     Is the federal government the origin of our "humanity"?  Is it our role
to look to Washington for spiritual guidance? I think not.

     During Mr. Reagan's tenure, programs to improve  the  safety,  cleanli-
ness,  and  general  usefulness of our national parks have been implemented.
The attitudes that have risen against the Interior  Department  seem  to  be
oriented around the "don't put it in my neighborhood" mentality; we want oil
for our cars and homes, and wood for houses, but we don't want wells drilled
or forests harvested for them.  How do you propose to satisfy these markets?
Some people believe that the one-third of the continental United States that
already  belongs  to  the federal government is not enough. I think it's too
much, by far.

     This is buying into the Mondale line. HE invented  "Reagan's  (whatever
tax)",  and it's nothing but a bogus campaign ploy. What about Mr. Mondale's
taxes?  Won't they reduce your purchasing power? He makes no bones about  it
- if he's elected, those taxes WILL HAPPEN, with the energetic support of T.
P. O'Neill & Co.  I don't need that, and neither do you.
