Ken McLean's Jetter (Aug. 2) sug-
gests that vaginal and anal’ intercourse
are on paras far as risk of contracting
AIDS is concerned. This is absurd, of
course, because in the latter, people are
using parts of the body in ways for which
they are not designed. The rectum is
designed for the excretion of bacteria-
laden feces. This, in itself, is good
enough reason to stay away from any

The — little neighborhood — neighborhood proved to me that

Harbour is indeed a jewel in the that kind of thing ‘didn’t matter

you had such a rotten experience.

great neighborhoods. You and
your family would be more than
welcome in Eagle Harbour!

crown,
Two years ago my husband
and I and our three children
moved into a tiny house in Eagle
Harbour. The day we moved in
neighbors came out of the wood-
work to welcome us to the area.
One came bearing a plate of cook-

ies and warm muffins! Sadly, my.

father ‘in-law died that day at

school, Eagle Harbour Primary
School was another friendly spot
as moms introduced themselves,
welcomed us, and also offered to
help. My son was invited to a
birthday party that week! The
more we got involved, the more
wonderful people we met.

We have moved within Eagie
Harbour since then to a bigger
house as we quickly knew that this

.:) have read Malcolm Ross’ four books. I have read the four

judgments. {including the Supreme Court’s) that have dealt
with his case, I have read commentaries on the Ross case as well
as others dealing with Jim Keegstra, another teacher who is.an
anti-semite and racist. I. have read various legal arguments
‘which seek to understand the nature of freedom of expression
as a fiindament of our Canadian democracy. .

Over the years, I’ve spoken wi

ith and listened to survivors of

the Holocaust. I suspect that many of your readers are not
. acquainted with the intimate details of the Ross and Keegstra
cases, suspect also’ that many of your readers do not know
-.much about the details of the Holocaust or about the nature of
Holocaust denial — its genesis and its aim.
-Itis a shame that, for. many of your readers, Doug Collins is
the authority,on freedom of expression and the Holocaust.

Utterly, completely, irrev-

rocks. He's a nut (or just
extremely bold), but we need
someone like him to keep the
