minority of thc population "arc imposed
on the majority of ihe people." Bond said.
"There are certain standards all of us
have...but beyond those rather general
standards, there is no place for govern¬
ment to intrude: I'm afraid that what Pres¬
ident Reagan and Jerry Fawell. and peo¬
ple of ihe moral majority, which as you all
know is neither, are attempting to impose
their private vision of moralily on thc pub¬
lic lives of people."
Bond. 45, still maintains many of his
boyish looks — despite hints of gray hair
and a pair of half-rim glasses — that he
had when he first became active in Geor¬
gia politics some 20 years ago. At age 28,
he was ihe first black nominated for the
vice presidency. He was forced to decline
the offer, however, because the U.S. Con-
least 35 years old.
First elected to thc Georgia House of
Represenatives in 1965, he was barred
from taking office by his House colleagues
because of his outspoken opposition to
Ihe Vietnam War. After the Supreme
Court ruled unanimously that the House
had erred, he went on to serve four terms
in that post before being elected a state
senator in 1974.
Bond, who is himself a Democrat,
expressed specific concern about the con¬
dition of his party. He believes that by
emulating the Republicans. Democrats
are separating themselves f
of the disfranchised.
"If defeated Democrats think they can
win power in next year's congressional
election or in the election of "88 by raping
the Republicans, they are in for a really
rude awakening," said Bond.
Bond said that a sharp rise in infant
mortality was a result of budget cuts made
during the Reagan administration.
"When the President cut social pro¬
grams during the pasl four years.it was as
if he personally slit the throats of little
babies," said Bond. The
loud groans from some listeners. "For the
impoverished, the last four years have
been cauclysmic and for some even faul.
to think that he can balance the budget by
cutting aid to the poor and increasing
defense spending by an astouding $35 bil¬
lion,"he added.
"My feeling is that this is just a bypro¬
duct of shoddy mathematics. When you
expenses go up and your income goes
down, you are going to have deficits. This
happens in people's homes, and it happens

in government."
Bond took timet
Jackson's efforts on the political scene, at
Ihe same time criticizing his own pessim¬
ism surrounding the potential of a black
candidate in the 1984 presidential race.
"I was one of the people, who when the
Rev. Jackson began his campaign, who
was dead set against it," Bond said. "1
thought it was an awful idea. I thought it
would be a disaster. 1 didn't think he could
stick it out. I thought he would suck votes
out of Ihe Democratic Party. I was wrong
about all. those things," he admitted.
