By H. M. BAGGARLY 1
RARE HAVE LITTLE PATIENCE with people
ff and newspapers who continually berate pub-
lic officials, who would drop bombs n “Austin”
and “Washington’ a- a means A exterminating
all the rascal-, who blainc "p iliticians” in general
for all our problems, who equate public officials
with corruption as they p;etui then own w.ngs.
VHE FACTS ARE, we do havj bad—and goad-
I ofiieials in every level of governmentat
about the same ratio that we have goad and bad
citizens here in rulia, in Texas, and in the United
States.
Elec ted and app tinted offic ials in .rely repre c m
a cross • section f the population.
^^UR DAILY PAPERS chrom le the misdeeds
and evil in ihe human luce. This civil |»er-
nteates evc.y branch of .*• giety—p litie.an, .mer-
chant, how wile. . .
Last w. k we read <the skyjacker who bailed
out over Indiana. It s easy to p.n point the evil
in this man
Then there was the Indiana farmer who re-
covered the half million dollars in lost — then
refused the $10.01X1 r ward offered bun by Ameri-
can Airlines, demandinp instead $25,000 and sug-
gesting that > >0,000 would be a more acceptable
am Mint'
Which man i. the more despicable character?
It’s a toss up.
THE LOCAL level, right h re in Tulia, we
have our share of pood Samaritans, of go*l
neighbors, or ordinary g id cnlze.'.s, of ben facto. •>
. . .and we also have one individuals as vicious
and depraved as either the kyjacker or Lie Indiana
f 3/rnKvr.
In tend ,.f stealing $502,000, they would steal
a min’; good iii.mc, his reputation, snmeOnng much
more valuable than a measly $502,000. They would
kick a man when he is on the- hook, regardless
of hi.s puili or inn-.K.nee, they would rejoice at
another’s misfortune. They are so busy noting
inoces—or al!tg.*d motes—in the eyes of others that
they arc unable to deteet th VERY HEAL beaui-
in their own e> ! Th y d ■ iw a Hendi-h delight
in seeing other humans -uif*r, in adding to the
heavy burden; common to all m n.
In our bo ik, ihe e |ie >ple are no less despic-
able than the kyiackcr or he Itnliin i farmer. . .
(»r Gus Mutseller, (l or every Utis Mut- her there
is also n Sharp wh is rot a public official!)
Anil these hypo s ites oft n gravitate to t h e
churches. Of cm.- th.y are not limited to tne
churches, but it d >s seem that churches have
more than th ir har • in vi"‘v of the tact that they
profess to oppose -uch conduct.
|P THERE WAS anything Christ taught, it w;»-
I coinp smn; yet, the av rag politically cans r-
vative church i- about the* last place one would
go the o days to fin I coinpassirn. This includes
many of their preachers
And we ir. ik this charge as ;i theological
conservative.
Th • cliui h h is nit n l»i-t d trial it has given
birlh ta and Ins >rt of a inonipoly on justice,
compulsion, lor . Iiarity, generosity, and all the
ether divine virtue- Of cour-e, all these virtues
did originate with God. ilowener, we can n t neces-
s^.ily equate God with lb,* chuiches.
In reient inontns we hive hid an opportunity
ta observe some of the great ast examples of c im-
passion and kindness we have ever st\n — a
well as example's of seme of the greatest lack
of these virtues w’e have ever seen. But thus •
examples followed no pattern so tar as church
member- and non-chureh members are cone rn d.
We could write a book an “Heels We Hutve
Known in the Ministry.” Heading the list would
be a pastor we mot recently while serving as u pall-
bearer at an out - of - town funeral.
POINT OF THIS DISCUSSION is NOT la bemoan
■ any group or class. It is quite the opposite.
We aie trying to say that g ad and evil are
s.ldnni if ever divided by arbitrary lin. s in |m1i-
tics, religion, or in any other area ol life.
.Ml the crooks don’t hold public office!
Even patriotism is nut in ..-sarily id milled
by an American flat; in the la|»el or sic ve or
by membership in the John Birch Society.
tAIES IZZARD DEVOTED a column last week
ff to something that should .stimulate thinking,
although not the kind h* anticipated.
•ii damning the ll.udst.irt aid similar programs
designs! by lawmakers interested only in helping
s l\e ora- <>: the many problem- thai afflict bunui.-
itv, in this cu e children with a specific necxl,
Izzard viewed this effort as am- step forward in
our inevitable march toward regimentation and Cotn-
niuni in.
The Amarillo editor pulled out of cortex! a
st ateme’i by l S. Senator Jacob Javits of New
Voik who allegedly said, “We hive r cognized
that the- child is a care of the -tat ”
Izzaid wrote that he c ulii think of ‘ no greater
threat to the American h >nie as we have known
it from the beginning than this I gislation (the
( ■ mpi. ’un-ive lladstarl, ‘ hild IX'velopinent and
Family Services Act ,-f 1972).’’
IVE YOURSELF A test to see wheth r you
are a nuthead or an intelligent human b ing
by noting your own reaction to Izzard'- asset tii n.
Do you see lh*s as a aizar.t- pi I to r.giment
and brainwash the 4 and 5-ycarolu kid- by a
totaliiarian state as does Mr. izzard who remem-
bered the “marching children in the TV piedun s
from < hina dining the Nixon vi-it »iu n.arJied
in pe feet tad. nee, singing”. . .or do v >u s e
it a- a sincere c I fort to solve one of our domest-
ic you’h pr iblems?
ADMITTEDLY, WE HAVE been conditioned
to flinch at ihe -onnd of 'he phrase, 'tie
child i< a (.ire of the -tale.” But taken in context,
did Senator Jn'it* or any of the 72 other Senators
s.ipp rting tha bill have in mind anything sinister?
Of course not.
