Airman there has been a barrage of letters to the editor comparing the congressional Check writing scandal to the airman who received six months confinement for a similar offence so Here a my unsolicited opinion. The member of Congress and the airman Are far from equal. Congressional leaders operate under democratic Rule. The airman and All others like him operate under authoritarian Rule. Members of confess have All their rights the airman voluntarily gave up his rights under the auspices of a Good order and  congressional leaders Are elected the airman a leaders Are appointed which inevitably affects the decision making process. One requires accountability to the people the other does not. One body makes Laws the other follows them. This explains Why people in Congress get raises and the mini Tail gets the Boot. The rules of Power prestige and privilege dominate society and the military is not exempt. If you want equal Justice the game must be played with equal rules and since they Are not it is unsuitable for comparison. At least with the members of Congress you la have a Chance to give them the Boot but the airman Ana others like him will always be subject to a Good order and  . Ferro Egelst Bach Germany advice to voters during this election year for the Many seats and offices in our local state and National government May i recommend that voters consider the message outlined in proverbs 28 2 a when there is moral rot within the nation its government topples easily but with honest sensible leaders there is  the magnitude of the Many scandals that have occurred at All echelons of our government financial institutions business conglomerates religious orders Community organizations police activities and National Relief agencies has Given Rise to distrust in our leaders and places a mandate on All of us to consider the Gravity of our Choice when selecting legislators officials and administrators during this very crucial election year. A James w. Thomas Frankfurt Germany Youn ters ing in response to my november let i wrote them again on feb. 7. I again yet to i know edging receipt of my letters have yet to even receive a postcard a receipt. The moral of this Story is continue keep on writing As do Many other concerned americans i read the newspaper daily and am always particularly interested in the letters to the editor Page. Several recent letters on that Page have expressed concern Over the Quality of representation or Lack thereon we Are receiving from our elected officials especially our members of Congress. We have been urged to write our legislators expressing our concerns. Just for the record and this May specifically interest fellow Alaska residents wrote Sens. Frank Murkowski and Ted Stevens and rep. Donald Young on nov. 5, 1991. I received a response from Murkowski in december wrote him again in february and promptly received another reply. After hearing nothing from Stevens and writing your elected officials. Let your voice be heard. And if they fail to reply then you can fail to re elect them. A Marjorie e.

Nelson Karlstedt Germany a e Stop before we lose More when i first read about a baby  in Haiti defrauding his country and its people 1 just passed it off As a third world occurrence. When my wife was assigned duty in the Philippines we became aware of the Marcos family. They bilked the country of billions of dollars. Again we passed it off As a third world phenomenon and used the exploits of Imelda As something to laugh about around the dinner table. And now i read about the former United Way president William Aramony and i m not laughing anymore. When i first heard Jerry Brown advocate a take Back America a i stomped my foot and said  i thought he was telling America to Stop with the foreign Aid feed our hungry our tired poor. Like most people i thought past reasonable protest i am writing in response to the article a posters target doctors who do  the subject of abortion is a very emotional one and one that perhaps has no single right answer to cover All circumstances. However i believe that the activists who harass these doctors have gone past a reasonable protest to express their feelings. Its one thing to voice your opinions but to mail posters to doctors employees neighbors and business associates is really unacceptable. It is a violation of the physicians personal and business lives. The doctors Are performing a medical service that May or May not be the right thing to do. I find it hard to believe How inconsiderate some of these activists Are to make personal phone Calls to a physicians Mother and Fiance. I am a student and i May not know a lot about this particular subject but i would Hope the people of my generation will be More considerate and thoughtful of Peoples Basic constitutional rights. A Sarah Russo London Central High school High Wycombe England a a quit the Mickey bashing recent articles have highlighted the unabated Wrath that French a a intellectuals seem to Harbor toward America or at least some aspects of american society. What is All the snobbery and whining about euro Disney has been labelled a a cultural  Mcdonald a not Only has the audacity to sell hamburgers in this land of culinary sophistication but they also even go so far As to locate one of their restaurants on the posh champs Elysses. These incredible tragedies seem to have obsessed and outraged French intellectuals to no end. Sound the alarm French society is being contaminated. Quick take Little 5-year-old Pierre to the louvre before it is too late. Obviously More is going on Here than a cheap attempt to disparage Mcdonald a and Disney.  these individuals be discussing topics among themselves like their nations increasingly diminishing importance in the world or their governments prosecution or Lack thereof of world War ii Vichy collaborators etc.? on second thought maybe Ronald Mcdonald and Mickey mouse Are More eign a our his message was to empower our people to reach Tor their Freedom with dignity. Now i believe that we should take Back America from people like William Aramony. Is the failed a amp a a symptom of one Many a greed or is Charles Keatingjr. A product of the collective a Sun conscience get Rich look Good think about yourself. If a whistle Blower a blows the whistle a drown him in bureaucracy innuendo and hard to prove accusations. When you get caught with your hand in the cookie Jar say your hand and the cookie Jar Are symbiotic. Has William Aramony jumped on this bandwagon does he believe that his position has earned him the right to shall we say a executive privilege i think As americans we pay far too much attention to the bounced checks and not enough attention to the person behind the Check. I think if we keep hating one another because of race sexual orientation religion etc., we lose. If we continue to withhold technology that will help the environment we lose.
