To Date women have shown that they can perform As competently on the Job As their male counterparts. To is written in the . Constitution that All men Are created equal. A a men is a generic term meaning men and women. The United states cannot keep a citizen from voting because of ones sex. Women Are receiving the same education As men. Mentally they Are just As capable As their male counterparts. Physically women Are generally weaker than men although one can find women who Are stronger than some men. Today one hears a lot about equal rights for men and women. What is often forgotten is that with those fights come responsibilities. So if a woman cannot perform As required in her Job she should be fired just As quickly As an incompetent Man. All this proves is that women Are As equal As men. Women should not be discriminated against if they can accomplish their jobs. If a person can perform a Job he or she should be hired no matter what that persons gender is. A Alexander Lovasz Raf High Wycombe England leave Issue in closet rep Pat Schroeder d-colo., is at it again and i find it appalling. I Feci she is carrying it too far in her attempts at her own Brand of sexual Justice. The fact that homosexuals Are banned from the military stands today As it has in the past and with Good reason. Granted it is blatant discrimination on the basis of sexual preference. But if i had a heterosexual working for me who flaunted his Brand of sexuality the Way Many homosexuals do 1 would probably ask him to seek employment elsewhere. While serving in Berlin six years ago i had the Opportunity to work with a person who was a homosexual. He was a Good Soldier and a Nice person. However he continually avoided aids testing. His secret came to tight when he came Down with aids. This created considerable concern since the men had done intravenous infusion training with him in the past. He had jeopardized each person with whom he worked during that training. Can we please be real and get Down to some serious issues like feeding and housing the homeless or world peace i for one would prefer that Pat Schroe Der quit trying to make a name for herself and leave this Issue in the bedroom closet where it truly belongs. A Elijaki a Murphy Stuttgart Germany a letter was inflammatory i am shocked. Whereas 1 can certainly understand stars and stripes support of our first amendment right to Freedom of speech i am appalled that this 50-year-old Standard bearer of journalism at its finest would print such an inflammatory and irresponsible slab of demagoguery As the letter a armed citizens needed May 21. How could you publish such a rambunctious Call to arms atop the ashes shattered dreams shed blood and rampant fear and paranoia in the aftermath of the  Angeles riots precipitated indeed by a travesty of Justice do two wrongs make a right the stars and stripes should be severely reprimanded by the responsible authorities for publishing a armed citizens needed in the midst of a military Community that needs that kind of thinking like a mule needs a Bullet in the head.

Specifically i applaud you for the unique insight your article presented on our military. Never before have 1 read an article that so aptly captured the inner Workings of our military institution. By putting into words what most military members experience on a daily basis you quantify our plight and remind All of us we Are not alone. A tech. Sgt. James r. Britt Lindsey air station Germany a a paying for others babies i am responding to the political commentary a Quayle throws to baby out with Bath water May 26. It May be important to make a statement about single mothers but vice president Dan Quayle probably chose the worst possible Opportunity. Lets keep All this in perspective. Fur Phy Brown is very Good entertainment. Most people done to run out and pattern their lives after a to show. There a another Point to be made Here. The difference Between an Independent single woman and a woman on welfare is this an Independent single woman pays for the rearing of her child or children herself. The rearing of a welfare woman a children is paid for by you and me the american taxpayers. Therefore we do have the right to say something about it. Another important difference Between these two groups of women is for the Independent single woman the presence or absence of a father is More than Likely her decision. For the welfare woman the presence or absence of a father is most Likely the father s decision. Women who Are at or near the poverty line would much rather have the emotional and financial support of a husband something they View much More As a necessary ingredient to a family than the Independent single woman. 1 am married 29 years old and i have no children yet. That a my Choice. I want to wait until my husband and i can afford to raise our children the Way we think children should be raised. That too is our Choice. But a Large portion of my tax dollars goes to pay for the raising of other Peoples children. That a not my Choice and i resent it. Although i am  Choice i do not advocate the widespread use of abortion. Better education and birth control Are the answers. If you can to afford to raise your children married or single the morally Correct course of action should be birth control. A sgt. Barbara e.

Then reality hit making me yearn for a decipherable phone Bill stating a we appreciate your  i Long for courteous fellow shoppers who done to wage hand to hand combat in the checkout line. Of to have Home mail delivery instead of Mai room pickup hours convenient Only to the postal employees. I can to wait to make an appointment with a medical provider who has a list of charges instead of a Flat $72 fee and does no to keep his patients waiting for hours. For a Small monthly charge i can receive any and All to channels that give every conceivable opinion without slanted biased or censored reporting. Imagine ordering any kind of meal 24 hours a Day every Day with unlimited beverage refills. And buying milk in gallon jugs that does no to sour after Only two or three Days. So Many movies offered at several showings a Day every Day. Warming the House at the touch of a Finger and having Walls that done to sweat and mildew year round. American convenience. I realize europeans enjoy checking out their neighbourhoods but its darned miserable getting eaten alive by the native insects coming through unscreened windows. America Here i come to the land of every conceivable Freedom. I can to imagine Ever moving away again. In be been exposed to More than 10 european cultures and there a no comparison to the .a.

This playhouse has done wonderful work since in be been in Europe 14 years. I even now travel two hours to see a play. That show Good they Are. If elected president  Ross Perot be interested to know that we have Many Many High salaried is and pm employees duplicating one another a work within the various ass area support groups whose salaries could certainly help operate the playhouse and other worthwhile morale welfare and recreation activities throughout Germany. In a sure these paper pushers add millions to the budget and lots of red tape and time to the lower ranking who really do the work within the mar organizational umbrella.
