it is always in the right, and the
faults and errors fall to our share. It
defies incompetency, but reveals
its secrets to the competent, the
truthful, and the pure.”
-Goethe

As a lad I loved to memorize
poetry. Much of it is as fresh now
as it was more than 40 years ago.
One of my favorites was “Old
Glory.” It began: “Hats off; here
comes Old Glory; Our flag is
passing by; the stars and stripes we
honor make all our hearts beat
high.”
As a teacher for 20 years, I made
every attempt to instill that same
love and patriotic respect for flag
and country into my students’
minds. Now, I strongly believe that
such abiding faith and allegiance is
being threatened.
Because I do love this land, this
state, these United States of
America, I cannot watch its
piecemeal destruction as an idle
spectator. Whether we Texans
realize it or not, our own
Department of Energy is planning
the “Rape of the Century.” In the
near future they plan to drill test
holes in Deaf Smith County
hoping to find a “friendly
environment” to bury this nation's
nuclear, radioactive waste.
The only thing more terrible
than having such a thing to happen
is allowing it to happen. Burial of
such lethal contaminants should
not be a legal question, nor should
politicians make such a deadly
decision. The issue is moral; it is
ethical, and in the end, spiritual.
I didn’t enter the Hands Across
America line-up, not because it
wasn’t a good idea, but because I
was otherwise committed. I will
enter a Hands Across Deaf Smith
County—because the issue of
nuclear dumping is 10,000 times
more important to me. This planet
is more important than any man or
group of men. I am no respector of
persons in the face of such a threat.
I believe with all my energy and
with my ife’s blood that the
Department of Energy must be
stopped. Their course is against the
nature of man kind. It is an evil
that betrays natural instincts for
survival.
If this dastardly act is
perpetrasted without the most
gosh-awful fight, I predict a great
gulf to develop within this nation.
Who will ever trust our
government again? Who will ever
thrill to the National Anthem?
Who will teach that democracy
lives, that this is the land of the free
and the home of the brave?
America, the Beautiful will
become a farce if a radioactive
cancer is freely implanted within
its heart.
Where are the protestors?
Where are the polticians? Where is
the press, the church, the people?
Where is the President of the
United States? Will Ronald
Reagan bear the blame of such
infamy? If this state or some other
becomes the cesspool for nuclear
waste, the American president
who allowed it to happen will ride
history
history’s blackest horse, scythe in
hand, wielded against his own
people.
Imagine, if you will, an endless
Hne of trucks and trains, backed up
from Hereford, Texas, to the New
Jersey Turnpike loaded with
radioactive waste. If such a convoy
ever starts, when do you expect it
to stop? In your lifetime? In your
children’s lifetime? In your
grandchildren’s lifetime? If you
never lift a pen or-your voice to
complain, who is to blame? Shall
our eternal prayer be the same as
Christ’s as he hung from the cross,
“God forgive them for they know
not what they do?”
