Old Philosopher
(Editor's note: The Old
Philosopher on his John-
son grass farm has an idea
for the Great Debates this
week. |
Dear editor.
I listened to the Great
Debate the first go-round
between President Ford
and Governor Carter and
when I couldn't tell who
won l got hold of all the
newspapers I'could to see
what the columnists had
to sav and also I listened
to the television com-
mentators. and as best I
can tell nobody won, it
was a tie.
So it. seems to me the
league of Women Voters
sponsor of the deflates,
ought to change the rules
a little In case of a tie,
just as in . professional
football, they ought to go
into over time If after 90
minutes nobody has won,
stop for three* minutes for
the candidates to catch
their breath and try to
recall their memorized an-
swers and to give Jthe
listeners across the nation
time to get to the re-
frigerator and back. Then
go for 15 minutes more.
If at that point nobody
has scored, go another 15
minutes, then if necessary
another, and another, etc.
You realize, of course,
the debates might go on
all night.
If by daylight nobody
has won, give the cham-
pionship to the Dallas
Cowboys.
Changing the subject,,
like a politician does when
he doesn’t know the an
swer either, I understand
that England is in grave
financial trouble. The
English pound, which
used to lie worth $4.80,
has now dropped to $1.63.
England is in Worse
shape than she realizes,
when you consider that on
top of her pound's now
being worth only $1.63, a
dollar is worth only 50
cents. Figure it out for
yourself.
The British need to be
shielded from this awful
truth and I hope you
won’t allow any copies of
this issue of Yhe Anvil
Herald to get into Eng-
land. Tell your subscri-
bers over there who miss
this issue it must have
been the post office's
fault.
Yours faithfully,
J. A.
