The root of all our ills
Thursday, May 31 at 12:01 AM

Can we simply work on taking care of the problems we have? Let’s work on reducing population through population control (birth control and abortion). Let’s live and let live by not telling our brothers how to live their lives.
Let everyone have the opportunity to help reduce population, the root of all our problems.

Ray Coffman, Morrison


READER COMMENTS

Yor letter contradicts itself.You say, " Let's live and let live by not telling our brothers how to live their lives."

Prior to that statement you say, " Let's work on population control ( birth control and abortion ).

If you look around you will see it's the latinos and other ethnic group that do not practice birth control and don't believe in abortion.It's not uncommon to see a latino illegal having 5 or 6 border babies.Why would they give up the services the recieve for their newborn American citizens.That's they gravy train.

Come down out of the tree house.

Some of us see the genocide in our own backyard being practiced under the auspices of legalized abortion as a much greater tragedy than overpopulation. I agree with one thing you said: let's live and let live.

"Can't we simply work on taking care of the problems we have," asks or says Ray Coffman. We had an immigration problem and our lawmakers solved it, to wit:

Prez. Reagan solved the immigration problem with amnesty; amnesty became the incentive for more to come; they come; they bring with them MDRTB (Peter Boyles this morning):

Medical Drug Resistant TB is rampant in Calif. brought by illegal immigrants mostly from Mexico and the Philippines. The 1984 Federal Law mandates no hospital shall turn away anyone within its borders.

It costs between $200,000 and 2$million to treat one afflicted with tuberculosis of the resistant strain. It is not the homeless, the incarcerated or those on drugs who are afflicted; it is the illegal immigrants who, as opposed to legal immigrants that must submit to a TB test and other medical, that are afflicted. Amnesty is extended to the illegal immigrant without the medical testing required of legal immigrants.

Bush, because of the rat in his pocket, says: "It is hard work; we can do it," and his audience of die-hards applaud even though they don't claim to be part of Bush's "we."

"Bring 'em on," says Bush, to the illegal immigrants and the trucks convey soon to invade America from Mexico called a "rolling torpedo" by a democrat.

"The worst of the worst:" That is Bush 2 seeking to solve the problem just as Reagan solved it: Amnesty without regard to health.

When I saw this letter, I figured it wouldn't be long before immigrants were blamed for whatever ails us. Sure enough.

"Close your Eyes" and Richard the Ape engage in the usual fear mongering, conveying false or misleading information in order to generate fear.

I disagree with the letter writer's assertion that population is the root of our problems. That argument has been made for at least 100 hundred years (Malthus) and (in the 1970s by Erlich), and somehow the world hasn't come to an end. That's not to say that population isn't a concern, but the bigger issue is how we use the resources we have.

OK two things I want to say here.
1. Mr. Coffman says he wants to control the population with abortion. But hold on a secound here. I thougt abortion was all about a womans right to choose, or for the womans health. This just go's to show that for a lot of you abortion lovers out there its Not about what P.P.H. says. For Mr. Coffman the man who just wants to "live and let live" unless you happen to be an unborn baby, he wants to kill you. Geewiz Roy i'm over come by you compasstion. And just who decides which baby is allowed to "live and let live". You want to have us all commit murder in the name of "population control". As I recall there was a other country that tryed this. And all the silly little people voted Hitler into office and they "controlled" the worlds population to the bloody tune of something like hundreds of millions of lives.
2. As for Richard Monkey mans blathering on about "its all Bush's fault, God I hate that man" the dems have been trying (and managing to do so) to flood this country with illegal mexicans for years so they can turn them into good little sheep voters for their party. Bush has just made the mistake of thinking he could do the same thing, just like he made the mistake of thinking people like Richard monkey man would ever forgive him for having won Forida over Al "The sky is falling" Gore.

Yo Anderson: It is "Risen Ape" not "Richard the Ape." As maligned as you are in this forum, I attached some intelligence to you and now you are reduced to name-calling. You know how to injure an old man's sensibilities. If you want a check you need to take the opposite ground.

Solution: 1. Bush's assassination of Saddam is complete: Mission accomplished; declare victory and get out. 2. Assign the troops to the border(s); don't create anymore immigration laws; let them stay without amnesty and repeal the 1984 law granting free medical; deport the criminals (those already incarcerated); deny those staying American citizen rights just as Mexico denies Americans Mexican rights. Enforce the border.

You can be a Risen Christ; I won't object; I'll be a Risen Ape; you don't object. You can believe in nonsense on stilts; I can believe in Mother Nature. America will need her troops to protect against natural catastrophe. Thank you Mother for your attack on Mother Cabrini Shrine.

Richard, what name did I call you? Oh, Ape, I suppose.

I guess I don't have a lot of respect for those who engage in low- brow fear mongering. Sorry. Funny I read the articles about the TB guy in yesterday's papers. He thinks he ay have contracted it in Vietnam. In any case, he is a known world traveler. And you point the blame at Mexico via California? Based on what evidence? Not the CDC I'm sure. I believe I also read that form of TB is fairly rare (13 cases in the U.S. since '86 (don't quote me)? You say otherwise, and cite Boyles as an authority. Give me some reason why we shouldn't simply laugh you out of the room?

There you go again, Anderson, using the pronoun "We" which is a favorite of Jehovah and Allah along with "Us" gods. Unless you have a rat in our pocket or a tapeworm elsewhere, you are hereby estopped (banned) from using a pronoun. It is an extensive coverage in today's Post June 3:

Today's Post affirms Peter Boyle: The illegal immigrant is infected with drug resistant TB. Bring back Ellis Island if you get my drift.

Tombstone: Here lies Jerry Falwell (if I was into name-calling: Foulwell) “who hated gays, lesbians, pagans, atheists, evolutionists, pluralists, non-absolutists, members of the ACLU, people for the ethical treatment of others people, abortion providers, secular humanists, human secularists, liberals, leftists, civil right’s supporters, people who need people, democrats, the educated Arabs, Jews, Muslims, godless media, non-church goers who didn’t read the
Bible or believe in Jesus or vote Republican, pets owned by anyone who doesn’t pray, claimed 9/11 was god’s punishment generated by his domestic enemies, women and men who …” Looks like Foulwell ran out of tombstone.
