Student Needs Help For Program
Dear Editor,
India Martin, a seventh grade fiifled student
at Summerville Middle School and daughter of
Tammy Martin, a 1982 Chattooga High graduate,
needs your help. India has an ogportunity to par
ticipate in the lPeople to People Student Ambassa
dor Program to be held this summer in Australia.
The Peoglee to Peol;‘)le Student Ambassador
Brogram was begun by the 34th President, Dwight
. Eisenhower. He believed that if people could
visit each others’ homes, attend their schools, and
see their places of worship, then the misunder
standings, misperceptions, and resulting suspi
cions would disappear.
Since the first Student Ambassador program
began in 1963 it has grown from 16 delegates to
more than 13,000. As a matter of fact, Walt Disney
created the “It’s a Small World” attraction after
his particigation in the People to People White
House conference.
What an extraordinary opportunity for a stu
dent of Chattooga County to participate. But, we
need your help. The cost of the program for India

reason it is so remote is that the death pen
alty is so infrequently imposed — only 600
times over the past quarter century out of
some 480,000 murders.

NOW JUST suppose that a convicted
killer had, say, a 50-50 chance of receiving
the death penalty (500 percent greater than
current odds) and that once an execution date
was set, it would be carried out within, say,
one year (as opposed to the 11 years the aver
age death row inmate spends behind bars
awaiting his or her date with the executioner).
You can bet your last S2O million that there
wouldn’t be nearly as many murders commit
ted in this country. ,
For if criminals in places like Califor
nia are cognizant enough to know that if they
commit a “third strike” they are almost cer-

The Future 0f Conservation
SOME PREDICTIONS about the fu
ture are wackier than others. .
In 1967, the head of the U.S. Atomic
Energy Commission told a women'’s group
that the housewife of 2000 would work less
thanks to a multi-armed “robot maid” capable
of sweeping, vacuuming “and picking up your
husband’s clothing” simultaneously.
That prediction seems silly today, but
it pales compared with prophecies about the
decline of American conservatism. Some crit
ics, such as Princeton University Professor
Sean Wilentz, say liberalism will dominate
the future because conservatives have no
more tax dragons to slay or evil empires to
fight.
“Liberalism is back — maybe not in
name, but in spirit and substance,” Wilentz
declared in a newspaper essay last fall.
That’s far wackier than a robot that
sucks up the crushed Cheetos behind the
couch while picking up dirty socks. Liberal
ism is not coming back — because conserva
tism never left the scene.
Why would it? Conservatism liberated
Eastern Europe and defeated the Soviet
Union without firing a shot. It reduced taxes
and let people go as far as their dreams can
take them. It made America a country the
world could admire again. In short, conser
vatism dominated the last quarter of the 20th
century because it offers solutions that work
— and there’s no reason to think it won'’t do
the same in the 21st.
CONSIDER three major policy chal
lenges America will face in the coming years.
In each case the conservative approach
sounds fresh, while the liberal prescription
sounds like something ripped from the
playbook of the Great Society or New Deal.
Social Security: The Social Security sys
tem will effectively go bankrupt in 2014, when
today’s 51-year-olds are scheduled to retire.
The conservative solution is to let workers
privately invest their Social Security taxes.
Right now, the best “rate of return” workers
can expect for their Social Security dollar is
2.4 percent, compared to average returns of
10 percent for British workers, who are al

Thank you for your help. India is a extremely

teach her would be as valuable or as rewardinf as
being a part of this fine grogram. If you would like

tain to spend 25 years to life behind bars (with
no chance for parole), they surely would be
aware if taking an innocent life meant a 1 in
2 chance (as opposed to a lin 100 chance) of
being executed within a year after conviction.
Had the death penalty been more of a
deterrent in 1981 when David Leroy Skaggs
robbed the home of elderly Kentucky couple
Herman and Mae Matthews, he might have
thought twice about shooting them to death.
Maybe he wouldn’t find himself today on
death row.
Maybe he wouldn’t be a Benetton cover

lowed to put their retirement funds in pri
vate accounts. The liberal solution, by con
trast, is to do nothing — or worse, to raise
taxes and cut benefits to such an extreme
degree that Social Security will go from a bad
deal to a full-scale rip-off.
Missile Defense: We need a national
missile defense system now to neutralize
rogue states such as North Korea, which ex
perts believe already has missiles that can hit
the United States. The sad part is that pro
tection of the American people could have
been a 20th century achievement if President
Clinton hadn’t opposed it. The president be
lieves America can’t build a missile defense
because it must follow the 1972 Anti-Ballis
tic Missile (ABM) treaty with the Soviet
Union. But the Soviet Union has been kaput
since 1991, and under international law the
treaty is worthless. The situation resembles
Monty Python’s famous “dead parrot” rou
tine: Conservatives keep shouting that the
ABM treaty is dead, but the president insists
it’s “just resting.
Health Care: After flirting with nation
alized health care in the 20th century,
America needs market-driven reforms in the
21st to keep its health care systems the best
in the world. One example: changing Medi
care to let senior citizens buy coverage from
health plans that compete for their business
- just as members of Congress, the White
House staff and other government employ
ees and retirees do today under the Federal
Employee Health Benefits Program. The
competing plans give patients more choices
and keep costs reasonable. In short, every
thing Medicare promised to do in the 19605.

CONSERVATIVES will change the
21st century just as they changed the 20th.
Conservatism is based on freedom, opportu

turies because they work. The same can’t be
said for liberalism — or robot maids.

A U.S. magistrate ruled this

had filed an earlier suit against

tion in his suit against Warden
Tompkins. Jones has been de
nied use of the prison library and
has been the subject of harass
ment and retaliation by the
prison staff, the suit (case 00-CV
-6) claimed.
Jones asserted in the litiga
tion that since he had filed an
earlier lawsuit, he had been ha
rassed by the prison staff, placed
in isolation on “trumped-up”
charges and thereby denied ac
cess to the prison law library to
continue researching that case.
NOT “FRIVOLOUS”
The magistrate stated on
Feb. 14 that in his opinion Jones’
suit seeking an injunction
against harassment by the grison
staff was not “frivolous” and

TREE HOLLOWS
Evaluate trees with large
cavities in their trunks yearly, say
experts with the University of
Georgia Extension Service. You
may need to remove them for
safety reasons. When a cavity
takes up more than 75 percent of
a limb or trunk, the wood could
give way at any time.
