Uin his letter the a writer refers to the a a military free health care . No Bills to pay. Maybe that was True at one time but it s not the Case anymore in a not knocking champs civilian health  program of the Uris formed service but has he used it lately champs is not free. But never mind champs. I went to the army Hospital in Niernberg for a Short term surgical procedure that lasted maybe 20 minutes. However the admission and associated paperwork tasted close to an hour during the admission process 1 was told i had to pay a $4.75 fee and that this fee was for processing paperwork that s the first time i have Ever encountered a fee like that at a military Hospital in the 8v4 years i have been in the army.

Page went to great lengths explaining his viewpoint on Cincinnati reds owner Marge Schott a verbal racism and ethnic  his message was hostile and biting. Too Many people hide behind the first amendment and Page certainly is using it to its fullest where else could one say that an individual is a a disgrace to the human race and allude to the fact that a. Person is a a trash is this not a a a racial so urn the highest form Schott openly apologized for using her Mouth and not her heart when she said the a a no word and the a  word. Are we to punish her by banishing her from base Bah do we take away her ownership rights do we make her the Scapegoat for All society Schott is a a feisty old Broad a by her own admission but i doubt if she would make an Issue of being matted feisty old or a Broad. A. Page also mentioned the a a Campanis mess. Why not the a Jimmy the greek Quot mess or How about the a Jackie Robinson Quot mess i m sure there Are thousands of other messes wed like to forget. Yes Schott was wrong but not a a Dis. Grace to the human  Page is just As  get on with learning How to live in peace and Harmony and Stop looking for someone else to blame. As my father once said a let he who has not sinned cast the first  Earl h. Thorpe  Germany i a a legislating morality although 1 agree with the writer of a a Falwell a moral majority a . 10 that the name a moral majority might imply to things he mentioned it certainly cannot be compared with the nazi party. However the greatest error in the writers reasoning comes when he tries to is tence the moral majority so big guns in the name of the principle of the separa ton of Church and state. Nowhere in our government is there any principle that forbids political or religious lobbying. This is our right in a free society. Would the writer Grant this right to Only those groups which he personally agrees with. In reference to the writer saying that people should not be forced to behave through government legislation if he would Stop and think a minute he would see that government has and always will legislate morality. Finally the writer attempts to eliminate the moral majority in one intellectual blow by simply stating that the moral majority cannot be a a a majority because the a a majority voted for Clinton whose announced policies were in opposition to the moral majority. With this Fine of Rea sonic the writer has brought out his ing toward her students. Mrs. Mood goes Otto intellectual Quot big  too bad they out other Way to help us.
