The gribble road to damnation

HAT A DREADFUL. fellow Nigel Bart-

telot must be. Imagine anyone having the

audacity to say that this is a Christian
country and that the law should be upheld!

Bartellot, as you may have
heard, is the West Vancouver
revolutionary who pointed
Out that according to the
School Act, each school day
should begin with a passage
of Seripture, followed by the
reciting of the Lord’s Prayer.

Wimpland ts aghast. But |
say Barttelot is a_ lecal
Luther. He couldn’t have
caused more fuss if he had

pansies to be ministers -
thinks this radical move 1s
only one step short of trigger:
ing a nuclear bomb. What are
we coming to when kids have
to recite the Lord’s Prayer”
If prayer isin, can hell be far
behind?

Mr. Aziz Khaki, with
whose name | am always
tempted to have fun, but

multiculters.

Then there’s Renate
Shearer, Sohdarity pirl and
conductor of the Wimpland
Massed Person Choir. She
says Christian prayers are an
offence to the darling
minonties (some of whom
hike to drink champagne and
dance in the streets when an
Indira Gandhi 1s blown
away). Renate urges the per-
sons to sing forlissimo, $0 ,as
to drown out the songs sung

fused, it says. We must
remember Multicult, 1 says.

In Victoria, it 1s stated that
the situation 1s being *‘looked
into”’, and that when the
tablet 1s brought down from
the mountain, it will reflect
the times we live in.

That’s what I’m afraid of.

What Mr. Barttelot. and
other subversives don't
understand 1s that this is the
Age of the Gribble. (Gribble:
a small marine crustacean of
the genus Limnoria, which
destroys submerged tmber
by boring into it.)

don’t because | used to go to
Sunday School, opines that
Barttelot. and his’ fellow
radicals are out of touch with
reality. Khaki is very much in
touch with reality, being late
of Uganda, a Sunni Moslem,

nailed 95 anti-libera]l theses
on the door of the North
Shore Women's Centre.

Teachers Association and the

B.C. School Trustees
Associauion, both of which
beheve Bible reading to be
the work of the devil. You
have only to read the teacher-
gribble who writes on educa-
tion for the Wimpland Press
to see what | mean.
Gribbles are everywhere.
But instead of smoking them
out we pay them to chew
away at our structure. Thus it

was wall-to-wall subsidized
gribbles at a 1983 multicult
conference tn Vancouver.
And Mr. Israel Ludwig of
Winnipeg got a big hand for
a speech in which he propos-
ed that Christmas, Good Fri-
day and similar statutory
holidays would be abolished,
they being Christian and
therefore harmful to race
relations.

Gribbles United are now in
conclave to combat the blows
being inflicted on them by the
impossible Barttelot. In addi-
uon to the above-named, we
see the Canadian Jewish
Congress, B’nai B'rith, and
the B.C. Civil Liberties
Association, which latter
claims that the present
School Act obliges students
to submit to religious
propaganda.

The way to damnation,
Gribble-fashion, is to be
found in the Bible and the
Lord’s Prayer. And the way
to salvation hes in rejecting
the culture.
