I don't believe in disorderly con- duct, but I will stand up for my. rights to say my piece, when ex- pressing my views, because we do live in a Democratic Society. I don't believe in "Antics" to ac- complish something of good. It goes against everything I believe. I don't smoke, drink or swear, and I abide the laws of this land. I love my country of Canada, and because I do, I cannot sit by and watch our levels of government slowly deteriorate our resources and freedoms, through their mismanagement of taxes and spending. Hopefully, through our efforts now, our children, yours and mine, will have a future to look forward to. I think we need to stop arguing amongst ourselves in regards to protocol, and start looking at the efforts and just means of how we plan to turn this collision course Port Perry Star we're headed on around, for our childrens sake. The "Sons of Liberty," Prime Minister - Macdonald, Abraham Lincoln, Thomas Jefferson and George Washington, were all call- ed radicals, because they fought for their beliefs and stand for Democracy. If this is the way to Democracy, I stand proud to be ranked amongst the "radicals." Thank-you Mrs. B. Walton View Lake READER SURVEY doing at all?
