B5). It was precisely because of these debates and OCA's mean-spirited resistance that Measure 9 was soundly defeated. Most importantly, Oregonians began to put a face on homosex uals. Many gay and lesbians courageously risked the loss of their families, their jobs, and their friends in coming out of the closet. To our surprise we discovered that they were our sons and daughters, aunts and uncles, nieces and nephews, our next door neighbors, our col leagues at work, our community leaders, and often, our friends. They were not the sick perverts and pedophiles that the OCA con tinually painted them to be. From the very beginning the OCA’s plan to pass measure 9 was to be accomplished by the dehumanizing of gay people. Suzanne Pharr, a great civil rights activist, said it best: "Discrimina tion is made possible through the devauation of people so that by the time you come to harm them, you don’t think you're harming a real human being. You think you’re harming someone who doesn’t count.” We have come to the realiza tion that gay and straight people have far more in common than the few differences between them. Let us all remember this well when the OCA comes around with another one of their anti-gay petitions to again divide and polarize Oregon with more fear and mischaracterization of gay people. Signed, (s) Jim Shurtliff Portland Demand accountability To the Editor: The federal debt is the biggest threat facing the country today. Did you know that if you had spent $580 every second since the signing of the Constitution in 1776 that you would have ac cumulated a four trillion dollar debt today? Of course it did not happen that way. It took Congress 200 years to accumulate a one trillion dollar debt and the incumbents another 10 years to add three trillion; by 1996, our debt will total more than the entire industrial output of the United States. In every day term s that means that the equivalent of 61 cents of every dollar each of us pays in income taxes goes to pay off just the in terest on the debt. Interest on the debt is larger than social securi ty or the combined budgets for the departments of agriculture, education, energy, housing and urban development, interior, justice, labor, state, transporta tion and veterans' affairs. And. to rub more salt in the wound. Congress, before the ad journment to come home and campaign for re-election, gave themselves a cost-of-living- adjustment. A $4.000 dollar pay increase from $129,500 to $133,644 effective January 1, 1993. They are not calling it a raise but instead “ compensation for buying power eroded by in flation.” Inflation that they themselves have created. We’re being hurt, and it is up to us, as citizens, to sound off on our discontent. Everyone should write his or her elected officials and demand action and accountability.
