Principal commended in response to the article on silent lunches in school Jan. 18 i want to say Bravo Zulu to principal Joan Wilcox for standing up for what she believes is right. It is surprising that anyone would protest a policy that could Only help bring order to a world in which disorder chaos an mayhem arc the Norm. Perhaps if we had More administrators Rich As principal Wilcox in our schools we could turn the tide on violence in our Public school systems and Start teaching the Basic fundamentals that our children Are supposed to be learning. Parents need to support the school administration and teachers and not under mine their authority with the children by telling them the children they do not need to obey the rules As Long As the Par ent is there. What kind of message docs this Send to the child it is High time we As parents straighten out our priorities concerning the education of the leaders of America s tomorrow. Jonathan Kastur Rota Spain driving ban respected in amplification of your article on the neapolitan driving ban some Ameri cans drive in Naples despite being told to steer Clear and in response to the let Ter writer s lament of my Lack of respect for the italian people and environment and concomitant bad example the phrase out of context has particular application. As i expressed to your reporter my trip downtown that the original article referred to was specifically planned and executed to avoid having to drive during the ban. Further since my car is equipped with a catalytic converter and the Naples naval support activity was outside the area covered i was not too i have the utmost respect for my hos country its people and its Laws. I would t be serving a second tour Here if i had less. It is too bad that selective edit ing led the writer and probably others to her angry and erroneous conclusion. Sorry but i am not one of the privileged class who shrugs off the rules As your article pointedly suggested. You la have to get ammunition for that tired old theme elsewhere. Cmdr. Rod Lyman Naples Italy evidence suggests guilt there has been quite a few letters concerning the conservative Point of View but the letter addressing the Iran Contra affair is clearly ridiculous. When the writer says this is clearly an attempt to vilify conservatives Noth ing could be further from the truth. The fact is the Only person vilified was special prosecutor Lawrence e. Walsh. The conservatives complained that his office was a hotbed of Liberal activism when in truth Walsh is a staunch lifelong Republican. Why is it the so called conserva Tives never mention that i would also like to remind these conservatives that lying to Congress is a crime which makes the perpetrator a criminal. It does t matter what political office he holds. I say it took $35 million to show that the leadership of the Republican party is a Bunch of pardons were clearly the most inscrutable part of the whole ordeal. Why did former president Bush wait until after the Campaign Why did t former president Reagan Pardon these same people at the end of his presidency Reagan had nothing to gain by issuing to Bush however Are obviously not quite so deep. The indictment of former Secretary of defense Caspar a Weinberger was getting far too close for his Comfort. It was becoming quite Clear that prosecutor Walsh was breaking the stonewall.1 realize there arc Many people who still want to believe these republicans arc inno cent despite All the evidence that suggests otherwise. These Are the people who yell Witch Hunt every Chance they can. Anthony v. Berkley Kaiserslautern Germany More irrational fears How quickly we forget the lessons of history. A scant 50 years ago the Battle raged not Over whether to permit Gays and lesbians into the military but whether to permit the integration of Blacks in the military. No doubt the nation s senior military officers raised these questions will soldiers follow a Black sergeant into danger without fear or doubt will they Trust the judgment and impartiality of a Black officer will distraught parents react by Tak ing their offspring out of a hitch in the military will the sight of Blacks dancing with Whites wreak havoc in an no club will Blacks be permitted to live in family quarters on base will costly new educational programs have to be instituted to sensitize military personnel to Black we be been through these irrational ears once. Let s move on. Donald Kapaun air station Germany clean up after pets about two months ago i was walking to my car and right by my car door i stepped in it dog mess. A few weeks later i did it again in front of my building. Then again on the sidewalk. Just a few Day Sago i did it again twice in one Day. This is not funny it is not a joke nor is it a this is is disgusting and i am Dis gusted. It is High time that we Start to take control of the care of our animals As Well As our Community. It is our responsibility to clean up All focal excretions from our pets not just sometimes but All the time. In doing this we can better enjoy our surroundings and enjoy the simple things like walking to our cars without watching our every step. If this letter does not Point the Finger at you i applaud you. But if it docs please take the time All of two extra minutes and Start to show you care about your pet your Community and you neighbors. Of i do have a pet and i show her my Community and my neighbors i do car every Day seven Days a week. Stephanie m. Glove Darmstadt Germany unfair phone comparison i Hope you got paid Well for the advertisement you gave multinational telecoms inc. I believe you did a disservice to your readers by comparing apples and oranges . Mai discount rate with others full rate. For example Here in the United King Dom at to has military Saver plus plan which waives the higher rate for the first minute arid the service charge for use of the calling card. You do need a free at to calling card Mai requires other charge cards that May charge fees and use Usa direct service. It has a monthly membership charge of $8,50 met is $10.00and the i the first minute and every minute costs Only 94 cents Mai s is 99 cents be minute. So these rate Are not unheard of and for us in the United kingdom at to offers a better Deal. Col. . Raf of pct Scyford England Don t judge Marine kicker in response to Marine kick offensive Jan. 19i personally found that entire letter offensive. To begin with the writer has some nerve attacking those marines. Just because he wears a uniform does not give him the right to judge other service members. How docs the writer know what really happened two seconds before those photos were snapped although our service members Are thoroughly trained Somalia is a danger Ous and hostile environment. Two of our servicemen have already been injured by sniper fire and unfortunately Marine pfc. Domingo Arroyo lost his Young life while serving his country in Somalia. Elizabeth Levesque Shuf Ford England get used to Gays i strongly disagree with the letter Gays need help Jan. 22. If the writer does not approve of homosexuals he had better get used to it. It s not like a Homo sexual is going to make a move on him unless that person is sure that he is also homosexual. A person s sexual preference has Noth ing to do with their Job performance or personality. It sounds to me like the writer is the one who needs psychological help not them.
