Docs the Good Rev. Waldmann Bohn really believe there Are no segments of society that Are More deserving of her help when was her last visit to an orphanage refugee Center or children a Hospital Ward these prisoners however arc by no Means forgotten. The . Embassy and consulates officials visit americans in jail As part of their official duties. And if these Law Breakers find some aspects of prison life unpleasant then maybe it will Speed up their rehabilitation. Isnit it amazing that a drug producing country like Turkey has Only eight americans incarcerated compared to Germany a 201? if you be Ever seen the inside of a turkish prison or just seen the movie Midnight a Russ you a know Why. A. In a not suggesting that prisoners be treated humanely but seeing a prison with a higher Standard of Liv on of the 6 by 12-foot cells at the German prison in Butzbach. Sis Jim Derheim ing than Many countries must have nals who abuse the rights and privileges helped to convince a a Barbara that the of a free society and thereby continue to prisoners Are being treated right.

The a self proclaimed bib ask base support battalion area support group Deputy installation coordinators. These Are the people who have absolutely nothing better to do than sit behind their personal computers or typewriters at Home or at work and submit letter after letter to. The command sections no matter How trivia the Content of the complaint. They come from every status but particularly from individuals who feel they Are on higher plateau by virtue of their sponsor s rank. Some even go As far to voice their grievances to the local government whenever it does no to pertain to the military installations. I propose a Wake up Call to All soldiers and self proclaimed coordinators. If spouses have nothing better to do than perpetually complain about minute problems in the bib ask then perhaps sponsors should take in the entire picture and evaluate whether these actions hamper their career enhancement or stature. To All self proclaimed Deputy installation coordinators pics if you must exert your Energy by complaining about exaggerated situations perhaps you should seek recognition by volunteering in one of the Many organizations in your Community. Although you Are entertainment for some of us you need not be an object of ridicule for All of us. A Glen Peckinpaugh Augsburg Germany a birth Choice a right l have let Many letters that have deserved a response go unanswered but the letter Quot think of the child . 12must be responded to. If the writer chooses not to have an abortion that is her right. Nobody has the right to say that any woman must have the baby. 1 personally made the Choice to give a child up for adoption but after going through the stress of childbirth i realize not All women have the emotional stability to do the same. I considered an abortion but decided to give the child up for adoption. Until ail lifers take every unwanted crack addicted his positive mentally or physically deformed baby into their Homes for Hie rest of their lives they have absolutely no authority to control a woman a body. A airman 1st class Jenifer sury Ramstein a Germany unwavering on Gay a sin so now in a a bigot. A few years ago some labelled me As sexist and now i see an apparent growing number accuse me of bigotry. I heard it most recently from a Gay school teacher in new York City who was on can headline news recently. Why because i will pot waiver in my belief that homosexuality is. A sin and As such is dead wrong. Feminists have Long labelled me sexist for believing the a right to choose is nothing More than legalized murder. Now a seemingly Ever growing number of humanists accuse me of prejudice. Of How subtly the evil forces cast their corrupt influence upon our world.

Never learn from history sin is not new and homosexuality is no exception. Indeed As for Back As the amp Book of genesis in the old testament Man regressed to Point of practising this blatant sin. You May be familiar with this segment of our worlds history it was recorded in a place called Sodom. While its True that sin is sin it appears that when any nation regressed to the Point of tolerating blatant homosexual relationships it snowballs on its path to ultimate destruction. In a afraid that a where our country is headed even now. So president elect Clinton is probably just a Pawn in the hand of either god or satan depending on your perspective. Or is he do we have any say is it too late for us to turn from our path of apparent annihilation will allowing homosexuals in the military be the beginning or the end or will our outcry against it be the beginning of a return to a More moral god fearing society its our Choice.
