6 - Hinton News Tues. Dec. 10, 1991
From Page Two Letters
majority of the public only within a
couple of very narrow time frames (6
and 11 p.m.) and it has a totally
inflexible quantity of time: 30 min-
utes in each period.
And within that 30 minutes must
be crammed 10 to 14 minutes of
commercials. That leaves 16-20
minutes for weather, sports, feature
spots and hard news. In most cases
the 11 p.m. =news'is mainly a repeat
of the 6 p.m. More times than not,
several minutes of each slot will be
devoted to network feeds on national
events.
So, what do we actually get?
Probably an average of no more than
10 minutes per day of fresh local/
state news.
By contrast, how much local
(community, city/town, county)news
do the state's 100 daily and weekly
newspapers provide? The 70 or so
weekly publications seldom contain
anything by local news. Local news
accounts for the bulk of the content
of the dailies.
Thus. is it logical, given these
facts, that nearly two of every three
West Virginians could possibly get
most of their local news from televi-
sion? Obviously not.
The marketing srvey conducted
for W.Va. Press Serviceby Market
Vision Research sampled 1,200
adults heads of households across
the state.
Our survey found that 45.8 per-
cent got their local news from daily
newspapers; 24.1 percent from
weekly newspapers; and only 13.4
percent from television. This put
newspapers as the prime source of
local news for 69.9 percent of the
adult heads of households.
Another question our survey
asked was a general one, Vhere do
you get most of your newsT' Only
one-third said newspapers; 51 per-
cent said television.
Delete the word =local" from the
WV Poll results and all other data
comes much closer to supporting this
finding.

Must Comment
Dear Editor: •
I feel I must comment again on
the Summers County Board of Edu-
cation fiasco before voters have the
final say on the levy Dec. 14.
I wonder what percentage of vot-
ers believe the levy money will be
used for the items listed in your
paper Dec. 3. I certainly do not and
believe I am not alone.
It is my personal belief the Board
was unable to manage the huge
amoun of money they had at their
disposal by squandering funds for
purposes not related to education of
the children. What guarantee do I
have that money raised by a special
same way? Of course, the answer is
none.
There is an old saying, =The first
time you do it to me. The second time
I do it to myself." I will vote (NO)
Dec. 14th. because I simply will not
give good money after bad.
The Board has proven to my sat-
isfaction the majority is irrespon-
sible and they should declare bank-
ruptsy so the state can come in and
reorganize. Then I will gladly sup-
port whatever it takes to keep our
school system solvent.

Friends,
In this letter if I offend anyone I
apologize.
Many of you have no idea of the
ways of the First Nations of this
land. Largely ue to ignorance and
racism.
We understand that we as hu-
mans are the weakest of all creation.
If you remove all the insects from
our Mother the Earth all life will die,
etc. Butifyou remove only the human
all life with flourish, it will continue
without us. So, this dependency
shows us to be the weakest.
Modern society is taught by the
bible, science and technology that
humans are the masters of the earth
and life on it. Which is a lie and is
slowly through time showing itself
to be a lie. Mainly it's rooted in
Greek-Roman Philosophy which
teaches "civilized" is more impor-
tant than natural. It's mainly a teach-
ing of self importance, racism. =If
you come upon a man who isn't civi-
lized take what is his and make it
yours." Which seems that the
church's and society has taken whole
heartedly. Superiority Attitudes.
- When man removes himself from
-=nature his heart becomes hard-
ened towards it, he then loses re-
spect for other living things, he then
loses respect for other human beings.
Next year many will be celebrat-
• ing 500 years of=discovery." We will
be mourning 500 years of genocide.
Genocide and racism takes many
forms. One is the attempt to make a
people forget who they are and call
themselves white, black, Asian, etc.
when they are not. One is to get a
people to forget the teachings of their
ancestors by removing them from
their people or convincing them that
if they follow those old ways they are
savage, ignorant or will burn in
"hell." Which is foolish. One is to not
to tell truth in the school system and
to teach stereotypes.
Many don't know that Columbus
was a murdering slaver. Or that the
U.S. Constitution is modeled after
the Irogouis Confederacy. Or that
American Indian religions were offi-
cially illegal until 1978. The geno-
cide didn't stop in the Dec. snow in
1890 at wounded Knee.
From 1969 to 1976, 40% Indian
women on or near the reservations
wereinvoluntarily sterilized. In 1985
80%ofthe Indian and Inuit children
in Alaska were innoculated with the
Hepatitis II (2) vaccine. This vaccine
was OUTLAWED in 1978 by the
World Health Organization because
it is believed to be a possible cause of
the HIV Virus. To this day people
are being forcibly removed from their
land. The Navajo because of ura-
nium and coal lies under their area.
Sound like Nazi Germany? You Bet.
