A8 - Friday, June 15, 1984 - North Shore News Just a bunch of spoiled brats FTER THE loathsome lot known as the Squamish Five had been sentenced to a few years in the clink, the Vancouver Province cleared its editorial throat and asked why it was that B.C. had given birth to such rotten kids. After roaming around the block for a while, ringing its hands, the paper gave vent to a daring thought: perhaps it was because ‘‘our apparent inability to mature politically has provided an environment in which violent ideas can be nurtured.’”’ That some people must always look for obscure reasons for the obvious never ceases tO amaze me. The lunatics in question acted the way they did not because B.C. is politically immature, but because they were spoiled brats who were too damned radical and lazy to do an honest day’s work. The whole bunch was on welfare, and an honest day’s work might have interrupted their fun and games and philosophizing. That is not to say that everyone on welfare is a potential Ann Hansen, Gerry Hannah, Julie Belmas, Douglas Stewart or Brent Taylor. On the contrary. But these characters were only too pleased to let our despicable society subsidize their subversive activities. None of that tedious nine-to- five stuff for them. They could pool their resources and run around in cars load- ed with 500-pound bombs. They were rotten, and we spoiled them rotten. “POLITICAL SCIENCE” We made other msitakes. We allowed the Hansen fermale to study ‘‘political “Samdwas «hap. ~ athe dd te Cooper threes Pre sanveote cd ananed Prachpre cd tas a Pras a i te plinteat get this ht strai by Doug Collins science’ at the University of Waterloo. There is no such thing as political science, of course, but the academics have a nice litle racket going under that heading and we finance that, too. We would all] be better off if every political science department were closed for- thwith and its inhabitants sent into the Fraser Valley to pick bernes. if they want to learn about Karl Marx let them do it at their own ex- pense, not ours.

Then there was Taylor. Both of his parents are pro- fessors, and he was ‘‘an above-average student.’’ Belmas, who comes through as an unrepentant, mentally- distorted little bitch, did a stint at Douglas College. The only working suff in the whole bunch was Han- nah. When he worked, that is. And then he was known as Gerry Useless. The trouble with these shiftless dimwits was that they paid serious attention to what other dimwits had to say. It was no coincidence, | think, that Belmas and Hansen chose to write a letter to Kinesis, the official organ of the Vancouver Status of Women, which I like to call the Marxist-Lesbian News. They probably got drunk on the propaganda spewed forth in that rag. And we pay for that, too, via federal grants NEXT, THE SENATE? Anyway, these two lovelies raved in pure Kinesis style about how ‘‘womyn’”’ and the forests are raped by the same corrupt males. There was all the usual jargon, too, about porn, nuclear weapons, El Salvador, and the exploita- uuon of the Third World. In doctrinated as they were, it seemed to them only natural! that they should do something instead of just talking.
