A John Pete Jennings High Wycombe England a nets ravage sea life regarding Kara Baers letter a help save dolphins a april 19i thank her for her environmental concerns and for giving us the addresses where we too May write letters of protest against the use of nets to catch tuna these nets also catch injure and kill dolphins among Many other creatures. According to the sea Shepherd log Aries newsletter april 1992 a the Drift nets Are continuing to kill hundreds of thousands of Marine mammals and turtles and millions of seabirds each year. These so called incidental kills Are Mere cast off casualties of this deadly fishing Industry. The final strip mining rape of the seas is in full every letter counts and its important to make one s protest known to those who have the Power to change the situation. A Alessa Foster Bundlach Germany a Money and divorce this is in response to letters on the uniformed services former spouses Protection act. The spa was passed in september 1982 effective feb. 1, 1983 to protect deserving divorced spouses of military members. Prior to its enactment there was no Federal authority authorizing states to award property interests in military pay. The spa created a new Legal doctrine by inserting the Federal government into a Legal process historically reserved for the states. Rep. Patricia Schroeder d-colo., and others in Congress who passed the Law Are conveniently not subject to it. The spa is based on a flawed concept of military pay As a pension and therefore As property that can be divided. However Federal statutes and Case Law have consistently regarded military retired pay As reduced compensation for reduced services with no attributes of a pension. This position has also been taken by the department of defense irs and . Bankruptcy courts. In the Mccarty Case of the supreme court it was ruled that retirement pay was not Community property neither was it a pension. It stated further that retirement pay belonged solely to the person receiving it. There a a widespread misconception that the spa superseded the Mccarty ruling and that the supreme court interpretation of retirement pay is null and void. That is not so. Unlike former spouse programs for the . Foreign service and the Cla the spa currently makes no provision to terminate Ben efts upon remarriage. Proposed legislation or 2200, would rectify that. Its time that second families Are treated fairly. The Pursuit to Reform the spa is based on a platform of equity for both members of any military marriage ending in divorce. Divorce settlements should be based on Merit need and ability to pay not on greed.

And although i do believe that our country has serious troubles my Job is to take care of soldiers. Sometimes it is not easy but most times it is very rewarding. Amid All the talk of Congress race relations draw Down etc., something hit me today. It was on a leave and earnings statement. On it soldiers were reminded that those eligible for food Stamps should see their representative. I am totally embarrassed. Embarrassed that elected officials such As rep. Patricia Schroeder a Colo done to spend their time getting my soldiers decent wages instead of bouncing checks and extolling the Virtues of lesbians. When is the last time a member of Congress had to get food Stamps after collecting his or her $8,000 monthly Check lets spend our time helping our soldiers and others less fortunate than us. -1st it Kelly b. Larson Kaiserslautern Germany 9 9racism�?Ts new look to the writer who is a tired of the whining and complaining Quot of those who have been discriminated against yes Virginia there is still racism in America. It has changed its appearance and thus its not easily seen by the naive. Rarely is it seen today As an uneducated pot bellied White Southern sheriff spouting racial epithets. Now it wears a suit and tie or skirt and Tennis shoes lives in the Comfort of affluent monochrome suburban neighbourhoods and works in Ivory towers of managerial or political leadership. Unemployment among native americans ranges Between 50 percent and 80 percent. African american unemployment is twice the National average. For hispanics its three times the National average. But who does the hiring the top fifth of american family receives More than 40 percent of total family income. Who Are these people do hey believe in a True Equality Quot even though this would Lead to greater Competition for the mid and upper income positions they hold most americans agree that education is important the Cornerstone of an individuals future Job opportunities yet we continue to fund education locally instead of nationally. Should inner cite schools be As Modem and Welt staffed As suburban ones who gets to decide Virginia done to believe those who claim that racism and discrimination Are dead a these people Are usually White wealthy or both and hardly in a position to know. A Jonathan Davis berlin99curtains for a Good thing consider a Community sponsored activity that allows preteens and teens to work together with adults on an equal footing to produce a product that is cheered by the Community for its excellence. Consider that participants in this activity regardless of age learn to Trust respect and depend on each other while enjoying themselves. Consider an activity that teaches valuable life skills such As Public speaking while participants Are exposed to one of our richest Ait forms. Suppose this activity required participants old and Young to read to memorize to exercise to learn music and to bring All this together in a mutually supportive team Effort. Sound Good Frankfurt has such an activity. Its Well supported and even makes Money. Its called the Frankfurt Community theater and new they want to shut it Down. Pity. A Robert m. Bransford Burtonwood England a a a better Drivers no Way with regard to the letter a German Drivers better May 8i have to wonder in what parallel universe the writer drives. In a not familiar with any autobahn except maybe a-6s Between Landau East and Landau West where a one passes swiftly and gets Back into the right Lane a and that a because Only about 20 cars a Day travel on that autobahn. There a no Way to ensure that you Are not flashed at tailgate or otherwise inconvenienced. I done to know about the writer but in a tired of having huge automobiles hanging about 4 inches off my Back bumper As in a going the recommended maximum Speed of 130 Kph while passing several trucks doing 120 Kph. They always seem to want your insignificant Auto out of their Way As soon As possible even though they can see you still have a couple More trucks to pass. These intimidation tactics Are All too common and not confined to Only German driven you know who you Are. Yes German driven Are predictable. Eight out of 10 Are in the left Lane trying to pass a bus and the bus is winning because the car in front is a Traci.
