Doing damnedest recent articles have left and Stone in turned in the apparent Hunt for housing press material in bad Kreuz Nach. As inane military Community some Ureno rated quarters May not be in the Condi Tion we would like them to be in. Some units May in fact be 1952 Vin Tage housing. There is always More that. Must be done to improve their Condi Tion. In our Community there Are seven family housing units in this category. Re quests for funds to renovate have been submitted yearly and Are in line or among stack of other important actions await ing higher Headquarters  reduced directorate of Engi Neering and housing Deh workforce in this Community works very hard in try ing to do All things for Al people and projects at the same time. The repair folks focus on performance that produces Safe High Quality of life quarters. In approximately 1,200 government controlled units the overwhelming major Ity of families Are very Happy with their housing. Families who. Reside in totally renovated quarters do enjoy up scale in Stallatt is of flooring kitchens Baths bedroom sch ranks or close Ting. Partly renovated quarters have some of the above actions completed with More improvements being made each Day. In bad Kreuz Nach and Derheim it i True that not enough government housing exists to House the number of military families we Are tasked to serve. The com Mander s solution is to House families inthe Mainz Community when no quarters Are available in bad Kreuz Nach or Dex Heim. This requires a longer drive and May require an investment in an Auto Mobile. To Date Over 300 families from bad Kreuz Nach and Derheim that reside in Mainz. They include the commander of the area support group other senior and company Grade officers cos Junior enlisted and their  by various agencies Over the years have proven that our housing folks do a super Job and we will continue to do   my objective is to reassure the soldiers and families who live in bad Kreuz Nachand Derheim that the Chain of command and the housing office staff continue Todo everything that is possible to make their stay in government housing a pleas ant and memorable part of their tour in Germany. Oliver West chief housing division bad Kreuz Nach Germany a Lova diner tall tales9 your article prehistoric fossils found at spillway of flooded Lake oct. 12 has finally driven me to write. Granted you were Only running an associated press article but that can Only count As a weak excuse. The article refers to archaeologists As the specialists who study ancient co rals fish and other Marine fossils but archaeologists Deal with humans and humanoids not 375 million year old  fossils fall within the Purview of palaeontologists As any 9-year-old Fanon Jurassic Park knows. The reference to 20-foot-Long Ostraco terms is grossly exaggerated. Ostraco terms ranged from a Tew inches to a few feet on length plainly not the Volvo sized monsters mentioned in the  article refers to Brach Loppi As ancient clams but they Are  history goes Back millions of years but they Are still alive today the japanese eat them they Art unrelated to clams and belong within their own tax-onomic\phy1um, brachiopods which gives the separate and equal status wit the chordate including Sarth Opida including insects and other discrete phyla. Calling a Brachiopod a Rno Lusk is As taxonomically incorrect As calling a Coy ote a Type of Butterfly. I like your rare science articles but can count on More reliable facts from me the Bremerhaven privately owned vehicle pick up list. Keep those articles coming but please Don t let them read As though the reporter s Only research source was eavesdropping on tall tales in an Iowa  comb Augsburg Germany promoting Jie version looking through the oct. 19 Issue of the stars and stripes i could t help not ing the sexual offences committed . A Soldier was involved in homosexual acts while another raped a woman. What about All the other perverted acts we Don t read about All the Adul Tery homosexuality sodomy and rapes by  fact is the armed forces has As does the civilian sector a problem with  stars and stripes promotes this perversion. They place an abundance of sexually explicit material in their stores. Sometimes you can t even walk Down a aisle because Vou have men and women with perverted minds standing there Star ing at one third of All the adult mag  Challenge our leadership to seek ways to clean up the sexual offences by Stop Ping the promotion of perversion in and out of the  sgt Delbert Rogers Friedberg Germany Stop proselytizing does any group have the right to impose its moral and ethical standards on society in general christians have the Bible muslims have the Koran and there Are hundreds of additional works that reconsidered sacred to millions of people. These groups have their own versions of what is and is not acceptable behaviour for those wishing to be considered goo members. A secular society such As America haste responsibility and the right to develop a code of ethical behaviour that define the rights responsibilities and minimum standards of conduct for All its  a code is designed to enable various elements of a society to live together in. Relative peace and Harmony in spite of conflicting goals and standards. Having to Deal with such diversity makes it impossible to please everyone. Developing code based on the concent that we Are human beings first and Christian Mas urn atheist jew etc., second gives a society the Chance to come up with a reasonable Compromise. Unfortunately Many groups naively feel the world s problems will be solved if everyone converted to their Way of think inc. In extreme cases this translates into a mandate to impose beliefs on others and if that is not successful destroy or imprison them. Far too often the cry god i with us has resulted in  shares being beat into swords followed by the shed Ding of innocent blood. When someone looks at the Bible Koran etc., they should remember that no matter How strongly they believe their god is the one True one someone will just As fervently dispute it. Each person should live by the standards their god demands without imposing these Stan Dards on others. To do otherwise Only causes unnecessary conflict in a world that grows smaller with each passing Day. Master sgt. Michael listen  a Germany .-.-. ". Let s stand United i have been married for four years Toan air Force service member and in All these years i have never Felt spoiled bythe air Force.

Gearhart Wiesbaden Germany intellectual dishonesty a letter writer from Stuttgart Ger Many wanted to know if there were any. Credible scientists anywhere who believed creation Model Over an evolutionary Model. There Are hundreds. And there Are also non Christian evolutionary scientists who find problems in the evolutionary Structure. The Point is this there Are hundreds of highly qualified scientists who flatly reject the evolutionary framework for the explanation of the origin of life and the universe. The letter writer is not aware of these scientists and is obviously not aware of the massive amount of data that tends to support a creationist Model. This is not surprising since the education system re fuses to present any data that seems to contradict the one accepted View. At Best that is poor use of the scientific Model. At worst it is intellectual Dis honesty Dan Taylor Kaiserslautern Germany editor s note we encourage our readers especially those who have never submitted a letter to write to us.
