Lets stop whining weve got it good you lick to death of the gloom and doom the media is imposing on us I am Lets have a little light and cheer in the country Tor a change Sure our situation is a mess Of course we have high unemployment Naturally inflation is not wrestled to the ground but has us pinned two rounds out of three But this is happening all over the world and per cent better off than most of the rot of the people in said world Do you live on a sampan in Singapore or Hong Kong existing on a handful of rice a day Those people dont have high gage rates They have nothing except that native cunning and hard work feed their bellies Does a nice lady in Somaliland or Eritrea bring you into the office and chat about which welfare program you should apply for Your children are eating mud because theres nothing else Are you stuck in Ulster as a Catholic without a hope of getting a job from the Protestants your children dirty hungry growing as vicious as small animals who are starving Arc you black with a good chance of getting your head pulverized by a white policeman If you say anything but Yes sir Are suffering from nerves and taking all kinds of pills from your well fed doctor while millions of people in the world have rickets and ringworm and elephantiasis and bleeding bowels because they dont even know what a vitamin pill looks like Are your little boys running around barefoot In therein selling their sisters for a cigarette or a chocolate bar Nope they are probably riding around on bicycles and whining because their allowance doesnt run to more than a carton of french fries and a Dairy Queen every day Are you worried about whether you should spend or a little more on a Med ding present when in most countries most mothers are wondering whether a cow or a bushel of maize is a suitable dowry And they haven t a cow or any maize Tut and tut and tut We are in an economic depression many people are unemployed our government seems to be living in Alice in Wonderland with its ridiculous six and five desperate attempt to appear credible But when have you last missed a meal When have you been cold cold cold When is the last time some cop stopped you on the street and asked for identity papers When is the last time somebody pounded on your door at and you shivered with fear knowing what was coming When have you lost been hit on the head with a club for saying is a rink Theres lots wrong with this country but there is a hell of a lot more right with It when we take a look around We read about farmers and small businessmen and big companies going broke Weil thats the capitalist system and thats the system we embrace dont hear much when the farmers hate a bumper crop and spend the winter driving south in their We seldom hear about the small businessman whos making a quiet fortune unless hes sud denly become an entrepreneur and is a businessman We scarcely hear a word when a huge company makes a huge profit But now the tears are flowing we need a Wailing Wall located about Winnipeg and thousands of paper towels to wipe up the tears Help from the government means help from you and me Come on Canadians lets stop whining My father and mother didnt whine during the Big Depression They did the best they could and desperately tried to avoid going on Relief now euphemistically called Welfare Get rid of your boat Sell your second car There is such a thing as walking Cut your kids allowance to zilch and let them earn it by working So you like steak Eat Hamburg Stop buying that crap from California and Florida in the winter lettuce for 50 mostly water grapes oranges celery those little hard bitter tomatoes Eat spuds and porridge Theyre good for you Dig a root cellar under your patio deck and fill It with carrots and turnips Get couple of chickens and If they dont lay eat them Cut out those longdistance calls about nothing and write a letter Wear a sweater and keep your thermostat down We can lick Inflation but not by living the way we do Wecanllckunemployment with some guts But not government guts There arent any And if youre out of work take your I but get looking for something else This country still has limitless opportunities if you want to work Ask the Immigrants If youdon become like those millions in Britain during the first depression who just gave up and sal around on the dole steadily eroding their very souls End of sermon But cheer up and forget the headlines Theres a place for you If you have any guts GEORGETOWN 8775266 ACTON 8532219 You may now charge your classified advertisement to your Account
