NEW WORLD ORDER? OLD ONE BAD ENOUGH

IN REGARD to the New World Order, I would like to remind America of what the old world order brought us: a racially divided country that is close to a race war; economic ruins that have made definitive demarcation between the rich and the poor; and a government that has tried diligently to hoodwink the people on every issue involving our foreign policies.

In this New World Order, countries will compete in this market according to what they have to offer. Japan will offer excellent technological products, and she will receive profits commensurate with her exports. The Middle East will receive profits from oil, and the Third World countries will be raped and exploited as usual.

America will export her best: military weapons, violence and hypocritical foreign policies. We will make sure that no country refuses our intrusions or our hypocritical policies.

Because our economy will be based upon a world economy, no provision will be made for the poor or the middle class. The country will become progressively poorer, and jobs will become scarcer. Many jobs we thought we could depend upon will be moved to Third World countries so that companies can increase their profits. As the economy declines, the politicians will feed us that old bird, racism. That should keep us busy attacking and vilifying people who are in the same boat as we are.

As usual, the rich, the well-connected, and unscrupulous politicians will wave their flags all the way to the bank, singing U.S.A., U.S.A., U.S.A. God help these gullible people. HENRY E. TANN ROANOKE
