quot our neighbourhood so and Hope that we do not run into the a other so lets try to make an Effort to understand our differences and be More sensitive toward one another.

There she did no to learn anything about Black history. Here she goes to a Dodds school and she Learned quite a bit about Black history in february thanks to Black history month. By the Way our 71/2-year-old daughter asked me a few weeks ago a Why Are All the presidents in the .a. Always White a i guess a reverse discrimination Hasni to gone far enough yet. A Sonja Johnson Gellhausen Germany he feels left out regarding the article titled a let mixed couples be March 3i agree mixed couples should not be tormented. I believe today a children Are our future. On the other hand if you Are a White male you Are left out of most social circles. The american pop culture and German actually promotes Black is Beautiful rather than an equal basis. The Darker the sexier is the Standard. Here in Southern Germany mixed couples Are everywhere. Where does a White male go to meet someone Jim Hill Ansbach German some explanations i am slightly perplexed Over the writer who understand Why there is a reverse discrimination in the United states. Is it perhaps that Blacks were forced to fight for such simple rights As equal education and Job and housing opportunities the reason that Blacks have miss Black America contests is because up until the 1960s, How Many Black women were allowed to enter the miss America contest it could have very Well been called the miss White America contest. I am a High school senior and my history Book s have lacked Black history information other than slaves and the civil War it is hard to explain Why Black history month is important to most african americans perhaps it is because we have been celebrating White history accomplishments All year round. I feel distressed that people still face discrimination whether they be White Oriental hispanic Black or whatever. However racial tension is not caused by these a discrimination so it is caused by ignorance Lack of respect for others and insecurity about yourself. A Wenonah g. Wells Mannheim Germany loiter made her angry i would like to respond to the letter about a reverse the writer said that she would probably anger a lot of people and she sure is right because Reading her letter made me More than angry. What a statement a a a in a not prejudiced but a if you Arentt then Why do Black magazines and Black history month bother you i am a White German. Married to a Black Man. Our two children have to learn about their background on their dads Side just As they will learn about mine. Unfortunately most magazines Cater to White people so. There is a need for Black magazines if Black children want to read about Good role models of their own race. Also everything we learn in school is about White history my daughter went no right to abortion the supreme court announced March 5 that on april 21 it would hear arguments in planned parenthood of southwestern Pennsylvania is. Casey the next major abortion Case. Pro abortionists Are bemoaning their fear that the Case will be used by a new conservative court to take away their sacred a a rights to abortion on demand. Lets get a few things straight. First there is no constitutional right to abortion a never has been and hopefully never will be. The court did not intend to imply a constitutional right to abortion a they simply decided that a particular state Law was unconstitutional. Second a supreme court decision does not make Law. Third and most important in its original announcement that it would hear the Case the court made it Clear that they the justices would not be used by either Side of this political hot potato. The Best that lifers can Hope for and that abortionists have to fear is that the courts decision will uphold Pennsylvania a present abortion statute allowing for other states to pass their own similarly restrictive statutes.
