Shearer Facts ... By CARL SHEARER It is a fact that.. . 96,459,483 men did NOT commit a criminal offense in America last year . . . 4,896,720 college students did NOT participate in a campus demonstration... 201,489,710 citizens did NOT use illegal drugs . . 17,613 baby doctors did NOT publicly condemn the draft law and protest the war in Viet Nam. Those are majority groups. Those are some of the people who have been almost forgotten and are not being ignored. Why? Because their minority counterparts — those who DID commit a crime, participate in a campus demonstration, use illegal drugs and publicly protest the war got all the attention. I am determined to know and to show what is good about America. We invite you to the Milford Christian Church, Milford, Indiana.
