LETTERS TO THE EDITOR

POLICY: Don't take it so damn' seriously. The infiniteness of Man is not reduced to a "split infinity"
by wars, taxes, or "experts" who seek to sell
his what he already has in an infinite amount.
SUB-POLICY: We reserve the right to change our minds
from issue to issue, or even from page to page,
if we desire.
SUB-SUB-POLICY: Each Man has the inherent right to be
his own and only "Authority "
SUB-SUB-SUB-POLICY -- We have no objection to "educated
guesses" about Man's destiny -- if there's no
price tag to it, and if the guesser has no objection to our guessing be'a only guessing.
WHO'D WANT A ELSEWHERE in this issue is an
24,000 - MILE article by Rev. Wayne TrubROW OF CORN? shaw, quoting from the Bible to
the effect that there shall come
a time when hills shall be leveled and valleys
filled -- and there shall be no more oceans or
seas. The earth will look like a giant marble
under a super-microscope -- a great garden spot,
in which man shall spend his lifetime making
things fruitful and multiplying.
Maybe this is a pretty picture to some -- but
it so happens that we love the mountains and
the ocean, and at this stage of our acceptance,
we would regret very much the losing of either.
If you've driven over great plains, where the
road ahead of you disappears into the horizon
only because distance has reduced it to a vanishing point, you know how monotonous such a
view can become. Add to this the erasing of
gulleys and other topographical accent marks --
replacing them with long rows of verdant "multiplying" -- and you have a view of pictorial
wilderness -- even tho what you see may be returning to the farmer hundreds of dollars per
acre in being "fruitful".
Of course, the fault here is in taking the
Bible seriously and literally -- which usually
leads to such ridiculous distortions as a row
of pineapples, or corn, or potatoes 24,902
miles long at the equator.
BUT THE idea certainly has its points -- especially if it would eliminate such climatic
excesses as floods, drouth, tornadoes, etc.
However, we suspect that the land as now constituted can be made to feed its populace
without using Mount McKinley, Pikes Peak, and
the Matterhorn to chink up the canyons and
cracks in the bottom of the Atlantic or Pacific.
For a nation threatening to dump its surplus food into the seas in an effort to keep
prices at an artificial inflation, it sounds
somewhat preposterous for man to want more
land to encourage him in his inefficiency.
Could it be that using these surpluses to feed
the hundreds of thousands of hungry persons in
lands less fortunate might produce the same
results? How about some grain before it rots
or some cold storage eggs before they become
spoiled, for the impoverished people of the
world instead of millions of dollars in foreign aid to be wasted on tools of war and hate?
Might not reforestation and care of the soil
now being destroyed by erosion prove a good
substitute for bulldozing to a common level
the peaks and valleys?
AND WHAT of the fishes who have -- even before
Man started to walk upright on the earth --
used the salty depths of the seas for their
multiplying? Are they to be denied the right
of being fruitful so that man can convert
everything to his plow? And does this include
the ice caps in the Polar regions? Must they,
too, bow to man's expansion of his fruitfulness
as have other multiplying units in the past?
We can see only one important advantage to
such a proposal -- the putting of picks and
shovels into the hands of juvenile delinquents
and adult criminals, and sending them out to
work off their destructive energies on some
innocent mountain. They might not accomplish
much, but think of the multiplying and being
fruitful we could do with these social cancers
isolated. No prisons to maintain, no murders,
rapes, or robberies to police against -- just
a steady "chop ! chop! chop!" as we get our
mountains converted into the utopia some Bible
fictioneer thought mmght be all Man could manage after we reach the era where the "meek
shall inherit the earth".
With all that monotony, who else'd want it?
