TODAY YOUR scribe casts
a quizzical eye on sundry
social mysteries and puzzles.

Let us begin with the niystery
of Paul Watson, the eco-terrorist
who rams boats on the high seas
and threatens loggers in the
Clayoquot with injury and possi-
ble death through tree-spiking.

We have it from his own lips
that he and his helpers have al-
ready spiked 20,000 trees and that
more spiking is planned.

Bluff? Perhaps. But why hasn’t
he been charged with committing
a criminal offence?

The Criminal Code is specific.
Section 464 states:

“Everyone who counsels
another person to commit an in-
dictable offence is, (even) if the
offence is not committed, guilty
of an indictable offence and iiable
to the same punishment to which
a person who attempts to commit
that offence is liable.’”

Translation: if you tell someone
else to break the law, you’re in
trouble even though the deed may
not be done. Yet Watson says that
the deed has been done.

He also had the audacity to say

_ it is up to industry. to protect its
_ workers against “industriel acci-
. dents.” Which isa bit like saying

"that it is up to the police to pro-

tect the British public from the
IRA,

What is Attorney General Colin
Gabelmann waiting for? An OK
from ‘‘environmentalists?”’

-Homo-critics and “racists” are
_- more important targets for the
“NDP than tree-spikers.

How do you like the way
Rosemary Brown has prospered?
Sucking up to the black vote in
- Toronto, your ‘‘Tory’’ govern-
“ment has appointed this worn-out
’ socialist to the Security In- __.
telligence Review Committee for a
* five-year term.
_): What she knows about security
“and intelligence could be pack-
_ ed into a pea pod. But she will
’ still get $425 a day for up te 100
, days a year for just sitting there.
-” Other goodies are also in her
basket. Bob Rae has beckoned her
to join the Ontario Human Rights
‘Commission, The loot in that case
amounts to $122,000 a year.
‘On top of which she gets an
MLA’s pension of $30,000, for a
" grand total of about $200, 000 per
annum.
It pays to be politically correct.
If I changed my ways would there
be any room in the trough for me,
do you think? .

ON THE OTHER HAND

A Vancouver reader has sent me
a story I missed.

A 37-year-old German research
scientist, Dr. Bernhard Weber, has
been given the heave-ho from this
country.

He was here on a five-year
scholarship and did important
work on eye diseases at UBC. But
we didn’t want him as an im-
migrant so he’s gone back to
Germany.

The gent who sent me this item
had this to say:

“You can bet your boots that at
the very moment this guy got
kicked out of the country we were
bringing in 50 Jamaican car
thieves, 160 Vietnamese drug
dealers, 50 Somali women and
their brats, plus 70 Haitians with
AIDS.’?. You bet.

And let’s not forget Benjamin
Iturriaga, a drug trafficker who

' was recently allowed to stay

because he would “‘suffer consid-

erable hardship’' if sent back to

Chile.

I recently had a tetter in the
Vancouver Sun about Bill 33, uka
the Kill Collins Act. In it, 1
pointed out that the media bear a
big part of the blame for the in-
troduction of that bit of NDP
fascism.

Why? Because they have pushed
all the things that have con-
tributed to the breakdown of what
used to be a sane society. So the
NDP reckoned it would be safe to
go devil-hunting.

1 then wrote the following, but
the part that you see here in bold
type was cut out.

“Only kooks could be in favor
of freedom (and a recent Sun edi-
torial had it that am a kook).

“Thanks for the mention, ut
how times change. Fifteen years
ago when I was writing a column
for the Sun, the paper wus run-
ning: full-page ads proclaiming
that ‘Doug Collins is a bulldog for
news.’

1 still am. It’s just that today’s
Sun and the NDP don’t like the
news I produce.”

A great newspaper, today’s
Sun. Run by a p.c. fem and a wet
Brit.

Then there's the item I've been
saving from The Globe & Mail, in
which appeared these words by
Stan Persky, the well-known
sodomite, who teaches at Cap
College:

‘Sometimes during the
semester, when P’'m teaching
moral philosophy...”’

Moral philosophy?
