If I wanted to destroy America... To the Editor: If I wanted to destroy America this is what I would do: -Take control o f the Associated Press, so that my practices o f bribery, extortion, destroying political enemies, and backroom deals would not be exposed. •Take control of the financial system, so that only the government can borrow money. -Enact huge spending programs, requiring the government to borrow huge sums of money from our enemies. -Take control of all lands and waters that contain natural resources, and make those natural resources inac cessible for production purposes. -Pass laws that give labor unions the power to strangle federal, state, and local budgets and make large corporations unprofitable. -Promote a Godless society by teaching children that God had nothing to do with the founding o f this country. -Promote immorality by passing laws allowing the unnatural formation o f families and making it easy for women to dispose of their unwanted babies. -Enslave the people to the government. -Enact huge tax increases on the few that still pay taxes to take away their incentive to produce. -Weaken our military, insult our allies, and bow to our enemies. Oh, isn’t that what our President is doing? John Russell Salem Where is the sense of fair play and justice? To the Editor: We feel that including the City o f Irrigon as a member in the Implementing LRA would be a smart move for several reasons. Irrigon has shown due diligence in preparing an organized, detailed, and well thought out NOI. The same cannot be said o f the larger entities (the county, ports, etcetera), who wish to exclude Irrigon. The location o f Irrigon, adjacent to the depot, and the number of people living in Irrigon and employed at the depot clearly indicate that they have a large stake in the outcomes of implementation. Common sense dictates that they must be involved in Implementing LRA. Finally, it appears that Irrigon is being pushed into the background by the bigger entities who want the “whole pie” to them selves. Where is the sense o f fair play and justice in all of this? We can do better than this. Leslie L. Paustian, Mayor Heppner Waste M anagem ent to host free e-cycling event in Heppner W aste M a n a g e m ent is h o stin g free e- cycling events in July to help O re g o n ia n s safely and conveniently recycle old d esk to p and laptop com puters, m onitors and TVs.
