Violence won't end racism

Dear Editor:

I believe racism is a growing
disease that has an enormous im-
pact on people today. It doesn’t
just. affect us as individuals but
also affects society as a whole.
This plague is sometimes uninten-
lionally ignored by parents, think-
ing that their children will follow
the morals that were taught to
them loug before.

Racism is ali around us and it is
affecting the way children think
and, as a result, the future of the
world. Do we really want our
children to live their lives in
hatred for one another?

One example of racism is the
story of Donald Marshall. Twelve
years ago Marshall was convicted
of murder in the first degree and
sentenced to 19 years in prison
without parole. After spending I1
years of his sentence in prison, a
man came forward and confessed
that he had conimitted the crime.

Later it was found that lawyers
and police had hidden evidence
that could have proved Marshall's
innocence. The man who had
commited the murder, and took
II years to confess, received five
years in prison and the possibility
of parote.

Marshall was given $200,000 as

Disguised
dinosaur
emissions

Dear Editor:

Re: Wednesday, Nov. 6 edition,
Doug Collins’ column.

Please reassure Mr. Collins that
farting dinosaurs are still
flourishing. Their antiquated, col-
lective emissions are disguised as
journalism under his name — with
the same resulting value to
mankind.

an apology for having lost 11
years of his life for a crime he had
not committed. He later . filed a
lawsuit against the court on the
grounds of racial discrimination
and received $1 million.

Some people think violence can
solve racism, | strongly betieve vi-
olence is not, never was, and
never will be a rational way of
ending racism. If we stop looking

at the color of a person's skin and
look at what's inside, racism can
be conquered. We all live our lives
differently, but when it comes
down to our basic needs we are all
the same.

Children do not understand rac-
ism but adults should. Children
must be protected from its effects.

Good reasons for NVD denial

Dear Editor:

Your article “‘NVDC_ op-
poses special zoning for
Panorama Dr.”’ (Oct. 20) ends
with the opinion ‘‘The renova-
tions’ impact to area view and
appearance would have been
minimal.**

That opinion is not shared

There are several reasons the

the North Vancouver District
