Don't open racial f

Dear Editor:

I would like to place myself
firmly behind Doug Collins
and agree with 95 per cent of
what he writes in your paper.
Difficult as it may be to for-
mulate a polite reply to dim-
wits. like Alan Regan or
Frances of York University
— I shall try.

Why Doug had been:

bounced from all so-called
“respected institutions’ is
obvious to anybody who can
still think. Ninety per cent of
all. newspapers in - our
democratic society -are here
for only one purpose: to
make money. The public gets
informed and also quite often
“‘misinformed’’.

whatever.
may be beneficial to the-cir-

culation. Very very for-
tunately the North Shore
News does not fall into this
category.

And now my _ opinion
about racism, a subject 1
believe I am qualified to talk
about after visiting nearly 50
countries and seeing many
races ‘and nationalities at
close hand.

Neither I nor Doug would
go along with the Ku Klux
Klan and stcp all immigra-
tion from Asia or Africa but
atthe same time | am dead
set against opening the
floodgates.

Ido think that nationalities
that contributed moast-right
vp to the late '60s should
have ai least equal oppor-

tunities (numberwise) to
enter Canada.

It makes me sick to see a
man coming from the Far
East to establish a ‘egal
bridgehead and a year or two
later God knows how many
children, his wife, father
mother and a dozen other
relatives arrive. This obvious-
ly does not happen with most
European immigrants and a
very sad imbalance of na-
tionalities becomes more and
more obvious.

One more thought about
human, rights and religious
freedom. Sikhs believe they
have a right to carry their
traditional dagger in public
and even in court. Fortunate-
ly this nonsense was not per-

mitted recently in Manitoba.

Only an idiot can argue
against one basic fact: You
have to obey the laws and
customs of the country to
which you emigrated. Sup-
pose we would go to India
and shoot a cow because we
like to cat steak? Or we go to
Saudi Arabia and insist on
our drink before dinner, in
each case we would end up in
jail. Or even minor viola-
tions, such as trying to enter
a Catholic Church in Latin
countries when you are only
clad in beach shorts — you
may not end up in jail but
local people would surely
show you where you belong.

Why is it that 48 out of 50
nationalities in Canada are

Guilty please stand

Dear Editor: |
I would like to know if there
“ are large numbers of you out

there or are you one and the. ,
--.son who lets your dog out‘in

same person.

Are you, the same. person ..
‘that cuts into the morning line- :.

up for the bridge? Are you the

same person that puts your
garbage out the night before,
so the dogs can tear it to
pieces? Arc you the same per-

the morning to do its toilet in
my garden? Are you the same

Person that buys your 12-year- :

old a dirt bike and lets him out -

‘onto the streets?

Are you the same person
that burns garden refuse on
non-burning days? Are you
the same person that makes il-
legal left turns on. - Marine
Drive?

If you, are this person,
please stand up, because the
rest of us would like to “ave
you deported to North Van-
couver or better still, Port
Moody.
