‘If you don't like it, don't read it’ — reader

Dear Editor:

I just can’t believe how lucky I
am to live on the North Shore. Not
only do | live in one of the most
beautiful places anywhere, I also
have a number cf people who are
willing to decide what I should or
should not read. I would like to
respond to these kind-hearted souls
with a few words of ‘thanks.’

In particular, I would like to
respond to Andrew Krawezyk’s
let‘2r of April 1. Mr. Krawezyk
Suggests that your paper should
reconsider printing Doug Collins’
column as it ‘‘does not reflect the
norms and values of our com-
munity.’’ 1 would like to know

Free trade vital

; From page 6

_I find that we have virtually no
freedom of choice in many areas,
simply because it suits our gov-
ernment to intervene un behalf of

“a chosen few. It is illegal for most

of us, for instance, to contract
freely to buy milk, butter, eggs,
meat or almost any vegetable
without the intervention of gov-
ernment _or quasi-government
agency. These agencies not only
represent a hidden cost to all of us
as consumers, but are a direct in-
sult and an aggression on our
freedom to trade freely and peace-
fully with one another. | -

who bestowed the power on Mr.
Krawezyk to enable him to decide
exactly what the norms of our
community are?

Myself, | do not always agree
with Mr. Collins, but realize that it
is his right to say what he feels.
Freedom of the press is the ques-
tion here, Mr. Krawezyk.

If your

do not like to hear views that dif-
fer from yours, I suggest you
subscribe to Pravda. | think we
here on the North Shore are able
to decide for ourselves just what is
offensive.

1 do realize, though, that a few
people do get quite upset when
they read Mr. Collins’ views. So,
