`FOREIGN REFUGEES' FOUNDED THIS COUNTRY

IT DISGUSTS me to read letters such as Mr. Carlson's and Mr. Tucker's about Virginia secession and Union oppression. Get real! It is almost century 21.

Please remember, "foreign refugees" founded this great country of ours. If I were an American Indian back then, I would most definitely have considered Tucker a "dumped refugee."

With all the positive forces at work in our country and in the world today, why bother with warmongering and animosity?

As an attorney at law, Tucker might divert his energies and "individual liberties" toward unscrambling our legal system. Seeing the movies "Born on the Fourth of July" and "Glory" might change his tune.

Long live the United States of America! And may God shed his grace on thee.\ A. BRANDT\ VINTON
