At Our Present Rate
We Have No Future!
Americans have been worried
about problems pertaining to the
distant shores of other countries
for' many years: While our con
cern and sympathies were turned
to the world we have for too long
ignored the plagues which are
being inflicted on our natural en
vironment here at home. Recent
predictions of the future we are
creating for ourselves are more
than mere horrors of science fic
tion. Scientists have facts to sup
port the predictions they have
made. We are allowing the condi
tion of our air, land, water and
wildlife to deteriorate at the
hands of the power structure of
America. The society which ex
ists in this country is in . the pro
cess_of destroying the lands that
it took by force from a people
who, appreciated the gifts of na
ture.
Consider these conditions
which lay in the not too distant
future: within the next ten years
city-dwellers will have to wear gas
masks to
_survive the
,air polution
and. within the next fifteen years
the amount of . sunlight, which
warms, the earth, will have_ been
diminished by fifty, percent.. Our
forest lands have . heen
,ravaged
by careless lumber.. companies..
Our shores : have been stained by .
the . oil ued . to operate the ma
chines of war and the cars which
pollute our, air. The lakes we used
. .
to swim in. are no longer safe due
to the 'increase of deadly bacteria
in the water. Beautiful clear cool
mountain streams, are now, warm
and tainted with the detergents
ank.mining wastes discarded in
to
.them.. It is the corporations_
and, - 0:1.e money hungry, pigs, who
run .the large companies _who are.
at fault , for „this rape of nature.
In their ,fr,antic.a;ttempts to. - chaSe

our scenic lands, contaminating
our air, killing our animals and ,

polluting our water. How 'long
they are permitted to carry on
this devastation of nature de-
pe.nds on how long they can keep
pouring out the bullshit to the
majority of the public. The cor
porations tarrying on with the
destruction have so far been able
to escape confrontation with the
truth of their ways. Reasons for
this are: the corporations hire
public relations' firms to build
them an image which hides what
they actually are, the heads of
the government agencies which
should protect our environment
are very often the same men who
are on the boards of the compan
ies accused of exploiting the land
for their own profit, and lastly
the public has for a long time fail-
ed to realize the extent to which
the damage has advanced.
Ecology is now emerging as one
of the most important political
issues of today. The people want
the pollution and destruction of
their natural resources !stopped
now and they are organizing to
oppose the persons involved. If
the change doesn't come soon,
there is reason to believe that just
as the civil rights movement has
shifted to the militancy of black
power, that the ecology movement
could also become militant. The
Potential for the growth of the
ecological !movement is evident
and if a change to militancy
comes it should occur more
rapidly than the change to black
power came about. The key to the
answer lays ! in the realization
that man is man's own worst .en
emy and when the majority sees
fit to end theclestruction of our
surroundings then the destruction
will be drawn to a halt. If the
majority fails to take any action
than it will be up to the "un
silent" minority to bring about
the changes.

Dear G-o-d:
The mini-skirt fad will end

their crummy legs aren't so nice

finding it Itoo hard to do the

out what her name was.
Years ago, men used to delight
themselves in fantasies by just
imagining 'what their well-clad
secretaries would look like in a
bathingis . uit. Today men don't
haVe the chance to use imagina
tion. Today the truth just stares
them in the face.
Women keep saying to me,
"why don't you look at me when
I talk to- you?" Well the' truth
:of the matter is that if I did look
at them, I'd probably have to go
to confession or something.
And that's another thing. Isn't_
there such a thing as modesty

What we're going to be faced with
